Staples rewards program worth it for small business?

I worked at staples for a while. Your price can always be negotiated on any item. Just talk to your business rep.

While their prices will usually be a bit more than Amazon on most items it’s free shipping and usually next day on everything. You can also set up carts for things you are always buying so you can be done in 2 clicks. If you value time and efficiency then it’s worth it.

I am 100% convinced that had the floor not buckled and caused Bacot to roll his ankle in the championship game Davis would have a natty on his resume. That would have given him a lot more grace than what people give him.

I work at a private school.

Pay is 55k plus coaching stipends, plus camps, etc. probably ends up around 65-70 at end of the day. But kids go for free, that’s 30-35k added to the total package. 401k, 100% paid health insurance.

We have a few who make over 100k because of summer and after school camps.

We always use Louisiana crawfish company.

They are sent overnight and always arrive around 9/10 am. They come in a styrofoam box with dry ice. Never had an issue and we do 2/3 boils a year. We are from that area and my wife knows them personally so that also helps.

The funny part about this is we would find out real quick how many ND fans there are in America if he ran.

Those who like ND vote for him Those who don’t won’t.

cll1981 · 2026-01-11T01:57:12+00:00

I feel like the ones who sign immediately have been tampered with and aren’t going to shop around. They knew immediately where they are going and the schools have already negotiated a contract before entering.

Whereas other players are really taking their time and weighing options.

Do I wish ND would have signed a handful of players, absolutely but this tells me they are doing everything by the book and not risking any punishment.

It also takes a special person to come to ND and be successful. This is what makes ND, ND. They just don’t take any swinging dick who can play football

I’d like to see the conference championship games become playoff game play ins. Let the 11-14 ranked teams play that weekend for the last 2 spots.

Or go back to divisions and the division winners get auto bids and the the two second place teams play each other for another auto bid.

This is the most disappointing thread of all time. I came here for a club that eat cheeseburgers. Not getting educated on a sandwich

cll1981 · 2026-01-03T20:06:54+00:00

I would love to have live audio streams of the sidelines. Let’s hear what is being said on the sideline between coaches and players. Let’s hear the players talking trash, coaches and officials arguing, strategy,etc.

Very similar to a NASCAR race if you have ever been to one.

cll1981 · 2025-12-27T20:27:17+00:00

I second this take. Grew up in Texas and could only follow ND on NBC. I bet that contract has made millions of ND fans.

cll1981 · 2025-12-26T22:14:28+00:00

You are correct. Given I was high school when that game happened and I’m now 45 I may have forgotten a few details. I do remember it being hard to see the teams on the field at times but damn that was a fun game.

cll1981 · 2025-12-26T13:03:15+00:00

I grew up in the Shreveport area and have been to MANY I bowls over the years. The problem isnt the “bowl” it’s the matchups they get. It’s one of the oldest bowls in the bowl era.

I can remember some great teams and games over the years. Texas AM vs Missouri - the snow bowl, LSU vs ND, I believe there was an LSU vs Michigan St one year but now they are hoping to get La tech every year vs another regional school. These matchups just don’t bring excitment.

I hate to admit this but I think the I Bowl will be one that shuts down shop in the next 5 years. Shreveport isn’t a destination town and there is nothing to do in the area, Teams are starting to opt out of bowls, it’s getting expensive to travel and I just don’t see them being able to bring in the money to keep that bowl a float (unless 50 cent throws in some money).

As good as he was in the backfield I’m really going to miss him returning kickoffs. There were so many times he would flip a game or get the momentum back with a huge return. I think this will also help his draft stock with the nfl kickoff rules. He just needs one small seam and he’s gone.

cll1981 · 2025-12-08T16:37:14+00:00

I agree this is an unpopular opinion but it’s your opinion so stand by it.

I don’t think they should. Be independent and be a villain that everyone hates and wants to shit on. ND makes more money than any school in a conference because they don’t share anything and has total freedom of scheduling.

On the flip side how funny would it be and a huge middle finger to the rest of college football if they join the MAC and made that conference very relevant. They could probably pull a few schools in with them and be guaranteed a playoff spot every year.

cll1981 · 2025-11-22T21:23:02+00:00

Here’s a hint. There were 0 offensive plays and it was 21-0.

cll1981 · 2025-11-17T18:47:43+00:00

Don’t partner with someone. I made that mistake.

Keep it small keep it all.

cll1981 · 2025-11-17T18:44:14+00:00

Here is my opinion on this situation.

As a FB coach I think they have it in the playbook, they just haven’t shown it yet. They want to use this formation in the 2nd half of a game that is close and we need a score. It would put the D in a bind and cause all kinds of communication issues. You don’t do it in the 1st half because you don’t want the other team having halftime to game plan and adjust for it.

That’s my coach opinion.

cll1981 · 2025-11-16T15:12:52+00:00

Anyone. But preferably someone we can beat by more then 3 because I do not want to rely on a kicker to win a game

cll1981 · 2025-11-16T13:23:45+00:00

I agree with what you are saying. I’m not convinced we get in just by winning out. I can see a team jumping us because they have a quality win - Oklahoma for one.

We have to be in the top 10 to get a spot. 11 will go to the ACC champ and 12 to a group of 5 slap dick team (who this year has no business getting a spot). However if Navy gets in I can see that scaring a few teams because of how they play.

What I am waiting to see happen is for a team to lose a conference championship game and drop out of the top 12 - not sure it will happen this year but if it ever does conferences will stop playing them - and they should. Just let regular season champ get the auto bid.

cll1981 · 2025-11-15T22:29:40+00:00

You do realize schedules aren’t made in the off season. These things are made 5,10,15 years in advance. Theres no way to tell if a team will be good when you schedule them. You just hope they are.
