According to press releases from both Clark University and its Athletic Department, volleyball sensation Marina Ramos (‘18) has been selected to appear in the November issue of GQ Magazine to showcase that snazzy scarlet and white uniform that she has been wearing this fall season.

The Freudian Slip spoke to head editor of GQ Magazine Jim Nelson following the announcement about his decision to feature Ramos in the magazine. “Scarlet and white are very difficult colors to pull off during the fall season.” Nelson said, “[Marina] makes a bold statement with her wardrobe, and that is exactly what we like here at GQ.”

Ramos now has this well-deserved recognition to add to her already incredible performance this season. She has registered 278 kills (and is fifth in the NEWMAC Conference in kills per set) in her sporty red top this season, which has the number 13 in white on both the front AND the back.

The Freudian Slip expects that Marina will be a national superstar by the end of the month, which seems probable considering most of her team has already begun wearing the same uniform as her. This, of course, has the one exception of that one girl who insists on wearing all white for some reason even though Labor Day passed weeks ago.

Ramos, modest as always, responded to all of this attention by making sure everyone knew her success this season has been a team effort.

The volleyball team’s last home game is on Tuesday, October 27th at 7:00 pm. The Freudian Slip strongly recommends everyone goes to show their support and wears the scarlet and white uniform that Marina has made famous.

Hipster Quote of the Week:

The message at the end of “The Tortoise and the Hare” isn’t that ‘slow and steady wins the race’, but actually a well-remembered quote from the 1977 Disney classic “A New Hope”: “Great kid! Don’t get cocky”. Bullshit that the hare was gonna lose that race if he didn’t choose to stop for a nap and a snack and whatever else he did. Bullshit that the tortoise was going to catch up in any capacity if the hare didn’t slow down for him. Maybe that platitude makes sense, but definitely not in this situation.

 

A race is a sheer contest of speed. No other skills go into that. The tortoise and the hare aren’t making miniature wooden horses and getting judged on the craftsmanship of their products alongside their finish time; they are moving from one point to another. In no universe does slow and steady win that race. Slow and steady wins no races, except for races where the point is to go as slow as possible. Even in cases where slow and steady could be considered a possible alternative to fast, such as the aforementioned miniature-wooden-horse-making competition, someone who can do similar quality work at a much faster pace still wins that competition.

 

Slow and steady does not win the race. Not being too full of yourself does.."
