OBTW, here's one from the post-season chatter on a mentor slack channel. For the record, we do not have anyone named named "Mark" as either a student or mentor this year. The names have been changed a la Dragnet:

".. numerous freshmen tell me Mark had taught them stuff ..."
"I hope he didn't teach them how to measure .. if so, we'll have a whole lot of un-teaching to do."
