    What Schools Are You An Alumnus Of?
    I think it'd be interesting to know the geographic locations, school sizes, and perhaps courses of study a lot of our members have. Alumni only please. Malcontented kids still in their college dorms like donjuan who think they're semi-smart while they're surrounded by a bunch of other punk kids whol also don't have the brains or social capacity for the real world don't count. Not who you grew up a fan of because they're in your home state, or what school were you registered for a freshman semester before dropping out due to alcoholism , what (if any) school or schools are you a card carrying alumnus of? Cheers...

        I'm a graduate of Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Florida with a Bachelor of Arts in International Communications, with minors in French, English and Criminology.

        My college sadly didn't have a football team - its best "claim to fame" comes from the golf team as three alumni are part of the PGA tour:
        Lee Jansen
        Marco Dawson
        Rocco Mediate.


        Discover why we’re #1 in hands-on learning and how you’ll put your knowledge to work through research, internships, performance opportunities, and other real-world experiences!

            Cheers Louisvillekid1, hope you've had a good/profitable last few weeks.

            Too many good guys on here to not drop by Super Bowl week. A few weeks off was just what the doctor ordered. With no moderation you just have to be willing to trade barbs on here if you refuse to use the ignore button lol. GL this weekend...

              Hardly a malcontented kid but your obsession with me is quite amusing. In a year I'll be an alumnus of CU-Boulder.

                  I have a bachelor of applied science from Queen's University in Kingston. I am also a licensed Professional Engineer.

                  The University was established by Royal Charter of Queen Victoria in 1841 - twenty-six years before Canadian confederation. Classes were first held in 1842. The earliest degree-granting institution in the united Province of Canada, and the first to establish a student government, Queen's has reflected and helped shape Canadian values and policies, educating many of the country's most notable political and cultural figures. Also Kingston was the home town of Sir John A. MacDonald.


                  Queen’s is a leading, research-intense university in Canada offering an inclusive, transformative education that will prepare you to make a global impact.

                    Cool guys. I wouldn't mind the Costa Rican sun right now Shark (or Lakeland, FL for that matter). Sportsgirl that's a lot of impressive golfers out of one school. I've always been familiar with the Lakeland "Dreadnaughts," but apparently there's other sports picked up by the drinking water down there too...

                        Everyone knows the Horned Frogs. Great school. Transylvania U, however, was where I thought Dracula graduated from

                                  And you have an obsession with being an asshole to everyone and being a smartass punk. I had a PM telling me that there was going to be light moderation, and to come back ready to shoot at the hip everytime I saw you taking a potshot at anyone (which I see you've called several respected posters retarded in the last two days). Maybe they can ask you to face up to your word and you'll pussy out from them too. You're lucky you found this place, because you wouldn't last two seconds elsewhere...

                                  I thought this thread was for ALUMNI only and specifically said for people like you to stay out. That said, CU's a great school and Boulder's a cool town...

                                    I really love all sports - except NASCAR, which I don't actually consider a sport - but my true lifelong passion is the NFL. I told my dad when I was 8 that I wanted to be the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers when I grew up. I'm still waiting for the call ...

                                      I wouldnt consider boxing a sport - but I guess others do.

                                        Northeastern's a good school that's been known to pull a basketball upset from time to time RJT. I should have known you had a journalism background...

                                        Pico Michigan is one of the best public schools (public Ivy?) around (and fun too I'm sure). Damn, and to have an engineering AND computer science degree from there gets you this....

                                        Great, great degree. Wish I could say the same for the athletics in A.A. lately

                                            UCLA - where we alumni dance daily on the grave of Steve Lavin, despite the fact that he's not yet dead.

                                                  Northeastern's a good school that's been known to pull a basketball upset from time to time RJT. I should have known you had a journalism background...
                                                  Yes, very respectable basketball program, although they're a bit down this season (really miss Ron Everhart as coach, as well as moving from America East to the more competitive CAA). Not a huge school in terms of athletics, but they're more than adequate. Jim Calhoun - longtime coach at NU before moving to UCONN. The late Reggie Lewis was a great player for the Huskies. Not bad at all.

                                                      I am suprised they're this good. Their weight room at Cabot center isn't that much bigger than the gym in my apartment complex. I still have not had the chance to see them live at mathews arena, but they pretty much covered everytime i bet on them...so i like the huskies

                                                        And you have an obsession with being an asshole to everyone and being a smartass punk. I had a PM telling me that there was going to be light moderation, and to come back ready to shoot at the hip everytime I saw you taking a potshot at anyone (which I see you've called several respected posters retarded in the last two days). Maybe they can ask you to face up to your word and you'll pussy out from them too. You're lucky you found this place, because you wouldn't last two seconds elsewhere...
                                                        I don't see it as taking potshots. I'm more interested in correcting flawed thinking, as I've said in the past. If you have a problem with my arguments, please debate them rather than encouraging others to try and fight me.
