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 would have scored a perfect zero on such an exam.

Me too, and I can't even spell bascetbal.

Kerry' s a Veteran, but so were Lee Harvey Oswald, Jeffrey Dahmer, and Timothy McVeigh

I would add that Oswald was discharged as unfit and Dahmer was discharged for alcoholism.

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

I've never thought much of psychometrics.

Anyway, I went to Tech, I sure can't answer questions 2-7,9,10,14,15-18.

So I would flunk.

The quality of education offered at the University Of Georgia is a laughingstock only to people who are ignorant about education. The school is consistently ranked in the upper echelon of public universities in America.

Emory and Georgia Tech rank even higher. Georgia's got some great colleges and universities.

Helloooooooooooooooooooo.

Did you read Howlin's post?

It is meant to be funny.

Please get a sense of humor.

Please get a sense of humor.

I understand. When you laughingly agree with a poster that education at the university is "a laughingstock, and deservedly so," and when you state that the U.S. News And World Report college rankings (showing UGA to be in the upper tier of public universities in America) are doubtful, anyone interpreting your comments at face value is deficient in the humor department.

I understand the intent of Howlin's post and I found the article amusing. I found your comments to be worthy of an attempt at enlightenment.

I am not a sports guy, but even I know the answers to a lot of these questions.

wow.

Though considering how stressful final exams are and how little it really shows the professor since you forget everything the next day, a nice piece of cake like this would be nice to take.

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

Don't get me started.....UGA is no different than any other sports-worshipping U. The athlete is a god who walks on water and can do no wrong.
