So a couple of us (including myself, FrankCohen, and a few other students) were thinking about invading the Farm because we have attachment issues and want to see Jorge, Harper, and the rest of our Bears one more time. We wanted to see if we could get enough people for some sort of group rate down there. Would any of you be interested?

Right now the cheapest seats I see through the Stanford [sic] website are $30 each, and we'd like to see if we could negotiate that down a little bit.

Also, what should we call ourselves?

I'm excited for the projected recruiting class - who wouldn't be? I recently became curious as to how we were going to fit all our new talent into our existing scholarship structure, so I attempted to do the math.

More after the jump.

I'm not actually sure where to ask this because it doesn't seem like Fanpost/shot material, but I don't really see another forum or whatever... so:

Why don't they position cameras such that they look along both goal lines, and another two to look along both sidelines? It would seemingly solve a lot of issues of whether a ball crossed the line in the case of possible TD's, or people stepping out of bounds in the case of possible disputed WR catches and whatnot. There's always the issue of people being in front of the camera, but you have that anyways with the current system of the random camera angle from like 30 yards away. I think it would help a lot more than it would hurt (how many times have you seen a play that is inconclusive, but would be conclusive if you just had a camera watching the goal line plane?). Yeah.

So I was looking back into archives and found Youtube Thursdays. Except it's summer. But Youtube is still there! We can still share videos nobody else will actually watch. So:

I'm not actually sure what the process is for posting DBD's, so if I'm not allowed to do this, just delete this, Master TwistNHook. I'm just really bored of studying for finals and doing research papers. Anyways, first DBD.
