Random Thoughts Thread

Rich, we need on of these. A lot of boards have them, that way the board doesn't get littered with off topicthreads and you don't have to lock them.
We can come here to discuss whatever.
Rich please sticky this. :wordyo:

I'm gonna start it off with a thought about the man that sponsored this thread. Freeway looks to be making a comeback and that song is awesome. Good times.

All jerseyjac and I ask is that you guys keep this PG-13.

Thanks Rich, now we won't go crazy. :D

For anybody that has CBS College Sports channel, they're re-airing the entire NCAA tourney this week, it's still in the 1st round until Wednesday I believe.

I'm considering grad school but the first order of business is securing a job offer... Did you have to take the GMAT? Is that a test you really have to study for?

How long have you been out of school? or are you still in school. I took it when I was still in college and did well on it and I was still able to use it. With that said, a buddy of mine just took it and he showed me a practice test he had and I forgot how to do so many things. It took me a few minutes to get back into a rhythm, but I probably now would have to study harder than I did when I was in "school mode."

I say buy the GMAT book and take a gander at it a few hours a week just to keep things fresh. It also depends on what school you're looking to get into. I'm down here at High Point U in NC who has a known MBA program but really only in the surrounding states and they also look for people with quality work experience over test scores. Make a REALISTIC list of schools you would consider going to and research their tendencies and look at factors with their incoming class (i.e. Undegrad GPA, Test Scores, Years out of college, etc) and see where you fit. If you're shooting for a school out of your range, maybe try to take a prep-course to knock the GMAT out of the park.

Personally I ended up deciding to get my MBA because I want to go to law school and my undergrad GPA and LSAT score were pretty average. I got into a handful of law schools but not any that I really wanted to attend. Work is paying for my MBA and with that degree, my application should look enticing to the schools I want to get into now.

I know Jim Jackson tied the record for teams played, but he should be up there in most times traded.

I have no idea for how many times traded in a year...

I should also encourage all of you to post in RealGM's other Forums and the "Other Sports" Forum.
