Anyone want to ask what a Jasper is? Or, yesterday’s recipe for turtle soup?

Overcoming a vast disparity in talent, the Manhattan College Men’s Basketball team demonstrated why the games are played. Maryland helped of course. Starting with their coach publically being force to play the NIT by the legal eagles, and finishing with the Maryland team forgetting their lessons. I was astonished to see them not pound the ball into the center. But, if you go in with a “failure vision”, then all to often it comes true. I thought it was intersting that the Jaspers packed their bags as if they were going to lose. I would have packed as if, assuming, I was going to win. But then, I’m here and they are there. ;-)  An amazing job in the face of overwhelming odds.


I found a potential MC student … maybe

Well, you could do yourself a lot of good choosing Manhattan College. Assuming you mean http://www.manhattan.edu and if you don’t why not? I read your “go for two and transfer” strategy. I recall the old adage that “it’s not the depth of the well but the size of the bucket”. MC can help you challenge yourself. It’s all about finding your niche in life. I think that MC has an great record of turning out amazing individuals out of rather ordinary people walking in. Read about our alums at http://www.jasperjottings.com that I edit. It is no “house” propaganda. You can reach me at http://public.2idi.com/=reinkefj if I can be of further assistance. F. John Reinke Manhattan College Class of 1968

A good idea to know what can be found and associated to you.
