I've always wondered who those people actually ARE, and if they have any idea that The Onion, of all websites, uses their faces on a daily basis to associate with some of the best fake quotes ever conjured. Also, if your next words are "well, I'm actually the middle-aged grey hair guy and that's the best picture I…

You didn't have to associate with them to know them! Helping people isn't a hard thing to do, but the rub there is they have to either 1) want help, or 2) acknowledge the need for help. Forcing it won't take...

Some of the smartest kids I went to high school with were denied admission to UNC (caveat: we weren't in-state, so a lot tougher to get in), and as such I've always held it in high academic esteem. Further, the consulting firm I work for targets the MBA program there as one of the best in the nation, which has helped…

100000% correct statement, but let's not forget that those sports, by and large, are non-revenue generating and give out significantly higher portion of partial scholarships than full rides. I was a college athlete who received no scholarship money, but was in the honors program there and graduated with a 3.48 GPA and…

Is your profile photo one of the stock dudes used in "area man" blurbs from The Onion? Well played.

I went to school in the MAAC (basically a Patriot League caliber equivalent), and by and large, I could make the same comment. There were definitely some 'behind the scenes' things going on though with admissions that I'm well aware of after the fact, and some questionable practices that I witnessed there as a 4 year…

Actually, he admitted to helping others cheat. There IS a difference! Also, if you didn't know anyone in college doing HW for bucks, then the only reasonable conclusion there is that you didn't have ANY friends.

Agreed. They're easily my favorites, to the point where I pick them out specifically from the bulk foods bins, which to 1% of the banana runt loving world makes me an asshole, but to the other 99% a savior (apparently). I used to save them all for last and eat them all at once.

Agreed; I called it interesting because it's quite the deviation from his former take, based on his experience as a non-graduate: "The only marks Auburn ever cared about for me were 20 and 10" (or something to that tone, obviously refering to his stat line)

The /?tiger=off workaround stopped working a day or two ago; I think that did a lot of them in. This new system sucks. Hate the layout, and I don't find it any more "conversational" (or whatever it is they're going for here).

Interesting Charles Barkley quote (of all people) from today's coverage on Harvard's win: "They represent everything that is great about college basketball. We have a moral obligation to make sure these kids get their degrees, and obviously at Harvard they're going to do that. But we need more schools doing it also."

I would love to see Providence win a game or two, and wish Cooley was still on Fairfield's sidelines, but cannot in any way fault him for taking the job at a more established program in a better conference. He probably also now reports to an Athletic Director with some basic competence too, which he certainly didn't…

I figure the starters are going to get a lot of rest on Fri (@ Sac) and on Monday (vs Phil). Not like either of those will be a prime-time nationally televised contest! Anyway, they've impressed me this year - thought it was going to be a let-down season after how the Finals went.

Fellow Spurs fan! I'm fine with their success - especially of late - being under the radar (but just hope they aren't peaking too early). The Western Conference is so stacked that their seeding will matter, but given the injury problems they've had this year, it's more important that everyone's healthy during the…

Rose exceeded expectations, no doubt. Simply put, he doesn't try too hard, and is just "himself" out there (whereas I think Simmons just still kind of just craves attention and acts like he doesn't fit in but wants too SO BADLY).

He's a homer and he's always going to be a homer. I was fine with any discussion regarding the C's beating the Heat last night (because at least that was semi-relevant), but I guess just didn't notice him going on and on and on about them. There was some draft talk, some comparisons to them being just as bad as the…

That .gif with the waffle is one of the best things I've ever seen. Bravo.

I watched most of this game last night; the Rose/Simmons/Tirico experiment wasn't terrible, overall. I just can't help but feel like Simmon's is regurgitating jokes he already used in his columns over the last two decades every time he opens his mouth.

I've got a cousin who named her daughter Breelynn and fight the same urges...
