Is this good or bad?

*High school classroom*
Me: *browsing The Boneyard*
Student: What is that site?
Me: Uh...The Boneyard...
Other students lean over to see my screen...
Students: *in unison* OH MY GOD!

If you're a student: It's very good. Introducing the boneyard to your peers is very good.
If you're their teacher: It's still very good. But make sure the administrators and senior officials don't find out or else say goodbye to your pension.

if you're the teacher, make it required reading. screw learning about the assasination of arcduke ferdinand, communism v. nazism, religious wars, economic history of the world..,that'll bore them to death.

realignment has it all:

math and fuzzy math (see pitt's attendance, acc tv contract)
statistics ( have your students learn # of cable housholds)
absolute power corrupts absolutely- emmert
poli sci and lobbying effect on decisionmakers-louisville and cincy
corruption- swofford and raycom
colonialism-big 10
war- hello uss Connecticut (maybe get them signed up to serve/ jr. rotc?)
popular culture. star wars evil empire- ESPN
sewing-uconn's new uniform
music-hell, there's an entire thread on realignment music
yellow journalism-pete thamel
human development-oriakhi's paternal influence
model UN- see any NCAA meeting
calculus- have them write a formula re drummond's free throw shot
urban decay and planning- take them on a tour of the xl center
decline of amer manufacturing-have sticks come in and give a talk
physics-show them highlights of khalid el amin running down the court
meteorology and climate change- look at syracuse's arctic climate
great american literature-huskyfandan required reading, maybe jim calhoun can read huskyfandan to your class?

the list of boneyard teaching moments are endless

Welcome to The Boneyard. As far as a bunch of misfit fanatics go we're not half bad. My advice is make sure you study and get good grades and then apply to the UConn honor's program. So that means avoid spending massive amounts of time being distracted.

Again welcome Husky Gal!
