Cool Professor Lets Student Reschedule Midterm For The Cubs Playoff Game
Professors can be some real hard asses. They won’t budge on bumping that 87 to a 90, excusing your 10 absences, or even cater to your needs when you want to reschedule an exam. They relish in this power over their students. It’s tyranny, really. However, you will occasionally get the cool professor who lets his rules slide a little. For example, this cool guy at the University of Illinois is allowing a student to reschedule a midterm so the kid can take in a Cubs playoff game.

Gotta respect the kid’s blatant honesty here with the professor. For Cubs fans, this opportunity hasn’t presented itself often — they have only been to the playoffs five times during my lifetime.
I’m a firm believer that if you have a shot to see your team win anything significant, then you miss anything to go watch it live. If that means you miss a midterm, so be it. It’s just a grade after all..

10 years ago at 7:11 amWhat do Cubs fans have in common with the Chicago Cubs?
In a couple weeks, they’ll both be watching the World Series on television.
10 years ago at 10:01 amWe got a future contestant on ‘Last Comic Standing’ here folks.
10 years ago at 10:24 amDuring the sochi Olympics there was a chance that team USA hockey would be playing during his exam that morning and if they did he’d let it slide. That game happened to be the game against russia where Oshie told putin to shove it. Gotta love when professors let you skip because America
10 years ago at 10:30 amBeing the worst team in the history of professional sports and singing a song whenever you win a game. NF.
10 years ago at 10:58 amStarting 5 rookies +2 more 25 year olds and going 32 games over .500 in the best division in baseball. FaF.
10 years ago at 11:21 amThe NL Central had one of the greatest seasons ever for a division with three phenomenal teams.
10 years ago at 11:24 amDoesn’t matter. Cubs Suck.
10 years ago at 12:03 pmYou can downvote all you want and it won’t change the fact that Cubs Suck.
10 years ago at 7:23 pmI told you they suck…
10 years ago at 3:54 amI see you have a hard on for this terrible franchise. Must be rough never having seeing your team establish itself as the best in the world. The Cubs=The TKEs of the MLB. #freejoemaddon
10 years ago at 12:55 pmI’m a Saint Louis fan and I want you to shut the fuck up.
10 years ago at 11:22 amShit article.
10 years ago at 11:23 amHow’s that’s blackball feel?
10 years ago at 1:17 pmOh wait, you can’t tell me, bitch.
10 years ago at 1:17 pmHe’s not blackballed… That’s just his picture
10 years ago at 1:19 pmshit.
10 years ago at 1:59 pmI still want your tears and your broken TV when the Pirates lose, boulevard.
10 years ago at 11:25 amToo bad the Cubs suck cock and haven’t won a World Series since mans first flight. Cardinal Nation
10 years ago at 11:32 amHow exactly do they suck cock when they had the third best record in MLB?
10 years ago at 11:35 amObviously you’re not a golfer.
10 years ago at 11:47 amThey suck cock because Cubs Suck.
10 years ago at 12:01 pmThey’re still 3rd in their division behind the pirates and cardinals. They suck cock. Get over it
10 years ago at 12:31 pmSomeone get this kid a helmet and a window to lick.
10 years ago at 1:03 pmThis is why everybody hates Cardinals fans. You’ve been there before so act like it.
10 years ago at 11:41 amDeep down Cards fans like this blowhard know the tides are turning and they’re trying to cling on to the old Cubs narrative as long as possible. Cubs have half the payroll of the Yankees and Dodgers and their rookies are locked down on rookies contracts for 4-5 more years. Now that the rebuild is over and the young talent in place, they’ll spend money like the big market team they are. Money that the Cardinals don’t spend. Cardinals will continue to fight the injury bug from aging players and the Pirates young core of talent will remain highly competitive. Cubs may not win the World Series this year, and they may not win it for many years to come, but they don’t need to win the world series to ruin your playoff hopes in the future, so put the old Cubs WS drought narrative to rest and worry about how you’re gonna win the world series after a pathetic .500 September.
10 years ago at 12:15 pmForgot to mention the Cubs have this years cy young winner, rookie of the year, a potential NL MVP in rizzo, and two of the top 8 catchers in baseball. I saw we take the pennant within the next three years
10 years ago at 1:12 pmAnd you clearly have an ax to grind against the Cardinals. One bad month does not make a team. We were under. 500 in September 2006 when we won the World Series. Martinez, Piscotty, Wong, Gurchik, Wacha, Carpenter the Cardinals have an excellent young core too that will continue to help them win as the likes of Holiday, Wainwright, and Molina phase out. All three teams will be competitive for years to come.
10 years ago at 2:02 pmWe’ll see how the organization moves on without the genius and mastermind Jeff Luhnow, who scouted, drafted, developed and shaped the entire organization up until 2011 (and responsible for 2012 draft picks). Cardinals haven’t put anyone worth noting in the big leagues from 2013-2015 draft in which he wasn’t involved in. The Cardinals even hacked into his shit in Houston because they needed so desperately to pick his brain. Also, we’ll see how CarMart’s arm holds up. Fernandez, Harvey, Strasburg, and other young guns who throw 99/100 tend to blow out their arm.
10 years ago at 3:07 pmTo be fair the players from thoes drafts are still quite young. An accession to the bigs as fast as Bryant’s is quite rare. I already listed a number of building blocks we already have at the big leagues many of whom are rookies or 2nd year players.
10 years ago at 3:32 pmAt least you know whats going on, and I respect that, but folks like TacBro Bell, Tittydick, and mcfratfrat are why I fucking hate cardinals fans. Cardinals have some great fans, but when your demographic reaches missouri, western tennessee and kentucky, southern indiana and illinois, and parts of arkansas and oklahoma, the backwoods mouth breathers who don’t know what the fuck is going on really hurts your reputation.
10 years ago at 3:54 pmI dislike them too. I’m from Southern Illinois where there is a fair mix of Cardinals and Cubs fans. There is no doubt in my mind at some point in the next week or two I will see some idiot shouting “1908” at a Cubs, when they themselves are suprised to learn Albert Pujols is no longer on the team. I then will feel dirty for having high fived the during the game earlier when I was oblivious to their ignorance. But I also expect to see Cubs “fans” come out who don’t know who Kyle Schwarber is.
10 years ago at 4:24 pmYou know what would be a great place to discuss this? The forums.
10 years ago at 10:11 pmWhoa whoa whoa, I’m no Cardinals fan. Please there Tuco, I have standards.
10 years ago at 4:29 pmBeing alive for the ’84 playoffs. TTFMWriterM.
10 years ago at 12:55 pmTBornbefore1984M
10 years ago at 3:31 pmExcept they went in 89, 98, 03, 07, and 08. Counting is hard, huh?
10 years ago at 3:46 pmJoe Maddon should definitely start Rowengartner for the Wild Card game.
10 years ago at 1:44 pmThat’s a sad movie. Kid lost his amateur status for a garbage league minimum contract, and can’t ever play in a league with his friends again.
10 years ago at 2:12 pmWow, I never thought of it that way. Thanks for ruining my childhood though, I really appreciate it.
