Shocky or anybody, how would you rank the ACC schools, in terms of academic prestige?

I'm thinking something like...

1. California or Stanfurd (may depend on how you value public vs. private)
3. Duke
4. Virginia
5. Notre Dame
6. Georgia Tech?
7. Boston College or Miami?
9. North Carolina?
10. Pittsburgh or Wake Forest?
12. Virginia Tech?
1X. dunno after that

Also depends on what metrics you use. Most of the above, after the top few, I am just spitballin'. Could be way off.

---

Looking at the list it looks like Louisville is way way way down the list!

---

I'd put UNC in the Notre Dame range

---

Agreed. Has an excellent academic rep....Just below UVa of the publics.

Something to note, Jim Knowlton would not have hired Mark Madsen if it wasn't for Mike Montgomery lobbying tirelessly for Madsen. The con artist would have hired the LMU coach if he could choose.

wut wuz the biggest surprise for shocky going to his 1st softball game?

that would be watching with my jaw dropped starting catcher alyssa hererra throw absolute howitzer armed strikes (consistently within a 2 foot window low enough to throw out a wannabe base stealer) between innings while sitting on her knees (with no wind up)

the lopes parents of players sitting around me behind home plate tole me that's a remarkable skillset

good luck to any dumb azzs that wanna steal any bases on the bears this season

alysaa is also batting .375 on limited at bats (3 of 8), she's a true freshie from murietta high school that is striving to get accepted in the haas biz school

yeah the only person on planet earth that is fast enuf to steal a base on alyssa is jaydn ott, anybody else tryna do that **** gotta be crazy or something (come on, singalong rite now...this is a judgement free zone)

this is a recap of a daddy/daughter date for me & taylor back in the cal's monster class era:

show up at the hostess stand at tayor's favorite restaurant nobu malibu very late this evening without a reservation

shocky: good evening, we'd like a table on the patio overlooking the ocean please

curvy brunette yoga hostess: i'm sorry sir, we're fully committed this evening...would you like me to put you on the waiting list for the sushi bar, there are unfortunately no guarantees that any seats will open up tonite

shocky: did you know that i'm a california golden bear?

curvy brunette yoga hostess: really?

shocky (posting up with a headstand directly in front of the hostess stand with my giuseppe zanotti kicks in the air): roarrrrrrrrrr

polite applause/clapping from the 3 hostesses & maybe a few strange looks from the bar

curvy brunette yoga hostess (flipping her hair): i have a yoga practice too

shocky: tell me something i don't already know

curvy brunette yoga hostess (to a male server): please seat them at table 7 on the patio now

dirty looks at the shockster from those who've been told there are no tables available now

shocky: dom arigato

curvy brunette yoga hostess: namaste

san diego state's not so monster offensive line:

when the aztecs invade berkeley on saturday september 14th it's gonna be behind an almost completely rebuilt o-line due to the transfer portal departures of multiple 2023 starters...r u gonna be at memorial stadium this fall?

brandon crensahaw dixson: sdsu to florida
cade bennett: sdsu to tcu
drew azzopardi: sdsu to washington
thomas mirabella: sdsu to probable west coast school with multiple offers
rambo mageo: sdsu to utah tech
joey wright: sdsu to undetermined
mark redman (starting tight end/leading receiver with 38 catches): sdsu to louisville

and so with that being said coach sirmon gotta be more adaptive & significantly dial up more pressure with the x man & david reese wrecking havoc in the aztecs backfield...keep in mind that that sdsu don't got an elite running back, qb1 jalen mayden led the team in rushing in 2023 with 528 yards while getting sacked 23 times & will compete this spring with florida state transfer aj duffy

yeah apparently not everyone on planet earth wanna spend the day at legloand like shocky before a late nite dinner at nobu in the gaslamp district while earning a sdsu degree, that's just crazy in an upside down kinda way

the following is a reprint from cal's monster class back in the day:

visited this morning the recently opened nicklaus design group ferry point golf course just outside of nyc with panoramic views of the manhattan skyline

https://instagr.am/p/C17b5MfsDob
arrive from my hotel by cab at the clubhouse around 7:30 am to stretch & warm up at the practice facility

upon arrival the head golf professional tells me that ferry point's developer donald trump heard that as a golf digest & golf magazine rankings panelist that i had an 8:10 tee time and would i like to play with the donald at 8:20 am instead?

