Heck, I'll caddy for them.

CDC is going to issue a Level 3 Grude Fever warning. But an antidote is expected to be released SOOOOOOOOON!

 

[EZE]

MIT...IF this happens...we will need to connect.
I can make that Augusta round happen...we can celebrate together

Don’t forget EZE....

 

[RUVol_Fan]

I don't know either one of you but I'd give a body part (that I don't need for golf) to join you.

Life long goal...
So jealous.

Click and I are on the same page. I'll round out the four

I'm confused on how Beaver is legit just because he is a member of a golf course?

because it verifies who he has said he is since the beginning....

So... For thoroughness...

Any chance Atlanta Vol and Beaver are the same person?

This is a little off subject, but I am not sure it puts you at a huge disadvantage, but I agree there is some. My wife went to Vandy, her sister went to Vandy, her brother went to Wash U, Princeton, and just moved from being a prof at Penn to Columbia. I went to Pepperdine after my PhD. All of us are products of public schools.

I do think there could be a correlative relationship, but not necessarily a causal one on higher acceptance rates from private schools. If your parents care enough (and can afford...which my family could not) to pay for your education at a private school...that means there is a high probability that you will share their belief in the importance of education. Because 100% (or very close) of those people are paying, you would expect a higher percentage of those who value education vs a school that is free with your tax dollars. That leads to higher success rates for those from those schools, which feeds into the whole thing.

Anyway, maybe its just my field but I work with lots of folks from the ivies and MIT. Some of the folks are impressive and some aren't. Just like having 5 stars in recruiting is a good indicator that the athlete in question will be successful; being from one of the top schools is also....however we all know that there are a lot of 5 star busts as well.

Sorry for the ramble.

I got you. I guess during my time in academia I've just noticed a lot of correlation between private secondary schools and private universities (especially prestigious ones) so I assume some concious thought and decision making is behind it. And I was speaking more towards undergraduate admissions, not graduate ones. I don't see many trends there but in my field you apply to not only a school but a specific professor for post grad and doctorate opportunities. And yes I've dealt with quite a few people from the Ivies and the Dukes and Stanfords of the world as well and I agree. Some are very sharp and some you wonder how they even graduated.

Also, sorry for being off topic. This is more of an off topic forum discussion. Let's get Gruden!

Edit: Just caught up. So MIT is legit huh? Who would've thought. Booooom!

[TripleT512]

Good guy here.

Yes...He is. Did something very generous a while back for VN family member.

 

[MattR11]

I've gotten a little overwhelmed with the ups and downs. It's hard watching something I love so much sinking so far down. Had nothing to do with the bet. This crap has just consumed me. I needed a break.

Welcome back

 

[Behr]

Dat boy good.

 

[RagingOrange]

for some reason, this gives me pause.
not sure how to feel about that.
too unpredictable ... if true.

So tonight is mnf right?

 

[ER Vol]

Seriously?
There's a mini illuminati at UT? and Peyton and Johnny (majors?) are members?

I'm more lost now than I ever was before.

It's like the Bible.
The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.

We tried to an expose on them when I was in school, but we were shut down in a hurry. Dr. Howard had our back though and we stayed out of trouble so to speak. Loved that man, one of the best professors at UT.

Secret societies, old ass scotch from Ivan..damn my life is boring and I've been deployed to combat 5 times!

My life is boring and I like it that way. I work like a rented mule, take off when I want. Make pretty decent money and deal with zero bull from anyone. It's perfect for my anti social ass. Lol

If MIT's info is accurate you guys can both come out and play Pebble. May see if I can work in a round at Cypress Point too.
