Rutgers is also eligible for the Pinstripe Bowl, so that is another option. That's probably the most likely.

Actually, fun fact: Rutgers has been to Pinstripe 2 times in the past 4 years. Apparently we’re trying to avoid going again. And the projections are pointing towards Dallas or Detroit for the most part. Maybe Fort Worth.

We’ll have to see after we get our asses handed to us by Michigan State…and whatever happens at Maryland.

I dare everyone who reads this post to take a moment and send an email to a teacher that made a difference in your life. It only takes a moment to make someone's day. Just a sentence or two, let that special teacher know how much of an impact they made.

Take the challenge and pass it on! Do it before the opportunity passes. You never know.

Solar energy that doesn’t block the view

A team of researchers at Michigan State University has developed a new type of solar concentrator that when placed over a window creates solar energy while allowing people to actually see through the window. It is called a transparent luminescent solar concentrator and can be used on buildings, cell phones and any other device that has a clear surface. And, according to Richard Lunt of MSU’s College of Engineering, the key word is “transparent.”

The new Drumline movie normalizes band hazing and glorifies sticking it out. This movie is a fantastic example of horrible band culture and leadership that is complacent.

No wonder this stuff still happens in bands when the world views it as "normal."

thinking about ur otps napping is SO IMPORTANT. Does one protectively shush anyone who comes near their sleeping partner. Does one come home to find the other sleeping on the floor under a table or curled in a corner. Does the partner wake them up and move them to some place more comfortable or do they roll their eyes and cover them with a blanket whatever weird place they are. Do their roommates come home to find them both tangled in impossible positions and marvel at how they are somehow asleep. Who gets really emotional the first time they fall asleep together. Who drools on the other one’s chest. Who wakes up with the other’s hair in their nose. these are the necessary questions.

When Nickelodeon, in 2009, told us they wanted us to come back and do another series where we could do whatever we wanted, the first thought we had was: Let’s do a story about the next Avatar. That was the first thought. The second thought was: Let’s make it a girl. And we didn’t just stop there, we wanted everything about Korra, pretty much everything, to be different than Aang, to be opposites. Aang was this peaceful monk, a little trickster who wanted to kinda hide from the problems and not shoulder responsibility. He had to learn to become the hero, and we wanted Korra to be the fighter, to be really a go-getter, she wanted the responsibility, she reveled in it, in her title. But she had to learn to let go of her ego and become a more balanced spiritual being. And so in a lot of ways they had opposite arcs. A lot of things mirror each other in their development, but yeah they were kind of on opposite paths. It was deliberate; it kinda worked out?
