Driving's just easier. A 9 hour drive is nothing when there's 3-4 people in the car.

[SuperJon]

It'd be $30 a gas a person with 4 in my car to drive there and back. That's definitely worth driving.

Add to that about $15 a person a night for a room (we can find something for $60 a night, I'm sure) and you're looking at $75 plus food and ticket.

yea, what's crazy is that I am going back to Ohio the next week to watch my Browns play!!!! I haven't been to Ohio in 2 years..

[SuperJon]

That's because it isn't on the way to Atlantic City.

[givemethemic]

O that's wrong...BTW I am going again in July...on my way back from Boston (Red Sox game) I am staying here for the bulk of the summer...The boss will not let me leave that much...boooooo

[bigsmooth]

[TDDance234]

so it will be a long football weekend!

Nothing finer.

[givemethemic]

Smoothie are you going down there with Scottie? You need to talk him into going with us to Ohio!!!

[givemethemic]

Me and Smoothie were talking about this earlier this afternoon and it's about 570 miles from Liberty...which equals about 10 hours when you figure in a gas stop or two and at least 1 meal...Yeah we might be flying after all

[SuperJon]

Two stops: one for gas, one for fast food. Total time: 20 minutes.

My wife has family in the Detroit area. I am thinking of flying that weekend myself. A roadie wouldn't be too bad. It would be a nice change of pace. That $10 from Richmond to Columbus sounds great but you still have a way to go to get to Toledo.

[SuperJon]

I can get 300 miles to the tank on the highway. It won't be a problem at all.


If you can't hold your pee for 4-5 hours at a time, something's wrong with you.

[SuperJon]

I used the bathroom once in the 12 hour drive back from Toronto.

oh - you're done for,

its only a matter of time 'til you're stuffing rags down the front of your pants.

Maybe you do already

[SuperJon]

You thought it was just for looks....



Ok, that was over the line.

yes, but we were all thinking it.

we should start a men's health thread. This has been very cathartic.

[JDUB]

i guess i'll be in depends in a few years, cause i only go about 4 times a day

[SuperJon]

Put it this way, if you're in my car, and you can't hold it, you better have a bottle.

[JDUB]

i am a master pee-holder
sorry, just wanted to use that one

[TDDance234]

This discussion gets more disturbing as it goes on.

Is Thanksgiving a full week next year, too? The reason I ask is b/c, back in the day, LU used to give a 3-day fall break in mid-October but Thanksgiving break was also only 3 days.

full week as well

[Ed Dantes]

Apparently our academic community loves football. Why you ask?

For the first time, LU is giving a fall break next year. That break just so happens to fall on the same week where we have our longest road trip for football.

Classes end October 3rd (Wednesday) and we get Thursday and Friday off. This gives us more time to drive to Toledo and back.

JDub, Bryson, time to start planning since it's official.

This has probably already been posted, but LU used to have a fall break, and they stopped it my junior year (until now, I guess).

The reasons were simple:
1) with Thursday and Friday off, students figured "well, I don't feel like showing up Wednesday afternoon, so I won't". So Wednesday was basically punted, so people usually left on Tuesday. And then they were too tired to show up on Monday... so that's how a two-day break became a week-long one.
2) Students who despised the place the moment they walked on to campus usually dropped out around Fall Break; pushing it back (to coincide with Thanksgiving) means that the students hung around longer, and with more invested in the semester, were more likely to stay around.

[SuperJon]

Most schools have both breaks these days. It helps out a whole lot with students.
