Nate Herbig, 2016 OL

[creepycoug]

For you two dumb fucks, of course I was not referring to a recruit. But Stanford turns down kids with at or near perfect scores routinely. The rest is for color, but the point is, getting in there is like getting into Harvard.

And even recruits don't easily walk in. But of course it's a much different achievement with sports, especially football.

Chill the fuck out cabron.

My people have suffered too much for you to use words and phrases from our languech. Show some respec ese.

From what I've read, he could have easily gotten into Stanford. It's more about the Tree not having room for him.

My man, do some research. Nobody "easily" gets into Stanford. You can pop a perfect score on the SAT (thereby putting you objectively in the top 1% nationally) and be valedictorian on a transcript of classes that only smart kids take, and have cured a disease and built a system for running water for a village in Nicaragua, all that, and still not get in.

And anybody who knows their shit will tell you what I wrote is correct. Furd is one of the toughest schools to get into period. It's harder than all but two of the Ivy League schools. EVERYONE wants to go there.

There are more brilliant kids than there is space. That's just the deal. They're in their own league.

What makes them unique among schools in their class is that they are a real division 1 program. If that kid decom'd to consider my alma mater and Wazzu because he's hearing voices, someone needs to check him in to a hospital. They have medicine for that.

I wonder how many of the football players got perfect scores on their SAT's and were valedictorians in their respective classes? I am sure they were all reading Being and Time in high school and were taking courses in real analysis at their local university.

Likely zero. Referring to admissions generally. 5% or lower admit rate. UW hovers in the mid 50% range with a less talented applicant pool.

Think about it.

Admittedly not my most artfully constructed point. What I am trying to say is, nobody walks in there. The non-recruit needs to be almost perfect AND win the lottery of chance, and the recruit needs to be a solid student. Nowhere near what the future computer science kid who will program for Google, but even the football program requires fairly high standards. I don't know what they are precisely today, but what I've heard kicked around is 3.4 minimum with appropriate coursework (not built on wood shop, etc.) and a comparable test score. It goes up from there for the other sports perhaps sans basketball.

This is all I'm saying. And since none of us likely knows the academis story with Herbig, it's entirely possible that he couldn't cut it. I'm not saying that, but kids who were heading to Furd don't normally de-commit to look at WSU w/o a story of some kind.

If you were not referring to recruits, then why the fuck do you post this shit on a football bored?

Meant to post this here:

If you think God is telling you to decommit from Stanford so you can get a better look at Wazzu, kill yourself.

I can't improve on this, so I won't bother trying.

Way to reassign the quote to the wrong person. You made @Swaye Plagarism.Shit.Fucko.

Thanks. My dad can finally have that surgery we've been saving up for.
