I was pissed off at college prof. that I got an D+ grade in jogging class just because I missed by go to with class to the road race for exam which I shouldnt do it under NCAA rule because I am on cross country and track team. Teacher dont giving a f**k and it hurt my 50points loss from A+ to D+!!!!!

What can I do? what can I prove teacher about NCAA Rules but he dont giving f**k with it.

Have you received your grade in English yet?

I suspect you may have another surprise coming.

hah! faster than S&G

try to get a university excuse or talk to your athletic director about it or something. He would understand and may be able to straighten this out.

Also, nobody gives a fvck about your times. Stop trying to brag on a message board where you'd get your ass handed to you by sooo many posters. It's a "class" anyways and I'm sure there was no need for you to go all out in these "fitness tests". Not even sure if I believe this post, actually.

uh, "jogging class"?

You should have foreseen the conflict between the "final" and NCAA rules before the class started.

In any case, you're already training with the team. Why would you even take such a class?

I, too, smell a bragging troll.

You, my friend, have a future in writing Chinese spam emails selling knock-off goods.

pretty good

you deserve an F in life for attending jogging classes in the 1st place. shame on you!

Bored much, troll?

Did you get permission to miss the race? Was the race (and it corresponding percentage of grade) listed on the syllabus? If the answers to those questions are no and yes (respectively), then I think you're out of luck. If those were not the answers to those questions, then you've got a shot at a grade change.

Also, it is my understanding that it is fine for NCAA athletes to compete in road races as long as they don't accept any prize money.

Do you go to Mississippi ST. or something?

Seriously, what kind of school do you go to? Jogging class? What has happened to academia?

I actually took fitness walking for one of my four college credits. The class was a joke but the word amongst the team was the professor was hot (she was) and that loads of frat girls take it and wear short shorts as we walked for thirty minutes a class. I like shooting ducks on the water so I took the class.

To make things more interesting, I wore the same outfit every class--a 1950's velour warm-up suit that was way to small for both my leg length (I am 6'2") and my groin. To complete the gimick, I wore an old pair of Kangaroo sneakers I had in high school, a headband and spoke in an Australian accent. The professor knew it was a joke but I think she found it funny that I would take shit so seriously and speed walk around the track with my frank and beans basically on display for everyone. Whenever the girls would ask me what I was doing I would just say "Training hard, mate, for the commonwealth games. Still one spot open."

For the final, we had to walk as many laps as possible in thirty minutes. For the first time all semester, I dropped the warm suit (even though it was not late November and cold out) and did the final exam in a pair of rainbow striped short I had found a thrift store. They looked like old basketball shorts that the globetrotters used to wear and they barely came to the top of my thighs. I was flying around the track and everytime I passed a couple of frat girls I would mutter under my breath "I'm gonna get the record, get record, get the record." By the time the thirty minutes was up, girls were asking the professor "did he get the record?" The professor--who I remember looking very hot that day--played along perfectly and would only say "unofficially, yes." The best part was that most of the guys xc team came out to watch and were cheering for me in phony australian accents the whole time.

That was almost ten years ago and I still think about that damn professor. College was fun.

This is a silly initial post - it permits us to glean that a certain Div. 1 runner ran in practice times most all of us at the making NCAA's level routinely ran often (and in multiples) in practice (9:00 minute two miles in workouts - or 4:15 miles - while maybe not a wise thing - are done so routinely at the Div. 1 level it is not funny). And to top it off, we get to see immaturity in action. If the poster really wanted to do the right thing, he would have volunteered to help others at the race, and then at some point before or after the race run the course so he could say to the professor that he did what his classmates did and could relate to them - the very essence of a participation activity in a college phys ed class.

And yes, college was fun...and it is no less fun if one puts an ounce of effort to make mature decisions.

I love this post and really hope this is a true story.

What's a frat girl?

Hilarious

You ran a 4:16 and a 15:01 in a running class? You are lying. No one that can run those times would actually put that much effort into a jogging class.
