  1. S.C. was so intimidating the other team consistently ran away from him thus holding his tackles stats way down. Some say he was so quick all one could see when they looked his way was a cloud of smoke.
  2. Not necessarily This is serious enough that it suggests he may be good enough to play on a much better team.
  3. I wish we could have signed their high school teammate Abdias Corgelas, just because I like saying Abdias Corgelas.
  4. I couldn't help but to notice the dearth of players invited from mid-major schools.
  5. I'm looking forward to watching Jason Taylor in Miami this season. There was a rumor that he was traded to Dancing with the Stars.
  6. I thought (very little) about it, and men's swimming is one collegiate sport where a mid-major has no shot. Take a look at the annual results of the MAC chamionships for example where the entire conference struggles to provisionally qualify a handful of swimmers for nationals. In fact, most major programs have no shot at a championship which is why half of them dropped the sport. The same goes for women's swimming, but most schools maintain teams to meet Title IX requirements.
  7. Combining the two events may not have the desired impact on attendance. The possibility of cow tipping may have a positive impact on game attendance (especially by attracting OU alums with a degree in cow tipping), but there is also a negative attendance consequence associated with your suggestion. The cows must be asleep for tipping purposes (no we cannot drug the cows despite the abundance of local supply). This may require later starting times which would be offputting to thousands of locals who have to get up before the crack of dawn to milk cows.
  8. Three things: Comparing weekend game attendance numbers and non-weekend game attendance numbers to an average calculated using figures from both subsets is an interesting concept (totally puerile, but interesting). I tend to minimize the importance of the variance; after all, what is attendance squared really? In 2012, the average attendance of your non-weekend games (18K) was approximately 24% lower that than the average attendance of your weekend games (23.8K). That's pretty big! Especially for a school located in an area where the only other entertainment option besides football is cow tipping.
  9. His completion percentage is listed at 59.1% for last season, but it would jump to 66.7% if passes completed to members of opposing teams were counted in the stat. http://www.cubuffs.com/fls/600/gameday/2012/custats.pdf
  10. Anyone for some remedial math? "A combination of high schools GPA and ACT scores would be used to place students into three categories: preparatory, emergent and college-ready. Emergent students are slightly less prepared than college-ready students, who are fully prepared for the rigor of post-secondary classes. Currently 19 percent of students are considered preparatory, 21 percent emergent, and 50 percent college-ready."

  13. Joe Dorish is one of the few people outside the Akron area who knows Akronites celebrate Christmas on December 31!
  14. If there was a door on the porta-potty you can mark that down as another Bowl upgrade completed.
  15. In that case, I think the MAC should be entitled to claim 100% of any Temple players drafted.
  16. This reminds me; I wonder what's going on with Illinois field hockey.
  17. Mike is only about 30 years behind This Guy Who was calling for player stipends when I moved to Nebraska in 1981.
  18. Did you read the article?
  19. I knew I could get you to see the light sooner or later. GO ZIPS
  20. You are correct sir, and also there are no freshmen.
  21. If you break into a car dealership and take a car that doesn't belong to you - that's stealing. It's not stealing if someone abandons a car on your property.
