41 weeks 2 hours ago	Yup, San Antonio and OKC can't compete with the big markets	Wait, those were the teams in the Western Conference Finals this year, you say?  What?
1 year 4 weeks ago	Not sure what role you're hiring for	Not sure what role you're hiring for, but I'm not sure this is true across the board. Students at less prestigious schools won't even get a look from many consulting firms or high finance roles. This is probably true in some fields, but don't think you can make this wide a generalization. School definitely matters early in one's career, in my experience.
1 year 7 weeks ago	The NPV of $500k in one year vs. $50k over 10 years	Is about the same ($325k for the one year or $332k over 10 years).  This assumes 3% discount, 35% tax rate for Trey's one year, and 22% effective tax rate for the $50k/year.  Those are pretty favorable assumptions towards not leaving.  I think the ETR over 10 years could be higher and the 3% discount is pretty damn low.  More importantly, this assumes that Trey would make no money in any of the other 9 years, which is not at all realistic. Fact is, if it doesn't work out in the NBA, he can go to Europe and earn $80k a year.  In the off-season, he can take classes towards a degree.  I don't think there is a way you can splice this and think that it isn't a good financial decision, if he can make that $500k in the first year. To me, that's still a pretty big if. Best of luck Trey!  We'll always have MSU 2012, Part I.
1 year 8 weeks ago	So basically you didn't like Lolla's headliners last year	Because Coachella and Lolla do about the same when it comes to booking, in my opinion.  Last years Coachella headliners: Kings of Leon (headlined Lolla 2009), Arcade Fire (headlined lolla 2010), Kanye West (headlined lolla 2009), and the Strokes (headlined Lolla 2010). I fail to see a significant difference there.  Deadmau5 and and My Morning Jacket are pretty damn spectacular from Lolla last year too.  And as mentioned above, the line-up top to bottom is generally outstanding. Booked my ticket this morning.
1 year 25 weeks ago	Full cost of attendance change contributing to change?	Just curious.  Seems like the NCAA's rule change could benefit us with these cross country recruits.
1 year 30 weeks ago	You know how you stop misinformation?	Tell your side of the story.  Lloyd had plenty of opportunity to do so, but never did.
1 year 31 weeks ago	yup	Rodgers wasn't recruited out of high school either. He started at a juco.

1 year 32 weeks ago	Dang it	Double post
1 year 32 weeks ago	Ok	This is also not explicit, and my previous post was deemed "trolling, so I'm hesitant to post it.  But Bacon makes a remark in an inteview with Sam Webb at around the 6:40 mark of the podcast that can be found here that "any one who thinks this is a RichRod cheerleading excercise, please inform Rich of this...also inform his lawyers." Again, that's not explicit disapproval, so draw your own conclusions.
1 year 32 weeks ago	That specific sentence might	That specific sentence might not mean that RR disapproves, but Brian indicated in his previous Three and Out post that RR is not pleased: "Bacon's been banished to the Drew Sharp area of the press box, Michael Rosenberg is livid, Rodriguez himself is apparently hugely pissed. And while I can't confirm this like the above, I can't help but think that Lloyd Carr hates this book more than anything he's ever hated." That, to me, indicates disapproval.  Of course, I don't know what/who Brian's source is, but he also says that he can confirm. Just sayin.
1 year 33 weeks ago	Nevermind	Says they're "officially" prohibited in all B1G campus lots.  Cans it is!
1 year 33 weeks ago	Tailgating Question	We have a sizeable group going, and are thinking about bringing a keg up with us.  Is this allowed in the campus lots?  I ask because it is not allowed at Iowa.  I looked in the game day guides provided on the NU website, and didn't see it mentioned, but want to be sure.   Thanks in advance!
1 year 34 weeks ago	815	Book it.
1 year 36 weeks ago	Allegedly, only allegedly.	It's unsubstantiated, but alleged, that Craig James killed five hookers while at SMU.
1 year 36 weeks ago	Marvin Robinson and Josh Furman were highly rated	but Carvin was a 3* who allegedly picked up a late SEC offer (from Tennessee?).  Prior than that, he was very under the radar.   Either way, Furman and Johnson are second year players.  Let's not write them off quite yet.
1 year 36 weeks ago		No, I think "technically" missing all the games is sitting out the season.
1 year 37 weeks ago		I've got the "@ SMU" part covered.
1 year 38 weeks ago		Dang it. Is 28 old or something? FML.
1 year 38 weeks ago	He had to have been kidding re:Barca-Real Madrid	There is no chance that a Boston homer such as he doesn't think Red Sox - Yanks is the greatest rivalry in sports. Or he was just trolling hard.  Or it was one of his stupid reverse jinx things, but I'm not sure how that would apply here.
1 year 38 weeks ago	He might	but to honest, I doubt he's even aware of it.  Would make for much better entertainment if he cracked.
1 year 38 weeks ago	Stolen from EDSBS commentariat genius	Please make this happen
1 year 38 weeks ago		I love China Gate. I've stopped ordering kung pao chicken at other restaurants, as I'm always disappointed. China Gate set the bar too high.
