    Me too. 

    I disagree and think the basketball team has a better chance. I say this primarily because of Bryan Gregory and the number of players we have returning. The basketball team can be as strong as any in the conference talent-wise, and coaching-wise, next season. I think that is less likely the case for the football team. 

    Wouldn't put my money on either to happen, though...

    This is what became of Mike Ford...

    He's hanging drywall when he's not boxing. Seems pretty real to me (I'm in the construction industry). I have 20+ guys working for me between the two warehouses I oversee making $50K (the helpers) to $100K (lead installers) a year installing spray foam insulation on a daily basis (which goes hand in hand with drywall). It's blue collar work, but it pays more than most teachers with a four-year degree that aren't teaching at a university level. Is it honest, back breaking work? Yes. Do they get three months off a year? No. Having worked in both professions (worked at a charter school in AZ), I'd rather hang sheet rock or install insulation than teach today's kids once you consider the parents you have to deal with (unless I'm a professor at the college level like yourself - totally different IMO).

    Not knocking you NewEnglandBull, however listening to any of Mike Ford's interviews while he was in college pretty much indicated he was in college to play football - nothing else. How he even got into USF or Colorado blows my mind (but IMO colleges are overpriced and take anyone and everyone as long as they can get a student loan). I run across guys like Mike Ford everyday in the field. They aren't intelligent enough to get through school, however they make great tradesman when they apply themselves because they tend to have a solid work ethic.

    Great for Mike getting a KO. Would love to see him make it in boxing, get a payday, and then invest it wisely to ease his future financially. Not sure if that is in the cards, but will always hope for the best for fellow Bulls.  

    Good to hear and glad to hear he's doing well. Pretty cool for him that he gets to box on the side as well, great sport.

    Like I said, I've stayed there on two occasions.  An old-time, grand hotel.  Lots of pictures of stars in the hallway who played the Empire Room there.   Fabulous atrium that has been restored (you can check the pictures online).

    It's also near shopping on State St. and the Magnificent Mile, and is on Monroe, with the Majestic Theater just a block or so away.  We saw "Book of Mormon" there last time we stayed there.  It might be worth a look to see if there may be a show you'd be interested in.

    I walked most everywhere from there, from the Chicago Art Institute to restaurants on Michigan.  The Art Institute has some of the most amazing originals that I had only seen in art books: Nighthawks, American Gothic, Van Gough's self portrait.... amazing works.

     

    My mind was also blown when i just looked up exactly where Soldier Field was, walking distance from this place. Heeeellllll yeah.
