Under the spreadsheet there still appears to be someone selling 500 level tickets at 1300 each. They want to sell 1 or 3 seats and I'm in need of 2. If anyone wants the single ticket at that price maybe we can work something out and buy all 3? You can text me at 630-seven7nine-813nine if anyone is interested.

Thank you mgoDAB!  Last year I was cautiously optimistic and this year I'm a true believer.  No more feelings ball, I'm all in on E[PAP].  May I use your optimizer to win some doughnuts?  My work pool doesn't play for cash.

Here in support of bacon jam.

Also a fan of currant jam both for the flavor as well as the potential dad jokes about preferring it to past or future jam.

Agreed on p90x and I'm actually restarting it now a decade later since the gym is also out for me.  I would always prefer free weights but I was able to get a handy set of bands where you could combine up to 3 at once.  Buying 3 bands and the special handles set me back $50 and then I had 25 different "weight" combinations I could use which was good enough to do all the workouts (with minor modification).  

One note though, if you're trying to pack on muscle it's probably not the best (too many reps too little weight).  But in terms of balance between strength and cardio, for an at home workout, I haven't seen anything better yet.  If you just want cardio try insanity.  No equipment required for that one.

Very much agreed.  I was late to the party and just got into the animated Star Wars shows last year.  I never would have guessed that an animated series could created an Anakin character that was actually compelling to watch.

Sorry I should have specified I'm not talking about Hamilton in NYC.  I'm sure it will continue printing money on Broadway as soon as it safely can.  This was a limited time run in DFW and I can confirm it got moved to the back of the line. Link? Link. https://www.dallasnews.com/arts-entertainment/performing-arts/2020/04/22/hamilton-in-fort-worth-has-been-postponed-all-the-way-to-2022/

Less future prediction and more current observations

Had tickets to see Hamilton in June and yesterday it was rescheduled for Feb. 2022.  Any kind of show like that can't just be delayed a few weeks/months because other shows were already scheduled behind it so it goes to the back of the line.

There's also a big beach volleyball tournament I usually play in each summer near Philly, it hasn't been canceled yet but it's only got to be a matter of time.

For travel originally I was supposed to fly for several bachelor parties/weddings/birthdays this year.  Obviously not traveling right now as the earliest events are just being postponed or outright cancelled.  But the OP makes a good point, even when traveling is appropriate what will a social distancing birthday look like, is it worth traveling for, and what are you able to do when you get there?  Luckily the airlines are as helpful as I've ever seen them offering full refunds or some airlines giving you additional credit if you opt to reschedule your flight with them.  I've actually been taking the latter option and booking as many flights as I need for this year since prices are so low and gambling that any airline credit I amass I'll be able to use within a year.

I also learned pinochle from my grandparents and have tried to teach my generation but it just doesn't stick.  Closest I can get them to play is spades which is still quite fun but definitely an easier game.

Your phrasing, "they let the police investigate," lends some insight into part of the OSU fan base.  In other places, city and/or state authorities don't need a university's permission to conduct a criminal investigation.

Obviously Mattison wouldn't do this unless everything was on the up and up.  But wasn't it a few years ago the players said something to the effect they were allowed to have bagels but cream cheese on them would have been an NCAA violation?  I'm 100% for this team bonding I'm just hoping someone can explain how these food rules work.

I am sad that I have but one upvote to give for this.  Well done

The mimes

The mimes are actually Jabbawockeez, (Las Vegas based hip hop dance crew) not that it makes any more sense why they are in the UNLV football picture.  They wear bucket hats, just part of their shtick, but they do resemble german war helmets.

My guess

edit:  post above mine seems better informed

When was the last?

Does anyone know when the last fan appreciation day was where the departent did something like this to add to the gameday experience?  I can't think of anything beyond the "fan day" where you can wait in line for 4 hours to get a single autograph.

Boss is pissed

 about something but it's Friday so I dont care 

Halloween

great holiday, or greatest holiday?

never too early

never too early to posbang

Working through the weekend

please bang since my boss has me working through the weekend

Poutine

fun to say, more fun to eat.  Probably my second favorite thing from Canada after Nik.

French fries, beef gravy and cheese curd.  Don't knock it till you try it

Diversey

you are quite right, thank you for the correction. 420 W Diversey

Duffy's

Duffy's on Division street is where I watched the football and basketball games when I lived in chicago.  The crowd is like mid-20s mostly local fans but definitely some recent alumni as well (you can find them because they were the student fooball shirts from the years they were in school).  It's standing room only for most games and they play The Victors on the bar sound system after every big Michigan play.  Closest thing to being in the student section without being at the Big House.  Also beer is pretty cheap and they have moderate selection.  

Sometimes when you're on

Sometimes when you're on is a classic hype video.  Also the "it's my time" one is really good though a bit older if i remember correctly

Need the bang this week and the ones upcoming are going to be really rough. please bang away
Peppers is too strong

I'm no doctor but after the OMG shirtless I'd be willing to bet Pepper's ACL is made of a material stronger than titanium and cannot be torn.  

 

\knocks on wood \rubs rabits foot \picks all the 4 leaf clovers

here for the bang

busy Friday, this posbang might be the best part of it

Need MOAR weekend trying to get various projects done before the season starts and productivity takes a nose dive
and colors too...

I made t-shirts for an org at Michigan not that long ago.  Probably violated tons of these.

Devil's Advocate

I guess technically you don't neet negative recruiting when your official visits are like the ones at Ole Miss, Clemson or the SEC officials Denard/Tate alluded to.

Also Neighborhood Scout says Columbia SC is only safer than 4% of cities nation wide, which is a slight step up from Detroit and right on par with Baltimore.  Ol' Ball Coach be cray

Apply Early!

I worked in admissions for 2 years during my undergrad (2010-2012 so not that long ago) in the college of engineering. They have a policy that applies to the entire college. Every year there is a target number of students they want to bring into the class so when the application becomes available in July they draw a line in the sand of a certain GPA and ACT score and so on. They review applications as they come in and if you are above this line, you get accepted whether you are just above or well surpass these requirements.

There are 2 things to note: 1 your application doesn't get reviewed until your "application is complete" so make sure all your recommendation letters etc. are in ASAP and check your application status online often until it's deemed complete. 2 this policy of admitting all students above a given line will apply through about December 15. At that point they have filled at least 2/3 to 3/4 of the incoming class. If you apply after this date now Michigan becomes much more selective and really is taking only the best of the best until the final acceptance offers go out in March.

You have a good resume but Michigan saw a 250% increase in application rate when they switched to the common app. Applying early (completely done before the end of September) will improve your chances. If I had not applied early I may not have been accepted myself. Good luck and Go Blue!
