Over the weekend the fam headed down to Kansas City for the game, supposed to be Saturday – Monday trip but ended up Sunday + overnight because stepmom got a stomach flu. Ended up with couple cousins and the currently-pending-stepmom + her daughter.

Stayed at a suite not too far from Arrowhead, left about half an hour early and breeze through all the stadium parking, walking, more walking, beer buying, finally sit down on the 7th row on the “field level.”

Guess what we found in the stadium parking…

That’s a real fan in there.

A quick snap of myself, Heather, Ryan.

Yes, by “Row 7″ I mean: it is so close to the field I don’t even need to zoom and read the label on the O2 tank!

KC Cheerleaders squad took over the field once in a while as a “mid-game entertainment”

SNF! Who needs TV….wait! That is actually a chance to show up on the TV screen across the USA!

Yes, more cheerleaders.

In the end of the game I gathered up some Steelers fans around us and have a group picture.

Given we are around the Thanksgiving season – I am very thankful for the god (or father) of MOPAR creating the wonderful Charger and the modern revival so more people got a chance to be driving in a fun-to-drive and an amazingly safe tank. Oh, yea, and keeping it real wheel drive!

The Marketing I.S. class is in full swing, data-mining at its finest. Went through various theory, applications, and in the end just using one software application called SPSS for our “analysis” purpose.

The class is taught by a professor with moderate knowledge in this particular software, at least he knows which button to push and what kind of result should we expect for different perimeter input. It is, however, not that easy to dive in a mind-numbing 90 minutes lecture backed by a self explaining slideshow file. Projects based on real world scenario is a small portion of grade compared to exams. Such grading scheme is slightly disappointing when I looked back and saw my group contributed a fair amount of time onto writing some good papers reviewing our research on material. (Equality theory kicking in?!)

Is he a bad professor as other students suggest? I do not agree (while he seems to be one). He seems to be unhelpful in some cases but his passion in class talking about his experience…an obvious way showing he does give a crap and trying to save us time by letting us know what he know!
