Around SBN: Lance Berkman Could Have Torn ACL

FULL COST OF ATTENDANCE MEANS A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS

We are all for the full cost of attendance modifications being proposed by the Big Ten. It puts the B1G on some equal footing with SEC schools since we've proudly been providing scholarships of variable enhanced value for years. (The sunshine is free, recruit! And sometimes so is the car, its insurance, and the various gift cards sitting in the glove compartment.) It also may ever so slightly reduce the chances of a recruit being bought off by an agent, though the majority of recruits happy to deal with agents before will just demand more money. People are fun like that! 

The cost of living varies widely from place to place, however. For instance, each of the following schools has its own unique expenses that can't be accounted for by a single blanket number coupled with inflation.

USC/UCLA: Ball-waxing, taco truck bill, botox injections, Pinkberry twice a week. 

Scaled_php_medium

USC's Super-agent Teague Egan agrees: waxing and Pinkberry are so beyond crucial as living expenses. (Via.)

RUTGERS: Gym membership because they don't have the fat grip deadlift/shrug bar at the student rec center. 

Star-divide

OHIO STATE:  "What do you mean by 'things cost money?'" 

FLORIDA: Herbal vaporizer, towing fees, penicillin.

IOWA: Spare replacement kidney on call, city-mandated North Face jacket.

NOTRE DAME: Well-constructed name-brand backpacks, since that smug isn't going to carry itself. Servant to carry said backpack.

INDIANA: One gun, one bullet, one plastic tarp.

ALABAMA: Quality bowl for bimonthly male haircut, galoshes for ladies, ceremonial statue funds for construction of Crimson Tide idols in student apartments.

KENTUCKY: Handshake deal with Black Pike Mining Company and the finest Kentucky Spring Water ensuring you'll never care about winning more than 58% of the time the rest of your life. Oh, and notebook paper. It's like 70 dollars a sheet there.

NORTHWESTERN: Dignity. Brains and money will only get you so far.

WEST VIRGINIA: Unless cunning and mountain guile come in a jar, nothing, thank you very much. (It does, and its price varies from county to county depending on what its made of and how flammable it is.)

LSU: Miracle-Gro, Ortho Weed-B-Gon, one exquisite Blancpain wristwatch hammered to shit with a rusty crowbar, one live kangaroo for each student.*

*No reason. Just imagine the possibilities, though.

WISCONSIN: Only the finest in second brunch, second lunch and second dinner culinary offerings. Also: a sturdy, strong legged female tutor to pull the plow.

GEORGIA: Testosterone supplements, HGH, Viagra, shoe inserts, hairplugs, and other necessities required by a middle-aged football program.

HAWAI'I: Bail.

TEXAS: Khaki pants, queso, tubs of Tommy Lee Jones' sweat for personal cosmetic use, stylish guns for home presentation.

MEMPHIS: Real goddamn guns for home protection and all the body armor a man can wear without collapsing in the heat.

NEBRASKA: Monthly rabies vaccinations (source: Pelini bites)

AUBURN: "We're good, thanks."

MISSISSIPPI STATE: With the cost of living in Starkville so low, actually owes someone money back.

First day of lab was three hours on lab safety. Fully half of that was devoted to proper handling of HF and what to do if it spills (answer: call 911 and the Hazmat crew, and rub a shitload of calcium gluconate gel on it if you got any on you at all).

Gads, I remember well the 1985 WVU-Duke matchup

Mrs. an ‘eer and I drove up into the foothills of Western Maryland to try and get the radio signal in the car on those faraway days of no-WVU-football-on-tv, and I remember being aghast at the closeness of the game. It ended 20-18 WVU, but a week after the ’eers had destroyed Louisville 51-13, I wasn’t expecting to have a hard time with a basketball school like Duke.

The ’Eers had a not-bad season that year, going 7-3-1 (losses to PSU, Virginia and Maryland, and tying Pitt 10-10), but no bowl game with that record in those days.

