4th on the board, definitely more like a week 1 than a week 2 but that's fine. More time for the P&A magazine that comes out at 1 ET!

I still was a trickle hesitant for that reason. At the touchdown spot (#7...well, if you count the extra point!).
I found the WSJ a Week 3.5 or so, so this balances okay with me! Gives me more time to solve some logic problems and root for the Cubbies!
Happy solving, and have a good weekend, everyone!

#11. Agree that it seems more week 1 than 2, but also agree that it's fine by me.

Felt pretty week-one-ish to me as well. But also, I'm fine with that. Hope everyone has a swell weekend.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

Beamed up. Had a guess early in the solve; further grid filling confirmed it.

Submitted but I'm not sure it was right, although it seems like distinct answer.
Edit: Beamed up!

They look a little young for the college search.

Well that was blissfully straightforward. Awaiting beam but pretty darn sure, gonna be a big week I'll bet.
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Submitted and awaiting beaming up.
Beamed up at #101. Just beaten out for the coveted #100 spot by @hcbirker
I don't think that this is a spoiler but this is 67A

I didn't go to the Crossword Tournament in Bryant Park today (Mike Shenk and Amy Goldstein facilitators) so I was able to make it into the top 100 in a Week 2 MGWCC.
