Posts: 1 Jun 27, 2008 11:27 AM	Tags : None Hey everyone, I am coming back to Oxford to finish my PhD and had two questions for anyone kind enough to help- 1. What are the best or most common setups for cable and internet in town? When I was an undergrad from 2001 to 2004, I lived on campus and never had to concern myself with this. I'm thinking metrocast for cable, but dont know about DSL or high speed internet? I'll be living in an apartment (the cove). 2. Is the protocol for student football tickets the same? Do we still have an arranged time to do the cattle line thing at the Tad Pad? I have heard that joining the UMAA for $25 gets your early dibs on tickets. Thanks for your help and Hotty Toddy!

When I was an undergrad, you had to show up at 7:30 am on the Wed. before the first home game and tickets were in demand enough that there was a pretty good sized line to get them. Nice reply, by the way.

My question is, why does one's inability or lack of desire to run with big dogs confine him to the porch? Why shouldn't such a man be allowed to roam the rest of the house or even go for a nice walk in the park?

I posted on here thinking I could get some help from people I share an institutional (and cultural) affiliation with...but once again, the newbie gets attacked. I guess OM people dont stick together or help each other out...we're just like everywhere else now! Whatever
