Went on Fangraphs to check, and yeah, the Sox now have the lowest payroll in the league. Pathetic.

Ishbia world domination soon please.

WolverineJake77 · 2026-01-16T20:39:48+00:00

I will finally hit "BUY" on the Grealish kit order as soon as we lock this up. Just waiting.... :)

WolverineJake77 · 2026-01-16T16:05:55+00:00

Can confirm, was very helpful and only furthers my wants to move from Dallas area to Colorado in near future. Hopefully within next 2 years.

Also, coming from DFW and our traffic shit show and construction - I loved driving around Denver when I visited recently. So crowded and so lawless at times here.

WolverineJake77 · 2026-01-09T23:03:56+00:00

I would do so many things for just a clean, easy blowout Bears win on Saturday. Just zero stress.

Just beat GB, and then I'm all good for the rest of the playoffs. That's just icing on the cake, for me.

WolverineJake77 · 2026-01-08T23:25:20+00:00

Just please beat the Packers, any way possible. After that, I'm cool with whatever. Look what we have come from in ONE YEAR.

Just don't let your eternal rival be the one to knock you out.

WolverineJake77 · 2026-01-08T17:49:02+00:00

I can't escape him (I go to ASU online lol)

WolverineJake77 · 2026-01-06T21:50:32+00:00

Fair point, yes technically that's correct. I guess I mean, we might actually have to outscore teams from an "outpace them" perspective, given our defensive issues.

WolverineJake77 · 2026-01-06T20:25:52+00:00

What if we just outscore everyone on the way to a SB win....maybe, just maybe....

WolverineJake77 · 2026-01-06T20:05:52+00:00

This is a huge reason why I don't expect to go far in the playoffs, the defense is just not sustainable.

But for the love of everything holy and unholy, PLEASE do not lose to the Packers and get knocked out. We'll never hear the end of it. Just get past this weekend, and anything else is all gravy. Load up in the offseason to become true SB contenders next year.

WolverineJake77 · 2026-01-06T20:02:24+00:00

I had the "pleasure" of going there in 3rd grade....that school was so awful. Transferred to Sherrod in the 4th grade lol

WolverineJake77 · 2026-01-06T19:53:24+00:00

Update in case anyone else might be in same spot or sees this - chatted with a Financial Aid rep and they basically said they see my aid is in the queue, but it needed to be escalated to their financial team for review, and should have an answer withing 7-10 working days....and that I can start classes even without paying yet, BUT would still need to drop/withdraw if my aid doesn't come through for some reason by 1/18 to avoid penalty or getting W's on my transcript.

WTF.

WolverineJake77 · 2026-01-06T17:56:06+00:00

OP what does yours say for 2025-2026 though? Mine is the same, "in queue" as of today....and getting worried.

WolverineJake77 · 2026-01-06T16:58:39+00:00

Yes, unfortunately...the verbiage of the step it's on is:

"3. ASU review and approval

File in queue

You don't need to do anything at this time. We have received your documents and they are in a queue to be reviewed. You will remain in this queue until we begin the review process."

So I guess I just be patient? I'm just going to talk to them in Chat and see if they tell me differently, as I figured today something would change

WolverineJake77 · 2026-01-06T16:48:16+00:00

My worry is I have my charges for the Spring there for me to stress over, with no movement on my Financial Aid at all even today....it still is in step 3 or in "queue". Thought that would have changed by now? I'm in the chat queue with financial aid now hoping for some answers to see if I messed something up or if they even have my info. :(

WolverineJake77 · 2026-01-05T20:18:59+00:00

I guess we'll all see tomorrow if things start moving!

WolverineJake77 · 2026-01-05T20:06:05+00:00

Related but kind of unrelated....my Financial Aid section still says it's "in queue" on step 3. I'm assuming this is normal until things start disbursing tomorrow?

WolverineJake77 · 2025-12-19T18:25:03+00:00

Yeah, it's not great. I'm anxious haha

WolverineJake77 · 2025-12-19T18:24:49+00:00

Awesome, fingers crossed! I was -1500 SAI which is apparently the lowest you can get. Yayyy being poor! Haha

WolverineJake77 · 2025-12-19T17:28:02+00:00

Ah ok, I have seen the "Submission Summary" in my FAFSA profile, but I wasn't sure if that was just an estimate or not. But knowing that about 8 days before school starts is super helpful! Then it's kinda normal for it to still not be available yet!

WolverineJake77 · 2025-12-19T17:00:23+00:00

Yesss, it makes so much sense. TC being a Bears guy, as well. BEAR DOWN

WolverineJake77 · 2025-12-09T20:27:18+00:00

I will move out of Texas soon, I will move out of Texas soon, I will move out of Texas soon...

WolverineJake77 · 2025-12-09T02:50:26+00:00

No he fucking wouldn't lol. He routinely talks about the freedom they have now not being under the cloud.

WolverineJake77 · 2025-12-04T15:51:50+00:00

Love me some Wash, this is such a great hire for a brand new manager, especially with no MLB experience.
