and came back to grad school the Rose Bowl season… other than that it’s been slim pickings.
I have a friend there now who did her undergrad at Cal and wonders why I’m not nearly into college football as much as she is. I always tell her that if I went to a school with a real team it’d be easier. Much like how growing most of my childhood without an NFL team in STL made me not care much about the NFL.

Funny Engineer joke
A pastor, a doctor and an engineer wait for a particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer fumes, “What’s with these guys? We’ve been waiting for 15 minutes!”
The pastor says, “Hey, here comes the groundskeeper. Let’s have a word with him.”
“Say, George, what’s with that group ahead of us? They’re rather slow, aren’t they?” the doctor asks.
The groundskeeper tells them that the other golfers are a group of blind firefighters who lost their sight saving the clubhouse from a fire and that they come and play for free whenever they want.
The group is silent for a moment.
The pastor says, “That’s so sad. I will say a special prayer for them tonight.”
The doctor says, “Good idea. I’m going to contact my ophthalmologist buddy and see if there’s anything he can do for them.”
The engineer says, “Why can’t these guys play at night?”

i think pretty much every college raises tuition like crazy
not just the big state schools
(sez the private school guy)
Clemson raised theirs but I think they did something that made sure people already paying tuition didn’t have to pay more. I think so anyway because my bill didn’t change.

You think you're better than us

"The Cards lead this game tied 1-1." -Mike Shannon
i went public for grad school
so i got that going for me.
About 8-10 years ago
The state legislature had a cap on the state schools, then they “deregulated.”
They’re now probably going to reinstitute the cap.
Run Vince run! There's a tarp chasing you! Run! It's right behind you!
ha, anything will probably work better
than continually upping enrollment. I remember seeing a Mizzou commercial recently touting their “biggest class ever.” Kind of funny when I recall taking exams while sitting on the floor because they didn;t have enough seats
Everyone goes JUCO
and then transfers into their original choice.
Run Vince run! There's a tarp chasing you! Run! It's right behind you!
I think, not sure
that Arkansas may offer in-state to residents of adjoining states. They have been trying to boost enrollment and I think they may do this. Worth looking into.
Also, I’ll put a plug in for the smaller schools. Yeah, it’s not Div I, but many times the education is just as good and they are less expensive and often have lower ACT requirements. For instance, the school I teach at gives tuition scholarship for a 24, tuition + room & board for….. oh crap, now I can’t remember… 27 I think. (in-state, out of state has to pay diff in tuition)

yeah, i went to a small school
albeit an expensive private one…while the sports were a joke, even my intro classes only had 20 people, and there were no TAs in sight.
sometimes no TAs can be a really good thing
I had a TA in a programming class that i literally wanted to strangle

No the teacher didn’t care about spelling. I just don’t think he was that good at cheating. He was trying to be inconspicuous but I knew. But since he was trying to hide it he wasn’t really doing his best cheating work and I finished way before he did so the last part he was on is own. It was also all our own answers so he was probably trying to not be word for word.

"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

If TLR makes a straight substitution
Does Skip’s significantly better arm turn the double play?
Does Colby get to the ball in CF?
I don’t know for sure but I shouldn’t be asking either question right now.

Unless Colby is positioned differently, he doesn't get that ball.
Skip’s arm might’ve turned the DP though.

not sure about Cody, only because i don’t know if he’d sell it or not

offense is really the problem
we had six Ks and zero walks. Eight hits but only one run. Got decent pitching, decent defense overall.
Sure the offense sucked something fierce
but that’s the hand Tony was dealt going into the 9th and he slipped up.
I miss our offense.

think the offense can tune up in two games?

but I'm guessing talking of baseball is done, so I'm hittin' the sack.

Tony is such an ass
what was the problem with the mound that Carp had? i’m watching the rerun of the post game & he wouldn’t say, he just kept barking at the reporters he wasn’t going to talk about it. 6ly, WTF man?
it’s also comforting to know he has no regrets about pulling Cody & putting Skippy in CF.
good luck with Los Gigantes next season Tony

Boras expects Ankiel to get a full time gig next season elsewhere if the Cards can’t guarantee a starting spot
“There aren’t many players who can play center field with his kind of power and his kind of arm strength. … There are going to be a lot of teams who look at Rick as a substantial trade over what they have.”
Colby should be CF.

I don't see the Cardinals winning any of the last 8 games
without a closer or any semblance of hitting.
However, I don’t think the Cubs can pull off each of their last 10, despite them being such a well-mannered, handsome, and well-groomed bunch of individuals.
Hopefully, we win the Central by a game, but otherwise get prepared for the Playoff Game against the Cubs.
