You’ll Need a Stanford Education to Understand the New Pac-12 Video
The Pac-10 has officially expanded to 12 teams after adding Colorado and Utah this offseason. Being admitted to the conference should not be taken lightly; between Stanford, UC-Berkeley, UCLA, and yes friends, I’ll include USC, the Pac-12 has some of the strongest academic institutions in the country. It seems like the people who created the new Pac-12 promotional video wanted to prove that point, because you’ll need your lexicon handy to comprehend it:
Dr. Saturday joked you need a thesaurus handy to understand it. As they pointed out, some of the SAT words from the video include “differentiation,” “preeminent,” “panoramic,” “undeniably prolific,” “procession,” “reillustrate,” “unnerving,” “inexplicable,” “belligerent antithesis,” “avant garde” and “quintessential.” I don’t know who came up with “belligerent antithesis,” but they need to be slapped. Is this a conference of football powers or linguistics majors?
