    I guess being held accountable to off-season workouts actually does work.

    His mom will be thrilled. She said she about had a heart attack when he brought home his meal program after the spring semester last year.

    In his case the trumpet blower didn't want him heavier.

    He bought in to making the changes.

    Random question about scholarships I thought I'd just throw in here. Suppose we have a guy that starts as a freshman, and continues to play all the way through his senior year. Uses up all his eligibility in four years. However, he's not really a good pro prospect and he's in the school of engineering, working on a five year degree. Does he get to have another year covered or is he on his own?

    This is not related to some specific example, it just sort of randomly occurred to me that it could be a rare conundrum.

    Is it some type of accelerated bachelor's to master's?

    Regular old engineering undergrad degree is typically five years, I believe.

    They usually help them find a way to get it paid.

    If they're serious about it, they can knock out a lot during the summer

    Yep. As a Vietnam vet, I got 48 months GI bill, so I had to get it done in 4 years going full time under the old quarter system

    I got my BSEE in 48 months including summer sessions and worked 30 hrs/week part time. Having a family tends to make one focused.

    What's the consensus on Weinke coaching QBs?

    Chaney will be heavily involved. I’m not sold on Weinke.

    Took me 4 yrs to get an engr degree in the dark ages.
    Don't believe that's changed.
    If they still have an engr co-op program, it would take 5 yrs.

    True, but I think the IMG angle is the only reason he's still here.

    Hmm. Had a buddy do one of the engineering programs and the only reason he got done in four was because he had like 50 hours of AP credit from high school.

    kp, I think you are correct and assume it's because your friend's high school did not offer all of the math and science pre-reqs.
    ie, had buddies back then that [itch bay]ed about having to take trig, etc before calculus.
    not to beat a dead horse, but you got me to wondering so I checked today's curriculum.
    Regular engr (with all pre-reqs) - 4 yrs, special BS/MS program - 5 yrs, BS+coop program - 5 yrs.
    since you brought this up, I have only one memory - Damn I'm glad I don't have to do that again :)

    Hmmm. We both went to one of the best public schools in the state. I’d be surprised if the proper prereqs weren’t available.
