Sports and Science- Where to go?

<p>

</p>

<p>Nice forward lateral at 3:14.
Anyway I recommend Georgia Tech.</p>

<p>You want loud? </p>

<p>It’s all about the mascot. Boiler Up!</p>

<p>After visiting UNC, I have to say I liked the campus a lot. Our tour guide seemed to be nice and the students pretty laid back. I think I like it enough to apply, but hopefully it won’t be impossible getting in out of state. All around a good experience! (Duke on the other hand I didn’t like too much)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>The refs reviewed it and decided that he actually fumbled the ball forward. I think they made the right call. :)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Glad you had a good time! Good luck!</p>

<p>On the west coast, you have a lot in the Pac-10 of major state school sports programs but also some high powered academics (UW, UCLA, Berkeley)</p>

<p>Also on the west coast, two major private schools for sports/science are USC and Stanford, both BCS/major conference members in football and men’s basketball, and also Pac-10/MPSF powers in olympic sports (tennis, soccer, water polo, volleyball, etc). A very high number of other major college football powers, not just on the west coast, are state schools, though there are a few others.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Definitely didn’t look intentional, he just didn’t grip the ball well. If Miami recovered it would probably be called fumble and Miami ball, but UNC recovered so it should be UNC ball.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Too bad their men’s basketball team was garbage this year.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Well, we’ve won 2 national titles and have gone to 3 final fours in the past 5 years, so one mediocre year isn’t too bad considering. Plus, with our recruiting class coming in we should be back to our normal ways this season.</p>

<p>I know I got to storm Franklin Street 3 times last year, including once after the “big one”, so I can’t really complain.</p>

<p>@DCHurricane- really, UCLA? Our sports teams suck. Even our basketball team (which is our best sport normally) didn’t make it to the NCAA tournament this year</p>

<p>^Perspective is a *****</p>

<li>I was referring about this past year. I know we made it to 3 straight final fours (2006-08), but that’s the past. I’m pretty sure the OP wants to know which teams will be good in the next few years. UCLA finished 6th in the Pac-10 which was a weak conference this year. UCLA traditionally has an amazing basketball program, but it’s gonna be rebuilding during the next few years</li>
<li>Firstly, that ESPN survey spans 30 years, and UCLA’s point total is kinda skewed upwards by Aikman, who’s been out of the NFL for 10 years. Secondly, it again deals with the past. There’s been great UCLA football in the past, but frankly, the program is struggling (but improving) right now. Thirdly, that survey deals with UCLA players in the NFL. I’m sure OP wanted to know about the actual college football team, not how the players end up doing in the NFL. I will admit that their football team is getting better, but they won’t become as good as teams like Bama, Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio St, and Florida</li>
<li>Most of the 105 championships we have now are in sports besides football and basketball. I’m not bashing those other sports. It’s an amazing accomplishment. But I think OP wanted to know mainly about football/basketball.</li>
</ol>

<p>But it’s important to remember how cyclical college sports are. Basketball and Football may have had sub par years last year, but they’ll bounce back. Those sports are still popular at UCLA (though student enthusiasm isn’t quite what it might be), and you don’t have to stop rooting for them when you graduate. UCLA will be back in the Final Four and in Rose Bowls.</p>

<p>As for the minor sports, I think any sports fan can appreciate and enjoy occasionally going to see a Gymnastics meet with a couple former Olympians or other teams with similar quality athletes. Ironically the quality of competition in some of the smaller sports is often arguably greater than in the revenue sports.</p>

<p>They’ll probably be back in the final four in the next 10 years. But I’m not feeling the Rose Bowl anytime soon- it’s been 11 years, and football’s rarely been their strong area.</p>

<p>Except that since UCLA’s first Rose Bowl in 1942, the largest gap between Rose Bowls has been, um, 11 years.</p>
