I graduated from Michigan’s…

I graduated from Michigan’s aerospace engineering program a couple of years ago and I can’t imagine a better school to have gone to. The network and curriculum set you up for great career prospects. I have classmates that have gone on to work at Skunk Works, Orbital ATK, NASA, SpaceX and Boeing, just to name a few. Basically wherever you want to be, umich engineering can get you to. Additionally, the curriculum is extremely challenging and prepares you for both grad school and industry. I went on to do part time grad school at the University of Southern California and have been shocked at how much easier USC has been. I know USC is not an ivy, so that comparison may not be useful, but I believe that the combination of cost, campus life, curriculum, and the ability to set you up for the next 40 years makes Michigan engineering one of the best places to go in the country.

Original Overtime Spot

When the overtime period begins, how is the ball located on the 25 yard line? Is the nose placed directly up against the 25? If so, then the idea that chains are not needed and the boundary of the white line is correct. However, looking at the original placement of the ball during the second overtime period, the ball appears to be placed with the 'horizontal center' of the football at the 'horizontal center' of the 25 yard line. These centers are placed in apostrophes since they are best estimates by the referees. Continuing with this, if the nose of the football is the location measured for the first down, then the nose of the football, in the original placement, must be the datum of the set of downs. I.e. the line to gain should be 10 yards from the NOSE of the football. Thus, using the original overtime spot, the ball should have to reach further than the boundary of the white line to be deemed a first down.

Parallax

Absolutely amazed at the amount of people that don't understand parallax. On the other hand, most OSU and MSU grads probably failed the ACT WorkKeys. My expectations of fellow humans are always too high.
