"Disirregardless"? Publius, I hope you're just a Stanford fan and not an alumnus. ;D

Merely a Stanford insider joke: Many people use the non-word "irregardless" when they mean "regardless." As a subtle protest, one of my law school professors there (Tony Amsterdam, who argued and won Furman v. Georgia, briefly rendering the death sentence unconstitutional), coined the tautological word "disirregardless," which seems appropriate to use every now and then.

Yes, Stanford folks are such snobs; they are forever undisirregardlessly throwing around their lack of knowledge in such appalling fashion.

Just ask CB and her parents if BG was recruiting her. I believe you'll get a yes. Did CB take some recruiting trips? Yes. She didn't need to take a recruiting trip to CSLB because she lived down the street from the campus. Many people except the other schools recruiting her knew where she was going to end up. The paralell here is that CB's and AK's parents are involved in the educational field, so the educational part of the equation is going to mean a lot. I'll leave it at that.

Didn't Barboza commit relatively early though, while she was still a junior. Klineman may very well end up at Stanford, but I would think that if she truly had her heart set on it she would have commited by now.

I know IB said Alix was sitting by Kawika, but where was Kawika sitting?

Midcourt, first row, mauka side of the arena.

Darn, I didn't look there thinking it was all season ticket holders. Thanks for the info.

Barboza was the last recruit I ever leaked early. I felt bad after doing so and vowed not to do so again.

Unless, of course, Alix Klineman goes to Hawaii... that might be worth shouting from the rooftops.

Get over it, it's the game that they play.....Barboza and both of her parents repeatedly said that she had "Narrowed her choices to Long Beach State, Stanford, and one other school".......however there are those who know her well who will tell you that she had decided on Stanford when she was in the 9th grade.....they play the game, and they do it well.....
