This Board Has Become Unbearably Negative...
December 18th, 2018 at 1:12 PM ^
Beat Florida.
No, seriously.
December 18th, 2018 at 1:18 PM ^
TK?!?!?!?! Is that you?!
December 18th, 2018 at 9:52 PM ^
Beat OSU.....fuck Florida
December 18th, 2018 at 1:12 PM ^
I'm sure some people will find a way to turn that picture into something negative.
December 18th, 2018 at 1:17 PM ^
I'd say the puppy isn't that cute and they should have recruited a better one.
December 18th, 2018 at 1:28 PM ^
To add to this- The baby is definitely going to be a project. wayyyy too much development time and energy devotion with no guarantee of a high upside
December 18th, 2018 at 5:07 PM ^
What's his pad level like though?
December 18th, 2018 at 1:32 PM ^
That’s a 3 star puppy.
December 18th, 2018 at 4:19 PM ^
And that 5-⭐ baby? We'll finish 2nd in recruiting for him. Jilted only in the home stretch on a last-minute offer to either Bama or OSU.
December 18th, 2018 at 4:47 PM ^
The Bears are already moving up in the draft to get him.
December 18th, 2018 at 1:18 PM ^
Well for starters it’s a blatant hold
December 18th, 2018 at 1:21 PM ^
Microcosm of Gary's career at Michigan.
December 18th, 2018 at 1:32 PM ^
Clear head to head contact too. That baby's going to have to miss the first half of the next game.
December 18th, 2018 at 2:18 PM ^
French bulldogs should be illegal. They can't even breed naturally.
December 18th, 2018 at 3:44 PM ^
How in the world is a photo of a dog attacking and eating a baby's face supposed to be Positive and Heartwarming?
December 18th, 2018 at 7:57 PM ^
I look into that picture and see nothing but germs.
December 18th, 2018 at 1:13 PM ^
I got into Ross yesterday for B School so I'm feeling much better about Michigan related things as I whistle past the departures section of the board.
December 18th, 2018 at 1:14 PM ^
Hey man, seriously, congratulations! That is quite an accomplishment. I know lots of people there - some more insufferable than others - but it's an amazing school and you will do great!!!
December 18th, 2018 at 1:16 PM ^
Thanks! I preparing myself to deal with some pretty annoying people, but also a lot of people with a ton more experience and intelligence than I have.
Just have to figure out how to pay for it all.....
December 18th, 2018 at 1:20 PM ^
I have a machine to print counterfeit money if you want to give them "cash."
December 18th, 2018 at 2:37 PM ^
How good is this counterfeit exactly??
December 18th, 2018 at 2:42 PM ^
el mejor
December 18th, 2018 at 1:23 PM ^
I graduated from Ross. Yes there are annoying people / people who know everything about trading derivatives / people who spend an hour debating over font size and color during group meetings. But it was an amazing experience where you are given the same curriculum as the MBAs. Your compensation post college will pay for it especially coming out of Ross. The curve is pretty nice too and saved my butt in a couple finance courses :).
December 18th, 2018 at 1:57 PM ^
Bro. So what if I colored in your group meetings? I was bored.
December 18th, 2018 at 2:33 PM ^
I'm coming in at a (possibly) self-perceived disadvantage. Poli Sci for undergrad, been working in payroll and HR departments since graduating 5 years ago so in my mind (which I'm rather hyper-critical when it comes to my own accomplishments) I'm not the math or stock trading genius others are.
There are going to be smarter people in the program, but I know when to shut up to avoid looking dumb.
December 18th, 2018 at 2:39 PM ^
You'll be Ok, and you'll bring something the gunslingers don't have: knowledge of how to actually run a few parts of a business.
December 18th, 2018 at 3:03 PM ^
You’ll be fine. I was a history undergrad and finance MBA. Just show up and do the work and there is zero chance of failure. Our moto: No muss, no fuss, B+. We used to play “Gunner Bingo”. We had squares for each gunner in the class and made a mark when they raised their hands. When you had a winning card, you had to raise your hand and use the word “Bingo” in your answer. Needless to say, my buddies were the B+ students sitting in the back and sneaking out for beers at Dominick’s. It seriously is not that hard, but you learn a lot.
December 18th, 2018 at 3:10 PM ^
I know when to shut up to avoid looking dumb.
Then you're already smarter than many people in the world - including me on occasion.
Seriously: Congratulations, best of luck, and go kick some ass.
December 18th, 2018 at 6:19 PM ^
Work on public speaking and presentation skills. I was surrounded by egg heads who were incredibly smart, but once we got to Speech class I figured out what their achilles heel was, They couldn't talk in public! Great all gathering all kinds of data and analysis but couldn't explain it in a public setting.
December 18th, 2018 at 6:11 PM ^
This made me laugh! I'm an 86 B school grad, before it was called Ross. But your comments on people discussing trading derivatives, etc is so spot on. I was more worried about where the party was that night then reading the wall street journal.
December 18th, 2018 at 1:43 PM ^
FYI, the annoying people I was talking about are faculty... ;-) You'll be fine.
December 18th, 2018 at 1:14 PM ^
Congratulations!
December 18th, 2018 at 1:14 PM ^
Congrats!
December 18th, 2018 at 1:16 PM ^
Congratulations on your accomplishment!
December 18th, 2018 at 1:26 PM ^
Congrats man!
December 18th, 2018 at 2:05 PM ^
Good shit Jedd! Congratulations.
December 18th, 2018 at 2:08 PM ^
Awesome! That undergrad degree from Michigan B-School will sit there like a cherry on your resume for the next 40 years - you will be stunned how many doors it opens.
Also is fun when you go to grad school - it will seem easy compared to the next two years. Strap in!
December 18th, 2018 at 2:36 PM ^
Already have a BA. Going to Ross for grad school.
Strapped in for a daunting 2 years!
December 18th, 2018 at 11:52 PM ^
We should probably hold off on the Muppets. He'll likely flip to the Alabama Manderson School of Business.
I had to look that up.
December 19th, 2018 at 7:58 AM ^
Their bagmen have started calling. Mercedes and cash are quite the offer.
December 18th, 2018 at 1:17 PM ^
I have a set of twins on the way. Three more weeks.
I also have some stories being published this week and I'm awaiting word on my novel from the board of a publishing company. So there's that. Life beyond college football.
December 18th, 2018 at 1:19 PM ^
Good luck and Go Blue!
December 18th, 2018 at 1:21 PM ^
I have identical twin daughters who will be two on 3/1/19. Good luck, mate. You'll need it.
December 18th, 2018 at 1:32 PM ^
Upvotes to both of you.
December 18th, 2018 at 1:49 PM ^
My twins are seven and could totally kick your twins asses!
Pro tip for parents of twins: As they get older, pretend to confuse their names/indentities often, even if you can actually tell them apart. It's hilarious and drives them crazy.
Of course mine are different genders so your mileage may vary.
December 18th, 2018 at 1:53 PM ^
"Of course mine are different genders so your mileage may vary."
Now that is funny. Thank you!
December 18th, 2018 at 4:10 PM ^
You ever get any yahoo ask you if they are identical? We got that all the time.
WHAT PART OF BOY/GIRL TWINS DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?!?!?!
December 18th, 2018 at 1:58 PM ^
Same here. I'll have to try that. I already do that with my boys who are 18 months apart.
December 18th, 2018 at 3:02 PM ^
Best wishes for a healthy delivery. You deserve that!
December 18th, 2018 at 1:59 PM ^
I'll definitely do that. Right now, mostly what they say is "what is that" or "who is that." I answer their questions every time, but they just keep asking. It's pretty funny.
