Bull-by-Marriage

A few friends and I are taking the day off and heading up to MacDinton's to watch the first 2 games of Euro 2012. Poland vs Greece at 12:00 and Russia vs Czech Republic at 2:00. Then of course go to the USA match. Risking an overdose of international soccer.

For those of you that care, a reminder that The USMNT play this Friday against Antigua-Barbuda at 7:00. Tickets can be purchased at: http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/0D004856EEF19AE5?artistid=821723&majorcatid=10004&minorcatid=11 For those that don't care, good for you.

I am going to redeem. Yes it's Kirby's. Since I'm not an alum, I think that I may ask for a "Master's patch".

I was thinking Cheap Trick Dream Police for link police, much less harsh reference.

The 1983 FSU -vs- UM game was not televised. Of course UM went on the win the MNC, and the tradition was born. Like "skin" and Al Davis said just win baby. They will have to pay attention to us eventually.

I'm stoked, I got my certificate for my Green Jacket today. Which is Kind of whacked because my wife is the Alum.

There should be an exit ramp from the exit ramp. I'm pretty sure if there's another ramp we will have moade a circle.

I still think that ND is in play for the BE, we let them keep all revenue from home games, split all other revenue. NOTHING is out of the real of possibility. I don't know squat about how TV deals work, but I do know how to negotiate with people. Time will tell.

Do tax dollars got to athletics? Simple question, either yes or no. It's your assertion that they do, so prove it.

Didn't the BE kick Temple out? What is to prevent the ACC from telling Clemson and FSU that they are no longer welcome. I know that this won't happen due to money issues (which is what it is always about), but is it possible. Can a conference negotiate with 2 replacement teams behind the scenes then tell two of their members to hit the road?

so one Women's Golf conference title for $43.4M. you sure do have a different definition of success/dollars spent than I do. he didn't come out of pocket one flat dime for the facilties. they would have been built with or without him. Holy crap, BBM!!! Where did you get your crystal ball? I need to go get one of those right now ... That was truly scary. The only explanation I ccan think of is that BBM = B94... Not true at all. I'm married to an accountant so I wouldn't ever used the word fungible when it is abundantly clear that it does not apply. I have many personalities, but B94 isn't one of them. I'm not smart enough to pull that off. your wife is an accountant. not sure how that means you should understand the idea that money is fungible. I guess if your dad was an airline pilot then we should expect that you know how to land a plane. read up on the subject. Fungibility The state of being interchangeable. For example, money has fungibility because there is no difference between one dollar and another dollar. http://financial-dic...ry.com/Fungible http://en.wikipedia....iki/Fungibility Different Source, Different Purpose Another aspect of mental accounting is that people also treat money differently depending on its source. For example, people tend to spend a lot more "found" money, such as tax returns and work bonuses and gifts, compared to a similar amount of money that is normally expected, such as from their paychecks. This represents another instance of how mental accounting can cause illogical use of money. Learn how to turn $1k to $10k with Penny Stocks! Logically speaking, money should be interchangeable, regardless of its origin. Treating money differently because it comes from a different source violates that logical premise. Where the money came from should not be a factor in how much of it you spend - regardless of the money's source, spending it will represent a drop in your overall wealth. Read more: http://www.investope...p#ixzz1wSYv7GPK Avoiding Mental Accounting The key point to consider for mental accounting is that money is fungible; regardless of its origins or intended use, all money is the same. You can cut down on frivolous spending of "found" money, by realizing that "found" money is no different than money that you earned by working. As an extension of money being fungible, realize that saving money in a low- or no-interest account is fruitless if you still have outstanding debt. In most cases, the interest on your debt will erode any interest that you can earn in most savings accounts. While having savings is important, sometimes it makes more sense to forgo your savings in order to pay off debt.

Your basic premise that tax money was being used to pay coaches salaries. If the money was fungible in this instance then it would have to have been paid back therefore making your complete argument moot. Either you used the word wrong, or you are full of...... i understand that you ae not knowledgable when it comes to accounting and the idea that money is fungible. there really is no need to have this discussion again. BTW Bull by Marriage I wouldn't expect anyone who watches cartoons and has some odd obsession with judy genshaft(weird that you would post on a public message board that you notice her tail light is out or that she ignores you at sporting events) to understand the idea that money is fungible. " This is it for me on the subject. I have a B.S. in Finance. I analyze financial statements for a living. I have a far greater understanding of the concept of fungibility of money than a man who is married to an accountant. Nothing has to be paid back. I'm not even sure what you mean by that. If someone uses cash to pay for a couch while they have outstanding credit card debt then they are essentially charging that couch to their credit card(i.e. the cash that could have been used to pay off credit is used to buy the couch: they are interchangeable). If a school takes taxpayer money and pays a coach over $1M then that money is essentially paid by the taxpayers. no matter what imaginary bank account you think it comes from. Like I said read up on the subject in the links provided. Claiming you are knowledgable on a subject because your wife is an accountant(which by the way has little to do with the subject:it's finance related) is like derek jeter's cousin saying he can hit a major league curveball. here is the link again on behavioral finance and the fungibility of money. Key Concept No.2: Mental Accounting Mental accounting refers to the tendency for people to separate their money into separate accounts based on a variety of subjective criteria, like the source of the money and intent for each account. According to the theory, individuals assign different functions to each asset group, which has an often irrational and detrimental effect on their consumption decisions and other behaviors. Although many people use mental accounting, they may not realize how illogical this line of thinking really is. For example, people often have a special "money jar" or fund set aside for a vacation or a new home, while still carrying substantial credit card debt.

If you truly analyze financial statements, why don't you use a piblic information request to analyze USF's statements and prove that tax money is being used to pay coaches salaries? Part of your degree is correct, and it's not the finance part. My wife has a B.A. in Finance AND an Accounting degree. I hope to God that I never have to rely on you to analyze a financial statement.

Bump There are now 35 bowls - 70 teams in the postseason. Ridiculous, but it's all driven by money and the need for content We need a 16 team playoffs, cancel the 8 crappiest bowls, play the games at the higher seed utnil there are 4 teams left, then rotate through Orange, Sugar, Cotton for the last 3 games Rose gets to keep its historical B12/P12 relationship, Fiesta goes back to Outback level. 54 non-playoff teams go to bowls. Not to open old (not really old) wounds, but a 16 team playoff, with higher seed getting home games, may push the need for an OCS. The NFL runs through December, so we would have a tough time scheduling. EDIT: I am 100% in agreement with the 16 team playoff model.

in terms of success/dollars spent I say he's doing a hella great job. Begin bit__ing about $, by a certain poster in...3...2...1 http://www.bizjournals.com/memphis/news/2012/02/08/how-much-does-your-university-spend-on.html

GA, Joe, and Southshore, read winkle's posts as a series of "based on a true story" books. No point in arguing.

Unless someone is in the room when (IF) FSU is talking with The Big12, then they don't know for a fact what's being discussed. Until then it's all speculation. It may very well happen. Currently it's speculation.

I go into every season thinking that this will be our year. All we can ask as fans is that the coaches and the boys give all that they can give. I think that with the talent we have this year, if everyone "buys" in, then it will be our season.

GT would raise the GPA of the Ivy league.

What time is the Clemson BOT meeting?

How much are they going to be? I'm guessing $50-$60.

A quick rule change, a school can only accept x amount of transfers a year. This has been going on for decades. When I was in HS a certain soccer coach at a school that has 4 letters starts with an L and ends with an O, was recruiting kids.

Sometimes that hard to tell.
