I've cropped the picture to protect the innocent, but check out his shirt: In case you can't read it, it says "Go Ahead, Call Our Bluff". Genius. It inspired me to think of a good Pilot Nation thread... what's your favorite Pilot gear? I've accumulated lots over the years, but I think my all-time favorite is probably one in which a burly Wally is kicking a Notre Dame leprechaun's decapitated ...

We were thinking of having a design contest with the members, with the winner getting not only the satisfaction of their work, but also a free shirt, and then selling the shirts *at cost* to members... I would love to design some cool shirts (insert bookstore comment here ) that would also promote this site... The timing seems right with our 2nd birthday behind us and the approach ...

I would highly recommend it. It tells the story of Brian Clough's 44 days as manager of Leeds, who in the 70s were the dominant club in England. Why so short? There's lots of reasons and the movie explains the backstory you need to know if you're not up on English soccer. Clough was a driven and intelligent manager who also had a number of deep flaws and actor Michael Sheen shows us both these sides beautifully. Definitely worth a look.

1) Dr. Asarnow (English)
2) Dr. Houck (Biology)
3) Dr. Butkus (Theology)

Asarnow was such an inspirational speaker, and got me interested in poetry among other things. He also seemed instrumental in getting resident writers/poets to the campus. Houck was just warm, sweet, and knowledgable. Butkus got me so interested in world religions that I got a master's degree in pastoral ministry.

Also, good news on the Commons... they are going forward with the expansion.

I'm not too picky. I am very intrigued by both of these beers. I have heard a lot about them on this forum and read about it on ratebeer and am ready to do some sampling of my own. The wonderful beer store we have out here does not carry any products from Russian River Brewing and I am going to be in Portland next weekend. I know that Geez posted a list a while back and I found on their website a list of store where this beer can be found. But I want to know from people who actually ...

Anyhoo, I was reading the article about Trevor Ariza and apparently he works out with Tony Bland in the offseason. Which begs the question, does he wear NBA socks??

Maybe someone can pass along a link to the story. She was clearly an exceptional professor who touched a lot of lives. She could instill a passion for so many subjects in her students like Marine Biology, and she was genuinely understanding. I really enjoyed her class, and she will be missed. Prayers for her family, and the UP community and science-related majors. Rest ...
