OT: Grade inflation

[jnachod]

This is fantastic!

Where the hell did you find that?  ::laugh::  ::laugh::  ::laugh::

::banana::  Justin, I bow down to your internet prowling.

[rhovorka]

That is so decidedly NOT Off-topic.

Anyone care to make a big "www.gradeinflation.org" sign?  Or any sign mocking the 4-pack?

I'll leave the www.gradeinflation.org sign to Justin if he wants it but I'll definitely have a sign about their record and "talentless" team.  Can we turn this thread into a sign idea thread?  I always love those!!

The link was on the princeton review's message board that my younger brother was using to research colleges.  Apparently the site www.safetyschool.org also works.

[rhovorka]

A Jam/Jelly/condiment sign would be great too.  

Ah...Mazz the Rat and his boys along with the HU ticket office sure have given us plenty of sign material. :-}

"Mazz: Smuckers' fan of the game"

Don't forget to taunt them about being penalized for coming out of their locker room 10 seconds late.  ::laugh::

And of course the fact that Princeton beat them... TWICE!  :-D

Just thought these links were amusing as well:

And apparently, MIT likes to get in on the action (I love what they did to the Harvard seal :-})

How about "It's not the size of your PACKAGE that counts...It's what you do with it!"  (With a list of all the games in the ticket package and the results, starting with the loss to Princeton--have they won any of the "package games"?)

[gtsully]

Yeah, they won the UMass game - I was really hoping they would lose just so I could bring a "Harvard pick-four = 0-2" sign, or something along those lines.  Oh well...

[Bahnstorm]

Someone should submit the Yale and Harvard grade inflation and saftey school links to www.Fark.com and get some press. They seem to enjoy links that make fun of the Ivies.
This thread made my day.:-D

I forwarded the link to a Colgate grad who tracked this down for www.gradeinflation.org:

 just checked whois.  It seems we have a bitter Yalie (perhaps rejected at Harvard):
