Tim Hardaway and Trey Burke weren't really high-profile players, nor was Darius Morris, and all were high-profile players. "We're still looking at 'who is the best fit.' "

5 weeks 12 hours ago I think Trey will be back

Had they lost in the sweet 16, he's gone.  Team would have played as expected. 

 

Had they won, he's gone.  Can't have anything more spectactular than a victory after an incredible run.  Nothing left for him.

 

But now, there's an odd serenity around this team after the loss.  I think in some ways they affirmed what they always knew about each other, while at the same time really surprised themselves with what they both are each capable of and capable of together as a team.  This unit is special, and may just come back with a vengeance and chip on it's shoulder to essentially do what they now know and believe could have been done. I see him coming back for his teammates (though I won't BKFinest it).

I'm pretty sure almost every quaterback who started for michigan over an almost 20 span eventually drew a check in the NFL.  Suit yourself, but I take no issue in proclaiming us as QB-U.

Here's 1990-2013:

Elvis Grbac

Todd Collins

Scott Dreisbach

Brian Greise

Tom Brady

Drew Henson

John Navarre

Chad Henne

Ryan Mallett

*Steve Threet*

*Nick Sherridan*

*Tate Forcier*

Denard Robinson

Devin Gardner

 

*Exceptions (of course). 

Also I think safe to say both Denard and Devin will eventually make it into the NFL

as someone in the field of education, i concur with MCalibur --  it's a dumb thing to say.

 

for example, there's tons of prof's out there who can "do" just fine and yet couldn't teach a fish to swim. 

 

just because there's a dearth of outstanding teachers out there doesn't mean anyone can stand up and do it well.

boxes and boxes, brother.

called a sports card shop the other day while doing some spring cleaning; wanted to see what a 3" x 3" x 3" box of baseball and basketball cards might be worth circa '85-91.  his advice was basically that i toss them, or recycle them were i feeling environmentally concious...

the sports can and will go.  i'll hold on to a few of the comics though.

42 weeks 5 days ago the only advantage having a

the only advantage having a medical school has upon your undergraduate education is the guaranteed close proximity of a hospital and biomedical research.  given that every community has a hospital and most universities and colleges have biomedical research, students can achieve the benefits of patient care and research experience despite not having a local med school.

that being said, if you attend a university without a med school, it is very likely that university is a lower-tier school, and your chances of getting accepted to med school will be hindered due to the universy's lack of academic rigor.  that's notable, but ultimately it is the academic rigor of the undergraduate instituion and the individual's course of study that has the greatest bearing on evaluating the academic credentials of prospective students (aside from the obvious GPA and MCAT).

keep in mind, the purpose of the MCAT is to normalize applicants across a spectrum of schools and programs of study so that this all becomes moot (although it never really is).

* close enough to walk to downtown (though much easier to bicycle)

* apartments and townhouses available (with a garage!)

* rents in range with what you described

* walking distance to whole foods, busch's supermarket, qdoba, the stadium

Ooh, yeah. Um, I'm going to have to go ahead and sort of disagree with you there...

 

I know a bunch of prince's and domers who became MD's.  And I know a bunch of WSU undergrad's who weren't accepted to med while others from small liberal arts colleges were.

 

Not to mention,even if you have a med school:

the quality of undergrad ed =/= quality of med school

case in point -- us at the University of Michigan.

1 year 3 weeks ago also reposted from another thread...

Three days ago, I received an email invite from the AD and Phire Branding to participate in a survey.  I'm guessing I am not the only one who was invited, but neverless thought I'd share it with MGoNation in case it was not widely distributed. 

The body of the email stated:

"University of Michigan Athletics has contracted Phire Branding Company to perform the following brief survey. The goal of the survey is to provide Michigan Athletics with a better understanding of how to connect and build stronger relationships with their supporters. The information will be kept confidential and will not be used for solicitation. Results will remain anonymous and are not cross-referenced."

Please help do your part in supporting Michigan Athletics by responding with your suggestions on how the Athletic Department could better connect and builder stronger relationships with its supporters.
