What school did you or are you graduating from (or the school of...I had to go to work, asshole)? Not what schools do you root for, but which is your alma mater?

I graduated from SMU (which I know is strange since I grew up in Ft. Worth and root for TCU) (except that lots of you aren't from Texas or at least don't know what I am talking about with the SMU/TCU thing), home of the Death Penalty.

Life U

I think i failed :)

i'm a graduate of "get a job you lazy bum U"

University of Southern California. Only way I could go was because I had a full scholarship for academics. Before, USC actually recruited me (to raise their national statistics for various scores) I didn't know it was possible to get a full ride for academics (I was hoping to get a ride for football before I blew out a knee my Junior year).

Well let's see......

1.5 years at Eastern Michigan University
1.0 years at Terra Commuity College (just so I didn't have to pay loans off)
3.0 years at Food Town in Fremont, OH......


Life doesn't always work out how you wanted.....

PS- I post a lot more when I'm drunk

Heidelberg College

American University

Now attending Miami University (OH).

Good lord, I've attended six colleges. Of course, CSU doesn't count since I hated it there...

Hey mrushh, I was wondering, concerning the SMU Football Death Penalty, are you aware of any good sites or pages online with the story behind the whole situation/mess?

I haven't been able to find too much info except a brief sentence or two on what happened and the end result..

Thanks!

That's what I said...or typed!

Most feminine football mascot ever - some guy dressed in a blue kilt and, of course, hose.

They regularly make the list of worst college mascots, along with the Banana Slugs and few others I can't recall. I don't even remember how they got the name, to tell you the truth, since I was only there for one year. The school is in Clinton, SC, which was a pit of a place, really. And I got that impression in 1989-90, before I'd ever heard of Bill Clinton. Appropriate namesake, though!

University of Pennsylvania, Class of 98.

With a little help, we could be the first team to clinch an NCAA bid on Friday night.

Havn't seen enough Bison/Sioux games. Being in Cincinnati, the only way is if someone in the area hosts the satalite broadcast of the football game. Drove to Indy for that once, but otherwise, I just have to rely on the web and reports from home.

I wonder if they will be able to keep the rivalry up when NDSU goes D I-AA in 2004? It would be ashame to lose all that history.

MylesKnight,

You can't find it. What a shock. :) Seriously, I have no idea where you could read about it unless you go to the Dallas Morning News and look in their archives or something.

What do you want to know? If it is not to specific, maybe I could help.

Dola...

BTW, if we are putting all our cards on the table, how about:

1) University of the South (Sewanee, if you ever heard of it) for a year, stuck on top of a mountain
2) TCU, one summer
3) TCJC- Tarrant County Junior College, Ft. Worth to get GPA high enough to go to a 4-year university
4) SMU- BS, Psych
5) Richland College- Dallas County juco for computers
6) University of Texas, Dallas- mathematics and education for teaching certificate

Undergrad: Clemson University

Law Degree: University of South Carolina. God how I hate it when people run around shouting "Go Cocks!!!!" or "You can't lick our Cocks" or when South Carolina is on defense, "Stiffen up Cocks."

I was hoping to find an article(s) that gave the whole story of how everything happened, from start to finish and what went on behind the scenes while the program was shut down for 2 years.. You know, kind of a investigative/documentary type of article or story.. I'll check out the Dallas Morning News..

I'm surprised after all these years there hasn't been some kind of book put out by someone regarding all of this. People write books about every damn thing imaginable, why not one about the SMU Football Death Penalty?

Thanks!!

I actually laughed out loud at "Wanker State." Ya happy, Crap? :D

And I have indeed heard of Sewanee. A friend of mine in high school went there (majored in English, I believe). I can't remember what prompted him to go there - perhaps a scholarship of some kind. Kind of an odd choice for a Washingtonian.

Sophomore at Rutgers University...

Actually on track to graduate in 4 years!

Didn't Sports Illustrated do an article on SMU and their difficulty in recovering from the Death Penalty several months ago? I'm pretty sure they went over the details behind it, but I can't remember how in depth they got.

Hope this helps...

I'm a Rambling Wreck from Georgia Tech.

[and a hell of an engineer]

a helluva helluva helluva helluva helluva'n engineer.
Like all my jolly good fellows, I drink my whiskey clear.
I'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech and a helluva'n engineer.

Oh if I had a daughter sir I'd dress her in white and gold
and put her on the campus to cheer the brave and bold,
but if I had a son, sir, I tell you what he'd do,
He would yell, "To HELL WITH GEORGIA"
like his Daddy used to do.

Oh I wish I had a Barrel o' Rum and Sugar Three Thousand Pounds,
A college bell to put it in; a clapper to stir it round.
I'd drink to all the fellows who come from far and near,
I'm a ramblin', gamblin' hell of an engineer!

I didn't go to Tech, but I just wanted to finish the best fight song in the land.

In regards to the request for info about Tulane... I can give some information as I'm a doctor here at Tulane and work at the Tulane Student Health Center. It is a MAJOR party school in my estimation that has a pretty good national reputation. Many people overdo the partying which leads to them needing to leave after a year (secondary to academic problems - not saying this is what happened to the above poster, just something I've noticed in general.) I'd say about 5-10 percent of the student body leaves after a year as a result of this. The more amazing thing is the number of people I see who are 8th year Seniors still fighting the good fight :eek: . Of course, there are plenty of students who come here serious about their education and do well and go on to nice jobs nationally.

4) SMU- BS,

Truer words were never printed. :D :D :D

I had thought about Tulane for grad school, but decided against it for this reason. It would have been too easy to be distracted.

Truer words were never printed, indeed, HF P.

Why do you think my dynasty is TCU and not SMU?

HM: Did you really go to Rice? The reason I ask, is because they aren't currently a big rival of UT or anything (as far as I know), so it wouldn't make a lot of sense to post that logo otherwise.

Let me explain how the college rivalry system in Texas works.

The University of Texas claims that Texas A&M isn't their real rival, Oklahoma is.

Texas A&M University claims that Texas Tech isn't their real rival, Texas is.

Texas Tech claims that....

Yes, I have an undergrad degree from Rice.

Yes, I am a diehard Longhorns fan.

No, it has nothing to do with a rivalry.

In a nutshell, Rice is a more prestigious school. Texas is no slouch by any stretch of the imagination, but it is not Rice. Also, I had friends who chose Texas and I wanted to avoid them so that I could focus more on studying and less on partying. It did not work because I just met new friends in Houston. :D

Rice helped enhance my career, but my veins still pump burnt orange blood and have since I was a toddler.

PS.. Congrats on being accepted to Rice. Not many people are. Great job!!!!

No offense to any fans or alumn of Georgia Tech, but I can assure you Rice is a MUCH more prestigious school and will look MUCH better on your resume. I think you would be crazy to not go to Rice if you can get in.

The same thing applies to other prestigious schools like Stanford, Duke, MIT, etc. Yes, the Ivy League schools count too. ;)
