Wish I could stick to sports
I think in my 11 years at Kent (3 degrees) I attended one Wagon Wheel game and ~7 Akron basketball games (one at Akron, which is as you noted a very quick drive, ha).

I don't have a strong opinion on Kent staying FBS in football (though as you pointed out, FCS is logistically awkward), but maybe an awful football team is the price they pay for other sports. That may be a sacrifice I'm willing to make, ha! Of course, selection bias (I chose to go there!) applies.

Both have very competitive Men's BB, Kent finished 5th nationally in 2012 in baseball, and Akron has been ranked first in men's soccer as recently as 2016. Kent Men's Golf and Akron's Men's Track are other examples.

Does Kent uses football to pay for these other competitive teams?

Ours did it at a friend's house and hid it (unsuccessfully) in her shoe. Friend's mom initially thought a doll got a hair cut, but alas. I'm sure we have recital pics somewhere.

I'm on my own rewatch (at the end of S6) and this is on the shortlist for my favorite eps

Let me not lead you back to the path of darkness, but if you ever change your mind.. ^_^

I'm happy to help you out with more of those virus-sites if you're interested (tho that ship may have sailed for this game)

We were introduced to these by some neighbors, my kid loves 'em.

I know winning fixes everything, but it sure looks to me like they're having a lot more fun this year than last

It's the hair, it hides him

Wow, yeah she does

Oh I have no thoughts on the specifics here, I just think it's a good practice to consider the cost of benefits, even if the benefits are unambiguously good (for what it's worth, 1/1000 seems like a pretty good improvement to me, though I do not have any experience working in that area!)

I assume OP was considering opportunity cost - i.e. if we put the resources somewhere else, could we get 1 extra life per 500

Haven't seen that one, but my child went through Sam and Cat, and she played character that sounds fairly similar.

Yep, my snow-bird child didn't get much last year and so far this year... sigh

I hope you escape your sitcom situation here soon..

Could easily be 5-1, Finland looks so dangerous

I'll keep it on my list.

I'm currently trying to wrap up the AFI 100 list from 2000 (www.afi.com/afis-100-yea...) but I'm really struggling getting through Tootsie 😅
