VERY important question: Is her stipend/tuition remission affected by this process. Both are usually tied to employment, without which the TA could starve. The stipends are usually quite meager as it is, so losing that would be devastating.

This is the argument I’ve been having with idiots over on FB who wanted Auburn to hire Durkin as the next HC. Dude headed a toxic program that resulted in the death of a kid. IMO, you don’t get to come back from that and head a program. Sorry!

Love it! I keep a brass KaWeCo Sport in my pocket at all times. It’s developed a nice patina over the last couple of years.

He had just said he planned to make a decision today, so wasn’t sure if there was any kind of press conference scheduled or anything.

Good to know! But this was several years ago, and sadly I think that pen got lost two moves back.

Turns out dropping it on a concrete floor and having it land exactly on the tip of the nib is bad… who knew!

Yea, I did, actually, but it started leaking after that, so I just put it away after that. Probably my fault (the initial damage was DEFINITELY my fault, lol).

I’d be down. I can drive to Auburn if needed.
