Interesting story on grad rates in USA Today. Interestingly, Cal is 20th out of the top 25 in football grad rates and one of only 12 schools below 50% in both football and basketball. Congrats to the Washington Huskies for an 80% grad rate in basketball and 66% for football. Major props to BC and Notre Dame in football and also to Florida, the only school in the top 5 in FOOTBALL and FOOTBALL GRAD RATES.

Yeah that's great and all, but do the Huskies play their home football games within 30 miles of the Golden Gate Bridge? And do they have a running back who racked up 74 yards rushing against the fourth best team in the SEC?

No and No. Next topic.

The numbers are from a time frame of 1996-99. There are very few programs I would hold accountable for those numbers.

20th-ranked California (44%) also were among the bottom 10.
Oh no, Kal in the bottom 10....m2, you better get in here and spin this. Maybe Kal can mimic your technique of avoiding the topic at hand and blathering on about some completely irrelevant and ridiculous topic.

Believe the Heupel wrote:There's no way that even 40% of Nobel Prize winners could graduate from Cal. Here's a list of Nobel Prize winners-see? Far fewer than 40% of them graduated from Cal.
Laugh of the day.
