Here we are talking about being Merit Scholars, etc. (BTW I didn't even make the tournament when it came to being considered for Merit Scholar) and here comes the shocking, shocking revelation about the Minnesota basketball players having an academic advisor taking tests and writing papers for them.

I wonder why the professors didn't pick up on this, since some of the paper topics written by these men basketball players included The Menstrual Cycle and Oppression of Women in the Workplace.

To think that institutions would stoop to such a level just to keep kids eligible.

Im not mad at you. Didn't anyone ever pull your hair? I'm teasing you. It's what I do; because I'm a bad person, and a girl beat me up on the way to school in the second grade. (True.)

I was, in fact, ultra-impressed when I read how and when you got the law degree. Perhaps the most amazing achievement I've read about on this board.

I am amazed you live with uhm that woman whoever she was/is, and the rest of the stuff.

I was even thinking of the word Brahmin in your context.

I also think you are sentient, if that's what we call it. So, I'm impressed.

So there.
