Was in Paris for the MSU…

Was in Paris for the MSU game this year and couldn’t find any bar w/ the game. I definitely recommend a streaming workaround. 
Our hotel even concierge called Belushis, Moose, Great Canadian, etc. to check and none of them had it. 
 

Have hired Ross & Penn undergrads

Wharton > Penn > Ross > Brown

I'm a Michigan econ grad, so I understand that I'm somewhat dissing my own education, but Wharton/Penn kids command higher salaries, get into top 5/10 MBA programs at higher rates, and have greater access to top companies (Goldman, Google, Apple, McKinsey, etc.) at internship/graduation time.

When we hire Ross kids, we're competing against Ford, KPMG, Accenture. When we hire Penn alums we are competing against Google, and corporate strategy teams at Cap 1, P&G, etc. When we hire Wharton alums, we are competing against Goldman, McKinsey, Bain, TPG.

Just my $0.02, but if your kid can get into Penn/Wharton, then that's probably the best long-term bet for them.

Welcome

First, I think we should welcome nice and friendly fans from all fanbases.

Second, I like the premise of the question and think that Bosa will get the "bigger" stats (sacks, TFLs, etc.), especially if he continues to play on the outside. IMO, I would rather have Gary over Bosa because filling an interior line is harder than the outside.

Just my $0.02

Couldn't agree more

Really appreciate the work, Alum96!

I'm in a similar boat

An MBA only makes sense for me if: 1) I go to a top 10-type program AND 2) I decide I want to be in banking or consulting because the debt + foregone wages are too big of a loss to cover the increase in salary w/ an MBA (even including faster rate of comp growth w/ an MBA).

My advice: if you want an MBA, try for a top 5/10 program (HBS, Stanford GSB, Wharton, Kellogg, etc.), and if you don't get in/don't want to get an MBA, see if your employer will pay for your EMBA. Every EMBA I've met is company-sponsored and works full-time, so you won't have any debt and you'll be making $$.

Needed to happen

Once the video was released

Thanks for posting the link, OP. Here's hoping we save some lives.

I lol'd at work

and got weird looks from my coworkers after seeing this pic. Well done.

Sebastian Janikowski

He was a 1st rounder and hits within 50 and 60 yards on a pretty regular basis

Wish there was a way

to download to your 360 while at work. That'd be glorious.

Did not know that

Thanks for the info!

Random Question

I know nothing about softball, so I wanted to know why they scuff the balls? That seems counter-intuitive to me for them to scuff the balls before using them, but I've never played.

Did the same thing

it's so crazy to think Jake Ryan was low 3-star, high 2-star prosect. Really makes you wonder the kind of growth we can get from these "very high ceiling" prospects with Hoke and Mattison coaching them.

Fox Sports 1 could come into play

and given that BTN is 49% owned by News Corp, I think you'll see Fox take a keen interest on protecting some CFB from the ABC/ESPN duo. I'd expect Fox to pay more than market value simply to ensure that FS1 has enough content to be competitive with the ESPNs.

If SEC Network Comes in at $1/sub

And you live in, say Atlanta, you'd be paying $10 + whatever margin your cable provider adds on in sports costs for just 4 channels:  ESPN, ESPN2, Fox Sports South, and SEC Network (Source: SNL Kagan). It'd be worth it if you're a sports fan, but they're fleecing everyone else.
