Just found out today I will be broadcasting for BCSN. They are a solid team, but only 6 deep. Without having seen Tiffin Calvert play, I think MVCD has a great shot. But again, I havent seen Calvert play. Should be a great broadcast if I dont fuck up the announcing part lol. Our #1 director and Graphics Coordinator are assigned to it as well.

You gonna be referring, or in attendance?

I think the point Dlazz was making is that credit hours transfer easier from Columbus State than they do from WSU. I think he is very right in this assessment. Columbus State and OSU have been working collaborately making the transition to the two universities seamless.
This, 100%.

I thought of another one that didn't "transfer" and that was my second English course at WSU. OSU had slightly different requirements for the second writing course (it had to be more reading/analysis based instead of writing)

And I'm using transfer in quotes because I got the hours, just not the course equivalency at OSU. I left WSU with 87 hours, arrived at OSU with 87 hours.

Make a budget and stick to it. Learn the power of savings and sacrifice now, so he can keep the financial monkey off his back later. Wish I had someone sit down and teach me that at that age. If he can do that when he's 18 he'll be a lot better off when he's 30/40/50/retired.

Calvert has a good team but they do not play very good competition. They have some solid athletic kids. The Warnement boy for Calvert was the player of the year in their conference.

Skyhook, please tell me that you will be in attendance at that District final. If so, I may have to make the trip.

My only point was that classes that you take outside of OSU don't always transfer in. They may have straightened that up by now, but I remember Columbus State pushing their classes as a cheaper alternative and that wasn't always the case. They may have that straightened out by now, but I wouldn't be mildly surprised if it didn't always work they way they advertised it.

I might be there but please do not stalk me. I do have a conceal/carry permit. I am not a Calvert Grad but I did grow up in that area and I am very familiar with their program.

Nah, I was down doing other games. I dont even remember which, but I wasnt at Central for tourney. I was up in Michigan for Bedford...Perrysburg for ND/NV....but not Central. I wish though, SJJ vs Start was a heck of a game.

Looking at the 3 schools they each played, it should be a really good game. Scores for all 3 games are eerily similar.

I know nothing about MVCD but New Riegel is in Calvert's conf and they are pretty good too. I believe they are in the other District Final. Sounds like it could be a good game. It's about a 200 mile trip for me so I am not sure yet.
