Final Semester Grades for College?
Ok so the college I'm going to requires that we send in final semester grades, or is it final transcript? But anyway, the school I am going to is called VCU and I got accepted and stuff, but I'm failing one of my classes and it won't be an F for overall, but just this 3rd marking period. It will most likely be a low C or high D by the end of the year for the final grade, would they actually deny me admittance if that were to happen? I would end up having below a 3.0 if that were to happen, but would they really tell me I can't go to their school? Or am I just overthinking it and it actually doesn't matter too much?!!!?
2 AnswersHigher Education (University +)7 years agoWhat major do you need to become a Sports Journalist?
Don't just go copying straight off a website that says "English, with a concentration in Journalism" ... I've already seen that. But my main question is; Can I major in Mass Communications? Like, with the additive of writing for the school newspaper and stuff for sports. Obviously I could major in Journalism.
But i guess these are the majors I want to know about (or already do):
Journalism
Mass Communications (or some colleges call it)
Communications
English
Are all of these fine to become a sports journalist? Are there any more? Thanks in advance also.

Like, they're able to go out of water and walk around the land with their pectoral fins. It looks like to me they're smack-dab in the middle of evolution. That'd be pretty damn cool to see that evolve in the next hundred+ years or so. WE might not be alive, but our grandchildren will.

5 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoNFL 2013-2014 Playoff predictions?
VERY EARLY 2014 NFL Playoffs: (In depth (sorta) I was supposed to be studying, but I got bored so I wrote this) Btw scroll down all the way to see SB winner.
SEEDING:
AFC:
1. Broncos
2. Patriots
3. Colts
4. Bengals
5. Texans
6. Dolphins (Torn between Dolphins and new Ravens team, I'll go with Dolphins for now)
NFC:
1. San Francisco
2. Green Bay
3. Atlanta
4. Washington
5. Seattle
6. St. Louis (Torn between Rams or Drew Brees and the Saints, I'll go with Rams for now)
1ST ROUND - AFC
Denver - New england first round BYE
Dolphins at Colts - Colts on top
Texans at Bengals - Bengals land on top (Upset b/c I think Texans will have a equal record, but not win their division)
1ST ROUND - NFC
St. Louis at Atlanta - Rams on top, Atlanta buckles under pressure
Seattle at Washington - (Again) Seahawks on top
---------------------
2ND ROUND - AFC
Bengals at Patriots - Patriots win (much closer than anticipated)
Colts at Mile High - Denver wins (Predictable 1 v 2 seed matchup set, very subject to change for me)
2ND ROUND - NFC
Seahawks at Packers - Packers win it (BIG win for the Pack, I'm talkin' 17+)
Rams at 49ers - I gotta go with 49ers, it will be another struggle but the 1 seed comes out on top over the divisional rival 6th seed)
---------------------
AFC/NFC CHAMPIONSHIP
AFC - Patriots at Denver - Peyton Manning vs. Tom Brady for the last time in history, oh and what a show it will be. These offensive power houses will battle it out just like the SB in 2013. Back and forth more often though, high scoring game, upper 30's low 40's. The crowd has signs all over the place about Welker leaving the "Patsies". But it won't phase Brady - He is in the zone all night and he knows this might be the closest he will ever get again to the Super Bowl, with the Dolphins and Bills closing in on the division. He takes the oppurtunity like it was the SB. Game winning drive for a touchdown - Pass to Amendola to seal the deal. (And so starts the "Amendola doesn't drop the ball under pressure" comments to Welker) Under 1 minute left for Manning and the Broncos but they can't get anywhere besides a couple of first downs, time winds down, and Manning retires with a bitter loss against an on-the-field nemesis.
NFC - Packers at 49ers - Upset weekend!!! "The Pack Go Back" To the SB, of course. Yes, two 1 seed vs 2 seed matchups. I also don't quite trust myself on that one. I'm sure it will change later in the season. But RODGERS pulls out amazing victory, dancing around defenders all night long, pulling moves like crazy! Kaep has a good running game as well, but not as good. The San Fran D doesn't do it's normal job all throughout the second half of this game. (Blowing a 17-7 lead after halftime) Packers come out strong with two touchdowns off a turnover for the second one making it 21-17. But hold your horses here comes Gore running the Pack's defense into the ground for an entire drive. 24-21. What do the packers do? Run all over San Fran. Tie game. 24-24 With time winding down in the 4th. 8 minutes to go. Kaep driving the 49ers with confidence to the red zone... And what happens next? INTERCEPTION. Packers eventually kick the game winner with over 2 minutes to go, but San Fran comes up with a terrible last effort going 4 and out. That ends the terrific season by the 49ers.

