    Premium Archive Welcome, jameskanan This page is print-ready, and this article will remain available for 90 days. Instructions for Saving | About this Service | Premium Account December 22, 2002, Sunday MAGAZINE DESK Football Is A Sucker's Game By Michael Sokolove (NYT) 7919 words The University of South Florida sprawls over nearly 1,500 acres in a once sparsely populated section of Tampa, close to where the city bleeds into unincorporated Hillsborough County. The campus is pancake flat and in desperate need of more trees and shade. Grass comes up in stubborn clumps through sandy soil. I can't say that I was shocked when I learned of a previous use of this parcel of land: a practice bombing range. In many other ways, though, the University of South Florida is attractive -- and useful. It has produced about 170,000 graduates in its four-decade history. It has a medical school and some well-regarded academic programs. Current enrollment stands at 39,000, and students tend to be grounded and hard-working rather than rich and entitled. (A professor told me that one challenge of his job is teaching morning classes to students who may have worked the late shift at Chili's.) What U.S.F. does not have is any kind of national profile. It has no standing. No buzz. The latest edition of the Princeton Review's ''Best 345 Colleges'' does not rank it low on the list -- it leaves it off entirely. University officials want U.S.F. in the guidebooks. They want fewer commuters, more out-of-state students, more residence halls and more of a ''traditional'' campus feel, by which they mean a campus with a soul and some spirit.

Here, I have the opportunity to thank Roald, in the name of all Cornell chemists, past, present, and future, for his many efforts on behalf of us all. We are well aware of Roald's illustrious scientific achievements; I can tell you that he also applied his extraordinary skills to the administration of this office to strengthen and make more secure the framework upon which depends the future success of the department. Thank you Roald, and please stay close to the telephone because I have a lot of questions! One question I can now answer is, "What, exactly, does the chairman do"? Having served on the job since the beginning of July, I have at least a rough THE NEWSLETTER idea. Surprisingly, there is relatively little routine paperwork to worry about.

  • South Florida Bulls, Winners of 6 NBA Titles in the — Oh, Wrong Bulls
    The Michigan Full Court Press Volume VI Issue VIII The Official Newsletter of the Maize Rage 11 December 2004 We’re back in Crisler this afternoon for the third installment of our current four-game homestand. This afternoon, our Wolverines face the mighty South Florida Bulls, winners of 6 NBA titles in the — oh, wrong Bulls. These Bulls are no slouches though, having achieved a 5-2 record so far this season on the strength of wins over teams like Stetson and Grand Canyon. They’re coming off of a season in which they finished a hot 1-15 in Conference USA. We’re without Daniel (4 weeks), Graham (4-6 weeks), and Lester (season), but there’s no reason our team is going to roll over here in December. We need to stay right with them as their official support group and help them play a solid forty minutes of basketball in every game. Let’s make Crisler move this afternoon, Rage. Here is the starting lineup for the South Florida Bulls (5-2, 0-0 Conference USA): 1 Marlyn Bryant 6’3” G Nicknamed “The Energizer Bunny” by his former coach; has torn an ACL each of the past two Januarys so he won’t be “Energizing” for much longer 3 Brian Swift 5’10” G Short; a member of USF’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee 21 Terrence Leather 6’9” F Again, last name is Leather; USF’s leading scorer and rebounder in 2003-04 25 James Holmes 6’2” G A native of nearby Ypsilanti; career ambitions include acting 44 Solomon Jones 6’10” C This transfer from Daytona Beach CC stays truly active by fishing and playing video games Coach Robert McCullum Coached at WMU when they knocked us off in 2001 and 2002; get revenge Boston Bandwagon: Chris Capko (#10), a standout baseball player in high school in Lakeland, Fla., professes that he is “an avid fan of the Boston Red Sox and Boston Celtics” and lists Paul Pierce as his favorite NBA player.
