Sosa and Starving Students -- Both Move, One Tested Positive For Steroids

In the summer of 1998, Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire engaged in a home run battle for the ages and each jockeyed to overtake Roger Maris' the-record 61 home runs in one season. The two would be featured almost nightly as one would top the other seemingly each day en route to eclipsing the legendary mark. McGwire would end up with 70 home runs to Sosa's 65, but both accomplishments would later be tarnished not by Barry Bonds who would later hit 73 home runs in a single season, but also by steroid allegations. McGwire would take execute his fifth amendment right to not incriminate himself and now the New York Times is reporting that Sammy Sosa tested positive for steroid use in 2003. Sosa's reported positive test result comes shortly after another superstar, Alex Rodriguez, admitted to prior steroid use, further tainting the sport that is now loosely referred to as "America's Favorite Pastime".

It's important to note at this time that Sammy Sosa has never worked for Starving Students, yet we do our best to hit home runs each time we move you. Give us a call at (888) 931-MOVE (6683) and see how we can give you the best move you've ever had!

Shue Won't Move Back To Melrose Place

Andrew Shue, the actor who played "Billy" on the original rendition of Melrose Place, has refused to reprise the role that once made him a household name saying he doesn't think the show should be brought back. Shue noted that the show had a great run during its initial incarnation but that the series shouldn't be brought back. Interestingly enough, both Laura Leighton and Thomas Calabro will both be reprising their roles, taking their place alongside Ashlee Simpson-Wentz on the new series.

Keep in mind that just because Billy isn't coming back doesn't mean you should avoid your plans to move to Melrose Place or any other location. Go ahead and give us a call at (888) 931-MOVE (6683) and see how Starving Students can make our latest incarnation of your move better than any move you've ever had.

Umpire Gets People To Move Like Starving Students

A high school baseball game in Iowa became notable not because of anything any of the players did, but by the actions of the umpire who decided the crowd should do like Starving Students and move. Home umpire Don Briggs became upset after a run that was reversed after he realized time-out had been called, drew the ire of the West Burlington's skipper who received a warning from the home plate ump. Briggs also warned the crowd, which mysteriously didn't stop one fan from yelling out an objection. In retalliation for this defiance, Briggs made the decision to eject the crowd of 100.

Starving Students agrees with Briggs' decision of moving, just not the decision to force 100 baseball fans to move out of their seats and away from the game. If you'd like to move on your own terms, go ahead and give Starving Students a call at (888) 931-MOVE (6683) or shoot us an e-mail here today.

Move To Los Angeles To Catch The Lakers Parade

Give us a call to see how we can save you some money on your move to Los Angeles to watch Kobe, Pau, Lamar and the crew make the trek to cap off what has been yet another extraordinary NBA season.

Switch Your Digital TV's Location With Starving Students

For the past few months or so, we've all heard talk of how you have to have your analog televisions switched to digital to avoid having them turned off. I personally only know of one person that has had to go buy that little converter box in order to avoid having the unthinkable happen, so it hasn't really impacted me too much. Still, it's interesting to read that millions of people might be forced to be without TV as of 11:59 pm tonight because their television isn't ready for the change.

Take solace in knowing that Starving Students isn't as fickle as this conversion. We'll never shut you out because your television is or isn't digital and in fact, we'll switch your televisions location during your move regardless of its status. At the same time, you can save some money on your move with our Cram Session offer and make your move that much better.

Pay Off Your Student Loan With Starving Students

For more than 36 years, Starving Students has been providing the best move our customers have ever had. In case you haven't heard the story, the company's owner and a partner started the moving company as a way to help pay their way through college and a short time later, Starving Students became a thriving enterprise. Well, imagine if the owner had decided to take out a student loan instead of digging that truck out from the side of that hill. I know, I know ... I shudder thinking about where we'd all be at, too. But the fact is that some of us aren't as shrewd and actually took out a student loan or two to make ends meet while battling college and because of this decision, we're mired in student loan debt.

Earn Money For Father's Day

Growing up, I didn't have any money. That's one of the problems with being a kid I guess. Still, I would find ways to get my father something, whether that was a drawing, something I put together with glue and paper, or something I found. Now that I've grown a little, I don't speak to my father but if I did, I could afford to buy him something but with the economy the way that it is, wouldn't money be a better gift?

This year, Father's Day falls on Sunday, June 21st, and what better gift would there be than $20 off of a move or the opportunity for father's everywhere to make some money? Take a look at some of our offers and see how you can make this Father's Day even more special with the gift of money!
