Freshman Mistakes

I hate when the people who are paid to talk and analyze televised college basketball games proclaim, "That's a Freshman mistake." Fifth year seniors make the same mistakes. The only reason why it may happen more frequently with a Freshman is that there are not many upperclassman remaining who are actually seeing time on the court. All the good ones have long since left college hoping to find someone who'll pay them to play. And if someone has statistical proof that dumb mistakes happen more frequently with Freshmen, it's certainly not majorly exclusive to them.

And another thing .... Where is this list of egregiously naive errors that fall into the category of Freshman mistakes? How do you distinguish the Freshman mistakes from all the others? Walking around campus for forty-five minutes searching for the way back to your dorm, that's a rookie mistake. Forgetting to attend your Psychology 101 class .... I'd consider that also to be a Freshman mistake.
