I'm not a member here… but does anyone know a Robert Burdette? He is an instructor at UMCP and said if anyone could find anything out about him that tied him to the 930 club he would give out a couple of points to any student who succeeded.
Thanks in advance.

No way!!! He is actually a funny guy in class. His classes are a lot like watching a stand up comic that slyly slips in humor that you don't often get until a couple of seconds later. Or maybe that's my own problem.

So I assume he sings?

You win the knowledge of knowing you are helping a bad student desperately cling to a couple of points and hoping it makes a diference in the final grade. Thanks!

Just went to the official web site and saw that this is not right. Doesn't look like him and they haven't toured farther than Texas among other obvious signs.

ggw has you on the right path, but if i answer your email, it will be giving away the answer. the rules of the game state that you have to come to the club and get proof that you've figured out the connection anyway, so come on down and ask for me (josh). i'll be there every night but wednesday this week.

Your parents must be very proud of all the important things you are learning at the prestigious 'University' of Maryland! I hear that their sports program is top-notch.

And they'll fix your grades if you play for their teams…or is that Georgetown?

Well why do you think Georgetown football is undefeated for 50+ years running?

I know for a fact that one night the administrators in a Baltimore Shitty school that I use to teach in sat up and changed all the tons of failing grades to passing ones so the school didn't look so bad to the even higher ups. No wonder the little bastards refused to do anything in school but harass the teachers and destroy the place. This was far from the first or last time that I've seen something like that happen but it was the most blatant and widespread. One other time they made us use some formula where once we came up with our numeric grade, we'd use this formula which resulted in every student receiving no lower than a 65, which was just passing. This included students who never even bothered to set foot in the building for even one day of the grading period because they were cutting school.

just to clarify things a little, this is all about a project in a family studies class. the reverend doctor burdette is offering his students a chance to do a little real world research in the field. if they go through the proper work, come down to the club, and figure everything out, they get a couple of extra credit points. he and i made an agreement a few years back to do this. maybe 5 students have actually succeeded in getting the extra credit in that time. it's hardly on par with grade fixing.
