The other gem of a quote was that Levi Brown owes Jake Long his signing bonus, because if Jake Long had gone into the draft there is no way that Brown would have been taken so high.

The only reason Long is back at Michigan is to try not lose to Ohio State at least once in his career, therefore, shouldn't Levi owe Ohio State his signing bonus? :tongue2:

You gotta love tressel, our players stay quiet and dont run their mouths, we have been one of the most sucessful programs in the past 5 years (i would say USC probably has us beat, back to back to back to back titles help :biggrin:) we kick scUMs ass on the field and now in the classroom.

Mike Hart is true Michigan. All talk no results. I can not wait until the underdog Buckeyes walk into the little house. I vbet that Mike Hart puts up bulletin material prior to the game. Oh wait he already did that by his comments last year.

I'm not trying to troll if it comes off as so. But why are you guys so hell-bent on saying Hart talks too much? I'm seriously just curious. Is it because of the "if we play them again it will be a different outcome" comments he made last year? Is he not allowed to voice his opinion? If he thinks that's what would have happened, why shouldn't he say it? I personally don't think U-M would have won a rematch (unless we found our defense which appeared to be riddled with impostors during that game) , but doesn't mean others can't think the other way.

The venom around here directed at Mike Hart began to bubble a couple of years ago when Hart made his famous 'This is Michigan, we never lose three games a year,' plea to explain the mindset of how Michigan was going to rebound in 2005. Of course, this was coming off the 2004 9-3 season, which was seen as comical around here given the previous records for the decade to that point were: 10-3, 10-3, 8-4, 9-3.

To add insult to injury, UM went on to go 7-5 that year.

Hart has been running his mouth since he got to campus. Most people wouldn't take issue with that if he were clever, funny, taking us behind the woodshed like Biakabutuka, or generally just bothered to back any of it up, ever. The issue is that he runs his mouth and always says spectacularly dumb things, 99.9% of which are completely wrong to boot. Add to that that he is also apt to fly off the handle after tough losses and always rationalizes how the better team lost, and you've got three years worth of quotes from spring, fall, pre-game, and post-game that evidence he's a whiny little spoiled bitch, and a sore loser.

Every college has the issue of having student athletes choose degrees like general studies or others to get by....even OSU and stanford. I am not going to knock on general degree majors out there because they have my respect, but it is very flexible and easier than other majors. A lot of athletes choose majors in college as secondary options because they have bigger goals of pro ball or whatnot. Michigan seems to be doing it more so than others though, which is cause for concern. Michigan still has one of the best academic programs in the big 10, OSU has made strides to catch up, but it doesn't really make up for having a large slew of your athletes taking general studies.

Kinesiology is no walk in the ballpark depending on what college you are enrolled in to. OSU does not have a kinesiology undergrad program to my knowledge. I am enrolled in exercise science which takes up kinesiology in the program. You need extensive physics, biology, and chemistry to pursue a degree in kinesiology, but it all depends on the program. Not to make it out to be ungodly though, because it isn't a med school type difficulty unless you are looking at it for graduate school.

I always took delight in the hypocrisy of "Harvard of the West" and her Heisman Trophy winning athlete that couldn't handle verbs of being or speak in complete sentences.

That has ended with Ohio State's new(er) enrollment policies. I wouldn't spend too much energy on the general studies issue as it is bound to be our turn in the very near future.

You may also recall that Robert Smith claimed that he left the team because he was told to avoid more demanding courses in the pre-med program.

I doubt that OSU will ever reach the UM level of hypocrisy, at least with respect to football, although hoops could be another story. I keep a casual eye on OSU player majors, and they don't seem unduly concentrated in any one school or field. As for "Dr." Smith, he's claimed a lot of things over the years . . . I'm more disappointed that Oden suggested that he was pushed to not challenge himself academically, although as a one and done guy who couldn't be bothered to finish up his spring classes to help the school's APR, it didn't seem like that big of a deal to him.

Regardless, it is annoying when a guy like Crable ostensibly goes to UM because of their "great business school" and then does the "general studies" or "kinesiology" thing.

Pat Forde exposes michigan's academics

ESPN - Forde: Facts the real issue in Michigan's family feud - Columnist

A highlight:

All it takes to see that is a scan of the 2007 Michigan media guide. Only 30 players have listed majors, and 19 of them are pursuing degrees in something called "general studies." That's 20 percent of the team, and 63 percent of the players who have declared a major.

Yet a university spokesman said this week that less than 1 percent of the undergraduate student body is in the general studies degree program. The spokesman said there are fewer than 200 general studies students out of an undergrad population of nearly 25,000.

And that's not all. The other declared degree programs on the football team are: movement science (three players); sports management and communications (two); economics (two); P.E. (one); psychology (one); English (one); and American culture (one). There appears to be one undeclared player enrolled in the business school and another in the college of engineering.

Only one junior has declared a major, according to the guide (in movement science). In 18 years of covering college athletics, I've never seen virtually an entire junior class without a major.
