How I lost respect for US News

<p>“His nephew, who attended The University of Michigan courtesy of his uncle’s generosity in paying for his education”</p>

<p>Now, that’s the part I do not know…lol Thanks for sharing!! :)</p>

<p>Speaking of anecdote between the two schools, I am not sure if most Michigan students know that the famous campus landmark -the inscribed bronze “block M” seal on Diag was a dedication/gift to one of the school’s most influential former President Harlan Hatcher whose a lifelong buckeye fan/alumnus (BS/MA/phD), and would always greet Woody Hayes before and after the game in the locker room according to my Ohio State Football Encyclopedia. Yet, that particular sacred spot is known to be heavily guarded by the die-hard Michigan fans for all the football rivalry games. Kind of ironic if you ask me, if only they know the truth…@_@" Anyway, no pun intended!! :0</p>

<p>[[Probably the reason you deserve to be at Ohio State.]]</p>

<p>What’s the matter, informative? Did the guys in your high school who went to publics ignore you while getting the girls you lusted after? Is going to a private college your one great revenge upon all the meanies?</p>

<p>Sparkeye,
Thanks for the post, but I think you read that one backwards…they all LOST spots (some of them substantial drops) except for Purdue.</p>

<p>^^ oh… my bad… it’s my English skill again…lol</p>

<p>It should have been: All except Purdue ‘slip’ in this year’s USNWR ranking…</p>

<p>Of the 6 languages that I speak, English has never been my language forte? Does that sound right? @_@" Anyway, thanks for the correction!!! lol</p>