The name Steve Spurrier was burned into my memory that day. I’d never heard of him before, but I figure he had to be some coach to get Duke to put up a battle like that in Morgantown.

by Cantabrigian_UGA_Fan on May 24, 2011 5:33 PM EDT up reply actions  

It still is, at least compared to all the others

Remember, Princeton has the highest legacy rate of perhaps any college in the country, so its demographics shift quite slowly.

by Ardbeg on May 24, 2011 5:40 PM EDT up reply actions  

Huh, I've visited Princeton once for a college admission tour way back and haven't been since

So I can’t say I know that much.

From what I can glean from the Googles, though, it seems like Princeton’s racial demographics aren’t that much different from Harvard or another Ivy.

by Cantabrigian_UGA_Fan on May 24, 2011 5:48 PM EDT up reply actions  

Racial demo, sure

That’s something objective you can measure, and all of the top schools set (and meet) similar targets there. But among the white students (and for that matter, to a lesser degree even among the nonwhite students), the class is full of legacies, which means old traditions (like Southerners) tend to be preserved. Actually, I wouldn’t be surprised if the class is more Southern than in the past. You’ve got more people coming from California and the West, but a large chunk of your African Americans and Latinos are going to be from the Southeast plus Texas. And in 40 years, even the minorities will all be legacies.

by Ardbeg on May 25, 2011 9:45 AM EDT up reply actions  

Looking at their admissions statistics

It’s hard to say since the Northeast is well-populated, as is California and to a lesser extent Texas and Florida. If there are more Southerners I suspect it’s because states like Texas, Florida, NC, and Georgia are rapidly growing (and schools are improving), so while a good number of those might be legacies, their parents might be transplants to the suburbs.

I never knew that

They should mention that in their recruitment materials, at least the ones sent below the Mason-Dixon. At least it would make them stand out a bit.

Seems short-sighted to give up any recruiting advantage

The competition for high-level scholars is pretty fierce. If you have something that could give you an advantage in the nation’s most populous region, seems like it would be wise to preserve it.

The advantage is preserved by the parents

Princeton grads make their kids go to Princeton. Princeton grads are so fanatical that many (most?) of them go to reunions every year. Princeton may be missing out on the occasional “top scholar.” But kids that have been groomed for Princeton from day 1, attended the best “academies”, play the harp/violin/piano, and have perfect SATs? All they can handle.

Fair point.

Working at independent secondary school in NE right now. The feeder schools are a borderline scam in terms of cost relative to quality of education, but they might as well be minor league affiliates of the Ivies.

There’s one official dealership and one used lot/service shop that might as well not bother with any other brands. That’s covering a combined city/county population of 120,000, with maybe 30,000 outside the county lines that could legitimately be called part of the area.

Just about every other school in Virginia likes to bash UVA kids for being ‘pretentious’ and ‘snobs.’ In other words, they get called out for thinking they’re better than everyone else. Well, if you went to the school in Virginia with the most stringent admissions requirements, best overall athletic program, most beautiful campus and coeds, most successful and famous alumni, the most storied social scene, that was founded by Thomas Jefferson, and all that happened to be in what was voted the #1 city to live in in America, well you’d think you were the shit too.

There are two reasons for all of that.

One of them was resolved in 2004. Virginia Tech’s administration picked the wrong principle to stand on in the spring of 1953, and our entire athletic program paid for it with fifty-one years in the wilderness. VT was admitted to the Big East Football Conference on the same grounds and with the same external expectations as Temple. The fact that we dodged their fate and ended up where we are is one of college football’s more incredible stories of the past two decades, but it doesn’t fix the fact that as the ACC developed a dominant regional reputation in non-revenue sports, ours were gasping for air.

The other one is that UVa has alumni who stroke off multi-million-dollar checks when they want things to happen. VT, due to its institutional history and differing academic focus even to the modern day, does not.

That 17-year-old Hokie sitting in the Greensboro Coliseum rafters in 1997 didn't see any of this coming.

"one of college football's more incredible stories of the past two decades"

Made me throw up in my mouth a little. Still can’t see how a team that’s 1-18 against Top Five opponents in Frank Beamer’s tenure (1-26 overall ) is an “incredible story,” except in underachieving.

They can’t even burn couches properly down there: set a house on fire the one time they tried it.

Ima just leave this here

Underachieving is actually pretty fun when your rivals do it in style.

In general (yes, LOLJMU), within the scope of a single season, VT both wins and loses the games it should. But even an Eer ought to be smart enough to recognize that the historic trajectory of VT’s program over the past 20 years has been pretty damn impressive.

