BIGBLUE01 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I got 16 out of 20. #19 threw me off because I wasn't paying attention to the fact that it said SOUTHERN hemisphere. So, where am I? Dan marino dumb, or am i all the way to Vince Young retardness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone scores a 6 on a legit try they couldn't earn even a Liberal Arts degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manningham left as a JR. if he got a degree I would be shocked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Money Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I imagine a lot of guys don't even try on the test. It's relevance is non-existant. I'm sure just about anyone here would outscore Mario by at least 20 points; all it means is that we're "smarter" when it comes to taking tests. On the flip side, his intelligence makes him much better at running routes and tracking down deep balls. Sadly for us, his type of intelligence tends to garner a much higher salary...

Money Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Manningham left as a JR. if he got a degree I would be shocked He never even bothered going to class. I'd be surprised if he even had junior standing upon leaving the school. The Ann Arbor News had a comprehensive series a few weeks back about how revenue-sport student-athletes are basically not students at all, and Mario is an extreme example of that.

xxi-xxv Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Well I am sure some kids that play football go to class I have to imagine that Henne and Long might have been decent students? Its a shame that these kids do not see how fortunate they are to be able to get that education AND play football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Money Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Well I am sure some kids that play football go to class I have to imagine that Henne and Long might have been decent students? Its a shame that these kids do not see how fortunate they are to be able to get that education AND play football. It's really not their choice. Being a varsity athlete is such a time commitment that they almost have no time during the season to focus on academics. Only a few can balance their sport and their schoolwork, but most usually take independent studies and other joke classes to get credits. And a decent amount just blow off academics altogether. Gabe Watson was here 4 years and left school 35 credits shy of a degree. It's hard to blame them when their future is the NFL and the school only cares about their athletic contributions. The truth is, schools like U-M bring these guys in to play football and nothing else. It's ultimately a reflection of the commercialization of the NCAA.

Which is why college athletes should get a stipend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lubeck Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 50 questions are not as easy- believe me. the best score i've ever seen was a 41. Plus you are not taking a test that could cost you millions. Mental games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarence the Blue Puppet Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Are they timed? Does it say anywhere how long it took these guys to take the test. I'm sure some of them just blow it off and put any answer just to get it over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarence the Blue Puppet Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Apparently they have 12 minutes to complete the 50 questions. Right, but what I mean is are there records for how long it took each player to do the test. They don't all take the entire 12 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 #17 is also a faulty question. Any person who took high school math can tell you that 9 is the only perfect square of those numbers. Sure, 10 is the only even number, too, but imagine how slighted I felt when I looked and the answer was 10 when I KNEW 9 was the only perfect square... Then doubting myself, I went back and actually checked all of them with a calculator. 9 is the only perfect square among those numbers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseygiantfan Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 5. Paper cells for 21 cents per pad. What will 5 pads cost? Really? Paper "cells"? Who's dumber? The people who wrote this test or the people who failed it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
