Which Athletes are in your classes?

Do they still have student monitors for athletes? I had a buddy who was responsible for checking to see if a certain athlete attended a class that he was taking, also.

Not an athlete per se, but I sat next to Summer Ackerman for a semester. She was in the first "Girls of the Big 12" issue for Playboy, circa 1996.

And you still found a nurse? Whats your secret?

I had Troy Davis in a class. Yes he did show up for most of the classes. But many times he would be asleep after a few minutes.

Hey, even God rested on the 7th day.

This was a few years ago, but I worked with a professor at Iowa State that had Jason Berryman in one of her classes (before he was kicked off the team permanantly). She said that she couldn't believe that he got into trouble again. He apparently had someone escort him to class every day, wait outside the door, and then escort him away. She didn't think that they ever let him out of their sight.

I took my dynamics final with Andrew Skoglund - I watched that dude duck under the door frame when he walked in the room.

I am suprised he was mobile enough to make it through a doorframe with out hitting his head.

A friend of mine had a math class with Berryman and a lot of the football players the semester he got kicked off. He(friend) said that there was this huge muscular guy in his math class all the time, he figured he was on the football team, but had no idea which player he was. Then, when he didn't show up for the final the kid saw his picture in the paper and realized it was Berryman.

I know a guy who is on the team now and was on with Agnew. He said the coaches told him to take it easy with the eating over the Christmas holiday. I think he said they had 3 days off and Agnew gained, no kidding, 17 lbs.

Athletes in my class? I guess I never paid attention.

Cyler Sanderson was in one of my art studios. Kinda quirky, but he's a nice guy.

My girlfriend said she had a couple women's basketball players in her lecture class... one was tall and blonde, and the other had an australian accent. I wonder who those two were.

These are a few that I can remember having in class at least. There were some other FB players softball girls that I can remember the names too but I think you'll recognize a few of these names. One year my floor which had a lot of the track guys on it was the brother floor to the women's basketball team so I got to hang out with Desiree Francis, Gintare Cipinyte, and Ashley Homeyer once in awhile but most of the women on the team that year didn't really come out much and do things with us other than those 3. A lot of the women were business majors like I was so some of them I had in multiple classes out of coincidence.

Cael Sanderson
Darren Davis (he always came in late then took a nap. was a tough class for even those who showed up so I don't know how he passed it!)
Tracy Gahan
Mary Fox (she still owes me a pencil from one she "borrowed" before a pop quiz one time!)
Angie Welle (first time I saw her I was like "dang, hope she is on the basketball team." well she was a freshman same year I was and first game I went to guess who was the starting center!)
Ennis Haywood
Martin Rancik
Erica Junod

One semester I had Will Blaylock, Curtis Stinson, Tasheed Carr, and Rahshon Clark in my Macro Econ lecture and also another class that I can't recall at the moment.

Marcus Fizer and another MBB player whose name I don't remember at the moment (Martine Rancig?) were in my softball class one semester. The other player had never played softball before so it made for an interesting class. Fizer seemed like a great guy and was always nice to everyone.

I knew her. My buddy dated her for quite a while. She wasn't the brightest gal, but easy on the eyes.

I had both of them in either a Poly Sci. class or a psych. class.

Stevie Hicks in English 102 when he was a freshmen and thought he might produce big things someday.

Kurt Backes in a Finance class last year.

Adam Carper in accounting class last year.

All the athletes that come with the "rocks for jocks" class mentioned. Along with the list of them in Psych 101 or any big lecture freshman/soph. class.

It is always nice to see the athletes who came to class and actually looked like they cared to be there. Not the ones who show up late and take no notes. It amazes me how many of them come to class with no notebook, no pen/pencil then wonder why tests are hard.
