That said, Cal Poly just turned away 10,000 first-time freshman with GPAs of 4.0 or higher. Those that were accepted averaged 4.13, with an average SAT score of 1407 and ACT score of 30.

Exactly, Fredo, its a B List school. Don't look up those numbers for the Southern California Schools, especially Caltech. I don't think your phony-tough ego could take it.

If Dak is a joke, he is an awfully successful one.

That's some high level shish kabob right there man. Even court jesters know how to entertain when contemptuous eyes are turned in their direction.

OK, I checked the link and PercyHoward's Denver stats are in a different thread. Apologies.

But you still refuse to address the point - there was a two sigma (at least) aberation in judgement calls that started with Jerry challenging Goodell's 200 Million Dollar contract that ended as soon as Goodell's contract was resolved. Comment on that without mumbling something idiotic about Bigfoot.

Uh huh. "In a different thread." And "the point" in that thread in the first place was my asking for the answer to a question that's apparently "in a different thread" but was answered with this judgment call crap. But if you must sidestep with that, I'll humor you. First off, the rate of total number of penalties for and against didn't even change overall in that time period so what you have there is the same type of garbage that happened earlier this year where some Twitter head from the media stated that the Cowboys didn't have any holds called on opponents in a few games, but on passing plays only. When you have to drill down like that to find "drama" in a statistical anomaly, it's no drama at all but that was enough to get emotional, non-investigators "outraged" when other teams were actually in worse shape when it came to holding calls (like Detroit and Miami - because I actually investigated).

Other questions I'd ask about the judgment call thing are, was Dallas penalized the most, the least vs. all teams during that period? How about their opponents' ranks? Non-opponents? Do such aberrations occur frequently, e.g., several times a season? What did other teams' penalty stats look like during that same time period? Did the Patriots suffer at the hands of Goodell goonery before or after the Brady deflate-gate situation? That would at least indicate a pattern, right? Without any context beyond drill down numbers that look at Cowboys games only, the numbers actually don't say much at all and only serve as confirmation bias for things conspiracy theorists want to believe in the first place. The media gives people what they want to be outraged about because it sells better than anything and it works the same with fans on a message board. Any team's fans can pull drill down numbers to back an evil plot theory against their team. If we drill down to just the first play of the game yesterday, it's clear the game was in the bag for us and predictably followed with several bogus and missed calls that favored us to boot. How do you oppose that evidence documented in video?

“Ugh, uuuugh, exactly?!?”

Pffffff, lulz.

Let’s recap: This past May, 10,646 first-time freshman applicants were turned down from Cal Poly ith GPAs of 4.0 or better. The average GPA of those selected was 4.13, average SAT score was 1407, and the average ACT score was 30. An overall acceptance rate of 19%.

For UCLA (May 2017), the average GPA of admitted applicants was 4.13, average SAT score 1370, and average ACT was 30.

*I know the significance of average in this context is over your head, but that means the top end of the range was much higher than the resulting score averages

What about SoCal schools?

UCLA
SAT (range)
1160-1470
ACT
28-33

USC
SAT
1280-1500
ACT
30-33

UC San Diego
SAT
1170-1450
ACT
27-33

Thanks for teeing this up for me.

Did you attend Cal Tech?

Lool, as predicted you don’t have a clue of what those numbers mean.

I didn't realize that UCLA was that hard to get into. I had a full-ride offer there for baseball in 1989 but chose UT instead.........maybe it was a bad decision :huh:

It goes without saying that my numbers were not quite that high :laugh:

Nah, it could be argued the women at UT are hotter depending on what you’re looking for. Either way you couldn’t have gone wrong, lol.

I could not help myself. had to find out what they are saying.

1. The opening kickoff was an absolute joke. Got to admit - if it were the other way around, I'd be very upset also.

2. The Dallas Goeddert "Swim Move" was a BS call. They are screaming how there is not a call on the Cowboys because Goeddert's helmet came off.

3. Michael Bennett was an absolute beast. He had a great game.

4. Carson Wentz is regressing. Sounds like fans of another quarterback that played in AT&T Stadium tonight.

5. Dallas should have scored 40 points on the Eagles. They recognize Prescott is a joke. They thought Gallop could have had a big game like Cooper if Prescott did not over throw him three times.

