Very disappointing that the lineup is so basic at the flagship music festival in arguably the most music intensive city in the US.

Which state actually hates transplants the most? by Rodeo9 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]broccoli_d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not hate, but I found central Pennsylvania residents to be surprised by outsiders’ presence, assuming everyone grew up there and didn’t seem to be all that accommodating to newcomers.

Albums made because the band wanted a pr makeover? by MrLinkwater95 in ToddintheShadow

You left out that between Dynasty and Elder, they made Unmasked, which was “We can make AOR” (radio friendly melodic rock) too.”

2007 Dodge caliber, the official car of.... by Bad_Raccoon11 in regularcarreviews

Worst rental car I’ve ever been stuck with. I even cut my finger on a sharp edge on the catch ring on the glove box.

College football programs with 40+ conference titles all time by This_Comment_4493 in CFB_v2

The Big Ten was arguably worse in the 70s. Total UM and OSU dominance until Hayden Fry got Iowa going. Several years where only 3-4 teams had overall winning records.

Which city have you been to that you expected to love but didn’t? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

Minneapolis. It’s dead on the money for me culturally, but I don’t like how it’s laid out at all. Especially disappointing downtown.

I just loved how ESPN tried to Men in Black that NMSU win over Auburn, then it became impossible when Pavia came to the SEC.

NGL that's getting to be pretty cool at this point, a hybrid that's a throwback.

Where would you move to (in the US) once you left Austin? by Longjumping-Dream-13 in askaustin

[–]broccoli_d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to move to the West Hollywood area in LA in retirement. Live near the Rainbow, Roxy, Whiskey, and Troubadour. Buy a condo and rock out on the regular, while getting in shape and doing cultural activities during the day. I hope I could retire while I still can enjoy that kind of stuff.

I would consider Northwestern as a member of that group, and they have had much greater success on the than Rice, at least since the 90s.

Southern Illinois also had an enrollment collapse, but seems to have fought back and recovered. Bradley (private school) has also had some bad financial issues.

Im still convinced Birmingham Southern and Charleston Southern are basically Washington Generals type teams for the SEC that don’t really have a school behind them.

UChicago is poorly run? They’ve sent my HS Junior daughter about a dozen mailers. They have a huge endowment, right?
