    Bracketology 2024

    This is from The Athletic's most recent bracket projection this morning. I feel like this would be the monkey's paw version of getting to play in Omaha.

    Friday OT - Get A Job

    I have lot of possibilities for this. I'm in engineering and am frequently involved in our group's intern interviews. I've had candidates: - Take over the interview and ask themselves questions so we couldn't talk. - Completely freeze up and not answer any questions even when we tried to lead...

    Engineering Degree

    I'm the poster child for good AP and ACT scores not translating to a good GPA in college. I skated by in high school without having to study much, but that didn't work in college. Like I mentioned before I nearly had to drop out because I didn't know how to manage my time. Once I realized I...

    Engineering Degree

    I'm an engineer at an electric utility company. I'd say the 101 course played a part in getting me to talk to the advisors and professors that helped cement the decision for me. It's been over 15 years, but I think I remember picking it because I saw it as a career where I'd be doing something...

    Engineering Degree

    I was also undecided engineering and found the 101 course to be very helpful. I eventually settled on Electrical Engineering with a focus in power and it wasn't something I would have even remotely considered coming out of high school.

    I'm not buying this one. The guy who broke the news (and who PFF is citing) is a radio host in Tampa with a few thousand Twitter followers. Nobody else is reporting it.

    Coolest athlete photo: Iowa State Edition

    There are some great choices in here, but how do I get 6 pages in without seeing this one?

    Just tested positive for the COVID...

    Had it in the middle of November and it knocked me out for 3 days. Didn't get any of the respiratory issues, but had a high-grade fever, aches, pains, chills, loss of appetite, and a constant splitting headache. For those 3 days I was completely incapacitated. It took about a week for me to...

    How do think it will turn out in the B12?

    I think KSU or WVU. I didn't break out every game.

    How do think it will turn out in the B12?

    Not bad. I'd make a couple tweaks. 1. Oklahoma 7-2 (10-2) - Big 12 champs, but no CFP 2. Iowa State 6-3 (9-3) - A poorly officiated 3rd conf. loss, but in the Big 12 champ game 3. Texas 6-3 (8-4) - Tom Herman is fired 4. Oklahoma State 5-4 (8-4) - About where they're expected 5. TCU 5-4 (8-4) -...

    Monday OT #2 - A Grower, Not a Shower

    I feel like the ultimate answer to this question is Zoolander. I didn't care for it the first time I saw it, but it seemed to get a little better every time I would come across it. I know several people who've said the same thing about it.
