    So, Harvard, Stanford, and Stanford. Those 2 schools are considered 2 of the Top 5 schools in the country, academically. Along with Yale and Princeton.

    I guess we can see what our FO is looking for: brains apparently. (but they need the brawn to go with it.)

    That's four schools Gip.

    Right.....I will let you choose what you think is the #5 best school in America. But nearly every list would have H, Y, P and S on it.

    MIT. Or Akron, it's close.

    You should like this: Akron is #1 in futbol.

  • Of overall Universities Columbia probably rounds out the 5...

    But engineering is where it's at!

    Haha I'm just giving you a hard time Gip. Personally, I've never been big on just ranking top 5 schools. I think you have to do it based off of economic domain (technology, business, engineering, law, etc.) With that said, you could get away with putting MIT, Caltech, or depending on your audience (aka non-Ivy League), any Ivy League school. You might even be able to get away with a few of the Liberal arts schools but in that situation you're probably going to be hoping that who you're talking to doesn't recognize them and just goes along with what your saying.

    So, you love trains? jk

    (so, why would you not say MIT or Cal Tech....which could certainly be viable choices)

    I have had this argument with Woody..I certainly recognize them. In fact.....if you are looking at rankings done (though I agree...it isn't the be all), those smaller Liberal Arts schools do quite well. More of them may be considered better than the bigger schools.

    In fact, looking at Forbes Top 50 schools, 22 of them are considered small Liberal Arts schools. (my son went to one....my daughter attends another that is in the Top 100. He goes to grad school at one of almost Top Ten.)

    Yup... Still have my HO collection... wanna make something of it? 😉

    Overall University was the operative phrase. For Engineering I have no doubt MIT would be #1 and CalPoly would jump into the conversation. But some of the Ivys would likely hang around as well.

  • If the topic is engineering within the Ivies, Cornell is far and away #1.. both in quality of individual major and breadth of specialties offered. USNews agrees both for undergrad and MS/PhD.

    Of course I'm not biased [it's my alma mater].

    Cornell is also interestingly the only Ivy with public school colleges - so there's something called "Hotel Administration" which is essentially a business major for those who find "undergrad business school" too fast paced.. But it's one of only 3 undergrad hotel management degrees, so [last time I checked] 55% of all US hotels are managed by people with Cornell degrees.. The result is that for NewYorkians, parts of it are a public school and thus the "overall" is not a 1:1 comparison with the other [private school] Ivies.

    According to Bloomberg, Cornell has the #1 undergrad business school among the Ivies, interestingly.

    As to other degrees, Cornell is #5 in the Ivies on essentially everything [i looked at MBA, Law, and Medicine at USNews and stopped].. which means they're in a tie for top10 in the country for whatever you'll want.

    CalPoly or CalTech. They are different schools. One in San Luis Obispo, the other, I believe, in Pasadena.

    I think you must know from my ramblings that that is where my boy goes for grad school.

  • Here's hoping Hue admits he was wrong about Kessler sooner rather than later.. IMHO Kessler doesn't make our PS.. I bet he says nothing about the statement he made on draft day regarding the selection of Kessler -- "Trust Me"

    He'll give Kessler some time, but if he feels Hogan is better, it could come to that.

    Fabiano is a 6-3, 303 pound rookie out of Harvard. Originally signed by Baltimore as an undrafted free agent, he was waived on Aug. 29. He opened 29 games for the Crimson with starts at left tackle (11), right guard (10), left guard (seven) and right tackle (one). A native of Wakefield, Mass., Fabiano graduated from Wakefield High School.

    Reynolds is 6-1, 207-pounds and officially in his second NFL season out of Stanford. Originally selected by Philadelphia in the fifth round of the 2014 draft, he appeared in six games last year and totaled 21 tackles, one pass defended and one interception. A native of Stoneville, N.C., Reynolds graduated from Woodberry Forest High School. His father, Ed, played 10 seasons (1983-92) in the NFL.

    Finally a name from my culled list, Reynolds. Big hitter I can see as a SS/OLB hybrid.

    Missed spotting Fabiano in BLT's cuts, but he was in the 75 list... plus he was listed as a Center. This was a kid I watched tape of pre-draft. Really good feet at LT, but lacking upper body strength at the time. Also remember getting distracted by this DeValve kid flashing at WR.

    Disregard the above earlier post... The Harvard OT I "scouted" was Cole Toner, not Fabiano. Toner apparently stuck with AZ.

    The distraction comment stands...
