Wrong glass, Sir.
A few points in tsun's favor. Their boasts about academics are at least grounded in reality, if not quite at the level they think. What achievements and success did Fredo ever have before the 60s or much less WW2? They were referred to, in Ohio, as a "four corner" university no different than OU, KSU or BG and funded in an appropriations bill with them (Ohio State had its own separate annual funding bill befitting its flagship status). Before that, they literally shut their doors for a decade at the turn of the century because they couldn't find students to go there. And I'll say that tsun is definitely not a monolithic popped collar school. Entitled yes, but at least it--like other Big Ten schools-- is diverse and anyone can find their niche and fit in there.
So at the end of the day, both douchebags? A resounding yes. Just one has some things to at least be smug about. The other is just delusionally douchey.

What happened to my ¤cash?
I can say that I saw Henson play AAA Minor League ball once. Happened to be in Toledo. I think he was in the Yankee’s org, no? Meh... WTF do / did I care about Henson or baseball for that matter.

He played for the Columbus clippers
Henson was selected in the third round with the 97th overall selection in the 1998 Major League Baseball Draft. He signed a six-year, $17 million contract to forgo the NFL and play exclusively for the Yankees.[6] He began his minor league playing career with the Gulf Coast Yankees in 1998, where he hit .316 (12-for-38) in 10 games.
In 1999, he was promoted to the Tampa Yankees, the Single-A affiliate of the New York Yankees. In his first year of playing, he batted .280 with 13 home runs and 37 RBIs in 69 games.
He began 2000 with Tampa, and after hitting .333, he was promoted to the AA Norwich Navigators and hit seven home runs before he was traded to the Cincinnati Reds with fellow prospects Jackson Melián and Ed Yarnall for Denny Neagle. He finished the summer with the Reds' AA affiliate in Chattanooga, hitting .172 (11-for-64) with one home run and 9 RBIs in 16 games, before returning to football practice at Michigan.
In 2001, he was traded back to the Yankees with Michael Coleman for Wily Mo Pena. However, he struggled at the AAA level Columbus Clippers. He hit .234 over three seasons as the Clippers starting third baseman. Frustrated by his lack of progress and in need of a third baseman at the major league level, the Yankees acquired Aaron Boone at the 2003 trading deadline.[7]
Boone eventually hit a pennant-clinching home run against the Boston Red Sox in the 2003 postseason, but then injured his knee in a pickup basketball game during the offseason. The injury would keep him out for the entire 2004 season.[8]
Henson played a total of eight games in the majors. He received a token call up with the Yankees in 2002 and played in three games. He struck out in his only at-bat. In 2003, he played in five games, going one for eight and scoring two runs. He ended his brief major league career with only one hit in nine at-bats (a .111 average) before announcing his retirement the same year.[9]
After not being considered by the Yankees to replace Boone at third base and with an opportunity looming in the NFL, Henson announced that he was leaving the Yankees in February 2004.[10] He was released from his contracts, after being unable to negotiate on the buyout of the $12 million still left on his original contract, forcing him to forgo all of it.[11][12]

Steve Deace ready to quit the sport....
"I can't understand what the case is to go to Michigan over Ohio State for any player, especially a skill player.... Unless it's a personal thing for you - you grew up a Michigan fan, you have a personal connection with a coach - but if you're just lining it up, there's no reason any recruit would choose Michigan over Ohio State, especially a skill player."
BTW, how perfect is Steve's outfit? Nothing says Michigan Man like a Darth Vader tee-shirt and a piss-yellow block M hat.
