One can easily be explained away as "Like 2/5 dumb college kids sell this pyramid scheme bullshit" and the other really can't unless your entrepreneurship major friend has suddenly decided to sell his signature on a picture of himself for money.

I went to/was a counselor at a summer camp that should by no means have been allowed to keep an alligator on site but totally did, and it was overall a pretty lazy, laid back animal. I mean if you go to the edge of the water where they're lying in wait to catch prey I'm sure they will gently caress you up, but if you come across a gator sunning itself on a golf course or the shoulder of a highway or whatever I think it will almost certainly not gently caress with you unless you get up in its space or otherwise annoy it. Even then it will probably just want you to go away and won't chase you down or anything.

Even if it was not against the rules for the players to do stuff like that, you should still get punished for being even tangentially related to a pyramid scheme

Braxton probably explained to the NCAA infractions committee about the great moneymaking opportunity he's been given, and how they too can be apart of this fabulous and amazing team. After an hour long powerpoint he finally got them to drop the charges in exchange for becoming members of his team.

Texas Tech has the highest CoA in the Big XII. Tennessee has the highest overall, with Auburn not far behind. The top 10 has 4 SEC schools and 4 Big XII schools.

I feel like they really need to standardize this amount. Or at least standardize the inputs so the only difference is the area's cost of living.

Down here, if you are killed by alligator you either astonishingly stupid, or really, really unlucky.

Gators are generally pretty chill, but you don't want to jump into a loving blackwater swamp wearing a suit made of fish filets and hotdogs or anything.

The real problem is that dipshit tourists (I sense a recurring theme in my life) come down here and toss them bags of chips, hamburgers, filet mignon, or whatever else they can drag into their paddle boats. The gators lose their fear of humans and expect a hand out.

I've been swimming, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, diving and floating in SC, Georgia and Florida bodies of water my entire life. All you need is a healthy respect and just the slightest notion of common sense and you'll be fine.

It really has to do with what schools claim as the cost of attendance. So in general they want to keep it lower so it looks better to potential students. Ways to do that are by saying you don't need a laptop since there's a computer lab in the library. It's pretty stupid that that arbitrary number is talked about being used for the stipend. I don't think it will end up going that way though.

In all honesty though I grew up with / around gators and hunted them a fair bit. Pretty dumb overall. In Louisiana you don't see the problems that Florida has with them because American Alligators overall are pretty scared of people. In a natural setting they would only attack a human if you were near a nest / mother. Florida has more of an issue because they developed right into / over their habitats more than we have so you get random gators popping up in golf courses, swimming pools, backyards.

I play rugby with a guy from Australia and after swapping large reptile stories it's apparent that Saltwater crocs are like the worst things in the world and are bigger meaner gator deathmachines.

Looks like 30-16 in 2005 is the closest thing to a stomping there on Iowa State's side. Which happens to be the last year Colorado had a winning record at 7-6, they went to a bowl in '07 but finished 6-7.

I don't know why I'm so fascinated with Colorado's downfall. If they stay bad for another 10 years they'll almost be like Kansas State in reverse.
