<p>Hahaha, alright buddy. Tell yourself whatever you want, idc. You made it clear when we went over this last time you were clearly biased / had no idea what you were talking about. "Akron engineering is top notch"  "Miami of Ohio is overall on par with Michigan"</p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(128,0,0)">Both of those statements are absolutely fact. I am glad you are coming around.</span></p>


<p>"Every tiny little Liberal Arts College in Ohio is apparently better than Michigan".</p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(128,0,0)">I didn't say "every"....but yes, several small liberal arts colleges in Ohio are better....at liberal arts... than Michigan.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(128,0,0)">My son attended Kenyon...and considered Oberlin and Denison.  At what they do, yes, those are better.</span></p>


<p>Then as that thread progressed you backed off of what you had said, tried to change the subject a few times, then it ended. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to this subject so there's no point in trying to argue. </p>

<p><span style="color:rgb(128,0,0)">I don't see where I backed of anything. The only thing I conceded was that a big, big school like Michigan is better at being big (having more programs) than the smaller schoolsl around here.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(128,0,0)">But, hell, if just being big is your thing...then Ohio St. has you beat there.</span></p>

<p>I guess I am just trying to convince myself I didn't make a mistake... bummer</p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(128,0,0)">No, I am sure you can get a fine education at Michigan.  If you are happy and comfortable with your school, I guess that is all that matter.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(128,0,0)">(FYI, I will take the Pharmacology Dept. at Minnesota over the one at Mich.)</span></p>

He was one of the guys in the fight that got thrown out for throwing punches and then he is charged for assaulting two Ohio State fans in Ann Arbor after the game is over. He claims that he was breaking up the fight? When he was just involved in a fight on the field hours before? That is what seemed fishy to me. I can understand that sometimes things happen and people get charged for things that they didn't do, but I find it hard in this instance to believe his version of what happened.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/394916</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/394916</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Harry Buffalo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 22 Mar 2014 16:29:42 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Remove this guy from draft consideration? on Sat, 22 Mar 2014 16:02:48 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/mld-woody" aria-label="Profile: mld-woody">@<bdi>mld-woody</bdi></a> <a href="/post/394904">said</a>:</p><div>

<p>Ryan Tucker did very well for a few years after moving from tackle to guard. Hopefully we can keep our investment in Schwartz and improve the line with a qualified tackle.</p>
