Nick Hill to MSU

as of a few years ago their education program was the best in the country hands down. Also joseph Lulloph is one of the best saxophone teachers in the country. Their wind ensemble is very good also. I would say all around a very good music program. I applied to MSU but wasnt good enough academically to get in. oh well, im very happy at calvin college.

1) Nuclear Physics
2) AgSci
3) Vet Sci
4) journalism

shall we keep going? perhaps we'll get past the fingers on one hand.

On your new position as mgoblog editor.

Not to call you out in two posts in a row but 'biggest facility' doesn't mean jack if you don't have the faculty to run it. If I wanted to work on nuclear research I would rather work in a closest office at the University of Chicago then a 1/2 acre corner office at MSU just because of the co-workers I would be working with.

But to give credit where it's due, I like how the state and MSU got that facility in East Lansing. It was a great catch.

This will not happen again, thanks for the heads up.

...MSU fans should not be casting stones when it comes to the topic of coaches slapping anyone:

I KEED! I KEED!

Seriously, though, wasn't there a story floating around that John L. actually slapped Lamaar Woodley during a recruiting visit? Not as a "bitch, take that" kinda way, but in an utterly failed "let's get pumped" way? I seem to recall one of the MATW guys getting that dope from LW.

If by that you mean you want a source... and I quoth

"Son, I don't know if you're big enough to handle a Big Ten season. Look at you! But I hear you can stop on a dime, and all the guys like you. I'll tell you what-if I've got a scholarship left over in a few weeks, I'll give it to you."
Then, dammit, I saw Jamie's eyes. Aw, fer cryin' out loud! You've never seen such a puppy-dog look... but Jamie somehow got his heart set on Michigan's winged helmet... I offered him a full scholarship right then and there, and Jamie took it.

This current Miami Dolphin is distinguished for his 4 years of impressive play as the starting quarterback at the University of Michigan, but is more commonly known as the guy whose freshman success is frequently lauded without an inkling of logic suggesting that it would be highly improbable for one to do so without a tremendous supporting cast.

No that's not what I'm saying. Of course there are limits. If we just gave scholarships to people who loved Michigan, most of the guys on this blog would have one. In my mind there isn't that much of a difference between Austin White and Nick Hill. Sorry that I didn't say that originally. Referencing your example the dropoff from Tate to a bag of balls to Nick Sheridan is so great that at that point love for Michigan doesn't matter.

edit- and Tate obviously loves Michigan. If Sheridan loved it so much he wouldn't have played so bad last year (JOKE)
