It's Go Time

Let's GOOOOOOOOO Tigers!!!


Good luck, Tigers! Whoop up on those filthy Badgers!


So later on today, the RIT Tigers make their first ever appearance in the Division I Frozen Four. As much as I wish I could be in Detroit for it, things are a little hectic around here and I already have some other trips planned this year, so I won't be able to make it. Fortunately for me, one of the local establishments is sponsoring a special viewing party for alums...so I'll at least get to be there.

So, safe travels to all who will be heading to Ford Field today, and best of luck to all participants. (Especially the Tigers!)

Watch the game at 5PM (Eastern time) on ESPN2!!!!

So it's a day late...

Raise your hand if your College Hockey Team just made it to the Frozen Four!!! This Sametime Status works a whole lot better if you can see my hand in the air.


WOOHOO! Go Jeremy's College Team!


Yes! For the first time in the college's history, the team will be competing in the NCAA Division 1 Frozen Four. It's gonna be a thing!


And an exceedingly rare attempt at a Triple Crown.


Indeed. Based on research I did in my head a few seconds ago, not many schools have a Division III and a Division II national championship under their belts. My college has both, and now is a mere two games against world-class competition away from earning a Division I national championship. Sure, it's a tall order, but not many people expected them to get this far, so why not?


Anything can happen in playoffs!


Go Hockey Team!!

*sniff* They grow up so fast....

"The purpose of the Meeting Template roll-out meeting is to present the meeting template for use by all meeting holders" - Jeff’s new company


Poor Jeff.


Yeah...first, he has to make a spreadsheet with owners and target dates, now he's in a meeting to learn how to have meetings. I'd like to guess some of the meeting guidelines that were suggested in the roll-out meeting.
  • Be On Time
  • End 5 Minutes Early
  • Create an agenda and have a timekeeper to stick to it
  • Bring a Problem, Bring a Solution
  • No Side Conversations
  • Turn off Cell phones and pagers


How'd I do?


You're asking me?


No.


Alright...so what else is good today?


Well, Tuesday was a big day! My Alma Mater, Rochester Institute of Technology, was selected as one of Campus Squeeze's 20 Ugliest Colleges in the USA! Woohoo! We beat out such prestigious universities as Rutgers and Texas A+M, but falling in at #16 wasn't good enough to take down perennial favourites NC State, Carnegie Mellon, or #1 Drexel.

What's most impressive about RIT making the list is that they only show a picture of the back of one of the dorms. They didn't even include a photo of the 6-story absurdity known as "The Sentinel" which is prominently located right in the front of campus.




Art is very subjective.


I'd like to subject that art back to the landfill it came from.

Lumpy

I AM TEH CAPTAIN OF THE CARPET SHIP!


You can't spell. Also...what?!


Today's status message brought to you by the whimsical webcomic Two Lumps. It's a slightly off-center comic about two anthropomorphic cats. One of whom is slightly taken with taking over the world, the other is a meathead who speaks in the occasional bout of modified Lolcat. They both, however, have a weakness for gooshyfood and "pettins."

In This Particular Case, Snooch discovers vodka, which begins his love of alcohol, which pops up in comics now and again. In fact, the Carpet Ship itself makes another appearance in This more recent comic.


Good. So why is the Blag so late today?


For a couple reasons, actually. First, as stated in the very first post of this Blag, I update it when I darn well choose. Also, I was alerted this morning, incidentally, while writing today's entry, that one of my old college professors was in town today, so a bunch of us grads got together with him for a meeting and lunch.
