2) Nevermind, I will never be able to afford college then.

If history has told us one thing it's that it will repeat itself unless something changes. You should be fine sending Ollie to college,as the next major "bursting of the bubble"will be in education costs within the next 5-10 years. The student loan default rate will spike and tuition costs will come back to reality once administrators see a couple consecutive years of empty classrooms and campuses that resemble ghost towns.With so many recent graduates working jobs in coffee shops and living in their parents basements,people are waking up and really considering if a "fluff" degree will get them to the next chapter of their life successfully.
We'll wake up and realize the core sciences and accounting actually make people employable while "women's studies" degrees usually don't.

Not in the Roney-era, they didn't.  Or maybe I just wasn't high enough on their list!

Hey Goose egg & Tom Bench boy,

For you information about ( the "CLASSLESS TOMS")  Here is somemore input for you boys to change next year?
after watching about 35 bowl game since dec 14th,  the only team i saw to disrespect the victory formation was UST in the stagg bowl..  regardless  of how many scores the team was down OR time outs left. (one point or 35 points) . Not a good reflection for the toms.    Again  Glad no Mt. U players  got hurt...

Since I am on a roll today, (Posted on the North, East and now West boards), I'll comment here...your statement above is certainly true (since you didn't see it, but I did see Kent State blow up Arkansas State's victory formation Sunday night...

Bman,   thanks,  I missed that one I was watching the PRO playoff.  (PLAYOFFFFFFS)  I see that kent state also had unsportsmanlike flaggs.   Plus their coach is leaving ...   So now the total is ONE D1 school , One Pro team 
( 49'ers/seachickens) and only  "THE classless UST's." IN D111..

How's the ICE fishing boys?  any luck?  Weather on the sea shore's of old mexico is just great.. we have  found a whole bucket of big sand dollars..  fishing reports soon.

DC-Uno,
The bite is mixed,depending on time of day & depth of water. Some nice Crappies & Walleyes reported locally (Western Suburbs)-we have 14" of ice, so you can drive your truck on the ice if you are brave & keep your windows rolled down incase you have to bail-out 

Hello SJU CIENTO CINCO,  muchas gracias.... 

Weather is 59 -79 Mostly sunny..  The wind blew us off the Gulf yesterday but, not before seeing some whales and sun fish.    Hope to drown/drag  some bait soon.. (Marlin's beware)..

Things just got real interesting in Collegeville.

Kurt Ramler Named SJU's Associate Head Football Coach & Offensive Coordinator

Good stuff here in the 56321.

Now we're talking.  The future looks brighter every day.

My inner Tommie is beaming brightly. We dodge the bullet of seeing a fireball recruiter, dynamic offensive innovator (Ramler) take the helm at SJU and we dodged the positive local media hype and alumni enthusiasm that would have followed a Grant hiring (as least short term). So basically  MOTS (more of the same), unless AD Stock has some budget increases for assistants/recruiting up his sleeve. 

It's on like Donkey Kong now!

[finsleft]

Yep, MOTS, except for which Minnesota team will be going deep in the playoffs.

Save this post and retweet it mid-December, 2013 as proof of the wisdom and prescience* of Finsleft.


*that oughta sent the tommies scrambling for their thesauri

Sorry, off topic here.

Does SJU air their football games?

Sorry, off topic here.

Does SJU air their football games?

Yes. There is a live stream of the radio broadcasts for every game.
We're still trying to twist some arms to get a full video webcast.

I'm loving the Ramler hire.  Not only a good OC, but someone with an in-depth knowledge of the QB position!

Video broadcast is what I meant. thank you

Wow.  That is a coaching staff and great delegation of responsibilities.  Congrats to Gary and the Admistration on putting this together.  I am also happy to that Jimmy has a role that may allow him to succeed and make his own mark.  It may be too early to read tea leaves, but this staff looks like it is built for the long-haul/future transition.
