Between that and priorty scheduling it wouldnt be that hard to not have monday classes,. Heck, i had several friends taking 16+ hours and managing to only have classes scheduled 2 days a week I'll agree with you there. To be considered a full-time student, you must be registered for at least 12 hours a quarter, and when I was a junior, I had scheduled 17 credit hours and managed to ONLY have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It seems that freaking out about Cooper being in Houston is a little premature. WE ARE OHIO -Mike C.

RIP First, Christian is not a bad coach, highest MAC winning %, second he left TCU because they didn't have any funding with all of the support going to football. Would TCU of gotten slaughtered in the Big 12? It's most likely, but TCU had a great turn around this season in the MWC. It has been said on the TCU board that Ohio is actually a step up. So take a deep breath, give the guy a chance and you might be pleasantly surprised...

RIP Is this a parody of what the most over the top, wrong-headed reaction would look like?  If so, well done. I remember when basketball fans in Indiana were furious about the Indiana Pacers passing over the in-state favorite Steve Alford in the first round of the NBA Draft to pick the unacceptable, unathletic, funny-looking, worthless, franchise-ruining waste of a pick Reggie Miller. Your post reminds of those fans.
