1. It's always cold and wet. Warm to them is 75.

2. Not at all impressed with the selection of females, although I was single when I last visited. 

3. Beautiful countryside- a land of never ending photo ops.

4. The accent can be brutal once you're outside the cities.

5. Haggis is disgusting.

6. It's all white. There might be 4-5 people of color in the entire country.

7. Have fun, become a part of the culture and people, not a bystander. Don't be the "ugly American."

the cities are old world charming, but get out in the countryside as much as possible. go to glencoe, an hour or so outside of glasgow, and spend a day or two hiking up into the mountains. just don't be a fuging idiot like me and climb without gear. you'll get stuck. everything is always wet. the moss is wet, the rocks are black and slimy and you will slip off of them and die.

inverness is cool, rent a car or bike and take the road around the eastern side of loch ness, it's by far the best. all the properties have public access points with wooden steps to take you over the fence, so you can traipse at will. climb ben nevis. you think you can understand the scottish accent but you can't. the castle at urquhart is awesome, especially the trebuchet. the cider they brew there is delish. take a couple days in the cairngorms, it's gorgeous. avoid the william wallace monument during school hours, the little buggers invade the place for field trips and ruin your gaze over the stirling battlefield. take ryan air to jump to sites farther afield in europe while you're there but don't bring bags.

have fun! scotland owns

Good for you op. The semester I spent in Edinburgh was some of the best months of my life. The train is cheap. Buy a ticket and go places. The friendliest people I've ever met. There are good looking girls,  granted most are from London.  Maybe I was lucky but it didn't rain nearly as much as everyone says. Oh,  personal opinion but skip Glasgow. Get to the Lake District in England. Get to the Highlands. Don't let a day go by without seeing something new.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
