Couldn't resist chiming in on that one. I was polite though.

Well, it is a stretch to call the ref an "NU graduate." He attended a 10-week program at NU for active LEOs who are in leadership positions.

Also, just want to point out to Cappy that on that board, they hand out Trophies. Why don't we get trophies here??

😭😭😭

Reminds me of when doctors advertise themselves as "Harvard trained" after they attended a weekend continuing medical education course. Technically they're not lying. 😃

I worked with a guy that said things like:

"When I went to Harvard"
"My professor at Harvard"

It was frequent enough for folks to giggle when it came up.

Weird thing was that the guy was really smart, really competent dude. He did not even need it. Just could not help himself.

He did a 1 week executive program thing at Harvard.

I took one class at Harvard one summer that was mostly high school kids. I got an A.

You better believe I've been saying I have a 4.0 at Harvard ever since. Most people know it as a joke - I wouldn't say it as a way to pass off my professional bonifides or anything, but every time I tell anyone a story about that summer, I say, "when I was at Harvard, where I got a 4.0..."

Let's just say my NU GPA was nowhere near that.

I must be missing something, because I didn't see any trophies over there, but here you go:

I sat in on a class when my kid was attending the school in question; therefore, I am Harvard trained as well. My son told me, “Dad, you’re not allowed to talk to the class.” He knows me so well.

Good thing because I wanted to say, “You call yourself a business school? This place ain’t no Kellogg, I’ll tell you that right now!””

Correct me if I’m wrong but haven’t we won like 14 of last 25 against Indiana at home? Seems like the Hoosiers have more than just a “ref” problem lol

Since we broke the 15-year losing streak against IU my freshman year in 2003, we're 17-17 against them.
