<p>Manning...anybody who beats Marino's single-season TD record is awesome but yeah I don't think he has the composure in the BIG games now but he might get it. </p>
<p>I hate everything Ohio State after reading up on Maurice Clarett. In ESPN Mag, Clarett said that Coach Tressell lent him his Tahoe (which is a clear violation of NCAA rules). And since the players can't get a paid salary, Clarett and many other players just work some sh-- jobs that normal students would get paid $6 / hr, but the football players would get paid $100s, even $1000s a week (and often they'd get paid even if they didn't show up to work). </p>
<p><a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=1919246%5B/url%5D">http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=1919246</a>, read this. It'll make you hate OSU.</p>
<p>And with the Patriots, THEY ARE A DYNASTY (coming from a 'phins fans). Any team that can win 2 superbowls in 3 years in today's NFL is amazing. If you compare the Pats to the 70's Steelers...the old NFL didn't have all the salary caps that are infamous for breaking up good teams. Besides, once a team wins the Superbowl, every team in the NFL studies their offense and defense down to a T...so most of their secrets are exposed. So if Belichick can come up with new surprises and near-perfect formations...then they deserve it.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, and who cares if a player is a good ROLE MODEL...? I love Warren Sapp cause he talks trash but he can back it up, but he's not a bad guy (compared to a Bryan Cox, Michael Irvin, or Randy Moss). I like those guys too. They're characters.</p>
<p>Just to add one thing to your argument Kman, the Patriots have won 3 SBs in 4 years. That's even more impressive than 2 in 3 years! hehe</p>
<p>Great point about other teams giving you extra respect, preparing extra hard and knowing you extra better when you are at the top. You can bet that since 2001, the team that has been played the hardest and studied the most has been the Pats.</p>
<p>Yeah Ohio State is by far the trashiest "college" in the country. No other athletic department shows blatantly disregard like that of THE ohio state university. Their fans are white trash idiots, and the only reason they won the national title in 2003 was because the ref was incompetent. Miami should have won, especially since osu qb craig krenzel was 7-21 with 2 interceptions and only one touchdown. Clarrett was probably academically inelligible to even play, and the buckeyes were fortunate to not lose like 5 games. That "championship" is definitely not legitimate. I agree that football would be too dry were every player a role model. The game needs people like randy moss and terrell owens. Bellichek can outcoach any other coach in the nfl. Tom Moore, however, is the best offensive coordinator in the league.</p>
<p>Yeah I noticed I put 2/3 championships instead of 3/4 years. But yeah, I get more into college football. I like the atmosphere, the student band, the old tradition. The only thing about college football is the national championship...It can't compare to the Superbowl especially when a team like Auburn goes undefeated and doesn't even end up w/ a shared national title. And we have that co-championship of 1997.... I knew OK would get destroyed by USC. If you look at the more recent bowl game history, SEC-ACC-PAC 10 teams usually beat Big 10-Big 12 teams 2/3 of the time anyway. BTW, defensive-strong teams like the Pats will rarely blow other teams out of the water, so expecting them to win by a great margin in the superbowl to show they're the TRUE champions is ridiculous to me. This year, I hope the Wolverines could have a rematch with the Longhorns down in Pasadena though USC will probably take it all again this year. Matt Leinart, now he's a real Heisman QB.</p>
<p>I've got a few more Michigan questions:
1) Does anyone have a link to the core classes for LSA(specifically, I don't like math, and want to know how little I can take)?
2) Does being instate help my chances at the honors program if stats are up to par?
3) How easy is it to double major?
Thanks!</p>
<p>Brownorbust:</p>
<p>1) Depends on major, not school. Econ majors have to take Calculus. Anthropology and English majors do not. </p>
<p>2) No.</p>
<p>3) Again, it depends on the majors. Double majoring in Biology and Economics for example is doable. It is never "easy" at Michigan, but it can be done. On the other had, I would not recommend double majoring in Engineering and Music or Business and Engineering.</p>
<p>what about double majoring in Cell and Molecular Biology with Political Science? lol</p>
<p>Double majoring in Biology and Political Science is very common at Michigan. It is tough, but certainly manageable.</p>
<p>cmdb is 33 credits, and poly sci is 18, so it is manageable</p>
<p>wait r u serious? I read in this book of courses here that its 24 for poli sci...isnt 18 for like minoring?</p>
<p>yeah go by the course guide-24, then</p>
<p>1.) how are the people at the residential college? is it a party dorm? i'm thinking about applying for it.</p>
<p>It's only 15 to minor for political science, 24 for the major distribution (I was an engineering student looking into double majoring, then found out I would also have to do all the LSA core requirements, not just take 9 credits, to get the double major).</p>
<p>Rose, I would not describe the Residential College as a party place. The students are quirky and artsy, but not necessarily party animals. If you like the concept of a LAC and are yourself a bit of a quirky and artsy intellectual, it may be a good fit.</p>
<p>What would be considered the party dorm? I myself got into UIR or MRC withever you would like to call it and I know that it is substance free so they won't be partying which is good cause I'll get some sleep at night and won't have to worry about trying to not walk into the puke in the hallway in the morning. Is all of Mosher-Jordan substance free or just the 3rd floor?</p>
<p>I'm from Ann Arbor, I go to Pioneer High School across from the golf course and the stadium, so I basically know enough about Ann Arbor. My question about the university though, is how is the food in the dorm? My parents said it was awful when they went. I don't know if I can get in, I got the "Ann Arbor factor" hopefully working for me, but a 3.6 GPA, 29 on the ACT seems borderline.</p>
<p>UIR made the change from substance free to alcohol-free for this upcoming year (all dorms are non-smoking). Does this mean you can bring drugs, alcohol, or smoke inside? Absolutely not, it only means you won't have to be expelled from the learning community on a first offense (there were a few people this past year on the UIR floor who did get busted with alcohol).</p>
<p>The food at Michigan is alright, and there are plenty of choices for every meal. In addition, there's two different menus on campus: the Blue and the Maize, so if you don't like what they're serving at your dorm, you can find something different nearby.</p>
<p>Every dorm is a party dorm. Substance free does not mean anything. Markley is I guess the stereotypical party dorm, but people will be drinking/partying in every dorm. East Quad is no exception-I lived there freshman year, and several times we had kegs in dorm rooms. People however usually just pre party in the dorms and then go out.</p>
<p>I've got a few more questions:
1) Is there a harsh curve in grading for all disciplines, not just engineering and pre-med.(I am considering Poli Sci, Econ, and Psych)?
2) How many students are "pre-law" in the sense that they are planning on heading to law school?
3)Is this the correct link for LSA core classes?<a href="http://www.lsa.umich.edu/lsa/cg/aboutreqs/requirements/%5B/url%5D">http://www.lsa.umich.edu/lsa/cg/aboutreqs/requirements/</a></p>
<p>Thanks, sorry to ask so many questions</p>
