What Upstater really means is: "Nobody is as academically pure as Penn State, Penn State does it the right way, every day".
Also, had a classmate who was a freakishly good at squashl, but if you looked at his grades and his SATs you might think he was dumber than a surf board (he wasn't). Well, a certain Ivy League school snapped him up and didn't think twice. If his skin were a different color, some people might say that he was "unift for the rest of the U" however since it wasn't he just "hasn't peaked yet academicall". Everybody will make exceptions when it comes to something important to them.

Your High School has a Squash team???????

Hell yeah. You mean yours didn't?

It was a private school. It's just easier conversationally to say High School than "Secondary School" or "Prep School". When you say Prep School, people think you went to Milford Academy, if you say Secondary School, people might think you are British or something.

I have a friend who at one time was an assistant hockey coach at a certain Ivy League school that takes its reputation for snobbery pretty seriously...not Yale or Princeton seriously because it knows it is better than those two, but seriously none the less. The stories he told about kids he would recruit were quite enlightening. They recruited a Canadian forward from Northern Quebec who barely spoke English and justified it as an international student. He's the one who used to say "at Harvard, we based all finacial aid on need. If we need a goalie and you are a good one, we'll get you the financial aid.

My daughter is a former athlete at a NESCAC school and she has been getting bombarded with emails from their equivalent of the UCONN club asking to petition the the board of Trustees to start allowing more flexibility on the football side of things since they are tired of losing to their ancient rival and tired of watching Trinity who is far more flexible win all the time...

Everyone always has an excuse why they can't beat Trinity in football. Win the game -- then you don't need to spend all your time making excuses.
