Thus it's actually a multifaceted boon, IMO, as every person in the Chicagoland area will buy the mag because of Wood, hopefully discover the article on us, while Wood and the Cubs will suffer the SI jinx.

DrTorch Wrote:I'll buy that. My point was that in each case you're spending money on upgrading your facilities to provide incentive to attract better (or more) students. I'm not about to attempt to justify athletic facilities being worth more than academic facilities (economically or morally). :)HuskieDan Wrote:What is the real difference between this and wanting to have the best possible chemistry labs in order to attract better science students?

Could be that schools like 'Bama and LSU really have no academic purpose, so they're obligated to spend on athletics.

It is supposed to have Kerry Wood on the cover(which is why Flying Corn, a White Sox fan, was really happy to see it). Remember, the cover is the jinx and we aren't on the cover just about 4 pages of story/pics inside. I am a bit nervous about the game though, of course our team tends to do that to you when the every game comes down to the final seconds every week. See you in Mt. Pleasant!
