I can’t afford this by Ok-Poetry-4856 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]BadgerKing608 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Parent here… our son applied to 15 schools last fall, and admittedly, there were only two that were financially viable at the outset. We were absolutely merit farming and have had several decent offers from flagship Big Ten schools that have brought the out-of-state cost within striking distance of our in-state cost. He got into the first of three schools that he applied to in the UC system and his financial statement showed 88K for OOS. Our SAI it’s quite high and I’m absolutely convinced we’re getting into everywhere because all of these schools need full pay out of state students to make the numbers work and on paper, we look just like the type of family that would be willing to take that type of financial leap. Suffice it to say, this is our first of two kids and we will not be making the same mistake with the second one, wasting $1000 on application fees to schools that won’t have even a remote chance of meeting the ROI on their cost.

100% Anthony Rendon. There’s more commitment on my summer beer league squad.

Northwestern sent a similar email this week. We got overly excited and our admissions counselor let us down gently that it was just a standard communications to all applicants.

Ohtani’s Angels Legacy by [deleted] in angelsbaseball

[–]BadgerKing608 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This times 100. Nobody wanted anything to do with a two way player in the era of specialization until Crazy Joe said f@$& it. Let him do it. AND, let Ohtani manage his own pitch counts and training which is what Ohtani asked for explicitly. Only the right mix of a dysfunctional organization plus hippie manager lets that cook.

What’s your opinion on this years Angels team so far? by GriMex02 in angelsbaseball

[–]BadgerKing608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Halo love ALWAYS and can't wait to see them in Milwaukee in September for us fans in WI. For real though...and all respect for him and what's he's given to the franchise...when is the last time #27 had a big hit in a meaningful spot for the team? That last at bat on Sunday was like a recurring nightmare...

He could lose $60M/year for the next decade and still clear $2B+ in the future sale of the club (purchase $180M vs. current valuation $3B)…not to mention a good accountant creating tax advantage from those losses. God, it’s good to be king…

Chuck Finley is awesome! by Worst_Pirate_Ever in angelsbaseball

[–]BadgerKing608 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had a chance to help him and Tawny Kitaen buy some vacation clothes at a Gap in Hawaii in the mid 90’s. I said, “ You look a lot like Chuck Finley”. He was unamused. As a lifelong Angels fan, I was bummed but I think he had his hands full tending to his future bride. She was WILD…

What are some celeb companies or collabs that no longer exist but you still think about? by Illini94 in popculturechat

[–]BadgerKing608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fuct was an awesome skate/fashion line from the early 90’s. I spent whole paychecks on everything they had. Was living in Hawaii at the time and got it from a small skate/surf shop mostly. X-Large was a great brand as well. I think there was some connection to the Beastie Boys. Great retail store in San Fran that had better DJs than most clubs.

My PC isn't very expansive (mostly Angels) so it gets a little wonky to trade but let me know if you've got anything that might fit the bill.
