    A ton of construction jobs are available

    We were in construction, supplied labor for most of the carpentry involved in building. Regulations, insurance rates, and illegal labor drove us to early retirement.

    Plain Trouble on "Da Plains" (all AU posts here)

    You all make valid points about the academic matters but why shouldn't they apply to both. The NCAA is a paper tiger and not worth what it costs to maintain. It has been shown to be inept unless those it targets are more inept at covering their misdeeds or wish to maintain some integrity in...

    Quad tailgating prices going up
