    Definition of MATRICULATE

    Anybody who has had basic Latin knows that alma mater, a fancy term for the school you attended, comes from a phrase that means "fostering mother." If mater is "mother," then matriculate probably has something to do with a school nurturing you just like good old mom, right? Not exactly. If you go back far enough, matriculate is distantly related to the Latin mater, but its maternal associations were lost long ago. It is more closely related to Late Latin matricula, which means "public roll or register," and it has more to do with being enrolled than being mothered.

    The two restaurant managers matriculated through another nonprofit in Cleveland, Edwins Leadership and Restaurant Institute, which trains ex-offenders for jobs in the culinary world.— Michael K. Mcintyre, cleveland, "West Side Catholic Center serves ‘often invisible’ population: Cleveland Champions," 13 Dec. 2019

    Matriculate

    A fancy word used to make yourself sound more intelligent in a high stakes situation. Actual definition is irrelevant, use it confidently to replace any more common word and earn immediate respect from your friends and co-workers.

    Len: What's the play coach?
    Hank (Coaching in the Super Bowl and aware he is mic'd for sound): Just keep matriculating the ball down the field, boys.
    Len: Got it coach!
    Otis (Back in the huddle): What the hell does matriculate mean?
    Len: I have no idea, but from the context it is clear he wants us to continue advancing the ball, and I'm inspired as fuck right now.

    49ers G Laken Tomlinson is this year’s Kyle Van Noy
    A former first-round pick, Tomlinson was every bit as bad with the Lions as Van Noy was
    Traded for a fifth-round pick, Tomlinson now is a solid starter
    THAT’s why they’re the Lions

    49ers should be 3 to 4.5 point favorites. Overlay here.

    KC has scored 80+ points in the playoffs. Chiefs should be 6 point favorites by offense alone.

    Chiefs are good for five or six horrible plays a game, particularly penalties. But most important, the team with the superior defense is always my bet in a Super Bowl. KC can't spot the Niners a double-digit lead.
    Caveat: Chiefs certainly capable of winning, but they've got to make Garoppolo throw. He has a pick or two in him.

    This Super Bowl will harken back to XXXVII...the Chiefs will simply crush the Niners, around 48-21.

    Mahomes ascendant.

    Kansas City has at least the best five players in this game — Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce, Frank Clark, Mitchell Schwartz.

    And the only M.D., on the offensive line no less. Tres bien, Laurent Duvernay-Tardif.

    I have to think KC.

    They can score either by throwing, running or having the QB run. Their defense over the last seven games is only giving up like 17 ppg or close to that.

    KC just shut down the Titan running game, which is better than KC’s.

    Unless San Fran’s d-line demolishes KC’s, I just don’t see them winning.
