Upon reviewing the refuge events, and taking into account the celebration of our Georgian lord and saviors resurrection; it is only appropriate we recognize their importance. It
appears April 30 will be the best date.
Refuge event the 23rd;
Easter Sunday they 17th; and
The commemoration of the third rendition of the 2019 Masters which takes place April 7-10.
Still a developing situation, but things are moving quickly five months out.
Rookie qb butterfly affect— if he falls one spot and gets drafted by the Ravens he probably has a super bowl ring and is on COVID IR with Mike white.
This guy went to CCD.
When the hell is Wardle getting canned?
I know my jokes are bad but that knife cuts deep.
This season has certainly been an odd one so far, but it’s still early and I really like Wardle.
I think he has enough goodwill with the higher ups to survive it.
Probably an unpopular opinion but snappy fantasy sports team names can stay in that space.
This would be old in 10 minutes for me.
Destined to finish 2nd to us.
@PTM Stop with the slander of my 2001 classmate. /sic
Best Wardle story I got - I think it’s 2000 - Wade’s first year on campus but he is Prop 19 (I think that’s the rule). Anyway, Wade is practice at the Old Gym and Wardle asks him something to the effect “Hey, who are you?” Dwyane responds “The guy they brought in to replace you”.
This is 100000% correct. This isn’t a funny moment but rather a branding exercise. The name that’s chosen should reflect a common goal or position for which the club will stand for or being reflected in. To that note, I think Chicago puns / basic tropes should be avoided. It seems a bit like Deep Dish pizza - something everyone outside of Chicago thinks it is but in reality we maybe eat once or twice a year. Going with something more classic and true to the roots of the group will have staying power.
I really liked Second City Golf Club. Could always steal the something with 606 in it though that doesn’t mean as much to the quasi “Chicago” suburbanites.
The only trope I kind dug in my own brain that I actually don’t love is “Par Tree” Could also do something with Tree Orange Whips.
To my point, the best names will be like strong brands.
As a central Illinois resident like @kevjones, I’m legitimately torn about where to throw my Roost allegiances. From a pure numbers standpoint and as Cardinals fan, I should probably go STL.
On the other hand, I’m closer to most Chicago courses, am a former Chicago resident, all of my non-baseball professional sports allegiances lie with Chicago, and I’m pretty sure I know more of you guis than the STL crew.
@kevjones and @camgriff2 appear to be heading south. @Q-school sounds inclined to head north - not sure about @Janders34 yet. Are we heading towards a central Illinois split? I feel like it would only be fitting considering our congressional map looks like this:
Also, wherever I land - when it comes time for the STL-CHI duel, I would love to host at a certain course in Normal almost exactly at the halfway point that’s literally within sight of I-55. A course that I just played yesterday and I know @EConroy419 and @TCRBrad are familiar with…
A) you don’t have the hairline or the cannon attached to your right shoulder to ever be Brady Quinn. Your best case would be a Tommy Rees and you know it.
B) I’m just devastated at what all this Roosting has done to the Korn Kan Ferry Tour!
Sign me up for Weibring!
This is clearly St. Louis’s fault. They come waltzing in here thinking they’re the best thing since sliced bread. They can’t even make an edible pizza and you trust them to put together a competent team?
The KKFT will survive this, have no doubt.
My freshman year Wardle walks into an entry-level engineering class. He’s looking around in the back, but clearly a distraction.
Professor asks him if he needed anything. Wardle responds “I’m looking for Ryan Amoroso.” Professor checks his list, doesn’t have a Ryan Amoroso, walks up to Wardle to look at his sheet. Professor tells Wardle “Yeah, you’re in the wrong building. This is engineering, we don’t get basketball players taking our classes.”
A guy that spent four years on campus as a student, was in his second year as Director of Basketball Operations and he still couldn’t find the right building.
Class checks, curfews, study halls…looking back, we were being babysat at all times.
There’s got to be something incredibly frightening about your family’s livelihood being tied to the performance of a group of 18-22 year old kids who are living on their own for the first time ever.
The roost is dividing houses and families!
Same here!!!
Oh man, I haven’t played Weibring since ISU golf camp in '98!
