    The guy has aspirations to be a doctor. If you don't think his course load is tough or that's it's easy for him to maintain a 4.0 while being a starting O-lineman for an elite college football program, then you're apparently ignorant of the sacrifices and dedication it takes to achieve this accomplishment.

    If the guy is pre-med, then he has to take the required classes for med school entry and many of those classes fall outside the kinesiology curriculum. Classes like Organic Chem, advanced Biology etc. It might be a little easier to get a 4.0 while in kines but he's still doing great work in the class room, and more work than the average kines major.

    What an unbelievable azzhole

    I'd like to see you repeat this to or read this post to this kid after he's had about three or four brews with his buds celebrating ...

    If he was even able to get a hold of your sorry azz ... his buds would get you first ...

    ... he'd stomp a mudhole in your sorry azz

    ... some losers just don't get it :dis:

    As I recall, Mike Blanchard (1994) maintained a 4.0 as microbiology major. And, I believe that's MUCH MORE difficult than any engineering program.

    Remember, last year we had two on the Academic All American team. Rodney Reed as first team with a 3.96 in Accounting. WITHOUT A DOUBT, Accounting is the hardest major in the college of business. I was also an accounting major at LSU and my measly 3.7 got me into several top 10 law schools. I can almost guarantee you where Rodney got his one "B" -- Advanced Accounting. I would put that course up against any other course on the LSU campus in terms of difficulty. It probably ruins more 4.0 overall GPA's at LSU than any other course but Organic Chemistry.

    And, don't forget, Matt Mauck was second team academic All American with a 3.7 average in Kinesiology. That was good enough to get him into Dental School - no small feat.
