That's kinda neat. It's those small things that build the community....

That seems to be how most admissions departments are these days... "nobody is coming here and it's their fault." I've heard it time and time...

[SW_Mustang]

Now that you mention it, my academic department never reached out to me either - they were very small and going through a transition period when I graduated,...

I wanted to do something similar out here. I figured if we could get an average of 100 extra fans on gameday to start, we'd generate a little more much...

[SW_Mustang]

I totally agree. Students maintain their allegiances to the big D1 schools. There's nothing wrong with that, but I think students should take pride in...

I've posted it various times in various threads, but I wrote a letter to (almost) every NSIC player on an active NFL roster. I didn't get around to Brandon...

College prestige, and rankings, is a bizarre thing. Every school wants to be in the same conversation as the big boys. It's a very lucrative business...

I found this discussion on another forum that I read semi-regularly, though I'm not a member of it. It's short, and most of it is your average forum dribble...

[SW_Mustang]

I think it's just a situation of "right place, right time, right people" - they didn't win a national title before Mel got to Northwest. Before...

In terms of football, we do better recruiting the Twin Cities than we do our namesake. It could be because the D2 talent pool is better in the metro than...

As far as I'm aware he has not left the program....

[SW_Mustang]

They want to be known for their high-class academics and not a low-brow sport like football. It's intellectual gatekeeping. If poetry writing got the...

[SW_Mustang]

Yup! Only SMSU in the country. There may have been some overlap with Missouri State before their name change, though I wonder if we didn't change ours...

[SW_Mustang]

That's it? Wow.

Handful was quite generous....

[SW_Mustang]

They have a handful of D3 schools, but I totally get your point. No NAIA, no D2... just JUCO and D1....

[SW_Mustang]

Towards the end of my degree, I quit caring about the superficial stuff. It doesn't matter what piece of paper a professor has, or even what work experience...

[SW_Mustang]

One of our alumni had an important role at the Fox News mothership - he came back to campus to speak with us a couple years ago. It was really surreal,...

[SW_Mustang]

I think most people see private as automatically better than public - probably because they are more expensive, therefore more "exclusive" and...

[SW_Mustang]

That's always cool when the media genuinely cares about the small programs. It's one way to help create atmosphere....

[SW_Mustang]

I get the impression that some of those private schools just like going about their business. You either know about them, or you don't - but they don't...
