Drago's - the charbroiled oysters are to die for; fantastic seafood!



Jacques-Imo's - amazing Cajun and southern comfort food for a reasonable price; I would suggest the duck but really it's all good!

The difference is that all students can meet a GPA requirement, while in football only 11 guys are on the field at once. The more accurate comparison would be an academic scholarship that required you to be in the top 5% of your school, a significant challenge when a hypothetical incoming class of geniuses shows up. But how were you supposed to know all of them would come to UM?

I agree that the academic scholarship model is a good comparison, but I believe you're looking at it the wrong way. For academics, you are told to meet a certain criteria (ex: 3.7 GPA) or you lose it. With academics, however, there isn't necessarily a limit to the number of students who can meet that requirement.



In football, there is--only so many people can be on the field at once. Things outside of your control, like a coach deciding to recruit several more players at your position, shouldn't in my opinion influence whether you get to keep your scholarship. I believe that if you excel at the things within your control (i.e. working hard in practice, going to all required training, watching film), then you are meeting the expectations of the scholarship.



A more fair comparison would be an academic scholarship that said you had to have a GPA in the top 5% of the school. You better hope those incoming freshman aren't very smart...

I don't really get it.  Objectively speaking, Ohio State actually has pretty decent looking uniforms.  The red pops, and the helmets with buckeyes are distinctive.  *sigh*

Can you believe all of this started because the Big 10 wanted to go to 12 teams?  Psh..and the Big 10 is irrelevant *rolls eyes*

There are 2 garages up by the medical school that are free all weekend (starting 6pm on Friday - 6am on Monday). Go on the Michigan Parking and Transportation website, click Permit Parking and then the tab on enforcement. Scroll down and you can see the permit time enforcements for most of the garages on campus.

There are some garages around the medical canter (Catherine Street) that are free all weekend. It's a bit farther of a walk, but it may be an option.

Their biggest issue is that the UN Medical Center, which has an appreciable amount of NIH/NSF research dollars, is a separate entity than UN-Lincoln and is thus not counted towards the University's research portfolio.
