Finals are way worse when you're working 50 hour weeks ontop of them. Can't wait for next week to be over.

So I'm heavily considering getting the "weekend only" season ticket package for this year. I would have to get them in the UD. I know full season ticket holders can use their UD tickets to get into the lower deck, but can split season ticket holders do the same? I figured someone here would know the answer pretty quick. Thanks!

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Nov 22, 2010 -> 10:48 PM) Might have a new favorite beer: Newcastle Brown Ale. that has been making a steady climb up my list the past year. That and Killian's Red are my two favorite go to's.

What a cool atmosphere at Wrigley today, thankfully NW's defense didn't really feel like playing.

On the night of my 21st birthday, I was working for the Kane County Cougars and had to work the All-Star game they were hosting. After the game, the league had a party and I had my first few "legal" beers. I didn't end up driving home till about 2 AM, definitely not drunk, but still had a few beers in me. I get to about 3 minutes away from my apartment and see the cops light behind me, I start freaking out. I didn't think I was drunk, but who knows what I would have blown. Cop comes up, asks for my ID, then asks where I'm coming from. LUCKILY, I still had my work polo on and pointed to the all star game patch, explaining why I was working so late. He goes back to his car, runs my stuff, comes back and asks if I live close, I tell him I'm literally like 3 minutes away, he smirks, and tells me to slow it down. Now I didn't get pulled over b/c of swerving or anything, but rather just speeding a little at 2 am. Still enough to scare the crap out of me and I will never ever ever do that again.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, I absolutely loved the diamond logo and thought it should be used MORE.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Nov 13, 2010 -> 02:32 PM) That's not quite accurate this week. We punted, and we held them, it worked, and it wouldn't have sealed the game with a 1st down anyway. We got the ball back anyway at basically the same spot and didn't do s*** with it. Defense blew. yeah, with a 1st and 6. I haven't been this hurt by a football game since the bears superbowl, blah.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Nov 10, 2010 -> 09:16 AM) When I first got my iPhone, and this probably mirrors most peoples experiences (Android users included), the touchscreen was "cool", yet odd, especially for typing. After a few weeks of using it, not only was I able to type much faster and more accurately on the touchscreen, but I realized how cumbersome the physical keyboard on my BB (for work) actually is and how much it slowed me down. I currently have the Blackberry 8800, and an iPhon4, and I can type WAY faster on my iPhone, it's not even a contest. Not only that, but for the first time, I actually don't mind writing longer emails on my phone, where with the Blackberry, I still prefer to keep my responses very short. i just got my droid about a month ago and still trying to adjust to the onscreen keyboard. ( i have the droid 2 w/ the pullout physical keyboard for longer messages). My biggest obstacle is that I want to type every letter w/ my right thumb and my left thumb doesn't want to do anything....haha

someone broke into my car overnight, shattering my window. All to steal an $80 radio. what a pain

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Nov 6, 2010 -> 08:50 PM) I just got around to watching The Walking Dead. Holy s*** is that a good show. the effects are incredible. That one in the park, wow

That was the worst Office episode of the entire series, holy god.

QUOTE (flavum @ Nov 4, 2010 -> 09:06 AM) The first few episodes of Modern Family this season weren't that funny. I think it's been a lot better the last few weeks. last night's was a bit of a dud......besides the fact that the daughter just gets hotter and hotter

Play some f-in Journey..................uribe

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 1, 2010 -> 03:33 PM) I knew the Always Sunny Episode would go over well, it was hilarious from start to finish. I still have a copy of one more un-aired episode I have to watch. When the ostrich showed up, that was the hardest I've laughed watching TV in as long as I can remember.

QUOTE (Cali @ Oct 29, 2010 -> 11:45 AM) Community's Halloween episode was pretty much an instant classic for me. Best Halloween episode of any show iv ever seen. community is one of the most ridiculous shows I've ever come across, but definitely pulls it off.

officially done w/ HIMYM. Lame, tired, and boring now.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 26, 2010 -> 01:27 PM) Just booked a trip to Nashville to see the Hawks play the Preds in January. Not sure what type of hockey atmosphere to expect down there, but never been to Nashville, so should be a good time. except it's going to be January.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Oct 20, 2010 -> 05:57 PM) Haven't watched all season. Agreed with whoever said ever since they left Agrestic it got pretty bad. I haven't heard anyone say anything good about this season either. Not one good thing. I started watching the show in the spring and have just caught up to the current season now. I thought it was just me who thought that once they left the original house, the show went in all sorts of ridiculous directions.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Oct 11, 2010 -> 02:49 PM) I have an awesome recipe for a Texas chili (no beans) that uses chuck, bacon, a dozen jalapenos, chili powder, and honey porter. It's pretty hot, but has a very nice flavor thanks to the beer and some brown sugar at the end. please post, very interested

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 7, 2010 -> 05:25 PM) How do you find those scholarships? After I took the GMAT and applied to the schools of choice, I honestly just said. "I'd love to go to your school, but may need some assistance to make it happen." Based on my GMAT score, they gave me their max scholarship. Roughly 30% off each class. Granted it's not a top-tier school, but a masters is a masters. Grad schools are hurting for money

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Oct 8, 2010 -> 08:54 AM) I don't know why, but I'm loving Outsourced. the eps always have a couple laughs in it.

QUOTE (MuckFinnesota @ Oct 7, 2010 -> 12:05 AM) Does Loyola, Roosevelt or DePaul offer night classes or continuing education classes to get a certificate or Master's degree that would be conducive to your employment or family situation? almost all of them offer night classes, if not JUST offering night classes.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 6, 2010 -> 10:13 PM) My company just revoked it. They pay for pretty much any other degree except an MBA now. Still i think they only gave us 6k a year. Its f***ing expensive. I was looking at UIC, Depaul, etc and I just cannot fathom how to pay for it. I cannot get a student loan with a full time job at my income level and I cannot afford it on my income. If you look at some of the smaller schools in the area, there are scholarships around. I got a pretty good scholarship as well as getting 4k/year from my employer to get my MSA.
