So he should be used to the winter, Alaska will be a breeze. His tag says he is in Wyoming, so I didn't know which it was. Wyoming can be pretty bitter in the winters as well, all that wind.

... and we don't have much darkness to deal with.

I have no idea what apartments go for, but I do know rent is typically cheaper in Eagle River/Chugiak, which is about a 15-20 minute drive to the VA where you will be working. You are coming at a perfect time too, it shouldn't be too cold, spring is right around the corner, and we don't have much darkness to deal with. Check Craigs List or the ADN classified for apartments.

*checks apartments.com, brain hems and haws*

After some thought, I think I'd rather live in Anchorage proper if possible. Closer to stuff to do, and I think the money I'd save on rent in Eagle River would go right back toward gas driving to Anchorage every day.

Official start date up there is March 14.

Know of any moderately cheap apartments up there? I'll be working at the VA (corner of DeBarr and Airport Heights.)

So what is the time line? You know, all full time UAA students get into the games for free! And we need students to attend the games! Shoot me off an email.

Yes I am! Anchorage is where I will complete the second half of my "internship" and take my permanent position.

Kinda talked myself into it over time, really. My first thought when I saw Anchorage had an opening was "Wow, I'd love to visit, but I don't know if I could live there full-time." Then I looked at the rest of the cities on the list, and nothing really tickled my fancy, so I did some more research and found that Anchorage might just be perfect for me. Needless to say, I'm quite excited.

Thinking about getting a Masters at UAA as well. Their Project Management Masters program sounds pretty neat. I might take some of the Arctic Engineering courses too - those look like fun.

Explain. Are you moving to Alaska?

My alma mater vs. my soon-to-be hometown...I can't lose this series

So UAA will be without Lunden (shoulder), Vidmar (knee), Tuton and Crowell. I think the guys will step up and play just fine without them. These games are an absolute must win for UAA, but Tech always plays the Seawolves tough in their barn.

UAA has not won back to back games all season, this is a great time to start and pick up four very valuable points. Show us what you are made of Seawolves; show us the fire, heart and intensity we saw against Denver!! If you play that way, you WILL be rewarded with two wins.

Re: Battle of the Single-Digit Pointers - UAA at Michigan Tech, January 15-16

It is my understanding that captain Jared Tuton and Chris Crowell will not be joining us for Friday's game.

And it looks like Crowell is out for both games.

Re: Battle of the Single-Digit Pointers - UAA at Michigan Tech, January 15-16

Tech has a bizarro Tuesday game against NMU, before squaring off against a UAA team that gave Denver all it could handle and got a little rambunctious at the end.

Can Tech break their 12-game losing streak against a fired-up UAA squad?

It'd be 13 games, btw, if we break it against UAA.

If I can get Friday off of work, I will be at this series.

Missing out on the Sioux/Gopher series. I have mixed feelings about this.