10 AnswersFootball (American)8 years agoHow can my internet be this terrible?
My internet is so bad, how can it be so bad? A few examples: I will be playing PS3 and if I put my feet in a certain place (which just so happens to be the most comfortable) my PS3's internet starts going downhill until I lag out and it signs me out. Another one would be I'm in my room and if I don't have my computer in a certain position in my room the internet doesn't work. (Also which just so happens to be quite uncomfortable) If I put my knees up in front of the computer, guess what? it stops working. Those are just few of the many problems. The router and everything whatever you call it is all new-ish. It's not old. Probably 2008+ I don't know my parents bought it. The only place it works well all the time is right ****** next to it

3 AnswersAstronomy & Space8 years agoBaseball question(s)?
OK, so I have a few questions tonight. All about baseball. First off, i'm 17 only 100 pounds, im alot stronger than you might expect and i can 100% throw a baseball from the outer most portion of the outfield to home plate. And I can hit fairly well. I know that you have to have a -3 bat, but im 5 foot 6 and 100. What length of the bat should I get? 30 inch? 32? 31? 34? What? Also im trying to get a new glove, Im thinking 12.25 to 12.75. Im an outfield guy also. So i need that. So which one should i get outta those? Im a LEFTY. So 12.25, 12.5 or 12.75?
P.S. You dont HAVE to answer this, but would getting alot of hitting drills (not by a coach or anything, just friends and batting cages) Help my hitting? Also what techniques do yall recommend for throwing motions to hurt less after throwing alot, or can i help that at all?

6 AnswersMilitary8 years agoWhy does everyone HATE and say Tom Brady and the Pats are bad/overrated?
Ok so, I'm a die hard Patriots fan and obviously i love the guy. I think he is the second best or 3rd best QB ever, and with ONE more SB win, he will be the best ever. He has had enormous amounts of hate, and being called overrated and bad and a "system QB" when that is all complete bull sh!t. He has won 3 superbowls and been to 5 so far. If it weren't for last minute drives and astounding catches by the Giants, there wouldn't be a discussion on how Tom isn't the greatest ever. But alas, they happened, and he got us to the superbowl in 2011 with a defense that was ranked 29th or 31st i dont remember but i know it was one of the worst in the entire league. And we almost won, again. 3 Rings/2x SB MVP's/8x Pto-Bowler/2x League MVP/96.6 QBR. That's astonishing. And you say that he is bad? That the Patriots are overrated because our division is horrible? If we played in the AFC North i can guarantee you we would be in the playoffs every year also, sure we would have a huge different scheme to our game too, you have to factor in that. But seriously, you can't argue with numbers. People just hate the Patriots - and Tom Brady - Mainly because of the winning success we have had since 2001. Sure no SB since 2004. But we've been to two of them, and almost gotten there 2 or 3 other times. God damn david tyree and then mario manningham were the causes of our losses (oh yeah and Welker, good riddance Butterfinger) Now we have no receivers as of now, besides Gronk and Hernandez, and they're TE's not WR. If Tom Gets us to be in the top even, top 7 offences in the league there isn't going to be an argue that he can play, and at a level maybe unmatched by any QB ever. And i think he already is there. The only people who will really argue this would be trolls/haters. If you can say an unbiased opinion and not be a Pats fan, ill read it all. But, you can not say hes a system QB because he isn't. Trade him to the Chiefs and he'll do very well. Especially with Dwayne Bowe! He's not overrated because of the SB's when Adam Vinetieri kicked winning FG's. Did you not see Tom's gameplay? And did you not see what got them in position with that game winning perfect drive of his? You can't win without a good QB. That's why HE has 2 SB MVP's. Nothing about him being gay either, just take a look at his wife, she makes more than him... So how can you argue? (Also i'm 100% sure that every single pers oncan agree he was in the hall of fame in 2004, and he wasn't even CLOSE to how good he is now compared to then)

Why do so many people hate the Jews? I know Middle easterners for taking their land, i guess thats why for them, but aside from that, the Arabians still would hate the Jews even if they didnt live there? Hitler for example and the germans back then, why did they hate the Jews? And other people in general, it seems the whole world hates the Jews :/ I mean, they're considered The Chosen People, and people always remark them to that, so i just dont get it?
