<p>I’m not sure how a city being 40 minutes away from campus could bother a student that much but ok!</p>
<p>Zelda already posted about this in post #337</p>
<p>It’s a 20 min train ride, not 40 minutes.</p>
<p>This is super-nerdy that I looked it up (I’ve never taken the CalTrain), but according to the train schedule, it’s an hour from Palo Alto to Downtown San Francisco if the train makes all of the stops.</p>
<p>Can there even BE a most complete university?</p>
<p>@OCELITE, I think you and some others are giving Michigans “harsh” weather more credit than it deserves. And you realized you just asked me “would you rather be killed by a tornado or live somewhere with mild weather.” I guess you got me, I’d rather live in Cali than be killed by a tornado. California does not have four seasons. If that is winter then it’s also winter when I open the fridge and look for something to eat.</p>
<p>And don’t even get me started about the Rose Bowl. I’d expect USC to have the most wins. Not only do they come from a historically weaker conference but they play the game in their freaking backyard. Big Ten teams travel across the country, USC steps outside. I’d love to see their record if it alternated stadiums with s Big Ten venue every year. Ir hell, if any bowl game came up north.</p>
<p>Your response to me making fun of you “D3 student like” response to m4dskillz was that D3 schools have netter financial aid? True or not, who cares? This is best overall university. I could get a full ride to Toledo but I’d still never consider it. </p>
<p>And you have a better chance of playing sports at a D3 school. So you basically said, you have a better chance of playing, if you try out for a worse team… really! </p>
<p>So Chapman gets on TV, and that makes the local news. Not exactly to best selling point for D3 athletics, ya think?</p>
<p>Well, USC is going to be in the ****ter for the next 2 years due to their NCAA sanctions.</p>
<p>So it’s really up to Michigan now to shine.</p>
<p>If you can’t beat USC this year, then your team is awful.</p>
<p>@CGeresti, Michigan does nit have the best OOS financial aid. They throw money at IS kids though. All I’ve gotten these first chances our federal loans. My family is definitely not rich too. My dad just happened to know what he was doing and save up money for me so FAFSA didn’t like me. </p>
<p>Unless you are really in need or really smart, don’t expect anything.</p>
<p>Michigan has no way to play this USC team. They aren’t on our schedule and they are banned from bowls. USC can still use their depth. It’ll be in the next few years where we really see the effects of these lost schollies</p>
<p>Ah, yes, Forgot about the Bowl ban /facepalm</p>
<p>It’s the loss in scholarships that hurts them the most though</p>
<p>@jsanche32 How does it make a team awful if they can’t beat USC? They still consistently recruit well, just look at recruiting rankings. They have plenty of young talent. Matt Barkely is maturing and Robert Woods is a terrific young receiver. Dillon Baxter will improve and the defense has playmakers, too.</p>
<p>Michigan has been on a downward spiral for a while now. You can recruit as well as you like. But if you still suck…then what?</p>
<p>2007: 9-4-0</p>
<p>2008: 3-9-0
2009: 5-7-0
2010: 7-6-0</p>
<p>Combined 15-22-0 record the last 3 years. 2007 was your last decent year.</p>
<p>I’m talking about USC.</p>
<p>Michigan was 15-22 because RichRod can’t coach at all and can’t recruit defense. With Brady Hoke things might get better</p>
<p>haha You can’t just blame the coach. Fact is, they have been terrible even though you claimed that they recruit well.</p>
<p>Hellloooo I was talking about USC not michigan.</p>
<p>I think we all know Rich Rodriguez can’t recruit. He went to Michigan hoping to get talent from the southeast and totally failed, besides getting Denard Robinson. And it’s hard to recruit against Tressel’s car dealership in Columbus. Lol</p>
<p>I would love to give you an in depth reasoning for why Michigan fell off these last three years. In truth there are a lot of reasons, not just Rrod. I would go more in depth like I said, but I don’t feel like going THAT off track.</p>
<p>Michigan does have one of the top recruiting classes right now (for what its worth) and will eventually be back to their old ways</p>
<p>It says something when you can sell out a 114,000 seat stadium consistently while having one of the worse three year stretches in your 100+ year program.</p>
<p>My bad, I thought you meant Michigan and ran with that.</p>
<p>Michigan has had 100,000+ attendance for the last 250+ consecutive games. Also I think winter in the northeast is worse. Michigan doesn’t really get blizzards. It Never really snows over 10 inches in one day. On the east coast you can get like 30 inches of snow in one day. Michigan is just cold in the winter and cloudy. Not really a lot of snowfall. </p>

<p>USC has more Rose Bowl wins because for a long time the Big 10 wouldn’t allow the same team to go in consecutive years.</p>
