IU is a middling academic school

Married. Two kids. I still play soccer with her brother. Her uncle was honored at one of the US National team games last year and I sent her a message. Received a warm reply. Short. But she’s just an old mom now

The line between old mom and sultry cougar is a gray one, my friend.

Those Double Ds are probably down around her navel now.

Bet she's still dirty, tho.

She had the craziest family ever. Dad was a cop in the hood. Mom a grocery checker. She was the youngest and never even applied to college. Sister one year older had downs. Then a brother who was an alcoholic and drafted to play pro baseball and soccer. Total jock. And another brother who got his doctorate in nuclear physics from mit and was a total nerd.

I’m in love. Set me up.

This is the kind of thing I’m talking about. Not sure why IU couldn’t crack this list if the university and state prioritized it:

The New Ivies: As Employers Sour On The Super-Elite, These 20 Colleges Shine

The Ivy League is losing its standing as America’s producer of great talent. Here are the schools producing the hard-working high achievers that employers crave.

There are other schools at IU. I don’t really care about Kelley.

And if I’m hiring a BA/BS, yeah I’m going to think the kid from NW, UCLA, Michigan etc is likely to be smarter overall.

I’ve worked with two different CPAs who scored in the top 5 on the CPA exam. Both turned out to be piss poor CPAs. “Smarter” doesn’t mean they’re the best person for the job.

At one point I worked with two MIT grads. I am definitely am not an MIT grad. One of them was fired for knowing everything but not being able to do anything.

Of course the other was "Sheldon" with good (or at least better) social skills.

In the case of the two I worked with Social Skills were one issue. The second issue for one was he had the tax code memorized but didn’t have the ability to apply it to help clients.

Ranking Big Ten schools by most recent academic supremacy!

To me, this is more disappointing than our decades of irrelevance in athletics.

Not me... doesn't surprise me at all. 94 grad ... never thought IU was all that great of an academic institution...

Of course not - we all went there.

But we've never lost a tailgate!
