  1. It does for an anonymous person, and if it's from Harvard. UT and even Duke is neither. Being a high-profile athlete opens many more doors. That's the entire point of the argument. *who I know you think it sounds slick but the nominative case is more proper. The subject of the clause is the people who graduated from Vanderbilt. Engineering 101.
  2. The fact that a non-zero quantity of people "has ever made big dollars in Advertising, Public Relations" does not mean any given person in A/PR will have likelihood of making big dollars. Crazy, I know. That Bayes dude knew everything.
  3. You: All Communications degrees matter. How dare you besmirch its good name! Also you: LSU alum work in sanitation. Top shelf logic there chief.
  4. Do they teach about anecdotes and statistical outliers in Communicatoins? Bill Gates made big dollars as a college drop-out. I advise all students to drop out. Academic credentials matter to senior WR #49 Thatcher Milton, who will not be hired on the grounds of being Thatcher Milton alone. A degree from Duke (as opposed to, say, LSU), or one from the best Communicatoins school in America, is not meaningful to a person of Maalik's profile. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
  5. For all the reasons that inform his choice of transfer destination -- skill development for possible NFL career, getting more NIL cash, joining a more high profile or successful team, etc -- the 'goodness' of a Duke degree matters the least.
  6. And Chipotle is a top tier fast-casual national chain. So what? An undergrad degree from Moodys by itself lands the holder a coveted job as... assistant digital content producer on the KXAN website? If he's a 3rd-stringer studying business with an offer to play for the UPenn Quakers or Alabama Tide... yeah, ride the the pine at Penn. Easy. If he's a starter with no prospect of an NFL career, he's going to be offered non football opportunities by connected alums who liked the fact of him being a QB, that's as good at Florida as it is at Duke. For a guy like Maalik, his football fame generates more value than the relative brand power of a Duke degree.
  7. People always say this about athletes but most of their degrees don't mean shit. He majored in Comm at UT and Psych at Duke, which by themselves aren't strong degrees. His non-athletic potential comes from a network high-powered alums, which exists in many sufficiently large schools.

    Getting old sucks

    i was convinced my metabolism took a dive the day i hit 30, which it only did slightly, but when i hit the mike gundy it became precipitous. some days i could skip dinner just snacking on a few things. the other strange thing is i suddenly became sensitive to caffeine. used to drink loads of the stuff for the taste, never in my life knew it was like to feel a 'caffeine buzz'. now i could take a single nespresso (very mild 6g of ground coffee) and feel perceivably wired. also i tried a zyn the other day and had to sit down for a while lmao.
  9. you're really letting that boss get to you
  10. amusing to remember a time before smartphones where people would just believe any ol shit if it sounded mildly plausible. in college someone once shared a factoid that the most consumed protein globally was actually goat/sheep. we're western centric so we would think poultry and pork but goat/sheep are common in africa, middle east, south asia, etc, where they're really populous so globally it's #1. and i actually believed that stupid shit for years and might have even repeated it to others. without running off to find a computer or rifle through encyclopedias...how would you even check? people are still just as gullible today, but they have no excuse anymore.
  11. Whats funny is someone could think they got lost and clicked in the wrong thread
  12. can maalik come back and starts
  13. My favorite part was when nobody could have predicted what was going to happen
  14. seven is very OG
  15. Vanilla. Bought shares at 123 when they shit the bed on earnings. I think thats overexaggerated and theyre undervalued relative to peers
  16. Target at 137. LFG boys!!!
  17. I like the sport of soccer but having to use the legs to do both running around and controlling the ball is such a stupid and awkward idea at the abstract and aesthetic level. It’s intentionally handicapping the human motor control. Like what if theres basketball…but players can only move around by handwalking.
  18. Just bought a BMC w/ eTap/AXS. December's a great time to get a deal on a bike. Hadn't done a serious ride in over 5 years. New baby in the house, etc etc excuses. Won't ride for many months due to snow but when spring comes will probably throw 35 G Ones for it to do mixed road/farm track duties. Probably getting rid of the Colnago CX that almost never got touched -- goodnight sweet prince.
  19. “Thats literally Anthony Richardson”
