Michigan - Christiane Amanpour. Ohio State - John McCain

[LisaM]

Those are the commencement speakers and this, my friends, is the difference between Michigan and Ohio State.

1. But Michigan gave us Ann Coulter

[LisaM]

2. How she got through their law school is beyond me

She went to the same undergrad as Keith Olbermann (Cornell) and he is constantly scratching his head over it.

Michigan also gave us Tom Hayden!

3. It was that evil affirmative action thing

Had to meet the quota for she-devils.

[LisaM]

4. LOL, good one! n/t

[madinmaryland]

5. Apparently she was as nutty then as she is now!

6. Who gives a shit?

We still have Jim Tressel and you don't.

[LisaM]

7. THANK GOD FOR THAT

You are welcome to that cheating little Jesus freak. Now he's even changing the uniform colors!

[sasquatch]

8. Changing the Uniform Colors?

:shrug:

[LisaM]

9. Took the gray off the jerseys, from what I understand

and replaced it with red (or maybe black) stripes.

[sasquatch]

11. No biggie they've done it before

[LisaM]

12. It doesn't mean Tressel isn't a twerp

He runs a for-credit class teaching football and it's only open to football players and you can get up to ten credits for it!

[sasquatch]

13. That's not true

The NCAA investigation proved it was false. Just cause your half ass coach can't beat ours doesn't mean you have to smear him.

[DancingBear]

15. Stop that!

If you keep insulting Lloyd Carr (known to Buckeye fans as "the gift that keeps on giving") somebody "up there" might realize how bad a coach he is, and replace him.

Sssssshhhhhh. :)

16. Only if you help me smackdown LisaMN

:D

[LisaM]

17. This is from the Washington Post

"Not 'Vital to Our Program'

At Ohio State, football players can repeat Buckeyes Coach Jim Tressel's two-hour course -- SFHP 196.06
or "Varsity Football" -- as many as five times for a total of 10 credits. Last fall, 91 student-athletes were enrolled in the course, and all received "satisfactory" grades, Ohio State records show. Ohio State's online registrar showed 90 of 100 seats are taken for Tressel's class this coming fall quarter."

Now, this was from late 2004, so maybe you have something to show me to prove that it's not true. I also heard this reported during a Michigan/Notre Dame game. They said Penn State did it too.

[LisaM]

18. Look, the football class is in their CURRENT catalogue

I just looked it up!

But even if it weren't, you STILL have McCain as a graduation speaker. Ycchh!

[Dukkha]

10. yes and we also had * a few years back too

we'll probably never win a championship again now!

I remember reading that the students wee ordered not to try & protest or they will be arrested and denied graduation. They were also ordered to give * a rousing ovation.

[sasquatch]

14. We had a DUer arrested at that event
