Class of 2014!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
how hot would it be if Joe Buck was doing the Eagles/Giants game and then Game 4 of the WS later that night since they're both in Philly and both Philly vs. NY
 
did you see the first episode of the Joe buck show on HBO when he got destroyed?

as far as announcers

Gus Johnson is number 1
Bob Costas is number 2
Marv Albert is number 3

Doug Collins for color commentary >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
 
No, I didn't. If I had, it would have been wrong before this.

Check your edit options, and look at your setting for daylight savings time acceptance...my guess is your second one was set in a way that it did not adjust your central time zone time stamp with the roll back to standard time this morning. In other words, the option for recognizing changes to daylight savings time (your 'DST settings') must have been turned off, thus relative to GMT your SDN clock did not move.

all of boston collectively shake their heads at you. including your parents.

not my fault. i didn't grow up in boston. so my yankee fandom and manhattan pride are totally allowed.

Yeah the NYC ones are crappy.:laugh:

agreed. unless you're taking international flights out of JFK... duty free shopping is always fun times.
 
how much is the instate tuition from UVa?

I need to double check (edit: oops, it is $35k now - ouch). It is the highest of the 3 instate public med schools, and it is towards the high end of the range for instate publics around the country. Va Tech will have the highest instate tuition ($40k+?) but it is technically a private school.

Having said that, in the past, I know that the instaters at UVA have gotten a scholarship (used to be around $13k) and then get an alumni group loan at a low interest rate, in addition to taking out the subsidized federal loan amount. So the sting is minimized for instaters in that they don't have to take out any high interest rate private loans to pay for tuition and fees, but I assume they still may need to borrow more to pay for the other costs of living, etc.

The bottom line for me, even as an instater, is that the COA at UVA does not represent a huge savings over many private schools, and I have interviewed at several that I am very interested in, and I intend to keep all my options open until I see the finaid offers (assuming I have more than the one acceptance I now hold).

They have chocolate dipped candy apples here!!!!! It's only two bucks. WIN.
 
gosh, when are those AP rankings coming out? This one should be fun to see.
 
duty free shopping abroad is amazing

nothing like bringing home a box of cubans to celebrate a bunch of nothing with my dudes
 
Fantasy basketball play starts today. jackson, are you ready to be annihilated?

Will there be a way to check who is winning each day?

No i'm not, because it's not gonna happen!! you better watch your back, my team will crush you😛
 
lol so it looks like you all won't be awake for a while 😉

i spent half of yesterday "upgrading" to windows 7. i think microsoft intentionally made firefox slower than IE in 7...be warned

Why are you upgrading? I'd let them sort the bugs out first. Plus, never upgrade an operating system, always, ALWAYS do a clean install.

Morning!

Oh, Oregon looked GREAT yesterday. I think Texas should be #1 soon and that we might even end up with a Texas and Oregon going for the title...dang Boise State.
Florida and Alabama...one of them will HAVE to lose. But I doubt either will get through the season undefeated anyhow.

Eh, who cares who's #1 right now. Who do you see Florida losing to except possibly in the SECCG?

did you see last year's oscars opener? anne hathaway is a goddess.

She's awesome, did you see her SNL skit on Mary Poppins? friggin hilarious!

Bamtuba, about Florida or Alabama losing - it will be quite simple. They will both lose to LSU.

I just really hope Iowa loses. So in this case, it will be a CWS rematch of Texas-LSU in Pasadena.

Ha, I hope you guys beat Bama, because I'm pretty confident that we can destroy LSU.

i finally celebrated my acceptance this weekend and had a great time, i celebrated with people i didn't know but that was still pretty cool

if you guys haven't celebrated your acceptance(s) yet you gotta do it. there's no reason you should stress yourself on "choices" of school or whatever. celebrating your acceptance really takes a hugeeeee load off your back and makes you realize how we could be in a less fortunate position

Man, I'm gonna do it next week...when I should finally have a week of no interviews after my Miami stuff on Tuesday.

gosh, when are those AP rankings coming out? This one should be fun to see.

Doesn't really matter, AP is completely irrelevant now.
 
wait, so how does this fantasy basketball thing work? Does it go week by week or something? What if some of my guys aren't playing today?
 
wow ive had a terrible day

i spilled like 18 things so far. i just spilled water on my desk/keyboard and somehow the computer automatically typed the keyboard notation for wink on microsoft word
 
So just a reminder for the fantasy players, make sure you set your rosters up today cuz today is the first day the games count 🙂

Are you sure? It might actually be tomorrow.

Wow, you guys been to Denver airport? This place is amazing, it's basically a department store on roids.

Yeah, nicest airport I've been to for sure.

how hot would it be if Joe Buck was doing the Eagles/Giants game and then Game 4 of the WS later that night since they're both in Philly and both Philly vs. NY

That would absolutely suck, because Joe Buck is pretty much the worst announcer ever.


Anybody see that TD pass from Addai to Wayne?
 
in fantasy, thats a ripoff for whoever is giving up roy and rondo.

She needs big men in the biggest way though, look at who she has on roster. I need guards, on the other hand, so I'm willing to part with Duncan. OJ Mayo's gonna be a beast this year too. We can negotiate further, and work out something mutually beneficial.
 
No thank you.

You do realize you're gonna get killed on boards and blocks right. I'm considering Duncan for Rondo, but I think I lose too much scoring then. How about Duncan and Nelson for Rondo and Roy?
 
yo. Favre is playing out of his mind. this is incredible.
 
Eh, who cares who's #1 right now. Who do you see Florida losing to except possibly in the SECCG?

Exactly.

The only reason I bring it up is that I think the top-ranked teams don't really look all that great right now except Texas.

But what do I know? I like Virginia Tech and they have just fallen apart...

🙁
 
Today was the most boring day in the ER ever. The only thing I saw was the start of shingles. That's it. Nothing else. Lame.

I have to start writing papers....
 
Fantasy football makes me insane. It seems like I play the guy who scores the most points every single game. My team routinely puts up 120+ and loses. The last 2 games I have lost to a guy who was projected at 60 points and ended up scoring like 110, while my team that's supposed to score 110 scores 70. So random.

this is my last year doing fantasy. it dilutes my watching experience.
 
Check out these stats from this week's matchup:

Me
Projected Actual
114.41 56.80

Them
Projected Actual
65.42 77.10

I realize that projected stats don't mean you're going to win, but it does mean you put together a good team. How does it happen that every single one of my players has a bad day? Baaaaah. /ranting.
 
Wow. I honestly shouldn't have joined this league 'cause I care jack squat and will probably just keep my line up the way it is forever. 🙂

You guys are way to technical and serious, probably not something I should've jumped into
 
Just boarded my flight home and I got the row to myself! Woohoo!

Ditto.

I have had an absurd amount of candy today. I'm bouncing off the walls.

I also heard a random conversation earlier... I was walking down the street and these people were having a conversation with each other across the street. One girl yells "Did he ever find his laptop?" and the guy across the street replies "yep! In the fridge!" lol. So. Random.
