Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

IN CHINESE CRISIS MEANS OPPORTUNITY MEANS EDSALL

The Maryland Transfer Counter now stands at nine as tallied by Testudo Times, though that may be subject to revision now that quarterback Danny O'Brien insists he is still a Terp. Earlier rumors had the 2010 ACC Rookie of the Year O'Brien and starting left tackle Max Garcia leaving the Randy Edsall Dream Job Experience, a move that would only remove the two most important pieces on any offense from the Terps first-string lineup.

True or not, the transfer would not be the most surprising thing in the world. O'Brien's production faded as a sophomore under the sway of the Crowton Effect, and he missed the last two games of the season with a broken arm sustained against Notre Dame. Fightin' Mike Locksley is his third offensive coordinator in three years, and one whose Illinois attacks called for a fair amount of run plays for the quarterback. O'Brien can move, but he can't really run with any credible consistent threat, and that may be where the source of the rumors started in the first place.

Those are all somewhat logical guesses. So is this another, this time a guess at what Randy Edsall truly wants at quarterback.

Fgfootballpassingmachine_medium

Will never transfer. WIll never complain. Throws up to "600 punts or passes an hour," so it both understands hard work and what can happen when you don't just run the ball like an American should. Won't make trick shot videos. Won't complain when Mike Locksley kicks it to pieces for blowing a gear. Never tries to make something happen out of the pocket. Never audibles. Requires three wheels and one operator, but that's what running backs are for, no?Will never impregnate the daughter of an administrator at least we don't think so. There are some pretty determined ladies out there, though. "I love you Jugs Field General Football Machine. We'll make this work. We'll have beautiful little tripod children. WE WILL.")

Luke Harangody is really the only F/C that ND has had like that. Jack Cooley looks like ‘Gody, but he’s nowhere near as good. Prior to that, Notre Dame had more of the “stretch the floor” type centers like Troy Murphy and Luke Zeller.

“Sweet tea” means, well, sweet tea. It’s its own beverage. You put the sugar in while the water is still boiling before you even steep the tea bags so it mixes well.
“Sweetened tea” is what happens when someone attempts to poison a Southerner with “iced tea.” He desperately adds the nearest sweetening agent, but it never really blends well.
Some Southerners say “Unsweet tea” because tea is expected to be sweet where they’re from. In some parts of the South, your options aren’t "sweet tea or iced tea (or just “tea”)," they’re “tea or unsweet tea.” Actually it’s usually just “tea or [confused, vaguely suspicious look].”

It’s not a linguistic/logical thing, it’s just a usage thing.

I actually disagree a bit there

Unless things have changed since I applied to college (2004). Colleges want what I call “brochure kids”: the kind of kid who may be shallow and stupid, BUT has an interesting-looking resume for 1 page.

Given a choice between a 4.0 kid who played 3 sports (but none well enough for college), knows Spanish, can play piano and guitar, and is very involved in very common extracurriculars, and a kid who is a 3.8 but is a world renown squash player who can interpret sanskrit and play classical guitar, they’ll take the latter.

They want a “hook” as our guidance counselor called it: something that sets you apart. It can be shallow as hell (the kid who joins every religious extracurricular to look like he’s interested in that sort of thing), but if you fake it they’ll eat it up.

When I was applying to college, the buzzword was "well-rounded person" (i.e. someone who had a variety of skills/interests).

Soon enough, they got enough well-rounded people. So the best advice is to find one thing that you really enjoy and can get really good at, and fill the rest of your time around it. (And to get good grades and test scores, of course; those still come first unless you’re really, really awesome at that one thing.)

I think it depends on how good the local Big State U is.

Michigan’s a damn good school and relatively inexpensive, so there weren’t really a whole lot of other places that I would have considered and were worth the money. I applied to two schools, showed up at Michigan’s new student day the day after I got rejected from the other school, and off I went.

But if you live in a state where the top public college isn’t as good, I imagine you want to look at more schools.

I really don't know where I would've gone if I didn't get into those other 2

I didn’t really consider anywhere else. Probably one of the multitude of auto-full ride offers thanks to being national merit.

PARENTS: COLLEGE FINANCING TIP: national merit is based on your score relative to everyone else in your state. So if you don’t want to pay for college and are ok with your kid matriculating from Oklahoma or Southern Cal (2 I distinctly remember), move to West Virginia your child’s junior year.

Yeah, they tell you wrong

Employers care surprisingly little what skills you have.

“Says here you didn’t major in business.”

“Well, I learned a shitload more about critical thinking and analysis, sound judgment, creativity, reading, writing, and hard work at Hard Liberal Arts College than the kids at Shitty University who happened to be business majors.”

“I’m afraid you don’t have the practical experience we need.”

“Bullshit. Everything I need for the job from a technical perspective can be taught in 2 weeks max. Until that point, Shitty U grad might have a tiny edge, but after that I blow him out of the water with my much stronger skill set.”

“But you didn’t major in business.”

They depend completely on the school.

Universities with separate undergrad business schools (Penn, NYU, Michigan, Notre Dame, some others) usually have pretty legit programs. Universities that have undergrad business majors within the broader “liberal arts” school…most of those are less serious.

Michigan counts IB HL credits for distribution requirements, but not AP credits.

Of course, most of the advisors don’t actually know what an “IB” is, so I didn’t know this until after I took physics and got my ass kicked; otherwise I could have used my score from HL chemistry and saved myself the trouble.

Also, IB SL classes get you nothing, which is bullshit – it’s not like Math Methods is easier than Calc AB.

I routinely had four technical classes a semester.

The one I remember for sure was fall sophomore year (mostly because I had a block of four classes in a row Monday and Wednesday starting at 8:00):
ECE 302/303 (Electronic Circuits + lab)
PHY 294H (Honors Physics 2)
ECE 230 (Digital Logic)
ME 201 (Thermodynamics)
Some philosophy class

I think spring junior year was even worse. Among the classes were HST 414 (World War II), ECE 410 (VLSI), ECE 320 (Power Systems); I don’t remember what the other two were offhand, but I think they were ECE 416 (Digital Control) and ECE 474 (Semiconductor Physics). And I was grading for ECE 313 (Control Systems) that semester too.

If they get to 8-10 in conference and don't lose their opener in the conference tourney, there's a chance.

They might need to get to either 9-9 or pull a quarterfinal upset, depending on how things play out elsewhere, but their non-conference is fairly respectable, they’ve got some good quality wins, and no terrible losses.

It's one thing if you're in NYC or Chicago - then saying "I'm from Detroit" is relatively appropriate.

But if you’re at U of M – less than a half hour from the actual city of Detroit – you should probably break out which suburb you actually lived in when you’re introducing yourself to people you meet on campus.

When out of town I usually say “the Detroit area”.
