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

The distraction comment stands...

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.)

@tour2ma said:

So, you love trains? jk

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

@the-gipper said:

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.

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.

But engineering is where it's at!

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

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.

Fabiano... continuing the Browns' tradition of collegiate OTs moving to Center...

Winston has to have compromising pictures of someone... given the FO turnover can only be the man at the top.

Zombo said:

Pluto or somebody said Greco is definitely backup center, that is why they didn't keep one. So if Cam goes down he moves over and Bailey moves to guard. Drango Unchained next man up. Coleman will probably be inactive all year if they all stay healthy.

Plus don't forget Greco was our first choice when Mack's leg broke in 2014. Problem was McQuistan had to backfill for John.

@d-bone said:

I like this move. Overall, most people thought he was better than Kessler, fair to say?

Zombo said:

POOF!! there it is...now i can sleep at night

@d-bone said:

Not that I noticed, just bitching that they felt Hogan was too good to let go, and it "was typical Andy shit" (not 100% sure what that meant) chasing Hogan away, meaning that he wanted to come to Cleveland rather then go back to KC because KC offered him a practice squad spot too.

....the guy is ALWAYS connected to our team but is never able to be on the field.....except for one play that I remember where he ran into the line, got hit, hurt & fumbled all at the same time.
