    Road Trip to Michigan

    The Graduate hotel is right on the main campus and downtown Ann Arbor which means lots is walking distance. I used to stay there when my company annually recruited their MBAs. May be tough to get a room there on a game weekend. I also recommend Zingermans and a little place called Afternoon...

    OT: Working from home / remotely

    I work from home one day a week. I tried two days a week a few years ago when they took my office away and went to open concept. I also sometimes work a second day at home if there is a kids event to go to (field day, music concert), this flexibility I really appreciate from my company. I find...

    Homecoming in name only?

    I agree with the OP. After homecoming last year, I posted that it really is now just another football game. For me and my tailgating crew dating back to 1992, each year it was our annual football event where we invited more family and friends, extended our tailgate hours and spent some time...

    OT - Rutgers MBA

    Like many have said, where to go and how to go is an individual decision that has to be based on one's career goals and what school will best get them there, but also while doing so within the risk tolerance of that individual. I'm an RU undergrad with an MBA from a lesser school. I work with...

    OT: Work Advice... Salary Increases

    Your fiancé definitely learned something about her employer. Not much sense in pressing the issue with them as it will likely only damage her own position in the company. My best advice is take what she has learned, work the job with integrity and start planning an exit strategy while not...

    OT-How many times you wear your dress shirts before laundering?

    Twice. Unless I stain it. I wash 'em at home. And I always iron before each wearing. I'm a wrinklephobe.

    Laviano was 13 / 27 for 165 with 0 td's and 2 interceptions

    sometimes I can't tell what is Laviano checking down or what is uber-conservative play calling or what is the offense just not being able to do what it really wants to do because of lack of execution, game speed, etc. In the end it results in stuff like this...21-7 right before the half and we...

    Flood might have lucked out....

    I don't know who is the best quarterback, but given the offense barely has a pulse, why not try the backup? How do the coaches not just say "why not?". What do they have to lose at this point? This all reminds me of the bowl game in Orlando against VT where Nova was having a bad game, it was...

    Okay. Thanks. Very helpful.

    Blue Lot,Homecoming, New Normal???

    Agreed that too many don't GAF. That starts with the experience while at school which is often discussed here. Athletics success helps and has but probably not if students are getting hassled in the lots as posters have noted. To me lack of a homecoming event is just another example whether...

    Blue Lot,Homecoming, New Normal???

    Good one. In all seriousness there was a football game there and you wouldn't have known it. So we have a big time game with no homecoming event, they have a big homecoming event with barely a notice there is a football game. Opposites. Different things in different places and why there are all...

    Blue Lot,Homecoming, New Normal???

    I say they had a nice homecoming event and now we are trashing the school. Oh boy. Sorry I brought them up. Won't do it again.
