    Moving Day

    Just ick. Someone helping you move in, has an agenda though.

    I think it happened at Duke many years ago, but at least the agenda was for an on-campus student group. I don't think I would care very much for a person who, upon moving in to college, was known to be a corporate shill. How does "this friendship sponsored by Abercrombie & Fitch" sound? Or I can see, a couple weeks later,

    "Hey Will, can you help me with some of my problem sets?"

    "Sure, Corey, but first let me tell you about the exciting Fall into Autumn sale going on now through Sunday at Target! Choose from over 30 brand names of jeans, hoodies, and outerwear! ... "

    Still, it's good to see they felt the need to mention the "Prussian blue" folks up the road

    PS, I wish these sunglasses were a darker shade of blue, too.

    Not so great when the first Google entry for Prussian Blue is a Wikipedia entry which begins:

    "Prussian Blue was a white nationalist pop pre-teen duo formed in early 2003 ..."

    Yikes! Not an accidental choice of words, methinks.

    So UNC has students paid by AE and others, while Vandy has its head football coach pitching in. Hmmmm

    That's Vandy 1, UNC 0

    A couple of summers ago I moved DD into that very (or a twin) Vandy dorm for a summer program. In a heckuva lot better condition than Jarvis or Alspaugh, as I recall, but still spartan until you make it your own.

    Coach seems like a nice guy ... and there was an article on Vandy football in this week's SI. They note that of 12 SEC schools, 11 have had major violations - I think in the last 10 years. Vandy is the 12th school. Wish it was about us and that we were 2-0.
