Sorry for the 14 year delay in responding. I had no idea Carl Quintanilla is a Buff. Does nice work on Squawk on the Street every morning.
 
What did he call out? Academics? Football?
It was a funny back and forth with the other hosts. The discussion was about Ivy League schools, and he kept having to apologize for schools he left out (Cornell, Dartmouth, etc). Then he asked Becky if CU is included. She said no, but MIT is (he has an advanced degree from MIT). Thus, not necessarily a shout out to CU, other than the exposure and now my knowledge that he is a Buff. 😂

Tom Costello is as well.
 
5* for your thread selection to place this post
I’ve learned that when you (yes, pretty much just you) raise an old thread, it doesn’t recognize the previously read feature and I start from post number 1 instead of taking me to the current post.

5 minutes after reading posts from 2008 and wondering how I could possibly have 10 pages of unread thoughts on a board I spend way too much time on, I realize nothing is actually new.

So thanks for that.
 
Pulling a ****ing @hokiehead bull**** move on an old thread. But big shoutout to Carl Quintanilla on CNBC. This guy is ****ing great. As is Joe Kernan. Repping the Buffs in a big way.
