In case, you missed it on the football board.

I feel kinda lost without him and Mike, that’s how I gauged the extremes of optimism and pessimism so I could land somewhere in the middle.

Now I’m stuck trying to figure out how to feel based on wrassler’s posts.

What did happen to Mike?

I saw the thread title and thought Gottfried Benn had joined the forum

Damn you again @Hungry Jack you made me google Gottfried Benn.
My favorite course at NU was probably a course on Modern Culture taught by Rainer Rumold from the German Department. He was the consummate literature professor--tweed jacket with elbow patches; a full head of hair slicked back with a silver-tinged shock that hung forward and occasionally brushed his eyebrows; and a baritone voice with a German accent that hung long vowel sounds out to dry like laundry in a back yard in the deep rural South.

He gave us a great diet of 20th century European lit: TS Eliott (The Wasteland is one of my faves, Love Song of JA Prufrock), J.P. Sartre (Les Mouches!), Heinrich Boll (billiards at half past nine), Benn, etc.

We talked about the disillusionment in society after the horrors of WWI, the failure of Weimar, disgust with the materialism of the 20s, and the alienation of the technological age that brought mechanized warfare and the Soviet arms race. Pretty heavy stuff, but Rumold made it fascinating.

"Schrella, where are you?"

Bah, it's all liberal jibberish! ;)

As a ChemE major, I didn't have a whole lot of opportunities to study obscure turn-of-the-century German poets, but I did take 2-3 lit classes that were pretty good.

Thankfully no safe spaces back in those days. We let it all hang out when discussing The Wasteland. Rumold took no prisoners.

I've been rotting and dying here for some time, with or without his help. And you guys scarcely even noticed; thanks a lot.

Where's my ball? I'm heading home.

1-0 since we became a zombie program! Like the Long Beach State baseball program, I think we need an alternative nickname. No one has claimed the Undead, yet, have they?

The best part? Not a single post from the biggest naysayer. The Cats shut his *** down better than Lockdown Louie.

The rot and death is spreading to Durham, NC after their loss to Stephen F. Radford.
