Miss the dance and face the pink slip
It was also probably the final home game for Hinson, after nine years with the Bears.
It is expected he will be fired by Missouri State sometime next week unless the Bears pull off a miracle and win the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament.
"You know me," Hinson said. "I'm not thinking about that. I'm thinking about how we can win that tournament."
It may be a longshot but the Bears are good enough to win the tournament and give Missouri State a reason to keep Hinson for a 10th season. .

Clearview Mall imposes curfew
Most folks are accustomed to showing a driver's license or some other identification when entering a nightclub or boarding an airplane. But now, that's something some patrons of Clearview Mall in Metairie will have to get used to, under a new policy aimed at controlling crowds of unruly youngsters and teenagers. According to the mall's Parental Escort Policy, patrons 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult who is at least 21 years old on Fridays and Saturdays from 4 p.m. until closing. To enforce the rule, the mall has hired extra security to guard the shopping center's entrances and card the masses, General Manager Tara Lubrano said. The policy went into effect Friday. "We like to welcome everyone to come to the mall, but to crack down on the security issue we had to do something," she said.

Rosen cynically plays the victim card
It must be a slow day in the life of a victimized and outraged conservative columnist if he has to look at a small college 1,800 miles away to find a suitable target for his wrath ("Incubators for progressives," Feb. 8). While the president of Bergen Community College has clearly overstepped his authority when trying to impose his "Code of Responsibility" on his college, Rocky columnist Mike Rosen somehow turns the well-intentioned but misguided attempt at restoring some civility to the college community into an attack on the Constitution and an example of the Great Anti-Conservative Conspiracy at U.S. colleges. By focusing on extreme examples, he leads the reader to the conclusion that a "promise to respect every member of the college community" is akin to advocating the use of North Vietnamese-style re-education camps to force everyone to think and act alike.
