anyone have any Cyclone women in their classes so that i can be super jealous of them?
I had Math 150 with half of the gymnastics team over the summer, but never talked to any of them. (Sat next to Katie Sweetin for the whole summer but didn't realize it until midterm...)

I sit next to Melanie Tham in my French 102. She seems really nice, but quiet. There's only 12 students in the class, we meet 4 days a week, and you always get to know the people in your class pretty well because of the way language classes are structured. It'll be nice to actually get to know an athlete outside of the pretense of athletics. I don't plan on bringing up gymnastics unless she does.

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.

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.

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. :dull:

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. :wink:
