@rvaduke I told someone to take JMU over App State and they lost money. Oops. But…I was at a bar in town for the end of the NDSU v USD game and the silence was golden. Maybe that helps?

[Colin Knapp @ZzzEcon]

@Wootenomics @mccouched Yes, 100%.

[Colin Knapp @ZzzEcon]

Where’s the campus fire marshal when you need them? Oh right, they’re too busy checking faculty offices for coffee makers and bikes.

[James Tierney @James_Tierney]

Shock your professor this fall. Read the syllabus.

[Colin Knapp @ZzzEcon]

@Wootenomics Were you there for this?

[Tampa Bay Rowdies @TampaBayRowdies]

Hey, @SportsCenter. You know what to do. #SCTop10

[Colin Knapp @ZzzEcon]

@Wootenomics @TampaBayRowdies My first MLB experience was a Cardinals v. Pirates spring training game from Al Lang’s 3B side!

@BillGoffe I find this paper…handy. It does reinforce my priors on the topic.

[Colin Knapp @ZzzEcon]

@Econlib The Simple Path to Wealth by JL Collins.

[Colin Knapp @ZzzEcon]

@Ezragression @sppgatech Congrats! This is a great opportunity.

[Colin Knapp @ZzzEcon]

@James_Tierney I heard the same thing today.

[Colin Knapp @ZzzEcon]

This is pure gold. Anyone who has enjoyed at least one pitch of any baseball game at anytime in their life will enjoy this.

The agony that is Angel Hernandez’s umpiring has finally come to a close, so what better time to remember his legacy than right now

Some of Angel Hernandez’s worst calls and most iconic moments, a thread🧵

Halfway to 52 books in 2024! I struggle on occasion with award-winning books. This one starts with a lot of character development that was hard for me to get through. The last 3/4 of the book improved as the plot picked up. Harding's books just might not be my thing.

[Colin Knapp @ZzzEcon]

It's time to once again thank @Wootenomics for motivating me to read more. Since meeting and working with him at Penn State, my reading list has grown exponentially. For 2024, my goal is to read a book a week, alternating fiction and non-fiction. Follow 👇for my progress.

[Colin Knapp @ZzzEcon]

I buy two types of souvenirs nowadays, t-shirts from the colleges I visit and books that remind me of the trips I've taken. Today, I'm repping Creighton. I also finished this book about Astor's attempt to establish a fur-trading empire along the Columbia River in the early 1800s.

[Colin Knapp @ZzzEcon]

@AustinBoyleEcon I would also be interested in knowing whether the date of the first missed assignment (maybe the first two) relates to passing the class. Something like...students who miss the first assignment are X more/less likely to pass.

[Colin Knapp @ZzzEcon]

@AustinBoyleEcon Show them the raw data. I did that in 302 to show how the first exam score related to passing the class. It generated a lot of interest in office hours. Almost all that followed my advice passed the class. Just be prepared for one student to try to use it against you.

[Colin Knapp @ZzzEcon]

This book opens with a line I believe in, "There's something liberating about a long run."
Then the zombies show up.
It was impossible to not enjoy sprinting through this story. It's figuratively and literally a nice escape. I'm only mildly ashamed to have found it has a sequel!

[Colin Knapp @ZzzEcon]

I had high hopes for this one. The parts about saving aggressively and controlling how they spend their time were excellent. There were just too many criticisms of how other people choose to arrange work, consumption, and family. FIRE isn't for everyone and that's okay!

Ice cream tastes 600% better out of a helmet. It’s science.

[Colin Knapp @ZzzEcon]

My dad talked with me right before I started my first job at 16. Save 10% of everything you make and never touch it. Set your standard of living on what’s left. It’s worked well. Glad I listened. Wish I’d thanked him while he was still alive.
