That?s not a lot of beer for a guy that size to get that blasted from.

One of the guys we knew would run around the dorm with no pants on and have girlfriend drama. it was pretty sad, actually

I'm worried Warde is just incredibly cheap.

I hope I'm wrong...

We are talking about doing laundry and keg parties in the dorm?why are you dragging this thread back on topic?

He extended Beilein, so I think he'll pay for a coach.

I can't un-imagine that now.

I think there are now more female/male undergrads, but that's also a nationwide trend.

Who you see in class everyday still varies wildly on the school and major though.

When I was there, psych, "communications," poly sci, etc. all had a lot of cuties. Economics not so much...

I remember a few cute engineering students in my calculus class, but other friends in the engineering school disparaged them as being only "IOE" students - Industrial Engineeers - which they said was like Engineering for bunnies.

Real engineers took mechanical, chemical or electrical engineering I guess.

The one thing all engineers seemed to have in common was the belief that if you were an engineer, that made you an expert at everything, including humanities, business, politics, philosophy, etc

Seems like he's approaching this with a mid-major mentality. That's just from the outside looking in obviously.

Word is that Billy Donovan is looking to move back to college. Westbrook is rumored to no longer want to play for him (shocking). Three consecutive first round exits in the playoffs doesn't help. He has one year left on his deal with the Thunder, but that will be a lame duck year if Westbrook has soured on him.

Warde should be pulling up a Brinks truck to his house.

Later in my tenure, as mentioned, matters improved. Even in my 400-level History classes.

That arrogance comes from knowing one is going to be employed after college.

I suppose. at the time though, we all assumed we would... this being the Dot com boom years, when anyone with a BA from UM in just about anything could walk out of Ann Arbor with a job offer from Deloitte, Andersen, Accenture, PWC, etc. as a jr. "consultant" for $50K to start.

Of course, the year before I graduated, it all fell apart, everyone had their offers pulled, and hiring dried up.

Within a year or so after graduating in 1984 with a degree in English and no business education whatsoever, I got hired to be a stockbroker by Dean Witter.

When I graduated from UM in 2005, those of us in my field were told that there would be plenty of jobs because folks were retiring. . .except that no one really left. Given the struggles of many a job seeker, I'm glad it took me less than a year to get work in my area of specialization, and in my hometown to boot. Definitely lucked out there.

I had offers from some brokerages to do that, but my financial econ professor said it was a waste of my education, "You want to be selling stocks and mutual funds to retirees in Metro Detroit?" so I went to law school instead.

He had a point; it depends on how good of a salesman a person is, and how much a person wants to live in Metro Detroit.

Within a year or so after that, I got my Series 3 commodities license and set my own commodities brokerage in the LA area.

Things didn?t go quite as planned, and I moved into promoting small penny stocks to brokers like Jordan Belfort.

I used to call him about the deals I was pushing, but he never picked any up.

Turns out, he just was trying to find out what else was going on out there besides what he was doing.

I wanted to teach History at the Professor level. Then I talked to one in the department. He told me, if I wanted a family, I'd need to find another line of work. I asked about him "you are a History professor." He sniffed "we're all independently wealthy. We don't make a living at this." So, naturally, I got into film and video production and then writing.

Independently wealthy is always a good gig.

Then you can get a cool side job like being a history professor.

This man was too smart for the world and passed away in 1986 or so at a young age. I found out in 2015.

James Vann was his name.

he was like a 4th string red shirt freshman LB ...#44, I believe. not sure if he ever saw the field.

lol, I finished college and moved back to Colorado and 'interned' at an Environmental Law office in Boulder. After a year of making copies and driving filings to court, I decided to jump into the snowboard industry rather than go to law school.

Now I sell ETFs to financial advisors in the Western US.

:lmao::lmao::lmao:

Thanks for placing even more dimension to the vision. :no:

I would be remiss to not go back and acknowledge the humorous irony of this post.

And irony is one of the things I thank God for the most.
