Emmanuel College, University of Queensland is a residential college of the University of Queensland in St Lucia, Queensland, Australia. Emmanuel College was founded in September 1911. It was the first of the UQ residential colleges originally based on Wickham Terrace in Brisbane City to move to its current St Lucia site when the university relocated. The College admitted men only until the 1970's, when it became co-ed. Emmanuel College is currently the largest of the UQ colleges with approximately 350 students. Students living at Emmanuel College study for a wide range of degrees and are encouraged to excel academically through the college's extensive tutorial program. As well as academia, students at Emmanuel particpate in a wide range of mens and womens sports and compete against the other UQ Colleges for the annual Inter-College Cup (ICC).
Unfortunately the college has recently suffered due to the appointment of Marlene Tau. Ms. Tau is a proffessional student who does not have the capacity to function in the real world. For this reason she has found employment at the college due to their policy of employing the unemployable, in the past receptionist Wari has also greatly benefited from this scheme. Since arriving at Emmanuel, Marlene has succeeded in putting every member of the student body offside. Her policy of trying to act like a bossy parent to students, including telling people to "go to bed, you have to study tomorrow" has caused her to be the subject of much derision. She revels in the punishment of students caught enjoying themselves and is notorious for treating the students at the college, who are among the brightest school leavers in Australia, as children who are incapable of intelligent thought. She also seeks to remove the last vestiges of long standing traditions from the college as she attempts to create a college that is dry, boring and embarrassing on the sporting field. As she has proved incompetent as a college administrator, it is reccomdended that she pursue a career in film, Ms Tau performed admirably as a hobbit extra in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Emmanuel College, University of Queensland, Australia is most defenitely the greatest college in ICC, pity about that lady that resembles a hobbit though....

The Phat 5 started playing basketball in 1899 and the last program started play in 1920. Kansas was the firsr in 1899 under the leadership of Dr. James Naismith, the founder of the game of basketball. Here's a list of the first year of play for all the Phat 5 programs.
First year 2006-07
Kentucky 1903 104yrs.
N. Carolina 1911 97yrs.
UCLA 1920 88yrs.
Kansas 1899 109yrs.
Duke 1906 102yrs.
________
500yrs.
The Phat 5 in the 2006-07 season will be celebrating 500 years of basketball play. Kentucky was suspended from play in the 1952-53 season to allow for the off year. This is amazing achievement that they all started at diffrent years. It's an historical event that will be a shrine to college sports.

The Phat 5 of College Basketball will be celebrating 500 years of basketball play a feat that has never been obtained by a group of elite teams ever in the history of sport. Now that's Dunkadelic!!!!!!

Where everyone knows your name....and your business. This small campus provides a taste of everything. You got the preps, the hicks, the potheads, and gangstas (aka the lax team the rugby team the baseball team and the basketball team) in that order. Now of course you find the ever so dominate group on a catholic campus "God-squad" who going to church everyday is like breathing. The Mount is a beautiful campus and does provide an excellent education among other things.

The Phat 5 have produced 3 of the top 4 All-Time leading scorers in NBA history. ( 1 )Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, 38,387 points, ( 2 ) Karl Malone 36, 928 points ( 3 ) Michael Jordan 32,292 points, and ( 4 ) Wilt Chamberlain 31,419 points. Jabbar ( UCLA ), Jordan ( N.Carolina ), and Chamberlain ( Kansas ). Karl Malone is the only one not to win a NBA Championship and the only one not to attend a Phat 5 program. Wilt Chamberlain ( Kansas ) is the only man in NBA history to score 100 points in a NBA game. Michael Jordan ( UNC ) led the NBA in scoring 10 times, a record that may never be broken. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar ( UCLA ) is the only player in NCAA history to win the NCAA Tournament MVP award 3 times.
The Phat 5 players have been major influences in the NBA as players, coaches, and executives. A Phat 5 player who's considered a NBA Lottery pick will have a longer career in the NBA than players who didn't attend a Phat 5 program. Now that's Dunkadelic!!!!!

Larry Brown ( UNC ) is the only coach to win a NCAA Championship ( Kansas-88 ) and a NBA Championship ( Detroit 2004 ). Coach Brown also guided ( UCLA-80 ) to the NCAA Final game , and the Philadelphia 76ers to the NBA Finals ( 2001 ) with Dunkadelic Hip-Hop Legend Allen Iverson.
Larry Browm pound for pound is one of the greatest coaches in the history of basketball. He is a Phat 5 legend who has played for or coached 3 of the Phat 5 programs. Now that's Dunkadelic!!!!!

Yeah, uh, Mount Saint Mary's has its ups and downs, but in the long run it kicks more ass then most other schools I've ever been to. So come here, have fun and wake up and do it all again.

Mount St. Mary's a beautiful place to visit but to go to school here is a different story...all I am going to say is never judge someone when their parents are around. It is a major party school, well only when PS isn't busting in and confiscating all the beer for themselves. It is a place where hooking up is more then just exchanging phone numbers...where kissing when you first meet at the party leads to a midnight humping session. Here you are guaranteed to be known by the second day, your name and all your business. The Mount is a place where it becomes kool to drive from building to building blasting your radio between classes and the place to be on Friday nights is the local Pub. It is a place where they are plan things like deciding to build a 3,000 to 5,000 seat stadium ...mind you it is more seats then the amount of residents and students who stay in Emmitsburg..... Instead of building a new dorm and renovating the Terrace before it catches in fire and burns down in 2 minutes. It is a place where tuitions goes up about $5,000 every year... and what do we have to show for it.... Bocce and Disc golf... (Can somebody explain what the hell Bocce Is?) But what can I say the Mount is a beautiful campus to visit...but not to stay.
