TontoKowalski {l Wrote}:The irony is that both UMBC and UMD-Baltimore are competently administered (UMBC exceptionally so) and somehow the merger's shots were all called by UMD-CP, with state backing. I'm against it over the long term... UMD's professional schools in Baltimore (law, medicine, nursing, dentistry, etc) were all doing fine without Wallace Loh involved.

Is that really suprising? "Competently admistered" is code word for "performance-based" and "fiscally responsibe"... realiities that can be regularly ignored by utopian college administrators and governments laden with Democratic Socialists.

No surprise at all - UM-Baltimore has a much tighter focus and while the med school has research affiliations, it's prestige is from the high quality of the practicing physicians it produces (top 25 med school for clinical for years - nowhere to be found on research) - the focus is on education, not bullshit. It also helps that having Hopkins across town means that there's almost no point in gunning for top 25 in research; but if you notice, that's all that assclown Loh talks about. Research and dollars.

UMD medicine has been around a loooooong time - there's a professor there named Milford Foxwell who tells hilarious stories from the school's history, like when the med school used to pay disreputable grave-robbers for corpses and a mob of Baltimorons once showed up, stormed the med school, and stole cadavers to bury them back in the ground because supposedly someone's wife had been lifted. In an era when schools are anointing themselves with phony histories, UMD medicine actually has a real history worth discussing. Makes the affiliation with College Park's bullshit all the more execrable.

UMBC consistently punches way above its weight class in places where it cares to. Hrabowski, by contrast to Loh, is the real deal and Freeman should be running the entire UMD system. Would cost a lot less and put a lot of admins back on the street where they belong while focusing on improving the quality of the education.

Her and blog boy used to meet at Brown's Motel on the outskirts of Ellicot City and ravage each other's awkward, hairy bodies twice a week.

claver2010 {l Wrote}:yeah that program is in complete chaos with players walking out of his meetings and others publicly trashing the decision

i'd say it's time to pick at the carcass of their recruiting class there's only a little overlap, they have the 2nd worst class in b1g (247 ranks even rutgres higher)

is there anything gheyer than 2 punters fighting?

Dick Rosenthal {l Wrote}:It is interesting that the Aussie Rules punter beat the shit out of the Randy Edsall recruited older punter. And this is consistent with everything I have been told—the older players, either recruited by Edsall (with UMD guaranteeing their offers after Durkin came aboard) or from the failing pipeline Edsall had created—were total pussies, locker room cancers and lazy, malingerers who were hostile to the superior athletes recruited in the freshman and sophomore and part of the junior classes—the athletes that actually beat Texas twice. And that was the Durkin split on the team—the soft Edsall players angry that Durkin demanded something from them and the younger guys who embraced the challenge. And while McNairs death is a tragedy, there was a sense among the young guys that he was a fat, out of shape malingerer and the coaches couldn’t be faulted for thinking he was trying to shirk given his past history and that his death was more the product of him being grossly out of shape as opposed to brutal and cruel practices.

At the risk of shouting at clouds, unless you have served in the military, if you are an member of the Millenial or post Millenial generation, we’d be better off as a society if you offed yourself. I sincerely hope the Chinese refuse to abide by the Geneva Convention when that balloon goes off and the draftees in that particular war are absolutely brutalized or we can make them go over the top in Somme-like frontal assaults. That herd definitely needs some big time culling.

My sense is there are folks in the AAC who view this as a chance to upgrade from UConn.
