Have you done the stupid MSG thing? I went to the very first one. It was fun (although we lost, as usual).

Tradition!

This sort of thing periodically happens in Minneapolis, Mankato, and St. Cloud as well. Rivers are tricky.

Then of course there's Duluth and Bemidji, where lakes are the culprit.

No, you don't understand the geography of the campus.



Most frat houses are north of the gorges. Most student housing is in West Campus (on campus) and Collegetown (off campus), south of the gorges. You have to cross.

Every year a couple kids go in tab A but don't come out slot B.

And from West Campus, the way to get to the closest bridge to take you north of the gorge is a little muddy/wooden path down the side of it. Combine that with drinking and bad weather and probability is going to express itself. Come to think of it, how am I still alive?

Edit: And to add more to his point, the freshmen are pretty much all on North Campus now, the non-freshmen still in dorms on West, and everyone not in dorms south of the campus. But a lot of frats are also still on West Campus, meaning the same path is commonly taken in the other direction for freshmen to get to those. And even ignoring frats altogether, still a number of gorge crossings needed to get to various things. The main bridges more near the quad/building part of campus are usually safer, but then there's a handful of other ones over each gorge that will be usually the one someones takes unless it's the middle of the day and they're going to/from class.

I'm not worried about North Campus kids because (1) they cross the gorge over Thurston Ave and would have to be HYP twits to fall off that, and (2) North Campus kids suck (UHall5 forever!). Scrabbling up and down the ahem "steps" to cross Fall Creek on the suspension bridge was spectacularly fun as a stumbling drunk undergrad and I am also not certain how I'm still alive.

Maybe not. It has a bunch of non-sports stories on the front page right now, including Roth who does not suffer fools gladly.

Yeah, his story was from yesterday. There hasn't been a new story since 3:30pm (CT) today. Half their staff quit en-masse.

It’s dead.

Hopefully they reform somewhere. I’d subscribe. That place was one of the best comments sections on the internet.

I don't think G/O realizes the Commentariat will follow the talent, not the label. No more traffic --> no more ad revenue --> no more G/O Media. F-ck em.

Exactly. I told my fiancée this was awesome if only because it ****s the equity firm by making their expensive crown jewel worthless.

Especially with something like those sites which depend on freshness. Literally every bit of their IP is worthless once it's a week old.

It's like they own Robinson Cano.
