I am a YTTV subscriber and have access to ESPN+. I created an account on ESPN but don't pay for an additional subscription and just use my YTTV creds when prompted by ESPN+...

I think it’s actually 3.99 with the digital coupon. Only allows one purchase at this price (and must spend 25$) but I usually get 2-3 for the freezer by getting new Kroger cards…

My aggy nephew was in the Corpse and just graduated in the spring - he "signed his papers" his sophomore year with the Army and got money from them and a few weeks of Army training during the next 3 years and is actually in whatever they call officer training basic right now. We attended his graduation and there were probably 200 others graduating that were headed off to the various military branches. (Not sure how many were actually in the Corpse and he said it was a smallish % (20%?) of those in the Corpse that actually joined the military.)

Yup - as is Hawaii

My (lack of deer) hog lease is just a few miles directly north of it. Makes decision to get off of it this year seem smarter now... But plans to go out this weekend to start pulling stuff apart in the cooler weather may now wait until after a few rain showers...

Wake makes it easier to see police reports and I haven’t used a radar detector in years. Apple Maps allows for reporting radar locations but it’s not as easy and thus the amount of people reporting locations may not be as large as I think Waze is still being used by a large set of people and the pool of reports is larger in Waze. Not willing to risk it using Apple Maps on road trips…

I wonder what happens to kids actually using AI for their essays. My kid told me today he had a friend at school that used ChatGBT to write his essay(s) "as a joke" but accidently submitted them instead of his own. I'm assuming that he'll not only get caught and rejected from that school but I'm guessing it also gets around to other schools? (and no, it wasn't my kid that did this...)

or Waze...

Or went directly to the dry hole...

Maybe Pioneer employees/contractors to help close the deal?

Note to self - visiting a SEC university on a home game weekend may not be the smartest move... Rooms are impossible to find last minute, campus is packed and with restricted access/parking and it really highlights the "social" aspects of the school rather than the academic side... That being said, visiting The Grove on gameday is an experience on it's own and I can't see how any red-blooded, testosterone-filled boy wouldn't walk away saying this is the place for me... (Sorry, no pics - phone battery was dead...)

Doing a trip to Ole Miss this weekend for a tour.

Captain Obvious here but you are probably already paying something similar in living expenses numbers projected for these items yearly when your kid is a senior in HS (if not more)... Books Board Personal Transportation

Example at Pig yearly cost for instate from their website: Status Hours Tuition Fees Tuition/Fee Subtotal Books Room Board Personal Transportation Total Undergraduate Dep. dorm/off 30 $7,666 $2,082 $9,748 $1,154 $8,366 $4,924 $3,176 $2,640 $30,008 Out of state without discounts: tatus Hours Tuition Fees Tuition/Fee Subtotal Books Room Board Personal Transportation Total Undergraduate Dep. dorm/off 30 $26,690 $2,082 $28,772 $1,154 $8,366 $4,924 $3,176 $2,640 $49,032 But for freshman from surrounding states, you get a out-of-state discount based on grades: Award Amount Eligibility Criteria 90% 3.80 GPA 80% 3.60 GPA 70% 3.20 GPA So if you have a 3.8 GPA, its: Tuition/Fee Subtotal $11,650 3.6 Tuition/Fee Subtotal $13,552 3.2 Tuition/Fee Subtotal $15,454

I do 2-3 times over the offseason just to keep any rodents from setting up shop inside undisturbed for 8 months...

I'd say no when you figure in the total cost per year - tuition, housing, food, travel, other costs (Greek, semester abroad, etc) and I'd plan closer to 150K. We are using a private college counselor and they provide us details on various schools and what you can expect to pay based on degree, grades and financial situation to ID schools that we can get scholarships to ID the total cost of attendance (pay wholesale rather than retail...). Most of the schools on our list hit the 30-40K/year range all in estimates...

From what I understand, the only school that requires a SAT/ACT score is MIT. If you have good ones, submit them but don't if not stellar. Even academic scholarships that used to require high scores to be eligible aren't required to be considered for them. Again, if good, submit but don't if not...

Top 1/4 and 1100 SAT got you accepted in '85.

So... Wife? There is a thread for that...

Lots was the wrong word - the dean of the finance department told me "some" their recent graduates got positions at BlackRock and JP Morgan. In 21-22 class, they had 221 graduates with 41 in finance where 97% either got jobs or are in grad school. Employers of students graduating in finance that year include: Baptist College Ministries BC Shumen BKD CPAs & Advisors BOK Financial Cinemark Theatres Deloitte EY LLPFellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS) Fleming Construction Group George Kaiser Family Foundation Goldman Sachs JPMorgan Chase & Co. Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. Northstar Wealth Management Nuance Communications Verizon Volkswagen Group of America Walmart Corporate Interesting thing Tulsa offers is a 100% guarantee you will find a job within 6 months of graduation. (What that really means is they will pay for your first semester (or year? I don't recall) of grad school if you don't land a job.) https://utulsa.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/2021-2022-FDS-Report.pdf

We've got a list for the kids from a consultant that provided us a top 15 list based on degree (business), grades, ranking, scores and the possibility to get academic scholarships. ASU was on the list but not UofA (or OU since they stopped the out-of-state discounts). (Ol' Miss wasn't either but it's been a personal favorite of one of mine for some reason - probably friends that currently attend there now...)

I've got senior twins and one of them is probably going the same route as yours at AR... Visited the past weekend and we all really like the campus and the vibe and momma loved the downtown shopping area as well. They did say on the tour that this would most likely be the last year of the out-of-state deductions - IIRC, in-state plus 50% for 3.2 GPA, in-state+30% for 3.5 and in-state+10% for 3.7 (or .8?)gpa. If both do go to UA, I'll probably be buying a house for them to share and rent out a room or have a place for us to crash, store my fly fishing gear and visit often... OSU felt like a condensed version of TT but with a few trees and no stench but in the middle of no where. The town of Stillwater seemed tiny and you probably want to roadtrip to anywhere on the weekends. U of Tulsa has an impressive business program that has peaked some interest with one of them but with only 3000 students, it may be a tough sell to actually live there. (Lots of business school kids getting hired at JP Morgan and Blackrock) Mrs. took the boys to visit TCU, SMU, UTA and UTD. TCU was ok "Lots of new money wannabees" , one boys fell in love with SMU (FML). UTD and UTA - saw them and left in the middle of their tour mainly for the comments previously posted especially about the social aspects. ("No way I'm going here...) Arizona State, Ol' Miss, Texas State, UTSA and TT visits still to come. Sucks that the kids attend a HS that hosts the district STEM program (not the school itself but because of the ranking) - a top 10% kid that would be top 6% without all the district kids coming in to attend STEM... Both also have EU passports so applying several business schools in Europe as well - all with English only programs.

Of course not!

We visited the campus on Friday for my kids college visits and I made sure to take a dump both there and on the OSU campus... Same with Pig on Sat...
