<p>I usually swim a 5:40-5:50. It’s not that great, but I don’t swim year-round anymore, so I’m pretty content with it.</p>

<p>@tsukiyami ALL THE TIME. I’ve actually started to get annoyed when people ask me about that.</p>

1762

<p>Anyone play basketball?</p>

1763

<p>ahh nice thats not too bad, good stuff man!</p>

1764

<p>

</p>

<p>On Friday, December 10th, last year, Stanford posted their intention to e-mail decisions on their website at 8:30 AM PST. They then e-mailed decisions shortly after 3 PM PST.</p>

<p>I hope we get it–just 69 hours if we do :)</p>

1765

<p>@StanfordCS: I love basketball :D</p>

1766

<p>LMAO, 69 hours. Haha 69. </p>

<p>Sorry, I’m being a little perverted/</p>

<p>Do you play, do you watch, or both?</p>

1767

<p>“Yes, but it’s much harder to get admitted if you’re an ORM than URM.” <— I can’t disagree… Yet, I know a few URMs with much higher stats than some ORMs that have posted stats in the previous years (It’s actually true). </p>

<p>I still wish they would release minority acceptance rates though. It’s too controversial though, and the yield probably isn’t as high as ORMs.</p>

1768

<p>…any jump ropers out there???</p>

<p>Ohh and also, would such an obscure sport count as a hook? Or put me as an athlete (no such thing a recruitment for jump rope though). Or simply a white male applicant with a unique extracurricular?</p>

1769

<p>@Stanford CS I watch the NBA, do you or anyone else?</p>

<p>GO LAKERS! ! ! ! :D</p>

1770

<p>Ewwwwwwwwwww Lakers. What’s wrong with you? Lol, JK, I’m a HEAT fan.</p>

<p>Kobe is old and will retire within the near future.</p>

1771

<p>LOL A HEAT FAN HOW ORIGINAL.
Kobe =/= Lakers. Proof? 2010 NBA Finals Game 7.
Lebron = Heat. Proof? 2011 NBA Finals.</p>

1772

<p>I’ve been a Heat fan before LeCHOKE came to town. I’ve met D-Wade, and he’s a BALLER!!!</p>

<p>Kobe is done! I can’t wait till he announces his retirement. </p>

<p>However, RUMOR has it the Lakers are trying to acquire BOTH, CHRIS PAUL and DWIGHT HOWARD!</p>

1773

<p>I play and watch. Die-hard Clipper fan, here.</p>

1774

<p>Yes exactly, RUMOR has it. There’s no way the Lakers can get both of those players LET ALONE one of those and stay under the salary cap.
Kobe won’t retire for another few years so looks like you’ll be waiting a while.
Everybody says that they were fans before Lebrick.</p>

1775

<p>No, they are packaging Odom and Bynum for Howard. And trying to get Gasol for Chris Paul straight up.</p>

<p>@kimchee1212, HAHAHAHAHA the Clippers.</p>

1776

<p>Basketball is my favorite sport! In fact, I have a game tomorrow!</p>

1777

<p>I love the Clippers so much! Rumors are the Clips are in the front of the line to get CP3. Can you imagine Griffin, Gordon, and Paul on the same line-up? <em>drools</em></p>

1778

<p>Really, Eric Gordon? I like Blake Griffin, he’s doing his thing. </p>

<p>I wish NBA would get rid of the cap, like baseball. Then Howard and CP3 can go to Miami. Then, Miami can go 66-0…</p>

<p>Imagine: Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade, Lebron James, Chris Bosh, Dwight Howard. </p>

<p>Would they ever lose?</p>

1779

<p>I’m not too much of an NBA fan…but I can’t stand LeBron and his ego (esp. when he has no championships)…this picture always has me dying laughinggggg <a href=“http://d3j5vwomefv46c.■■■■■■■■■■■■■■/photos/full/311676706.jpg?Expires=1323227266&Key-Pair-Id=APKAIYVGSUJFNRFZBBTA&Signature=ka69NVimK8HtZwByUWHWtkjHD5KH9TANSFDgeK~GLfzgJBplhuCANXZ3wE5T0zZwkyeujtbW~nMl1J~yu9DOzJJWhKaWWfy1v6ZUCd8PHFA2~3H6Gz2Hd83B9E51RtkuW2jRF4Iv3eXAL8wZkAGgAyq4XtnzIpwlgvqVV7RiAsM_[/url]”>http://d3j5vwomefv46c.■■■■■■■■■■■■■■/photos/full/311676706.jpg?Expires=1323227266&Key-Pair-Id=APKAIYVGSUJFNRFZBBTA&Signature=ka69NVimK8HtZwByUWHWtkjHD5KH9TANSFDgeK~GLfzgJBplhuCANXZ3wE5T0zZwkyeujtbW~nMl1J~yu9DOzJJWhKaWWfy1v6ZUCd8PHFA2~3H6Gz2Hd83B9E51RtkuW2jRF4Iv3eXAL8wZkAGgAyq4XtnzIpwlgvqVV7RiAsM_&lt;/a&gt; hahahahaa</p>
