the x man has been frequently viewed as one of the fuss buttons of this board for some time. we've had many "interesting" chats about sports teams, mostly basketball, over the years and while he may be right much of the time the tone sometimes comes across a bit shrill.
i think you have to take all of this with a dash of humor and not take all of it too seriously. heck, this place never will be a top university and it appears that most are satisfied with mediocrity. so be it.
a quick memory note. when i interviewed for a job on campus i was shown a model of the new business building that soon was to be completed. that was around 1985. some five or six models, and more than two decades, later we're still looking for it. but xiaoxue if you want a picture there's a newer model in building six and a billboard showing a sketch of it along university drive. |
