6 days 22 hours ago	Dammit	Harvard is NOT more expensive than Michigan for many/most people, and is sometimes cheaper, due to the advantageous financial aid
6 days 22 hours ago	Which PhD program at H	The students you get will really depend on the program. In my undergrad major (religion), you did not see a lot of the behavior you describe
1 week 2 hours ago	What is it at Harvard	A non-college experience? I don't know what the the "college experience" if Michigan means unless you mean D1 sports and a big Greek system. Harvard doesn't have those. Harvard's own traditions, sporting and otherwise, are every bit as important and meaningful to its students as michigan's are to us. A much as I love love love Michigan sports, I would never propose trading "access to D1" over "most talented undergrad population, fast track to top grad schools, leave school debt-free" .
1 week 4 hours ago	Omg	Do NOT assume that Harvard is more expensive. They have the greatest financial aid program in the world, including meeting 100% of financial need with scholarship NOT loan. Depending on your income it could be cheaper to go to Harvard. Michigan is awesome but a completely different type of experience than Harvard. I have never regretted my decision to attend. I am actually the chair of the alumni interviewing committee for the area and would be happy to answer any questions you have if you mail bensmomma at gmail
2 weeks 1 day ago	Agreed	The SW corner is not crazy, but it is still pretty loud. My 4-year-old grandniece sat with us up there last year (Section 18) and she was kinda freaked by the noise at first. Fortunately we were up really high (we are in row 93 or something like that), so it was easy to take her up to the concourse for a minute (where it is not as loud) when she got a little overwhelmed. I think "really high" is a little quieter because you don't have as much noise behind you perhaps? For the record she got over her worry about the noise and made it through about 3 quarters. She will come again to Akron. To the OP, I think "blue" is where we are - Section 17 18 19 or something like that. It's next to the end zone in the corners.

6 weeks 3 days ago	Family fall weekends	Always planned around bye-weeks: September: Mackinac October: flying to Massachusetts for conference: will squeeze into Harvard-Princeton game
6 weeks 5 days ago	Video Evidence: Horses Do Play Soccer	Although I think technically this is just one hand ball after another, our horse plays soccer.  (Note:  I have followed the META post about embedding religiously, but I still can't see this.      Try http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yetov3P03G8.)
9 weeks 1 day ago	Gimme a break	You maybe going to claim you were trying to start a conversation about fried chicken instead/
9 weeks 2 days ago	Supino's, people, Supino's.	I know it isn't Detroit style, but it rivals John's of New York and pretty much every place in Italy itself. Down by Eastern Market.
9 weeks 6 days ago	I would show as much class as possible	Jeez people why would you want to represent your school with anything other than the most gracious behavior. It's the OTHER guys who are rude. Say "it's nice to meet you ". If the conversation naturally steers to football ask the nicest question you can. If you are wearing UM colors/tie and he makes no comment that is a sign he would rather leave the whole thing alone. You're ripping your firm and your school so if that's what he wants that's what you do .
10 weeks 1 day ago	I got trey and spike	But I don't know how to post them?
10 weeks 1 day ago	We are in the arena	But only the north entrance is open
10 weeks 2 days ago	Kenpom said Florida by 5 too	If I remember correctly...?
10 weeks 2 days ago	I am wearing my maize sweatshirt and jeans	Instead of a suit to teach an entire roomful of MBAs. This sweatshirt has been worn for every tournament game and includes some soda stains from VCU at Auburn Hills
10 weeks 5 days ago	Congrats MCW	You are taller than the best player in college basketball. So... What''s your excuse?
11 weeks 1 day ago	In the raptors?	What?
11 weeks 4 days ago	Also it was Morgan	Who was in the way if the final two from KU, causing it to be passed out beyond the 3-line, causing the win
11 weeks 4 days ago	My family	thought I was being killed in a home invasion.

12 weeks 5 days ago	Harvard wins!	Biggest upset of the night and first ever tourney win by the Crimson. Illegitimi non carburundum Domine salvum fac Gaudeamus igitur Veritas non sequitur Illegitimi non carburundum Ipso facto
13 weeks 1 day ago	No	I have the whole strip
13 weeks 1 day ago	The Spartans fans	May well have left the building. Their game is at 12:15 and ours 7:15. It is a truth universally acknowledged that a Sparty in possession of UM tix would sell them to the highest bidder and use the money to buy a couch to burn.
13 weeks 2 days ago	Cool but	....source? I need the whole schedule still no googleluck
13 weeks 3 days ago	What time	Does the VCU game start? Actually I am in need I the whole Auburn Hills schedule and my googling expertise is letting me down so far

16 weeks 5 days ago	Busy busy busy	Weekend:  sleep, trail teenager daughter shopping, concert, WOLVERINE BASKETBALL SECTION 114 REPRESENT I SMELL VICTORY, concert.  Also grading Backpacking:  Nyet. Real life: oh sure bunches, and had many in class....they are all surprised to find I have so many points.   Grilled cheesee:  Anything on Zingerman's Paesano bread, sliced and basted in olive oil and toasted on my George Foreman grill.  Dill havarti, cheddar of all varieties, fresh mozz and pesto, pretty much anything works.
17 weeks 19 hours ago	Ayup	I have Auburn Hills tix so if we don't end up there I will be .....unhappy
