Most college students probably dream of getting a final exam with questions like this: How many goals are on a basketball court? How many quarters are in a high school basketball game? How many points does a 3-point field goal account for?

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.

I admit, it was the first chuckle I've had all day. Spring break is next week and the students have all got a bad case of "the sillies". They are running me nutso.

Well, if you flunked out of Clemson, you were assured of getting into Ga Tech with a 2 point raise in your GPA.

Tech's average SAT is 1329.

Clemson's is considerably lower.

Tech's average SAT is 1329.

So it's about 1450 if you don't count the athletes? That's pretty impressive.

Unreal. I can proudly state that my alma mater's star basketball player is All American on the court... AND in the classroom (For Real, for once).

Emeka Okafor is graduating early with a 3.9 GPA in finance and by all accounts, he's on the up and up.

Now, if his sore back can heal this week, he can continue to carry the rest of the guys hopefully all the way in early April.

Considering that GA ranks 40th in the nation in education, I can see why this test looks like a joke to the rest of us.

I myself am an N.C. State fan.

This is too much! I saw this 'exam' on thewolfweb.com today.

DO NOT get me started on how we choked last night vs. the Twerps.

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

U.S. News And World Report ranks The University Of Georgia among the nation's top 20 public universities.

It ranks ahead of Purdue, Ohio State, Indiana, Alabama, Rutgers, Clemson, Minnesota, Virginia Tech, Kentucky, Michigan State, Florida State, Colorado, UConn, Auburn, Iowa State, North Carolina State, Kansas, Pitt, Missouri, Tennessee, Arizona and Vermont, for starters.

It is a laughingstock, and deservedly so.

Seems like a post or two above ours takes issue with us. LOL!

The US News and World Report "might" be correct, but I doubt it.

actually, I misread your question to say "what is with the edyookayshun in GEORGIA?"

I don't know much about the University: I graduated from Tulane, so I consider it beneath my notice :)
