Shooter: Adam Weber says he's never seen a closer Gophers football team

[BleedGopher]

Fifth-year senior quarterback Adam Weber said this season's Gophers are the closest internally since he has been at the University of Minnesota.

"As far as guys caring for each other, and that's what it's all about," Weber said.

Weber, at 23 the oldest player on the team, took a sports law course this summer and said he might be interested in law school. He graduated with a 3.3 grade-point average in sports marketing.

— Ex-Gophers defensive end Willie VanDeSteeg, who spent last season on the Baltimore Ravens' practice squad, was released by the Ravens.

I heard they all say good night to each other just like on the Waltons. It takes like 2 hours complete.

What? I thought you had to study "Pre-Law" to be interested in law school?

What do I do with all the Pre-Med credits I accrued at the U? Do they expire worthless if I don't go to med school?

Maybe you can cash them in for better seats in the stadium?

Not serious.

One of my roommates went to Johns Hopkins Med School. (He was the doctor with the Richard Zednik thing, and Kevin Everett from the Buffalo Bills). And although he majored in microbiology or something like that, we always joked that he never took anything called a Pre-Med class.

All the attorneys I know never took anything called Pre-Law. They were history majors, econ, mechanical engineering (they all become patent lawyers).

It's just been a running joke...mostly in my head.

Pre-med or pre-law? Is there a difference?

Otter: Point of parliamentary procedure!
Hoover: Don't screw around, they're serious this time!
Otter: Take it easy, I'm pre-law.
Boon: I thought you were pre-med.
Otter: What's the difference?

Denny Crane & Alan Shore?

 

[Mick Turition]

Maturi says he's o.k. with the team being close or with the team not being close, either way he's all right with it.

Close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades. I'm glad they are close but that needs to translate in W's on the football field. I'm sure at the end of the day, they give each other a big hug.

The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with our female party guests - we did (wink).

There is no such thing as "pre law." This is a term used by poseurs.

Pre med, on the other hand, I believe is an actual major with a specific set of courses. At least that's how I understand it. I am not a doctor.

Pre-med is not a major. You need to take a specific set of courses (Calculus, Biology (many of them), Physics, Chem & O-Chem, etc) to be able to apply to most medical schools, but it is not a major. The combination of those courses will not qualify you for any degree of any kind.

That's true. All those classes pretty much allow you to apply to any health professional program and you usually end up having a biology, chemistry, physics, math, etc. degree.

 

[BreakTheGopherCurse]

now that's funny!!

 

[hyaluronic]

I think it depends on the school on whether or not pre-med is a major, though it probably behooves you to specialize in one of the sciences or engineering in case med school doesn't come to fruition.

Nope. Sorry, I'm a bit of an expert in this field. Anything that qualifies you as pre-med can steer you into another field. There's a lot of people who try and fail to make it into med school. When they graduate, they have a degree in something. None of them are in "pre-med."

But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America.
