At least you can fall back on your degree in... communications? Oh dear lord.
I wish I could major in "interdisciplinary studies"
I thought Kevin Love made the Dean's list. Why is he not on here? Help Dohn.
With a major in "Health and Fitness Education," you BETTER have a 3.51 GPA
Congrats Alfred.
5 WSU players, that's an impressive showing. Too bad they weren't smart enough to beat UNC tonight.
Notice that there were NO mentions for any Washington and Oregon players.