so i say sure, no big deal, let's do this

so we make the introductions on the practice green & the 1st thing i notice is that trump has the weirdest color hair ever (kinda yellow orange) & that he has total man boobs along with an oversized obnoxious red cap

i walk & carry my lightweight leather mackzenie bag while the donald drives a golf cart literally to within 6 inches of every green...just as annoyingly, we then proceed to play thru every group on the golf course in front of us (why does he do this, why not just take the 1st tee time?)...it's funny to watch people's reactions as he dictates the playing thru, some golfers are understandably agitated while others want a selfie with him on their phones, he very clearly enjoys all the drama he's created

so he tells us while we wait for the short par 4 8th green to clear that he thinks ferry point is one of the greatest golf courses in the united states (it isn't, there are at least a dozen courses on long island & the hamptons that are significantly better) & that he's qualified to make that statement because of his extensive travels around the globe playing golf, that nobody knows golf architecture better than him & that includes actual golf architects

so in front of his 2 buddies & his cart caddie i tell the donald that actually i'm one of the 13 guys (and the youngest) to have played the world top 100 courses & stare him down...total silence, one of his buddies who is the chairman of macys starts to laugh & donald play punches my shoulder kinda hard, he's been pwned...whatever

dude is an interesting guy but playing golf with him is not really a celebration of the game but more like riding a roller coaster



you're fired, shocky#

Wow, free admissions? Imagine that. It's almost like the school want their students to come out and cheer for their student athletes or something.

markeisha & knowlton r clueless re: the socioeconomic backgrounds of today's berkeley students at the #1 ranked public university in the world, they think these hard working students (many of them 1st generation college attendees with some family members working 2-3 jobs to pay the bills) can afford the $150 annual student pass for football & basketball tixs which is actually a middle class & above financial luxury

qb1 update: the panthers got 2 qbs on the roster who have ever taken a snap in a college football game

last season christian veilleux started most of the time & wuz mediocre completing only 51.1% of passes for 1,179 yards & an abysmal 108.8 qb rating so new offensive coordinator kade bell has already decided that heading into spring ball that 6'6" austin product nate yarnell (limited snaps last season passing for 595 yards but an unreal qb rating of 164.8) is gonna be the panthers qb1

the problem in pittsburgh is that whoever is qb1 don't got any elite wide receivers, last season's leading receiver bub means caught 41 passes for 721 yards & has declared for the 2024 nfl draft...the 2nd most productive receiver with 44 catches for 576 yards konata mumpfield is returning...the team's 3rd most productive receiver daejon reynolds caught only 28 passes for 316 yards in 2023, nobody else on the team caught more than 18 balls

so do the panthers got a great rushing attack?

not really 5'9" running back rodney hammond jr led the team with 546 yards on the ground

not always sunny in pittsburgh#

Wow. I had to look up the evolution of Oakmont's church pew bunker. That's enormous. The picture you posted made it appear that it runs down the center of a fairway. The video I watched explained that while still on the edge of two holes it has been enlarged to come into play more. Visually these types of things are great. From an old golfer's point of view who grew up playing very traditional courses (eg. Lakeside at Olympic) and courses that have natural hazards (eg. Pebble) I'm not a fan. Riviera's bunker in the middle of a green is a prime example. Individual tastes though, it's what makes the world go round. Thanks for posting Shocky. It's been a long time since I've seen Oakmont. I remember it was considered a beast when they played the US Open there when I was a kid.

yeah no days off don't apply to markeisha & knowlton who still haven't offered FREE tixs to all students for the final 2 home games this week

there are thousands of tixs still available for both men's games this week including saturday's senior day & sunday's women's senior day currently got 11,000+ unsold tixs

why would anyone want hard working broke azz students at the #1 ranked public university in the world cheering & creating loud gameday energy for their fellow students on senior days?

