The Swamp

A_B

I can clear out a room. Mine have gotten worse with age. I reached a point about ten years ago when my own farts made me want to vomit. That must be a true sign of aging,. So unfair. The day that happens, I'm printing out the "Random thoughts/images/shit that makes you feel old" thread an...

By all means keep all the commentary coming, but we've settled on an itinerary for the trip in a couple of weeks. Thursday heading out and doing a session at Washington and Lee (in addition to swamp love, my wife's cousin is in law school there and so it was always gonna be on the list to stop by),...

She isn't, but probably would be if the opportunity arose.

Also could drive left-leaning people who were planning on sitting it out off the fence if it's close. It's only one small example but Penn Gillette who is pretty famously a libertarian (small-L libertarian) traded his vote with someone in California and voted for Clinton in Nevada because it's a sw...

UK controls their own destiny for 2nd in the SEC east. It's unlikely we beat both UGA and Tennessee but neither of those is setting the world on fire. It'd be cool to knock at least one of them off to get a better bowl, assuming we also handle Austin Peay in a few weeks. Not expecting to give Louisv...

Oh wait. When you say they couldn't take the check, it's not like it was an equipment failure...you're saying it was declining it basically. I guess that would mek it less likely for you want a check. And really, who doesn't have a credit card for just that scenario? I don't like to have a lot of ba...

A_B

Why didn't they just write you a check then and there?

You didn't miss it. She doesn't know. Which makes all this a bit harder for sure.

Def hit up Loyola if you all are going to be at Hopkins. Almost right next door to each other. If you want a small liberal arts feel in a big city, there is a school right next to Loyola - Notre Dame of Maryland Universtiy - look that up as well and see if worth your time... another small liberal a...

And I guess if you want to go a bit farther south, you can check out the Triangle schools. Duke is beautiful and in Durham, which has a downtown and is roughly Richmond-sized. Carolina has a great campus too and has the nice feel of a college town while being pretty close to Durham. And obviously d...

We have an official scheduled tour and info session on Nov 12 at JHU. Want to do at least one more official, then may try to do a swing through self-tour somehwere else.

It would just invite a mid-stadium plane crash or a hurricane or something.

Lake effect hurricanes are the worst.

Richmond was a gorgeous campus but is Richmond itself a real "big city"? Looks like it is about same size as Lexington. She doesn't have to have a metropolis, I don't think just wants to have access to things to do that a school in a very secluded setting might not be able to offer. Defin...

OK. I didn't know that, but she has researched that one, so I dunno. This is all very preliminary!

It's that time in the barrel for old A_B and his oldest. One of the things I've learned fairly early on is that those tuition numbers listed on US News and World reports rankings is not a true cost, back to a lot of schools making it easier financially with grants and whatnot. basically it boils dow...

Ugly as sin, no doubt.

But yes, he had a very nice shiner last weekend.
That thing was beyond shiner.

That was from many moons ago I think. Just illustrating why his wife may not have wanted him to play soccer so close to the wedding date.

That seems terrible.

I get absentee voting but early voting seems weird.

Man. As exciting of a 1-0 as you can get. Fun series.

Well I guess thats something

K-Schwarb gonna hit a big dong to win it.

Don't worry I text trolled sabo about this.

Schwarber sighting!

I'll deal with people coming in and out to not have to be in the middle of a section. I could go either way. But I'd absolutely rather be on an aisle or in the middle and not between. My bladder sucks as I get older but should be able to hold it for the end of a period. I should have said I definit...

Napoli not a fan of the strike zone. In a regular season game he'd have argued more. But he pitches are close.

On your ballsak.

Schwarber looks like he is set for just pinch hit duty. Sucks for such a heartwarming story.

I think it would be fun to watch a game with Magary.

I agree with that but I also liked the Simmons Article

I'm not disputing Schwarber coming back to play isn't a good story, but JFC do they have to refresh that talk every time he's shown on camera? Of course they do. It's still grating as hell. Another consequence of these extra-long games. An extra hour or more of air time these guys have to fill. Yea...

A_B

Yeah, but it's a great story. Like super great. Did you even remember that he hit one to the moon last year? Glad they talked about that. I had almost forgotten. Really cool, super inspiring story. About Schwarber.

A_B

Yeah, Sabo, I think it's something worth talking about with Schwarber. You do know the guy only played like 3 games all year before coming back and being an important part of the team, right?
