I'm a proffie at the University of New Mexico, and we've been abuzz all day about this YouTube video showing one of our gentle female athletes.
When I first saw it I really couldn't believe it. She's not a student of mine, but if she were, I'd wear my hair in a bun. Don't miss the action at 0:39. It's mindblowing.

Sorry, but I had to write again. Our sweet little Lobo thugette has issued a statement. Parse this, would you?
“I am deeply and wholeheartedly regretful for my actions. My actions were uncalled for. I let my emotions get the best of me in a heated situation. I take full responsibility for my actions and accept and punishment felt necessary from the coaching staff and UNM administration.”
Can you believe it? Doesn't she know how to say, "I'm sorry"? What does it mean to say "I take full responsibility"? Who the fuck else was responsible for pulling that opponent to the ground by her hair? Isaac Newton?
Rate Your Students (RYS) is an academic blog moderated by a rotating group of college professors. To submit work for possible inclusion on the RYS blog, please submit text to our main mailing address.
Generally, stand alone pieces that are "lively" and focused on the terrifying life of a college proffie have the highest chance of making the page. Responses to earlier posts work well only when they come in within 24 hours of the original post. Otherwise the issue has often cooled.
There will usually be 2 site-wide questions each week, the so called "early thirsty" on Tuesday and the "big thirsty" on - well, Thursday. Generally, short and savage replies work best as we normally bundle a variety of responses in bullet format.
Due to the amount of mail we receive, it is impossible to reply to writers, even those whose work we use. This is a failing we would change if we could. Generally, if your post doesn't appear within the first week of you sending it, we've passed on it.
We also are happy to consider links and videos you think our readers might be interested in. We post links on an irregular schedule, but are currently posting 4-5 videos a week given the number of suggested pieces that come in.
We no longer entertain requests for press of any kind. The names of current and past moderators are not available. If you don't like the VidShizzles, please don't watch them. If you don't like the site, please don't read it. If you think we're clueless morons who've ruined the profession, then join the fucking club.