We won our first bowl game ever the year before Beamer started, and had to fire Dooley’s corrupt ass immediately afterwards and make Beamer rebuild even that small achievement from scratch. We came from nothing. And If you want to define what our program has done over the past 20 years as still nothing to WVU’s something, you’re going to have to explain away your 5-10 record against us and 25 fewer wins overall over that span.

by JoshCVT on May 25, 2011 1:19 PM EDT up reply actions  

See, this is the problem with VoTech fandom

They think college football began in 1995 with their win over Texas in the Sugar Bowl.

WVU won their first bowl game back in 1925 when they defeated Gonzaga in the San Diego East-West Christmas Classic. Won a Sun Bowl in 1937 and appeared in the Sugar Bowl in 1953. If someone wanted to tell a story about a team accomplishing so much with so little to start with, WVU’s history is far more compelling than the nouveau riche VT.

The overall record of WVU over VT is 28-21-1, so let’s not focus on just the recent history of the series. Take away the recent 5-10 record and you’re left with 23-11-1 up to that point. They actually split the last four of the series, 2-2, so what you’re so proud of is basically the stagnant end of the Don Nehlen era and his .554 record overall and 1-6 record against VT. Add in DickRod’s early struggles in 2001 for another loss to VT and you have 1-7 of those 5-10 — meaning that otherwise WVU 4-3 against VT.

Indeed VT, “came from nothing,” but they still are nothing. Only one BCS win — over powerhouse Cincinnati. Otherwise in BCS games VoTech is 0-5.

In reality, VT is a solid program that never won the Big East after Mike Vick left, but has managed to become a dominant program in the ACC. They were just lucky that the two Big East teams that followed them in were the ones whose number they had (BC and Miami), and not Pitt, Syracuse or WVU

Your logic is impeccable.

You're close

VT was nothing before 1991 and they’ve still accomplished nothing. Well, except for that exciting BCS win over powerhouse Cincinnati. Other than that, pretty much nothing to write home about.

And yeah, I was pointing out that 7 of those 10 wins came against WVU at a particularly low point in program history, while VT was at a particularly high point. 26-21-1 is a far better descriptor of the two programs’ relative strength than your selection. The last four games of the series (2-2) is pretty much the perfect picture.

VT is notorious for not getting the upset. Except for 2004, VT has never beat WVU when the ’Eers were ranked higher, while WVU took VT to the woodshed in 2003 when VT was ranked #3 in the country.

VT is the Scut Farkus of college football: normally easily beats up on weak competition, but if the other team gets the fire up they can beat the snot out of them without much trouble, leaving them crying on the field.

And this is one of the reasons why WfnVU fans respect SU

and despise VoTech: football is a continuum, not a sample of the last 20 years.

This is not to say that a team’s fans should behave as though the team is still as good as they were in their heyday [rolls eyes in direction of ND], but the historical record must be respected. Just because a 6-year-old could have knocked down Max Schmeling when he was 99 years old (he lived from 1905 to 2005) does not mean he was never nuthin’.

I once sort of dated a girl who went to Bowling Green

Our big date, the one where it was she and I alone in her house, I sat watching her calling the admissions office to find out if her grades were good enough to allow her back for the second semester.

And I thought, “I have low standards, but they’re not this low.”

Idaho: Buy one, get one 50% off coupon for Keystone Ice, and an air mattress to land on when falling out a second story or higher dorm room window.

by reflectivity on May 24, 2011 4:33 PM EDT reply actions  

Again, I must insist otherwise

(1) Everyone knows you do the ol’ grab n dash when securing your 6 pack of Keystone Ice tallboys. BUY one, get one 50% off? That’s like telling us to go to saksfifthavenue.com because “you get free shipping if you spend $150 or more.”

(2) A two-story dorm drop would barely be felt through the fog of alcohol. Dorm buildings aren’t magical skyscrapers. Most of them follow the convention of about 10 feet per story. I understand how you might never have seen a dorm building since BSU’s “campus life” involves drinking Natty Light in your old high school’s parking lot before punching in for the night shift at the seatbelt factory.

(3) Nice Pat Forde shoutout in the sigline. /mdwm
