I must be the black sheep coms alum. I live right here and I never get asked to speak any more. I guess because I don't have a masters. :lol:

My understanding is that it will be a panel discussion from a wide range of COMS alumni and their experiences and what it takes to work in different fields. From what I understand, most of the panelists won't be as old as this particular hag. But there will be grads from a number of different communications fields.

Forgive for asking, but how big is Room 1105? That should give everyone an idea what they are expecting.

1105 is about half the size of one of those 1113/1114 classrooms...so 200, maybe 250

I have updated the calendar with a few more events that have come down the pike for this weekend.

Anybody else coming in from out of town?

For those of you planning to see Crazy For You this weekend, they have sold out EVERY show thus far so you better have your tickets now because tehy are probably gonna sell out this entire weekend.

Sly, the hoops team scrimmage at 10:30 AM in the Vines needs to be added to the schedule. Great work on this too. I am looking forward to hanging with you this weekend!

Consider it done. Its going to be great to catch up with a bunch of folks and meet all of the posters who I haven't seen in person quite yet.

You may be slightly less popular this weekend than our boy Medic is when he comes into town.

I live in Lynchburg and normally go to these, but of course I'm working all weekend this year. :(

I haven't made it to a single football game this season.

Weather.com is calling for a 50% chance of showers. :( I know we need rain, just not on Saturday.

So what's the potential ff.com Saturday schedule look like?

I think it's

8am Tailgate
10am Bball scrimmage
Back to the tailgate
1pm Football game
5pm Alumni dinner

I'm sure there's stuff in between that I'm missing.

Saturday night there are a ton of options:

6pm - Womens Soccer vs. CCU
7pm - Volleyball vs. Winthrop (Biggest vball matchup on campus I can remember in years)
7pm - DI Hockey vs. Stony Brook (with DII matchup to follow)

I know it sounds lame, but when you have a wife along for the ride I am likely going to have to work in the parade. That would've been no problem prior to RMc opening up the scrimmage to the public. Fortunately its not a long walk.

Crap, there's an English teacher around. I wasn't sure so I put the question mark. Thanks for the update.

I'm definitely going to have to check out the volleyball game as well as they've been playing.

Band practice may be inside Friday so I'll try to slip over and catch the end of the panel discussion and get a chance to meet a fine example of the broadcast professionals LU churns out
