Yeah. And then there's the fact that it's freaking Stanford and her starting pay after college will likely be more than a comparable graduate from UM will command after a decade in the working world. I think Stanford sells itself without kicking sand in the face of the UM women's basketball coach.
Actually, being a Stanford "grad" I can say thanks to people like yourself that might be true.
But, lets see what the real stats, are.....undergrads at Stanford who do not go on to advanced programs might actually earn less than the counterpart at UM....It is the Grad programs at Stanford that shine.....and the athletic programs that are funded extremely well......you can do that with billions in your endowment.....Now, just what your post has to do with the Lady Griz playing Pittsburgh, I don't get...but I give the slow and ponderous Lady Griz a good chance for an upset this year if Brittany Lohmann plays better than she did this
week end, and Ena remains as quick and talented as anyone on the Pitt team...Morales doesn't strike me as a great player, more than a good player in a bad league...she is very slow but can hit if she has the time.....still, she now has that Ena girl to help out....very impressive player...Go, Lady Griz! This one is winnable....
OK, pal. I'm ready for some real stats. Let it rip when you find some. And learn how to spell and punctuate, which might make your bogus Stanford story more plausible.
Here's a few tips:
Weekend is one word. In a sentence, you might say you spent the weekend on eGriz pretending you were a Stanford graduate.
Let's is the proper conjunction of let us. Using lets where let's is needed makes you look like a dope.
Yourself is a reflexive pronoun. It shouldn't be used when trying to establish your superiority with a well-aimed dig like "I can say thanks to people like yourself that might be true." Thanks to people like you, I can always find a dope on eGriz pretending to be something he's not.
Ellipses come in threes, not fours. They're used when you're quoting material and want to omit part of the quote. If you want to omit part of your own posting, there's no need to use ellipses. Stop typing or use the backspace key.
A learned person knows that it's bad form to quote one's own self. Quotes indicate a writer is speaking or writing another's words.
For example, if I cited your use of the term "grad," I would put it in quotations to indicate it was yours. If the word had not been previously introduced by someone else in the dialogue stream and I was introducing it, then putting it in quotes would be stupid.
Also, the first word at the beginning of a sentence always begins with an uppercase letter. Lowercase words in the remainder of the sentence unless they are proper nouns. You shouldn't capitalize the first letter in the word "grad" if it's in the middle of a sentence, even if you're talking about a Stanford grad.
I know the tips I'm giving you aren't college material. Most of this stuff is delivered to students by seventh grade. However, I know if you don't have a firm grasp on simple spelling and punctuation, your application to Stanford will be tossed in the trash.
If my daughter had offers to play basketball from Stanford and Montana, I would urge her to select the Stanford offer, even if I was a Montana coach. I wouldn't have to denigrate coach Selvig to make my case.
