Just be better each day than the last respective day.

When I think about Fickell, I regard him as a high-end, successful coach who: (1) has won; (2) knows why he has won; and (3) knows how to recreate the conditions that generate victories. Guys like that know that their "system" generates wins. And -- while they'll never say it out loud --...

9 months, and on the way to 9 years! Praise God. And then Praise Him more.

In 2018, I was thrilled, because I could see what was coming together and ABSOLUTELY knew what was going to happen in 2019 -- in fact I was telling everyone I knew. So, I really don't care what the record is this year. I care about seeing the signs that tell me all of the pieces are forming a...

I'm 51, and a father of two boys. This one hits me in an atrium and a ventricle. This is why we fight, and this is why we die -- there can be nothing of greater value. This is the Pearl of Great Price.

Prestige of undergrad matters very little to law school. (But it matters -- indirectly -- a great deal for business school.). For law school, a top GPA and LSAT will open doors, if the remainder of the application is done well.

Como - I haven't heard from you... but it has been said that it isn't true that Howard could be a back door. Please look at the attached. This is the interview schedule for Williams, Connolly -- the best DC litigation firm. They interview at the T14, plus Vandy and Texas (near great law...

Como, I've not run across you before, to my knowledge. So I don't have a sense as to your age, etc., and where you might be coming from. As for upward mobility based on experience: generally, no. I can describe the situations that tend to lead to exceptions to that general rule, but the fact...

To elaborate, may I ask whomever may be interested to look at the attached? It shows the recruiting behavior of the top corporate firm in America. And, lo and behold, it recruits only from the top 14 law schools (knuckles, above, mentioned the T14 -- that's the reference). It visits the top...

PMW - I was not the one who asked me where I went to school. Nor did I ask anyone to ask me. I understand normal human drive to understand evasiveness, so I revealed a little -- so all of you could have a basis for grasping why I'm apprehensive. I have no idea: perhaps you've also published...

I don't think prestige is necessarily the most important thing. In fact, I think you've summed things up about right. Prestige is not our mission, and therefore we are not prestigious. Mainly, this doesn't matter, but depending on a student's ambitions, it can absolutely matter.

I think you're probably right. I think there's a disconnect between whether UMN is a prestigious place to be a professor versus whether it's a a prestigious place to be a student. From a student's perspective, the problem is that it does not field a top-ten law school or business school or...

I have no idea who that is. So, no. ...I would be surprised if any of you also know of my other identity, but I guess there's always a chance. (I will say this, though: as a result of the various series, I have had a phone call result that connected me with someone many of you would...

To be a little less opaque: elsewhere, I publish various series on topics that are somewhat controversial. The readership is small but regular -- about 10-20k regular readers. I don't know how this identity could be connected to that identity, but I'd rather not take unnecessary "risks."...

Love all your posts, PMW. But occasionally there are just odd circumstances. You can go with that or not. But I'm a fan of yours no matter what.

It's definitely one of the two.

Yep. I do. But there are some things that make this make sense. And I'd rather not say. (Although if you want to meet up for a drink....!)

Well, it's a high-end private boutique tech school. So that only leaves so many options. I'd prefer not to be more specific because of other things I've said in the past that could lead (who knows why?) people to me. That said, I'm sure you could work it out with not that many guesses.

Without getting into it, a high-end boutique school that focuses on tech. But that's not the point. The point is the squandering of the opportunity for intelligent MN kids.

A boutique sort of high-end school. Not UMN, although I love the school and root for UMN without rest!
