Are you moving to Clemson?

It's a shitty place to get in and out of on game day, fyi...

no, its part of my existing job - we're partnering with Clemson, Purdue, Michigan and Penn St to deliver training.

Clemson is asking my team to run a lab for a class they teach. I'll either teach it remote or I'll fly out once a week

More like dumb manufacturing! AmIrite?

Is the importance of delivering a Post-It note by car to Florida (in lieu of sending an email) part of the cirriculum?

My top 5 since I got a few PMs requesting it.

1. Magic
2. MJ
3. Larry
4. Tim Duncan
5. Hakeem

6th man. Kobe

Lebron "I can blow by anyone for a layup now that there's no handcheck" James maybe comes in somewhere in the top 25.

they were giving me shit last week because I drove to Detroit and wouldn't drive on the interstate. I turned a 4 hour drive into almost 7.

You'd be surprised how in demand this manufacturing horseshit is. I'm working with Purdue, Penn St, Wichita St, Michigan and Clemson.

So far my company has no interest in working with UK - shocking I know

What is smart manufacturing?

It's a damn shame MJ and Bird didn't play in today's era. Those two playing with the current rules that protect players and promote offense? They would have no problem averaging 40+

the easy answer is its automating manufacturing processes so that they are data driven.

take an analog machine in a factory - like a conveyor belt and you add monitors and sensors to track speed, operating temperature, planned maintenance, energy consumption - things like that - and you do that for hundreds of machines - then centralize all of that information onto a common interface that a single operator can control - even on the internet from another office hundreds of miles away

there is also simulation - the idea of designing, assembling and flying a plane before you ever dig dirt for the factory to build it, and optimizing all the processes necessary to bring it to market.

its not as exciting as midget porn however

I like turtles

Firing a thousand peons and replacing them with one guy at a computer. Im sure Tree has lots of opinion. Might make things awkward at the next Goat Pen Anti-Semetic Society mixer

When is that again?

The same day the Maui Brackets come out...

Nice

Root's girlfriend is the reason I'm never invited

This guy can play.

don't know where our offense will come from at the moment but he has 3 of the best defenders in the transfer portal committed.

This won't be a big splash team he is putting together but they are going to play good fundamental basketball. Something we haven't seen in 10 years at UK.

set plays and mixing up defenses, UK fans won't know what to do with themselves.

I’m doing a post-retirement part-time gig in Clemson, SC, no affiliation with the school, about once or twice a week. Don’t know if this business will survive until 2026, though.
Now that the temperature is warmer, the campus scenery is quite nice.
Not sure where you fly in. Closest airport is an hour away and few direct flights there.
For as big as the college is, it’s surprising how little this town has. Lots of lakes, but not much else.
