    I don't think it's a world class institution. Nation class, yes.

    the 90% foreigners in my engineering class disagree

    Sorry, but to be world-class you would need to crack the top 20. Scroll down to the bottom of this BBC report: http://www.bbc.com/news/education-24024767
    Sure the UW has a fine engineering dept, but not all the other depts. are all that great, and class sizes with casts of thousands diminish the interaction.

    I remember a lot of guys on that 2000 era team that were really good guys ... there were also more than a few idiots as well.

    Back then, I didn't think less of the team or how much I wanted it to win because of the bad guys. There was a member of the 2000 team that came up from behind me on the basketball court and punched me in the back of the head. There were more than a few meatheads. But at the same time, there were a handful of other guys on that team that I got along with very well and it was a lot easier to root for those guys to have success.

    Take a guy like Jameis Winston. He's clearly a talented player and we all wouldn't have a problem if he was the QB of the UW from a talent standpoint. Now, he's got his off the field issues and comes across as something between a meathead and an idiot at times. Would I not root for the UW if he was the QB? Of course not. But at the same time, I'm not going to sing his praises as the greatest thing since sliced bread either.

    Same thing with Cyler Miles. He's probably the best QB on the roster, he's done some stupid things, paid for them, and earned his right back on the team. I hold no ill will to him. But at the same time, I'm not going to sit there and embrace him as this great kid that is doing everything the right way. I don't care who you are, beating up women isn't something that you just make a "mistake" at.

    As long as they aren't raping or murdering, I couldn't care less. Miles did one stupid thing. There are probably multiple players on UW who have done far worse things this offseason. The difference is they didn't get caught and didn't have String breaking cameras, and chasing down helpless 12's. When did Miles beat a woman? You need to read the story and police report again. To my knowledge, Miles did nothing but talk a little shit and possibly instigate.

    That's TWO Husky hype videos in a row without Crazy Larry. I'm starting to get worried...

    Interaction a.k.a. you need the teacher to bail your ass out on a program/project.

    I have a feeling this happened to you a lot.

    Did he at least give you a courtesy reacharound?