6. This officiating crew needs to be reprimanded tomorrow. The host did point out several times that Dallas had 11 penalties for 111 yards.

7. The biggest issue for the Philly defense is the inability to get off the field on 3rd down. It has plagued them all season long.

8. The WIP Host said the first half of today's game was the worst in Eagles' history.

9. With the Rams only scoring 6 points tonight, they will be playing angry next week.

Yeah same joke Dak is huh? Sure is a bum! That was a lousy loss he led us to last night. Oh wait...

No their QB is the one who is a joke and had a fluke 10 game stretch last year. They needed their backup QB to come rescue that season.

This is why your posts are such a joke. If you don't understand the difference between judgement calls like Holding and non-judgement calls like offsides or 12 men on the field, you are just talking out of your backside.

The difference between last year and the stretch this year is completely different statistically, which you are either unable or unwilling to understand. That's the entire reason statistics are used. And if you don't see the difference in OL holding our defensive line from last year to this year you either did watch or heard the game on radio.

Its "Caltech", one word. The student newspaper used to be called The Small t to make fun of idiots who wrote "Cal Tech".

And sorry Fredo, but no serious person puts Cal Poly in the same league as Adult schools like UCLA and UCSB. Call me when you get big boy stuff like a Medical School or a Nobel Laureate.

It was a difference school then and the SAT only went to 1600 back then, when he says 1400 its basically what 1000 back then, its not a high bar.

And UCLA was a different school back then, its top ten now and maybe top five but that's mostly because of the Medical School and Engineering School. UT was probably a better school back then and if you got to play for Gustafson and see a CWS, you made the right move!

Looool, that’s what I thought you twit. Dodge the question.

UCSB??? CalPoly has a lower acceptance rate than Santa Barbara.

I don’t even know why I’m wasting my time arguing facts some night school drop-out conspiracist.

Unless you want to offer up where you attended you’re just a dimwitted charlatan invoking strawmen “Yeah, buh, CalPoly ain’t Stanford or Caltech!” posturing like you even attended these schools.

Does that stipulate?

Lol, you sincere moron.

If that’s the case (1400 SAT being 1000 now) you undercut your own attempt at throwing shade.

Maybe you missed the part where I listed the SAT ranges, which means you’re claiming schools like UCLA, USC, UCSD, et cetera all supposedly lowered their standards.

So the 1160-1470 SAT profile of the UCLA freshman is actually just ~600-1000 in reality?

You clearly have mistaken your Wyotech diploma for a Caltech degree.

Typo, I meant UCSD. UC Santa Barbara is also a better school than Cal Poly and no serious person disagrees with that.

And I didn't attend Caltech but I run a committee there and have several friends that are Faculty. I'm on campus every week or so and my calls get returned. Unlike, you know, Cal Poly grads.

Those schools are twice the size and have a lot more liberal arts majors. Cal Poly is a teaching school for undergrads, which is why you keep using silly metrics like SAT scores for Freshman. .

Now run along Fredo.

Oh, right, right, a mistake...

UCSD
1170-1450 SAT
27-33 ACT
36% acceptance rate

CalPoly
1407 SAT (avg)
30 ACT (avg)
19% (May 2018)

Out of 1,674 surveyed schools, CalPoly was rated 86th overall in terms “Hardest Colleges to Get Into (U.S.),” UCSD was 88th.

So what is it now...let me guess “oh, I didn’t mean UCSD. I meant Harvard.”

And I didn't attend Caltech but I run a committee there and have several friends that are Faculty. I'm on campus every week or so and my calls get returned. Unlike, you know, Cal Poly grads.

Looool, oh? You’re on campus?

I live in Palo Alto and can walk into Stanford’s campus any day. That doesn’t in ANY sense mean I attend there.

Translation = you’re a fraud pretending like you attended Caltech

I’ll give you a tiny bit of credit for resisting the urge to lie like your buddy Nav22.

:facepalm:

And once again you embarrass yourself:

#8 Agricultural Science Program
#13 Architectural Program
#45 School of Business (of 1,016 rated programs)
#55 Engineering Program

This is textbook kaiser...talk out your arse, ignore the actual data/facts, accuse others of lying and claim victory.
