To add that many faculty implies there is space for that many offices and that each will bring a heck of a lot of research money of which (is it now ) ? 30% will go to the uni budget for so called overhead.

counting on millions from the fed budget? you are as special as all the other entities that also want millions from the feds.

As one of the people who feels somewhat drained by taxation, I wish that this wasn't going to happen.

This whole version of the Emperor's New Clothes seems to have a shakey foundation based on money from ESPN etc.
At least one version of this yesterday identified her as Jewish and she had lived in Israel.
Growing up the RedSkins would have been my favorite, except our TV reception was terrible. Way before other feeds were available.
Then the Oilers were so easy to love when I worked in Houston. The move to Tennessee wore that affection down, with games played in Memphis, then they lost their name, their spirit and just everything.
I can't imagine how much insurance costs for those. Heck, our state collects sales tax close to 10% of the sale price.

Is there an option for a basic truck with no frills?

It's easily the worst commercial of the year.


Worst of the year? There are so many competitors.

We could be going for:

Worst Saban commercial of the year?
Worst Deion commercial of the year?
Worst Manning commercial of the year?
with several subs based on which Manning
Worst Indiana HC commercial of the year?

The only slight smile comes when you see that they've had to put their 'star' 's name on commercial because he isn't as famous as their ad people thought he was.
And it is almost always a he, this season.

At least one report said he didn't feel he was ready to play.

For behaviour detrimental to the team, some are goners.

But one apologized for something he said upon entering Northwesterns stadium.
quote:

Safety Ben Finneseth appeared at Sanders' news conference Tuesday and apologized for comments captured on social media as he prepared to take the field at Northwestern. Finneseth criticized Northwestern's temporary stadium, saying, "S--- sounds like a f---ing library."


OK, I'm a cynic, but I am impressed. Why?
Because Colorado has a player who knows how quiet a library is supposed to be.


So tell me how the hell someone can walk across Mexico in the heat and have pure white, undirtied clothes?
When we bought this place, the front facing the road had a porch the entire length. It was known locally as the one place that would have a cooling breeze when no one else had. It faces east. It had one swing. We took that one down (it's now on the porch on the west facing front of my husband/s wood working shop) and we built two swings from Louisiana cypress, one for either end,

The miracle (snark) of porches is that they give shade. Shade drops air temperatures and cool the houses faster than that maple tree you just planted in the front yard that you'll start appreciating in fifteen to thirty years.
It totally depends on where you live.

Yesterday I placed an order and it was delivered before 8pm last night. No additional charge. Amazon prime. We are about 25 miles from the big fulfillment center that used to be a shopping mall. We aren't even on the rich side of Knox County, but I'd guess enough neighbors shop Amazon to make their delivering our orders pays their in house shipping costs.
It's better than bringing your parent(s) along.

Who was it said, "There is no bad publicity?"
I'm surprised the grains of asphaltenes didn't stick to the players and their uniforms.
Coming soon, to a NYC theater a new musical celebrating this side of culture.

Who pays for the ad space that this groups have been buying? Who paid to make this many different ads and are the coaches and former coach doing this for free?

Following the money isn't easy but it needs doing.
How about missing the days when T-shirts were under shirts and worn under shirts?
Now they are worn as outer wear until the colors fade and the decorative fronts are all but illegible.
I have friends who live in York. They moved there to escape the crime and diversity of Baltimore.
Decades ago, in one of the big marathons (either NYC or Boston) the favored female runner had diarrhea the whole time. People were handing her toilet paper, she was wiping as she ran and then throwing the paper down and reaching for more. IIRC she won.

That would have set a precedent, if it was a first.
And then you hear the extended zap of when a hungry gecko thinks it's found the bug gourmet buffet.
