Jeopardy’s Alex Trebek calls highlights from the 2010 game between the Stanford Cardinal and Oregon Ducks.

I need to know if college football players are required to take and do well in college classes (I believe they are, in current times), but even more specifically, I need to know how long this has been a requirement by law or colleges for football players at their schools to do so.

College Football Live’s Brock Huard shows that trick shots are nothing hard as he goes around the ESPN campus showing off some amazing trick shots.

Please take me by the hand It’s so cold out tonight I’ll put blankets on the bed I won’t turn out the light Just don’t forget to think about me And I won’t forget you I’ll write you once a week she said Why does it feel the same To fall in love or break it off And if young love is just a game Then I must have missed the kick off Don’t depend on me to ever follow through on anything But I’d go through hell for you and [Chorus:] I haven’t been this scared in a long time And I’m so unprepared so here’s your valentine Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody This world’s an ugly place, but you’re so beautiful to me I’ll think about the times She kissed me after class And she put up with my friends I acted like an ass I’d ditch my lecture to watch the girls play soccer Is my picture still hanging in her locker? [Chorus x2]

I’m a 2nd year engineering student, and this campus can get pretty chaotic during its game days. People are vocal and very supportive of their teams, and that’s okay. However, how come people don’t express the same praise towards the engineering students as they do the athletic students?

I don’t mean to simply bash them, but our football players entertain people for a few hours for a few days out of the year. On the other hand, engineers design the cars people drive, the computers to monitor life support systems, and even the toothpaste these people use to brush their teeth every single day. Shouldn’t engineering students get at least some support and praise for their accomplishments too. How come this isn’t the case? How come so few people (compared to our football games) come to our robotics competitions, etc, to show their support for our engineering students? Don’t we affect people’s lives just as much…if not more?
