Yes...the joke has always been that you can tell who went to Michigan right away because they will make sure you know it.
"Hey I am Tom...I went to Michigan".
That is just slightly less annoying than reading your verbal masturbation. It is people like you that make me never regret not joining the Democratic Party. That party is filled with guys who know better than me and feel the need to tell me every hour of every day.

Why was everybody so down on Bob Dole? Sure he thought TV was still in black and white and the Dodgers still played in Brooklyn, but he never struck me as unlikable. He wasn't as mean-spirited as he was when he ran in '88. He was destined to lose the election to Clinton anyway, so I wish his advisers had let the funny Bob Dole out before the election. When he went on the talk-show circuit after the election he was incredibly funny. We should have seen that side of him before the election.

His peers always told stories about his wit in the Senate that made me wonder whether he was briefly taken prisoner by Cotton Mather during the election campaign. That's why nobody on the planet remembers Scott Reed except for a few GOP insiders who remember him as Bill Buckner.

See, more ammo for you.
(To be honest I don't think Cornell people are really like this, at least not to the extent of HYP. That's either because we're humbled by the experience or having gone to the egalitarian Ivy... or we're still smarting from that rejection letter from Princeton.
The Farm, on the other hand, is famous not only for being douchey but for being extra douchey because they don't realize they're douchey. At least the Dookies know who they are.)
Univ. of Chicago alums used to be infamous for dropping their school name five seconds into a meeting, but that may be a thing of the past. Like their prestige.
We are.I bet Stanford people are like this as well

Nah, I talk a lot about the wagon train of the few smart fighting off the endless hordes of the dumb, but that's not about schools. Every top tier university has a business school; that alone is enough to dismiss the correlation between intellect and alma mater.

One of the great moments came when Bernard Shaw asked Dukakis what he'd do or how he'd feel if someone killed Kitty. Instead of saying some variant of "I'd kill the sob myself," he answered like Jack McCoy speaking last, at a boring prosecutor's conference. Somebody (Time?) described the moment as a tomahawk to his forehead. There's being low key, but many observers have said it was that moment that convinced millions of Americans that this dude had less blood than a turnip.
Kerry is impossible for me to rate since I despise him for his self-serving anti-war efforts. "I threw away the ribbons, not the medals." And his libeling and slandering of an entire generation of American GI's to help launch his political career. Then there's his endearing habit of asking people who aren't treating him quite the way he thinks he deserves "Do you know who I am?" Yeah, bub, we know.
Romney's pretty boring, no doubt. Those with long memories will recall the "new" Nixon of '68, by which it was presumably meant that he'd use beardstick during TV debates. I'm not convinced being boring is the worst thing a president or a candidate can bring to the party.

During my time at Stanford, when I was a Stanford student, after having been accepted into Stanford and working my way to a Stanford degree, I did not notice other Stanford students like me doing this.
Now that you mention it...I have only met a couple Notre Dame grads and they did it too...not so much since their football team went south though
I bet Stanford people are like this as well

My Dad and my Brother have PhDs from Cornell, nephew and his wife have law degrees from Cornell. Good school, once you're in the real world for a year or 2, who cares.

He is also pretty emotional. He shed tears at Nixon's funeral. In his first speech as the VP nominee, somewhere in Kansas, he broke down.

(Except Va Techies who always brag about their school for reasons which surpasseth understanding.)
My memories of Stanford have by now eroded to the following:
1. The women are cute.
2. But not as cute as they think they are.
3. And everybody's teeth are perfect.
In no other way did it leave a significant impression one way or the other.

For pretty much any school, once you're working for a couple of years, who cares? It may help you get a foot in the door, but once you in the workplace you either know what you're doing or you don't.
