Don't know if this has already been posted here (I didn't see it), but I came across a blog entry a couple of weeks ago that compares just about every major D-I school to a hip hop act.
Examples...
Alabama/P. Diddy: "More than enough money and (possibly ill-gotten) resources to keep the dream alive, but they both face insurmountable expectations from an unreasonable fanbase. Unless they know how to exhume the dead, there's no way they'll give the people what they truly want."
Miami/Eminem: "When they're on, really, truly ON, absolutely no one can stop them, but they've been known to coast on their rep alone. Unlimited reservoir of talent, often used in very questionable ways. Very likely to give a big break to someone you will completely despise in three years."
FSU/2Pac: "Gang-related. Out of habit, people feel the need to bring them up in discussions of who's the best, but when you look back at it, you forget that while developing the Thug Life template, their legacy does not stack up with their actual accomplishments. Associated with delusions of grandeur."
Very, very well done.
