  1. Jim Tressel and his wife sold their Upper Arlington, Columbus house earlier this year. It was their primary residence. Not sure if they are currently renting or bought another house or where either might be.

    Edit. Derp. Don't university president's usually live in the President's House on campus? Or am I out of date in thinking so these days?

     

    Article is also from 2012...

  2. I went to UNL for 4 and half years and had student tickets each of the 5 seasons I was there. I'll be a grad student for this upcoming season and will most likely not be getting tickets mainly because they wouldn't let me buy tickets until last Sunday even though I've been registered since July and all that's left now is south stadium (I'll probably still go to a few games in east). But I think one reason you're seeing empty rows is that they're making it a pain in the ass to sell student tickets. I'd be interested to see the number of unused student tickets each year. My first two or three years, students got printed tickets they could sell at any time. Now with them all being on your student ID, you have to sell 3 hours prior to game time and it's all online so you have to meet the person, get out a computer, transfer the ticket, and confirm, instead of just making a quick exchange. When tickets were printed, people would be out tailgating, decide they didn't want to go or were too drunk, and just sell/give their ticket to someone else who wanted to go, with non-students being able to validate. Now that is not an option and you can't sell at all to non-students. I'm curious to see how many of the "guest" tickets are sold and if the money made off of those is greater than the amount made off of validated student tickets in past years. It seems like the university's plan to take away student's profits may actually hurt their own (unless they start selling leftover student tickets to the general public for face value).

  3. Weather.gov says 97.

     

    FWIW, I study meteorology and prefer weather.gov. Local offices (Valley, NE here) create the forecasts as opposed to national companies. Sidenote: Accuweather has a 45 day outlook...my unborn child could produce a similar product that has almost as much potential to be correct.

  4. I probably butchered a few names in that write-up. Typing fast and I don't know the names of all the recruits, so apologies.

     

    What happened with the pole? I was typing, not looking at Bo. Did he have a bump on his head or something? I missed all of that.

     

    Indeed. Wondering what the pole looks like...

  5. Negative Nancys doing thier thing. Castille is having a decent time at Montana, heard he got voted team Captain this year, so good for him. Funny he transfered for the same reason, the offense didnt suit his running style and now we are recruiting big backs like him again...weird.

     

    You're thinking of Dontrayevous Robinson. Castille got kicked off the team.

  6. The only downside is they have moved away from the original plan to have close proximity standing students on 3 sides.................

     

    This is what smells fishy to me. Why is it a benefit to students to have two sides instead of three? If you really want it intimidating, the students sit at the bottom of all four sides. Instead it sounds like they are opting for the big boosters to get the NBA feel of having the prime front court seats opposite of the benches. The article is nothing but window dressing on how they are covering up that they are moving student seating to a lesser location.

     

    Just like when a local TV station interviewed one student when they moved the football student section last time. She said how the students would have a much better view being up in the southeast corner than being directly behind the south endzone. Seriously. And they played it off like her opinion represented that of the entire student body.
