Hi all - longtime lurker here.. Don't post much. I splurged quickly after the game and bought 3 tickets. Field Level Section 143, Row 15. 20 Yard line. I planned on taking my two boys but can now only take 1. In other words, I have 1 ticket. I paid $1,037 each and only looking to recover all or most of my cost. Looks like tickets in this section are going $1500-$2K on TickPick and Stubhub.
You'd get to sit beside me and my 10 year old boy.. GO BLUE!
Thank you Sir. It was a privilege to serve our country and I'm grateful for the opportunity to have led American Soldiers.
I had no idea that Military Officers could transition well into Corporate America before I joined the service. As for the MBA, I'm looking to improve upon an obvious weakness. I have no formal education in Business especially with Finance and Accounting.
To graduate from UM, would be one of the proudest things in my life outside of my children and my time in the military.
Absolutely! I do have one question. I'm married with two young children and my career definitely can't take a back seat for two years. I have the support of my boss who happens to be our President and of course the thumbs up from the wife. Going through the WMBA yourself, no one can provide me with the framework of the program better than you. Obviously time management will be critical.
Was your life situation similar when you went through? If so, any lessons learned you'd like to share?
Yea, thanks for pointing that out. I guess I never realized that the school doesn't have any financial risk.
Either way, I'm excited to apply and I think about it all the time. Not saying that because I think I'm the only one who does or anything - this thread is an obvious example that I'm not. Hearing the same from others just shows the passion we have to not only better ourselves, but rally around a common component - Ross.
Appreciate the thread and the responses above. Has only validated my decision to apply to the Weekend Program starting Sping 2016.
I live in Cincinnati, but a 4 hour commute to AA twice a month for 2 years sounds like a blast to me. I don't have the most competitive resume but my strength lies in my work experience:
- Army Officer 4 years (deployed to Afghanistan 2011)
- Landed a great job with a Fortune 500 company as a Project Manager two years ago and recently promoted to an Account Manager (1 of the top 3 accounts for the company)
- 3.3 Undergrad GPA (Liberal Arts) and currently studying for the GRE.
Because of the military, I qualify for the Yellow Ribbon Program which means if I get in, I won't pay a dime. I'm hoping this helps a little on admissions because the school knows Uncle Sam will be footing the bill and I won't need loans, scholarships, etc.
Being a father of two young boys..I couldn't imagine what it would be like to not see my children grow up and enjoy their success in life. We are certainly all proud of the young man Caris is becoming and it's unfortunate his old man isn't here to experience it as well. Caris has a bright future..in basketball and especially in life in general.
In today's media, these articles are few are far in between, which again -- is unfortunate.
His regular redshirt is available and a medical redshirt is obviously an option. If his prognosis isn't until week 6 or beyond.. I would prefer we reshirt the kid and still have 3 remaining years on the table. Either way, the kid will work his "Butt" off to recover as quick as possible. Get well soon Jake!
This is great news. Just goes to show what a great recruiter Nuss is as most people assumed Mr. Harris would find greener pastures with Mr. Borges gone. Not saying he will re-commit by any means. But, getting him back on campus is a step in that direction.
If GRIII opts to leave.. will be a huge mistake. The kid isn't ready for the next level just yet. He needs another year of grooming and continued development of his offensive skills. To be honest, I'm trying to remain un-biased here, every single kid on our roster needs to stay in school. I love Nik, but I just don't see him getting much PT in the league. He is no where near where Reddick was his senior year, and JJ has had an average NBA career at best. In my opinion, Levert might have the most NBA potential out of all of them. He creates more opportunities with the ball and can shoot the J with regularity. Just my two cents..
By the way.. I've read the blog for as long as I can remember, but finally joined the community. Cherry-poppin post.

Good luck to the OP!
Clark is a Bruin.. book it. I'm confident we land VJ, If we can land either Marshall or Weber, signing day is a win!
I know this deserves a dedicated thread... but I can't create just yet. Good news as this kid looks like a stud.

Really wasn't a fan of her articles or quite frankly, listening to her audio coverage of the team. Best of luck though.
