do rankings matter?

Yes they do! But not the WSJ rankings. We just fell out of the top-10
in the latest WSJ rankings. We're now 13th; we were 5th last year.
What gives/gave?! But seriously, the rankings look a little dubious.
Here, take a look. Here are WSJ's National Rankings (taken from WSJ's
online edition):

So anyway, I got my coursepacks today. BTW, I ain't buying no stinkin
textbooks that ain't required. Not after spending $600 for 4
coursepacks and a textbook.

Samir, I played full-court basketball today. It looks like a regular
thing, BTW. So next time in the bay-area...
