In other news, you should all go to SPA CASTLE in Queens. I spent four joyous hours there yesterday. in fact, I think we should consider having a rest day dinner there one day.

Congrads Jim! You must be so proud to count your alma mater #1 party school in America!

Dan – that article brings a tear to my eye. I am just oh so proud of my alma mater. WE ARE… PENN STATE!

I’m pretty sure my school, Georgia Tech, is somewhere around dead last on that list.
I know this has been asked 100 times, but CFE people, what do you do with your stuff while running? I think it’s time to learn how to run finally.
Who’s up for a pig roast tonight?

I don’t want to promise anything until I’ve contacted my friend, but I know someone who lives across the street from Van Cortlandt park (as in, his building faces the park itself). If he’s interested in participating in the drills, we could leave our stuff at his place.
I also don’t know how these things usually work, though, so maybe that’s not necessary? Is this the sort of thing a friend could drop in on, anyway?

Everyone hold their collective horses on this nonsense “my school is lame/boring” whining.
I attended the school that is actually, and has been actually, on the DEAD LAST SPOT on that list for years.
There is no doubt in my mind that the University of Chicago (when I graduated) was the worst school by a long shot.
Let me explain a few things. During the tenure of Robert Maynard Hutchins (1929-1945), the University of Chicago pulled out of the Big Ten (we had numerous Big Ten Championships in football, and an undefeated record against Notre dame), eliminated the varsity football program as well as most other athletics, tried to eliminate fraternities, and railed against “vocational” schools such as engineering or business. He drove most of what is today, still, one of the most difficult academic programs in which to succeed. The university with the second most Nobel Laureates to its credit in the world also had a near 20% dropout/transfer rate amongst entering first year students.
Cited as reasons for the poor social scene were, minimal athletics, unattractive women, cold weather, rigorous academics, dangerous neighborhood, and lack of any material social activities promoted by the University Administration.
We tore down a 100,000+ seat football stadium to build a library, under which they also split the first atom. On my first day of orientation, I was confronted by a bunch of guys in chain mail who were part of the “D&D Club” and some dipwads from Phi Psi who wanted me to come to a rush event entitled “Star Trek: The Next Generation Drinking Game”.
Now things have gotten better, but if we’re applying the standard of “Athlete to Era” then when I attended college there, it may have been the most socially inept and awful place. There’s a reason it was once called “the place fun goes to die.”
Not to rant, but seriously, you folks had it easy.

re: party schools…
A few years ago I took a several week long class at the Copenhagen Business School.
This is what they turn their main school building into for the weekly thursday night happy hours.

(not pictured: me with my mouth hanging open)

To weigh in on the party school spectrum, as an alum of the school that has never quite fit in the Big Ten, I also concur that the only thing that made me feel better about the dismal party scene at Northwestern was knowing that it was worse at University of Chicago.
And luckily, I had plenty of friends that went to Penn State.

we usually bring our stuff w/ us and put near by on a bench and do our WOD near it. a few people bring cars and store others stuff there as well.

7rounds plus 5, 95lbs. Meh.

As Rx’d 8 rounds + 8 C&J
I did not realize the 6am class was going to be suspended Aug 3 until tonight. Is there any consideration to a 6:30am class? I remember hearing some 7am people mention that would work for them.

42# 11 rounds

8+8 rx’d
Not thrilled with that. Bad form wasted a lot of energy in some of the later rounds.
(18,18)

We had a nice 6am group today. How many people must a class consist of to keep it in the rotation? I for one am a 6am guy, for my work schedule has been killing me lately.

8 + 4
