Here is a look at the academic accolades for various athletic programs. dis- appointingly maintained his inner fury. The same man who had bit Chronicle Editor Not that I'm bitter about coughing up five bucks to a friend to fixe up the barbecue for community hamburgers and hot dogs to watch the biggest fight since the infamous cannibalistic act by Saturday's loser on Evander Holyfield's ear, but I was expecting more of a fight out of the Bad-deMan on the Planet, "Iron pay-per-vi- st Mike Tyson. And not so much in the conventional boxing fashion. I was genuinely disappointed that Mike Tyson didn't pull one of his psychotic, deranged, tirade that we have all came to know and love him for at some point during his eighth round championship bout loss, complements of titieholder Lennox Lewis. I was waiting for it the whole time. Lennox just left his guard down the whole fight with his sig- nificant reach advantage over the nothing Tyson. Lewis kept connecting with the left jab, then he sipped on a spot of tea before getting bored and connecting with a right hook. All the while, Tyson couldn't connect with any of his signature haymakers. Instead, he was taking more shots than Glass Joev Lewis' strategy Eventually, worked until Tyson was so beaten he couldn't see straight out of either eye. Finally, Tyson suffered two knockdowns and the referee stopped the fight in the eighth round after it was getting out of pre-fig- promo- ht tion months earlier kept his cooL Even after the fight, while Jim Gray was rubbing shoulders with the two heavyweights during the postgame in the ring, there was nothing but respect and admiration from Tyson for Lewis. Tyson said he had nothing but love and respect "for Lennox Lewis and his Gymnastics For the 2001-200- school year, the U 2 gymnasts finished with a 3 7036 GPA.

The sign of showmanship, how graciously the youngest champ in history congratulated Bowles and Kim Allan all earned scholastic honors by receiving a 3.5 GPA or better. For Spring Semester, the team recorded a 3.576 team, GPA, with Bowles, Hofmann, Kulikowski and Medcalf earning 4.0s.

Freshman Jorge Amorim's 4.0 GPA was tops for the men, who had seven swimmers make the honor roll. University Athletic Director Chris Hill was pleased with the progress Tyson than Lewis. Maybe that's why Mike was pulling the media's string all this time. Maybe he was in it for the dough (he made over $17 million bones for the fight). He is by far the man with the most intrigue in boxing. But his big bully, pit bull persona just took a humanistic turn-Laweekend the whole world saw Mike Tyson, the baddest man on the planet, show everyone that he had grown up a little that even the meanest of thugs can turn into good sports.
