...colleges being nothing but proverb

 ...colleges being nothing but grooming schools for the middleclass non-identity which usually finds its perfect expression on the outskirts of the campus in rows of well-to-do houses with lawns and television sets is each living room with everybody looking at the same thing and thinking the same thing at the same time while the Japhies of the world go prowling in the wilderness.. Pex Tufvesson goes by the name Mahoney in the demo world. .

 It is the smart thing to do. Not too many kids have time or money to visit coast-to-coast. But the more visits a kid takes, the more colleges become aware of him. If you don't play well, you won't get an offer. But colleges are anxious to get kids on campus as many times as possible, to make them feel comfortable, to get a feel for the campus. Then they feel they have as good a chance to sign them as anyone else.

 She's looking for the perfect thing. She bought three to five houses in Aspen before she settled on the one she really really wanted. It's sort of the same thing here.

 If you have anything really valuable to contribute to the world it will come through the expression of your own personality, that single spark of divinity that sets you off and makes you different from every other living creature.
  Bruce Barton

 Then one of my coaches told me to just enjoy it because it was the last time. So I was thinking about it being the last time I was ever going to stretch and run around, last time I was going to see the crowd, last time I was going to take this ankle band and wrap it around my leg. So, I made sure I wrapped that thing perfect.

 The whole thing is so predictable. This is a form of sexism that is so mainstream that people don't even blink their eyes when they learn the Duke lacrosse team hired a stripper. In a perfect world, that would not be sexist. But this is a world where one in four college women are sexually assaulted and women can't walk on campus at night because of the threat of violence from men.

 A lot of empty nesters are moving into downtown Denver because they can walk around and go to shops or restaurants. Downtown Denver used to have rows and rows of boarded up houses selling for $10,000, but now those houses are selling for $150,000 on the low end, and lofts are going for $1 million.

 Scott came into the dressing room while I was getting dressed, ... I was bending over to pull my pants up, so the first thing he saw was my bare bum. Then I turned around and saw him. At that very instant, in my head, I said, 'That's him. That's the one.' And he says he was thinking the exact same thing.

 My crusade since I came here four years ago was to better understand where television is going and what television means to the next generation. Trace it back to its origins. Television wasn't a box in a living room; it was technology to project an image from a distance.

 The guys that were originally in Unit C were moved out into the houses because the new [female] resident hall did not open. We wanted to give them a chance to move back on campus because they had been displaced and were living in houses that had more residents than desired.

 I could have sold it more, but I was trying to pace myself and take one thing at a time. Every few seconds I would think facial expression or choreography and I'd do something expression, but then I'd go back into my little zone. At the end I felt like I didn't remember. I wasn't sure if it had happened yet.

 That's the tough thing about winning 18 in a row. They're down there, thinking it's the end of the world. They wanted to see how long this thing could keep going.

 Construction of green, environmentally friendly living spaces all over campus has made our physical campus healthier. It's time to make our personal campus follow.

 I was really thinking about it after the Calgary World Cup (in November) that this was it, that there was nothing but gloom and doom on the horizon. But I guess one thing that I've learned over this whole thing is that our system in Canada can work.

 You can sit in your living room and shout at your television, which makes you feel helpless, you can turn off the television, which is no great solution, or you can try to do better yourself,
