[Howlin]

Take a look!

[SpaceBar]

I would have scored a perfect zero on such an exam. Besides, I don't even like hockey.

[Aeronaut]

I (unless guessing correctly) don't know the answers to 3, 4, 9, 12, 13, 19, and 20.

[onyx]

Good grief, Howlin. What a catch.

Hey yall, what's with the "eddycatin" at Georgia U?

[Howlin]

I heard them talking about it on MSNBC.....they were dying laughing.

[Quilla]

ROFLOL!

[Mr. Mojo]

How many halves are in a college basketball game? a. 1 b. 2 c. 3 d. 4

ROTFLMAO

Let the Big Dawg Read.

We are not exactly proud of this here at UGA.

We got rid of the coach, but can't seem to get rid of UGA President Michael Adams, who is the one who insisted Harrick be hired in the first place.

[AdamSelene235]

When a student flunks out of Ga. Tech and enrolls in UGA, the average SAT of both schools goes up !!

[Consort]

21. At what time is midnight basketball played? a. 9:00 am b. 6:30 pm c. 12:00 am d. 12:00 pm

[NYCVirago]

Mike and the Mad Dog, the big NYC sports radio show, are reading this exam right now! Pretty funny.

[firewalk]

Great test (-:
thanks for the ping

[Quilla]

I imagine it would be quite embarrassing to the University and I wish UGA the best. But you've got to admit, spacebar's comment about hockey was hilarious.

[Howlin]

Nobody here is supposing that this ONLY goes on a UGA.

I myself am an N.C. State fan. :-)

[dakine]

Now I know why the H.S. counselors steered me away from college...

And while this is going on China is graduating more students in the higher-math and sciences alone than all the US graduates, in all majors ranging from Asian arts to Zoology, put together. Makes sense why all those companies are creating mega job-fairs outside Chinese universties (there was a program showing how they are flocking outside Chinese campuses) yet the only thing they can do for us is for Bill Gates to tell Computer majors to 'not give up.'

It is actually funny, yet it is not.

Anyways, it is nice to know that if we ever need to know how many quarters are in a basket ball game we will never come up short. Although God forbid they are asked to convert the fraction to a decimal ....i recall reading something about a high percentage of college students who could not convert fractions to decimals.

Is it a dirty little secret that most coaches give their players the exams while on the busses to various sporting events. Of course, they also 'help' them with the answers and whose to know the difference.
