Did I see that we are hosting a MTE? Is that the tidbit?
But don't you love how Industrial and Enterprise Systems Engineering rolls off the tongue ?
It's in the general vicinity of something involving more than two teams but it's not necessarily an MTE, I don't believe. It's the potential teams and sites I've heard that have me excited. Big time. If that's public it's news to me.

From alpha test site for Bally and Gotlieb to no pins? So sad. It was nice to play innovative prototypes that often didn't make it to production. Thanks Steve (Lawson) for insisting the pinball stayed after the lower floor remodel, getting the prototypes, running the bowling lanes, coaching the university bowling team, and running some great bowling leagues (~mid 70s to early 2000s).
I like it. A place in the suburbs. The first time I went to Barrow in 1986 I couldn't believe that people lived in 8X8 plywood shacks - a bunk, a honey bucket, a hot plate, Toyo heater and a TV with one channel. After the federal government has spent billions with a B to make the lives of the 6,000 residents better, they mostly have what are more "normal" homes with running water and a sewer connection.
People in the lower 48 have no idea how some of their fellow Americans live, especially in the smaller villages in Alaska.
Weāre having a home-and-home with the Yankees???
I live in Evansville and that is where this pic was taken!! It was hilarious when it happened last summer
Yeah, most Outsiders think Alaska is located right next to Hawaii, just like on their little restaurant paper placemats

There was a pool player who travelled with the bowlers. He regaled us with stories of his hustling days and the knife fights he was in during his Florida hustles. Good times.
Another popular hang-out was the billiards room. During the 1970s, Steve Cusick, ā80 BUS, a wizard with the pool cue, was a familiar fixture there. Characterized by the Illio as āa demigod in the Illini Union pool room,ā Cusick went undefeated for four years in the Illini Union billiards tourney and won the Big Ten championship in billiards

Who's the player? I haven't watched baseball since free agency ruined it for me.Take a swing.
I live nearby and was also witness to the Poon Saloon.I live in Evansville and that is where this pic was taken!! It was hilarious when it happened last summer
Kick off season games in Yankee stadium?
There was a ranked women teaching in the 80s. Nice person. Terrible teacher. She seemed to just accept we were terrible players and watched us flail, vs. helping us more with form. The class was a waste of time.
Another U or I student highly proficient at pool, a contemporary of Cusick's.
