Athletic program left this year most likely to break our NCAA title drought?

Here for the cursory Fuck Stanford

At first I didn’t like use of “Natty” either. It felt too casual, too slangy for something so important.

However, then I noticed players using it, doing what slang always does, giving an old idea a fresh and fun new sense. In effect, they “embiggen” it. 

And maybe—I’m just thinking out loud here—their new sense makes more sense to them. To fans like us, a National Championshp becomes a key part of our own lives, our own history, to savor for years. But to players in the middle of the contest, working for one, they feel its importance deeper than we do but also know how rare they are. That a key player may get injured. That shots may not fall. That refs may call a clean block a foul. 

That is, in the arena, players know a Natty’s importance but also know enough to slang it off as a fickle thing, not something that their inner being depends on.

are they as bad as the "Russian judge".... and yes I know it was ice skating.

Yes. Yes they are.

I actually played for the table tennis team at Michigan. Fun times!
