Congrats chad!
Donovan already being mentioned as favorite for Sixers and Bulls jobs. He's definitely staying in the pros.
Marvin Williams was drafted ahead of Chris Paul and Deron Williams. That's how I'll remember him.
This NBA action has been fantastic!

Congrats, Chad. Congrats, BRax.
Mount Sterling is an okay town. It's the residents of the town that are the **** Show. They love their Court Days, their $.79 Polar Pops, and their drama.
Celtics-Heat will be a helluva series, assuming Boston finishes the deal with Toronto.
Actually, the Court Days in Preston are better. Might be a culture shock for some (including my wife), but it's still going on this October while they canceled the Mt Sterling edition.
Rondo won't be an NBA HoF'er, but that dude has had a helluva run in the pros. Big game tonight for the Lakers. If they win the title, he'd have to be in very short company of guys who've won a ring with Boston and the Lakers.
Billy Donovan out at OKC. Let the rumors fly!

Rondo isn't a HoFer but he should get consideration to have his #9 hanging in the Celtics' rafters.
Just caught the birth announcement from Sir Chad - wonderful news and congrats to you guys ....no one ever really clued me in on how fun being a dad could be - you’re in for some moments that are truly better than any material wealth -
soak up and appreciate the little things as you guys grow together- it just flies by so fast
Nice optimistic post / news to end the day with too [smoke]
I guess the issue is that it seems like the vast bulk of this is just the wokesters playing language games to intentionally trap people into something that is supposedly offensive.
* Congrats, Hatboggan!
Thanks to Terrie and Frank(who is Frank?) for the BTBC donations. Really appreciate it.
Congrats to BitchRax and ShortStackedClassyChad on their viable egg gravy.
wcc has been a #GIRLDAD for almost 24 hours, and drxman still has yet to remind him of his obligation to "keep her off the pole."
I'm honestly stunned.

Doc's too busy browsing baby gift websites to see if any of those "Big Johnson" shirts come as onesies.
Bless your heart. Tuition is less than half the total cost of attending.
Total tuition and fees for two for 4 years, assuming 5% annual increase = $120,000
Total room and board for two for 4 years, assuming 5% annual increase = $140,000
That's best case because a 5% annual increase in costs is optimistic based on historical trends. So, yeah, $250k-$300k is about right.
Congratulations @wcc31 ! Being a dad is pretty amazing, and the father-daughter bond is something special. You're about to become more selfless and protective than you ever imagined.
We're doing the same math, hoss.
So, once you've paid their tuition of ~ $60,000 over 4 years, you're budgeting another $1350-$1875/month for "living expenses."
It's your money, so do with it as you please. But it sounds like the TWEEONZ are living the freaking dream in college.

Attaboy, Chadwick!
I hope mother and child are doing great.
I bet ol' grandpa is on Cloud 9.

- Assuming 5% tuition increases and a 6% return, it will take $555/mo for 18 yrs (starting this month) to pay for full cost of attendance at UK, in-state ($265,233 per Vanguard’s simple planner).

* If "full cost of attendance" includes the student not having a job, and the parent paying for every single textbook, meal, car insurance, gas, transportation to and from school, rent, utilities, cell phone, spring break trip, fraternity dues, clothes, football tickets..... 
Did anyone on this board get that deal from their parents?

Congrats on the new job at Hallmark btw
Yeah, it was great. I got the KEES money, what else did they want from me?* If "full cost of attendance" includes the student not having a job, and the parent paying for every single textbook, meal, car insurance, gas, transportation to and from school, rent, utilities, cell phone, spring break trip, fraternity dues, clothes, football tickets.....

-had a part time job(bad idea) freshman year at CB&T. Oldham lumber sr year...worked breaks for the family business. Paid for frat dues and booze etc., folks covered everything else...because they could.
-living on campus freshman-sophomore year is integral to the college experience. After that its optional but still have to pay rent somewhere.

For budget purposes, "full cost of attending UK" includes tuition, fees, dorms, meals, and books. Those things alone get us to the $260k. Those other things we'll figure out as they come. Always better to over-budget and under-spend than under-budget and over-spend.
I don't believe it costs that much to attend UK. I mean, it probably it does, but I just refuse to accept that it has happened and people aren't literally marching on campus with pitchforks.
The better ways to spend $150k (even on teenagers) as opposed to paying for state school are almost innumerable

Just stopping in but maybe we should expand gambling and legalize marijuana in this state and apply the tax revenue to education.
I dount they'll be in dorms all 4 years, but assuming so is the more conservative approach. The dorms now are a LOT different than they were when I was there. They're essentially really nice apartments.
My parents paid tuition and rent as long as I kept my grades up until I cut myself off end of JR year. I covered food, utilities, insurance, fraternity dues, etc...
I've been 100% on my own since the summer before my senior year though.

Not free... but generally provided by parents/guardians. Obviously, if you are from Lexington and can continue to live at home those wouldn't be "in addition to" expenses. But most people aren't from the city they go to school.
For 20-21, per student:
| Tuition and fees | 12,484 |
| Housing (Lewis Hall) | 9,368 |
| Dining plan (All Access Blue) | 4,200 |
| Books | 2,000 |
| Total | 28,052 |
They don't enroll until 22-23, so assuming 5% annual growth, it will be 30,927 at that time. Continue 5% annual growth for 4 years and you get a total cost of 133,300.
Undergrad full tuition ride + KEES money. Parents gave me $500/semester. Anything else I was on my own. Can’t even remember all the **** jobs I had, studies I signed up for, tutoring, etc.
Even with in-state med school, with the lovely 6.8% federal loan rate for tuition and living expenses, since you can’t work during school; then residency trying to make minimum payments so interest doesn’t completely topple you...still left with >250k. Not to mention the interest that continued to accrue in residency. Scam.
I mean it’s my fault, I made the decisions. But looking back I had no idea WTF I was doing, and that 6.8% is a damn joke.
Goal is to have it all paid back by end of 2022. Then I’m throwing a hell of a party.

Most of these places throw some "marketing" scholarships and grants at just about everyone, right? As long as we were in school and doing well they paid for school, cell phone and car insurance, We paid rent/R&b, food, bar tabs. They'd occasionally pay off our CC unknowingly. Those were fun nights.
They'll both probably get a little scholarship money, but UK is pretty stingy, so not sure how much. Not counting on it. KEES will probably be about $1k per kid per year, which is a drop in the bucket, but something. I doubt we'll get any financial aid. They're taking the ACT next month, so that will be a factor obviously.
I got a check at the 1st of every month for $350. What I did with that was up to me, but once my parents paid tuition, that was it. Food, beer money, frat dues, gas, car insurance, utilities, cell phone, internet, spring break, textbooks....that was completely on me. It's amazing what a college kid can afford when he actually has a job. Leaves them infinitely more prepared for the real world, too.
***IF*** I set up a CFB pick’em against the spread for 10 games each week, 7 SEC games plus the best B12/ACC...assume I could count on a few folks from here? Looking at $100/person.
Goal is to pay out the winners (top 3 ideally) each week then top 3 at end of year get big money. Only worth it if I can get a large number of people.
