My ads have made me do a double take before, but this.... The Academy of Art had better shape up before the big game with DeVry.
I'm hoping their mascot isn't a pirate, but rather a guy drawing a pirate from the back of a matchbook.
On the bright side, Natto pulled down a triple-double.

Apparently they are called the Urban Knights
and they have a baseball team
Giants! Giants! HELP US GOD!
They seem
to have a very committed, supportive and enthusiastic newspaper.

Do their pitchers brush back the hitters or just paint the corners?

One of my good friends attends the Academy and he told me they were extending athletic scholarships. I didn’t believe him at first.

They have a unique pitch to recruits; they can get learn art and get very well-known.
It’s called their “brush with fame” program.

The basketball team uses the silkscreen.

They played a few D-I basketball teams this year, which is respectable to some extent, I guess.

Dude, I went to the Art Institute. Completely different. So the Academy had to sign me as a free agent.
On a related note, I heard that AI was thinking about starting a sports team. I laughed a lot that day.
I’m guessing Academy of Art’s basketball team scores most of their points in the paint.

They Weren"t Even Klose but
They probably scored the last bucket so the headline should have been “Academy of Art Rally Falls Short”. There’s still life in them yet.

pencil them in to the NCAA tourney
I hope they get a good draw
Still defending Rich Aurilia, and the Niners' classic unis
Only if they are well oiled.
I hear they control the paint quite well.
Here comes Captain Obvious wearing his Atomic Wedgie!
This reminds me of when I learned you can major in English at MIT.

While we're loosely on the subject of basketball...
…is it time for Grant to change his Warriors link and its appraisal of the relative levels of embarrassment for Giants fans versus Warriors fans?
Was it time three months ago?
Or is “We Believe” actually a chronic mental condition?
Do they get to travel to games in those ubiquitous black buses?

They have a soccer team, too
When they score, the announcer screams “CHARCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!”
My plans for 2009: getting married and attending Tim Lincecum Bobblehead Day.
This is insanity.
I work two blocks from the main campus. I had no idea they had a whole athletics department and I am not processing this well at all. I knew it was one of the largest real estate owners in the City and always marveled how they could drive the students around town in those buses, but they have even more money to blow on crappy athletic teams? Why not just heat your buildings with wads of burning cash while you are at it?
There are also some that discredit the school as an Art school.
There was a big piece in the SF Weekly a couple of years ago
that led to quite a brouhaha with students, teachers, critics (some
of which were ex-students), and administrators attacking/defending
the institution.
I have a degree in fine Art, but have never studied at this school, so
everything I know is hearsay, but they certainly market themselves
well, and I notice a few other similar schools popping up using their
marketing model (Expressions is the most recent).

Incidentally
I probably shouldn’t make fun of them too much – my undergrad alma mater didn’t have any sports teams – the closest we had was the Anarchist Frisbee Club, where students got together randomly to play Ultimate Frisbee in parks and other public spaces in Manhattan and Brooklyn. As you might imagine, this was a liberal arts college.

We had some of those, but mainly we had people with purple hair and piercings. And lesbians. Lots and lots of lesbians.

The founder of the Anarchist Frisbee Club was a white guy with dreadlocks, though.

Orinda. I actually grew up in Albany/Berkeley (and New Jersey) but lived with my grandmother in Orinda for a couple of years in high school.

My vision of New Jersey geography is base on NJ Transit trains, not highways. In any case, I first lived in Princeton, and then in Highland Park, which is a small town between New Brunswick and Edison.
