May not be a great public speaker (yes I know this has been chopped together) but he beat the Bucks this year. That's all they care about up there. Plus they're headed to the Sugar Bowl.

Read in SI that he was asked if in recruiting if they will brin gup the issues at Ohio and Pennsylvania State College.

His response was 'if we need to focus on the negatives at another institution then we must not have enough positives at ours'.

This thread title should be in contention for the "Are You Shitting Me?" Yr End Award. I will admit Charlie Weis Jr. has turned the scUM program around and he seems to know his X's & O's on boths sides of the ball. But this fat buffoon's unsophisticated public persona is hardly in line with the almost Ivy League image scUM trys to project itself being.

Not a projection when the school is top 20 in academics every year. These are facts and many years they have 2 or 3 IVY league schools ranked behind them in academics.

Yea, overall, it is one of the better universities in the world. But, the quality of undergraduate students there is no different than just about every other school in the B1G. And not even close to Ivy League quality.

False. It's one of the best, and their average student is considerably better than the B1G average.

However like 99% of football schools, their players typically don't seek an education, their majors are jokes.

well big ten schools in general are ranked very high but Michigan is atop the big ten every year in academics and ahead of ivy schools every year.