but gotta give markeisha credit, she does not discriminate, she is absolutely incompetent in branding/selling tixs for both the men's & women's teams

markeisha is arguably the least innovative person on campus, the day she is relegated (and that day is looming in the future) to berkeley parking enforcement with monday thru friday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm shifts (with a break for a timed lunch) will be a step forward for the athletic department

I grew up on Rivera. I find the golf course better today, than it was in my youth, despite the removal of the barranca, the reshaping of many golf holes, etc. The course has gone through several evolutions, and really looks less like the original design, and a lot of that is keeping up with changes in golf, There is a reason the guys on TV kept saying this is the pros' favorite course on the PGA Tour. The other thing about Rivera is you hardly ever see the other holes, and essentially each holes is separately framed by his use of topography, tee location and use of large trees.

Thomas tried to put as much architectural eye candy into his golf courses as possible, and the Hollywood crowd behind developing Rivera was prepared for that by funding what was the most costly course build-out of its time. What Thomas did was put a lot of different stuff to distract the average golfer, while developing one of the most strategic courses for good players. Every hole has several options in how you play it (another example of this is his LACC North Course). He probably is the most underrated architect in his ability to make a course strategic. My favorite short Par 4 in the world, number ten, is the premier example of this. It just freaking kills the pros every year. The testament to Thomas, is that so many later architects copied holes from Rivera. I'm a member at a David MClay Kidd course, and David put a freaking trap in the middle of the 18th green to honor Thomas. The history at Rivera is nice and everything, but the underlying course really places a premium on shot making, which is why the pros love it so much. Us mortals will focus on the eye candy, which also is okay. The idea was that members play a different game than Ben Hogan, and they should have their own challenges.

And to date myself, when I grew up, Oakmont was associated with pain and suffering inflicted on the pros, a lot of it owing to the impossible greens and the bunkering.

Sounds like a great course. Still not a fan of things like bunkers on greens. I would probably have loved playing it. I have weird tastes in golf courses due to spending everyday of my formative years at 'cruddy' Lincoln in SF. It shaped (warped) my views on golf courses. Lakeside is not that exciting but it shaped my thoughts on tough golf courses. Doglegs one way, fairways that slope the other, never a level lie even though the course itself is not that hilly. Just subtle toughness. Oakmont with it's million bunkers sounds over the top. I don't really remember details of the course but I remember really liking playing Pasatiempo.

Of the 3 major sports, only WBB Coach Charmin uses social media as opportunity to keep in the minds of fans and recruits.

Schools should post something on the major platforms daily. Coaches should post at least weekly.

Intersting mention of Pasatiempo....I have played what are considered better, or more highly rated, golf courses, and Pasatiempo is really not that long, but it is one of my favorite courses to play. MacKenzie has made up for the length with degree of difficulty. Lived in Los Gatos and Aptos for years and played many of the Monterey courses as well, and sign me up for a round at Pasatiempo. Recall when I was in dental school years ago getting up in the pitch black and playing Harding. If you veered left or right in the dark, you would be gone to the Cypress trees. Also galleried tournaments with my father in law at the Lake course and the Presidio and SF Golf club....I envy shockies being able to play so many of the top 100 but would never have gotten such an invite with my index.

Lakeside is not that exciting but it shaped my thoughts on tough golf courses. Doglegs one way, fairways that slope the other, never a level lie even though the course itself is not that hilly. Just subtle toughness. Oakmont with it's million bunkers sounds over the top. I don't really remember details of the course but I remember really liking playing Pasatiempo.

Second comments here on Pastatiempo. Though, strategic, and fair. AM really took golf course architecture to another level.

Be interesting to get Shock's take, but I have heard Oakmont is just grinding, especially the greens.

The phrase “destination municipal short course” didn’t exist until the reveal of @firstteesf home #GoldenGatePark in #SanFran. @jayblasi created 9 holes with bouncy fescue turf, a double green, a wedge tee shot over/around a tree, kick points, back stops & an ocean view. SO FUN! pic.twitter.com/Tn1lOkFFF8
