Our Contest Gets Legs, But Needs to Start Walking

Our Contest Gets Legs, But Needs to Start Walking
Promote this post on Yahoo! Buzz
Mmm, I think round one is a tie.

So our little "Hottest on Campus" contest has garnered some national attention. Namely, we're the top story on SportsIllustrated.com's Campus Clicks (along with Penn State who blatantly copied our idea, but I forgive them). And Penn State seems to think that they are easily hotter than us, while all we seem to do is bitch about the ugliness of both sexes here. We need unity! We need school pride! We need nominees!

Unfortunately, our contest so far has been all talk and very little action. So girls, you can keep saying about how ugly all the guys here are and how the girls are so much hotter, but until they get some proof otherwise, they're probably not going to shut up. I'm not even sure why you're requesting a "Hottest Guy" contest if they're all the swamp creatures you claim them to be. I actually know there are good-looking girls here, I'm just waiting (along with everyone else) to see the proof. So start nominating, if the contest gets featured on SI.com, lord knows the winner most certainly will, and who doesn't want to be famous?

So we can get proof otherwise and have restored faith in our school, just like you're asking of the women.

this is ridiculous...."garned national attention?" first of all i believe the word you were searching for is "garnered" but hey I mean you're just a journalist not like you should know the english language....cough....this is almost dumber than MSA and UM fighting the passing of Prop 2....I don't get it...if we want the country/world to respect UM as being a premiere university...then why are we so concerned about running admissions to have a "diverse balance" if you will....shouldn't we be admitting those who are qualified?.....admitting students based on race is as retarded as ....NASA hiring a corn farmer from Nebraska to run the shuttle launch from Cape Canaveral just because he is black....or hiring a McDonald's drive thru attendant to be a Neurosurgeon just because they are a minority. Stop all this stupid shit. Why doesn't anyone at this school talk about things that actually matter? Like how we don't admit the "brightest and best"....instead we admit to make sure we have 1/4 black, 1/4 asian, 1/4 white, 1/4 middle eastern....how about we start doing things the right way like....admitting based on GPA and ACT scores....but what do i know right?....this is so ****ing stupid

i pulled it from things being important....that was my whole point...we should be talking about things that are important...and not trying to make the girls at this school something they are in general not...HOT...instead if we want people to give UM girls or guys for that matter any respect why don't you go out and find the solution or even use your brain to get an idea about how to solve the current economical issues like the subprime and housing crisis? Or how our admissions is motivated to balance the student body when the smartest and most capable applicants should be admitted...not just because they are immigrants or black or white for that matter....everyone wants to get away from the big picture where people with 4.0 gpa's in high school and a 30 on the ACT aren't admitted b/c their spot was given to someone with a 2.8GPA and a 17 ACT just because they are of a certain ethnic group....this school is retarded

@ Anonymous: Umm, I think you're looking for the Michigan Daily, which would be next door. We don't care about important things here. Good catch on "garnered" though.

JQ i'm all for having a good time but this is just not a good idea. You're wasting your precious time writing about stuff like this. You know as well as every other person at this school that we shouldn't have made that list. It's just how it is. As it was beautifully quoted in Superbad when discussing going to a "lesser school" than Dartmouth...'The girls there are half as smart and thus twice as likely to fallaash me..."....girls here are twice as smart as anywhere and thus half as likely to even care about looking halfway decent

Regarding the affirmative action issue:
If you have a 4.0 in HS and over a 30 on your ACT, there's no doubt that you'll get into Michigan. If you don't get in it's not because some blackie took your spot, if you didn't get in with stats like that then you messed it up by doing something else (Crime charges, whatev). I know plenty of non-minorities who had less than average stats in highschool that still got in (Example: 23 ACT 3.6 GPA).

regarding the hot contest:
BEST IDEA EVARRRRR

the guy who called you out on your mispelling of "garnered" earned himself a 94RAD ranking by saying we should all spend our time thinking about how to fix the subprime crisis.

what a ****ing idiot.

here's an idea for you, tool (or toolette, if female). yes, we should all get out there and sell ****ing girl scout cookies and donate the proceeds to families who can't make their mortgage payment because THEY got greedy, bought a house on an ARM that was 4 times their conventional mortgage monthly payment. Then firms like Bear Stearns, who buy this shit debt from Fannie and Freddie, FHA, and Ginnie, by leveraging their companies assets to the hills (30 times the company's assets), are suddenly stunned when they don't "know the price of some of these MBS." Oh, but then it gets worse because the companies that insure this debt are going bust, thus causing a snowball effect on all counterparties involved. No need to worry, because the Fed will drop the discount and Fed funds rate as much as they can while auctioning off billions of gov't debt to essentially put out a house fire by pissing on it.

Sounds a little complex? That's cuz it is. And writing down notes on how to fix it while jerking it (or flicking your bean, if female), is an exercise in futility.

On a side note, inflation fears loom as Travis Radina consumes the basket of goods the US Bureau of Labor Statistics bases the CPI on.

I bet Mr. prop 2 is just some sort of white supremacist Nazi who's dumb **** little brother didn't get in and he wants to make everything a race issue.

Also, you bitch about the fact that topics here don't feature "important" debates? Did I miss something or is JQ supposed to be the third party still in the running for the democratic nomination?

Furthermore, after you bitch out JQ and the site for not talking about relevant topics and instead just wasting their time you RETURN to the site to read and respond to what everyone has to say about your dumb **** comments.

I wish i knew who you were...I'd beat you with a baton.

I enjoy low expectations which can be thankfully attributed to Paul (JQ). For other comparisons see: Aaron Rodgers, Scottie Pippen, Pre-Super Bowl Eli Manning, and Rufio.
