| 2 days 5 hours ago | Could UM benefit from the Kiffin-Meyer feud? |
Although Kiffin and Meyer have supposedly "made up," I would guess that there will be some words they will communicate to Craven about each others' schools. Could UM claim the "moral high ground" and come away looking much better than either SC or Ohio? http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedia/photo_gallery/0905/sports.fe... |

| 1 week 1 day ago | His father played for the Patriots |
I think he was a DB under Parcells (the before brady or belichick era). I think he was OK--at least I don't remember Parcells being down on him like he was on that former Ohio DB (Terry Glenn), who Parcells used to call "she." |

1. too good to just have just one team in the NC game or 2. too bad to occasionally give up home field for prelims ie to play in the north

Alhtough I like what Dave Brandon has done for UM, his letter seemed a bit disingenous, especially after I read the heavily redacted original version: Have you seen it?
"If anyone still believes that the game should be about the student-athletes (And, I do!
then they would quickly learn how much the players look forward to traveling to unique locations where many of them have never been ...

but I weigh the student-athlete experience heavily in any of these discussions.

regression to the mean.
You need to research the record of the subsequent season for any team going 11-2. A decline in the win pct is likley to occur merely by chance (regression to the mean). The increase in SOS makes it even more likely. |

We were undefeated before we lost by 1pt to Stanford (which is a lot closer to Pasadena than UM is). |
| 1 week 1 day ago | In the last half century |
UM has an average deficit of 2.9 points in the RB game---almost exactly the (3pt) advantage ascribed tof the home field.* Moreover, the difference between playing on a visitor's home field and playing on one's own homefield is huge (about a 6 pt change in the point spread advantage). Is that really worth the "privilege" of going to SoCal and inhaling smog for one winter week? You'd have to be nuts, in any other circumstance, to give the opposing team an extra 6 points. Does, Delaney want the BigTen to become the Big Patsy? Is this the kind of commissioner we really want?
*though UM is about +2.9 overall, including the era prior to 1950. Admittedly, playing at the RB obviously is not as much of an advantage for Wash as it would be for USC or UCLA; however, it is an advantage nonetheless. |

Have you seen the movie about the monster that ate Rhode Island and spit out Providence? That was a joke going around about 35 years ago. However, since then, Providence has transformed itself into one of most appealing cities on the east coast. It's quieter than Boston but has many of the best attractions of major cities, like theatre, music, and other cultural events. It's a little like Ann Arbor, in that it is a medium size city that is home to a great school, which has a beautiful campus (Brown) In addition , it has several other interesting universities--including perhaps the best design school in the country (RISD). For children, there is an excellent private school adjacent to the Brown campus, though the public schools may vary in quality more than a place like Ann Arbor. Your wife might like Providence if she enjoys interesting little neighborhoods to visit. Also, it has such great proximity to Boston and NY (only about 3 1/2 hr by Amtrak--which includes a beatiful ride along the ocean, past Mystic and New Haven). Personally, I like Providence--not as much as Ann Arbor but more than many West Coast cities and even more than Boston and Cambridge (primarily because it is quieter and still has many of multicultural and educational advantages). However, if you and your wife grew up in the midwest and have never lived in the Boston-Providence area, then you will need to get used to a more formal cultural. I do know people who have found it to be less neighborly than the midwest; and the status hierarchy is not for everybody. It might be a great thing to have on your resume. You could make a lot of good contacts, learn a lot, and become more visible in your profession. Getting a position here could also be a good stepping stone if you want to get more involved in academics. At the same time, though, you also need to consider the time you would have to actually develop your career at different places; and some positions at Ivy League schools will just make you a work horse. I would ask a lot of questions about who previously had the position you are interviewing for and ideally speak to that person. Anyway, you must be doing well to be a finalist at Brown for your interviews. Congrats, best of luck and keep us posted on how it's going. |
