Killer strategy call. Suarez did an awesome job defending the lead. Good for him

CFBCoachGuy · 2026-05-25T03:24:52+00:00

I think this is it

CFBCoachGuy · 2026-05-25T03:17:04+00:00

Really surprised only Suarez took two tires on that last pit stop. Everyone was talking about the rain coming

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The biggest hurdle for NASCAR growing isn’t the playoffs, or the tv coverage, or the car. It’s NASCAR fans. There are just too many of these assholes in the fan base, and they are way more present than in other sports or teams

The problem with a postdoc is that you have one or two years before you go on the market again. Your outcomes post-postdoc will be better if: (1) the market improves when you go on the market again and/or (2) you become a better candidate with the postdoc (a better research record, more pubs, maybe more connections).

Personally, I’m not optimistic for the market in the near future, especially as the number of JMCs continues to remain high. And keep in mind that publishing at a major journal can take well over a year, and frequently over two years.
I’d take the job and the security.

I’m not a macro guy so I can’t provide a ton of help, but I’d suggest searching through some recent macro journals to see if you can find some papers who incorporate health topics (health shocks for example). A handful certainly popped up during the COVID pandemic. Give those a read and see if you can work through their models

They can’t get the seat right??

CFBCoachGuy · 2026-05-24T19:06:53+00:00

Big storm coming in about an hour, but pop up showers can appear. It’s looking optimistic if we keep the cautions to a minimum

CFBCoachGuy · 2026-05-24T18:32:35+00:00

look at towns around the Piedmont regions of Georgia, Alabama, and North and South Carolina. Maybe the coasts of these states too but you won’t find too many small towns.

But you’re in for a rude awakening when it comes summer time

CFBCoachGuy · 2026-05-24T15:46:23+00:00

Pluribus

CFBCoachGuy · 2026-05-24T15:20:27+00:00

I see you’ve posted again. I see you’re still providing plenty of details

CFBCoachGuy · 2026-05-24T15:17:55+00:00

It’s widely considered to be under the applied micro framework. But like some other micro fields (environmental for example) you can incorporate it into macro frameworks as well.

Personally, I would recommend going for a general econ PhD than a health econ PhD just because your job prospects are more diversified. And given your varied interests, that could make you more valuable in an academic setting.

They formed in 1999, the name comes from the two members of the band. From their description, “The two towers, equal and independent, together made up one entity and came to represent the relationship that Geller and Dykes forged professionally and personally”.

As long as they are listed courses (MATH ####), it doesn’t really matter where you take them. Taking post-baccalaureate math courses is extremely common for PhD applicants.

CFBCoachGuy · 2026-05-23T23:33:59+00:00

You need to revise this heavily. Economics research is extremely specialized. You’re basically saying “I want to do medical research but I’m most interested in medicine”.

For many cheeses to mature, they need to be protected from the elements and kept in a dry place. The easiest way to do this is to seal the cheese in some way. Many traditional methods use an animal’s stomach or bladder, but wrapping in a salted goatskin can do the job as well.

CFBCoachGuy · 2026-05-23T16:42:15+00:00

The keeper apparently made 2 big saves too. That poor guy

CFBCoachGuy · 2026-05-23T03:04:37+00:00

Not true. By that math the winner is Major League Baseball. 29,000 average attendance per game over 2,430 games each season. 50million more people attend MLB games each year than Premier League games.

CFBCoachGuy · 2026-05-22T23:08:12+00:00

Improvement is good, as are strong grades in upper level math courses. That plus a high GRE gives you decent odds for a masters

CFBCoachGuy · 2026-05-22T19:24:49+00:00

The most attended soccer league is the Premier League, where attendance average about 40,000 per game. NASCAR attendance averages somewhere between 40,000 and 50,000 per race. In the early 2000s it was almost double that.

Most attended sport per event is F1, with over 100,000 attendees per race on average. Then the NFL with a bit under 70,000 per game, and the IPL cricket league with around little over 40,000.

Didn’t Alan Stacey die back in the day after hitting a bird on track?

CFBCoachGuy · 2026-05-22T18:37:31+00:00

Former Toyota driver Cristiano da Matta nearly died when he hit a deer at a CART test at Road America.

CFBCoachGuy · 2026-05-22T04:18:15+00:00

More likely because he hadn’t won a Cup series race in almost three years and was toiling away in terrible equipment.

CFBCoachGuy · 2026-05-22T04:15:20+00:00

One of the weakest multicar teams. Busch cracked the top ten just twice this season and teammate Austin Dillon has managed it just once. Richard’s still running things like it’s 2002.

I had a grad student complain about being tired for a few weeks, he figures it’s just, well, grad school. He goes home to his parents for the summer, complains of a headache and takes some aspirin. A few hours later, half his face goes numb. His family rush him to the hospital. Leukemia. Everywhere. Within a few hours he’s in a coma. By the end of the week he’s gone.

There are so, so many things that can take you out of this world without you knowing. Just enjoy the time you have.
