By way of keeping it fair and balanced, I've updated my avatar with a little SJU promo.

Let the love fest begin....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN 

Yes indeed!  Happy birthday to John Gagliardi--85 today, I believe.
And happy birthday to Guy Bellair, wherever he may be

Congrats to Carelton for winning 3 conference titles on Saturday.  It's just a shame that when those students are graduated from school the only memory will be how in the world am I going to pay off my student loans when tuition, room and board are around $50K per year?!!

Probably consoled by the fact that Carleton grads have the highest starting income of any four-year school in Minnesota.

Is this a fact?

And by the fact that Carleton students, on average, graduate with the second-lowest amount of debt of any school in Minnesota.

Touche!

Interesting website and good information to know.  Luckily for me I wasn't up around $29K and I am on the verge of paying these loans off in the very near future. 

Seriously though.  Congrats to Carelton on the 3 championships this past weekend.  Like ROR said it's impressive!

I wish I would have left SJU with "N/A" debt.  As it is, I just paid it all off about two months ago.  Considering I graduated in 2003 and would have had several years left if I wouldn't have paid off a big chunk at the end, that's a lot of payments, and I have plenty of classmates that had more debt than I. 

I have plenty of co-workers with the same jobs that went to cheaper state schools,and even one or two that went to UST (I guess they don't all move to Washington DC to rule large corporations  ).

When I was a youngster I thought all Catholics had to go to Mass today because it was my birthday. Now I know that it's because it's John Gagliardi's birthday.

Perhaps the Johnnies can run the table as a birthday present to John, extending his streak of winning seasons to 44.
