But I will say that Michigan (at least in the 2000's) had every type of political/ social group. There were religious, atheists, republicans. Democrats, guys who hunted, and vegetarians. I thing you are speculating too much.

By the way, almost every college campus and professor are liberal/ democrats. If argue michigan was less conservative than places like Wisconsin/ or Austin.

Mlaw grad here as well.  

I never saw that in any classroom from any professor.  

In fact, one of the best professors there is pretty conservative.  

That's not to say the professors aren't left leaning, they are.  I never, however, had a single one that was dismissive of a viewpoint simply because it conflicted with their own.  

Okay, scratch that.  Every single professor was dimissive of any viewpoint that wasn't their own, but I don't believe their dismissal was based on anything other than their own ego.

The vast majority of what I am talking about was from the students, not the faculty with con. law being the massive exception. My prof. was a total lefty who was dismissive of Scalia (even though he is probably the smartest guy on the court) and openly hostile towards anything having to do with Thomas.

Why do you say AA is conservative? Not trying to be difficult, however, a place that has the naked mile and hash bash isn't really my idea of a conservative town. AA is clean and the people mostly don't smell funny, so maybe that's the cause of the confusion??

which click/ group you roll with.

It's possible that the entire footbal team and staff are super left wing and that Bosch is not, but that;s unlikely.

Like I said, there is a group on campus that for everything. If you have a (legal) interest in life, you will find like minded people at Michigan (I mean there are like 40,000 students).

aware he isn't fitting in, are they part of the problem or the solution? It sounds like they are spreading stories and looking at him as a nut instead of looking out for the good of the team. Maybe I'm reading too much into your story but I see nothing of any efforts to include him, but a lot of indications that you and others may not agree with his views.

I would hate to think there is still  divisive cliques that you seem to be indicating and they aren't going to the coaches to help. Obviously I'm only going by what you stated here and it sounds ike you might have some knowledge.

Regardless, I hope he resolves whatever issues led to this and is able to return. I hope he has the support of his team.

The reasons are personal, varied and private, but a leave of absence requires a petition with dean's approval. So we know he has a good academic reason for taking time off, and it's expected he will return and be successful as a student. He'll be welcomed back.

Well thought out and even if its not the case here....you make some great points.

 

I have a buddy who's son went to Michigan (not an athlete) and he barely made it thru his first year before he left and went to a smaller and more comfotable (for him) college where he thrived.

He said it was hard to fit in at UM because he was not a part of the culture that Michigan is known for.

 

Regardless of what the reasons are for Mr. Bosch being gone...i hope things work out for him.

There is so much more to life than football.

It's good to see at least 99.9% of us have our heads and hearts in the right place here. I wish Bosch all the best in whatever he may be going through right now. Go Blue!

Write it out, so you get it out, and then DON'T POST IT.

I do it all the time.  If I sent half the dumb-ass stuff I've thought, I'd be in La Paz.

I don't know what's happing with Kyle, but I will tell you UM can be difficult.  I almost transferred, I mean I was sure it was the right thing to do.  In the end I stayed and am so glad.

I'm not saying this is happening to Bosch, but like someone said above, UM is a challenging place to be.  This is not patty cake school.
