With you on that. 

Also, we shouldn't discuss capacity with noise quality here without factoring in construction: the shape of the stadium (Michigan bad; Autzen, Husky Stadium, and the Shoe good) greatly impacts the noise levels. There aren't many places louder than Autzen or Husky stadium when the crowd's rocking, even though their capacities are dwarfed by the Shoe's.

You're welcome

Partially true in that once you delete your account (which you now can do, thanks to all of the outrage), your history and images still reside deep in the bowels of some FB server somewhere.  But at least at that point, you are not connected to them anymore.  I did this with my account and have never looked back.

The big question is, "Can we keep them around for more than 2-3 years?"

For one semester? Absolutely - it would be crazy for anyone to not make that bet on themselves.

You’re joking, right? Did you even read it? You did see that all of the data was from the CA EDD, didn’t you?  That’s a California governmental agency, you know, the one to whom your employer pays payroll taxes and to whom you pay your SUI?  Are you alleging that the EDD is making up numbers?

If what you’re saying is that you think the data was made up by a blog writer at Wolfstreet to prop up an invalid position, c’mon - you really are in denial about what is going on in this state. There isn’t any argument, only data.  Being both ill-informed as well as unable to think critically is the real affliction that currently plagues us. 

LOL ignoring data.  This really doesn't have anything to do with Texas.  Everyone wants to talk about what a big economy California has, but that really means nothing as your quality of life is going to shit, and if you really think it hasn't, you are either really rich (good for you - they're going to keep taking more from you, so you'll need it) or ignorant of what's happening (bad for you, because it's all around you, and you are still blinded somehow, perhaps so enamored of "the great weather that makes it all worth it"). 

I, along with all the others who are leaving, will grab some popcorn and watch from the distance as you all drown in your own filth. 

For the next six weeks, I will still be a resident of this place, and when I leave, after having lived here for 20 years, I will never look back.  This "dime a dozen", "...California hate" you refer to is not unfounded or "...uninformed...".  The rest of the country SHOULD be looking at California as a way to NOT be doing just about everything, and this piece of legislation is another example; housing costs, homelessness, hyper-regulation, high taxation - and few other issues I won't name here so as to stay on the right side of the comment policy - are actually sinking this place.  This move by the legislature is emblematic of the root cause of many of these symptoms, and if you see that as "hate", I'm sorry, but that's on you. 

From just yesterday: https://wolfstreet.com/2019/06/24/california-panics-about-losing-businesses-people-to-texas/ . Still want to stand by that position?

I for one will be glad to show this state my backside. Good luck to anyone who is left to deal with what remains of it.  The term is "bagholders". 

HA! Not what I was thinking... :)

...and the clap.

This is super shady.  That whole FSU program has always been dirty.

Rutgers, while athletically inept, brings the NY market ($$) with it. I could make good arguments for drumming them, Maryland, or Indiana, frankly if we were looking only at sports.  Academically, it's a different picture, though, and most tend to forget that the foundational concepts of the conference were actually academic. Due to that, I would definitely put the target on Maryland first.

B1G hitter.  Great hire. 

Maybe with his ND connections, he'll finally persuade those fools to join the B1G and kick Maryland out?

Ryan's overcome a lot - more than anyone but him would have ever guessed was possible - and we as Buckeyes should definitely all be proud of him and encouraged by example.   

Tough Steelers? He's got some stiff competition with Rocky Bleier.

Wow, who would've guessed that so many Buckeyes were playing for dough overseas?!? Really speaks to the difficulty of making it in the NBA when you see how positively most of them are contributing, too.

Must. Have. One. Mo......

Can't say that I've seen anything like that in person, but I do know that their liberal return policy affects their suppliers, one of whom I work for now and one of whom I used to work for.  Wierdest RTV we ever got from them was a hat that was coated in vomit - one of their customers bought it, threw up on it in their car, then took it back into the store and exchanged it. They wanted us to take it back.  I, of course, so "no way", and they, of course, pointed to some arcane fine print in our supplier agreement that said it was allowable. We had to give them credit for the return because they were under their allowable rolling average RTV amount of 2 months or something.  Stupid, but if you want to do business with them, this is the tradeoff that you accept.

My all-time favorite Buckeye hoopster. Very sad day for Buckeye nation.

Totally agree. If it is a tie-breaker between a couple of canditates on their efforts and ethics, sure, give me the person who scores higher. 

THIS^^^ Some of the dumbest people I've ever met had the best academic pedigrees and/or highest IQ's.  Give me someone who will be persistent and push through adversity any day over someone who has all the answers but is usually wrong. 

Damn, I'm getting ready to take an extended assignment in Frankfurt - wish they'd have waited a few months! That would have been cool to see firsthand!

The latest update: 

1. Carmody's dad is the Mars Area HS football coach.

2. His brother is a basketball player for Notre Dame; might have an impact on his decision, although it seems he hasn't expressed a "lean" yet. 

3. He is equally talented in both basketball and football, and an ability for (not a commitment to) playing both may factor into his decision on where he goes. 

All for now - will update as I learn more.

Agreed, and Columbus >>>>> State College.

Trying to get some intel from a friend who lives in Mars and who might know Carmody's mom.  

Extra good wishes for you and your health, Hove, and thanks for the great work you all do here.  Heal quickly!  (SPRING) FOOTBALL'S ALMOST HERE :)
