Troll-edo Rockets Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I posted this on another thread, but I'd like to make a thread of it. In light of my beloved university losing 6 football scholarships , I feel that my apology is most appropriate:>>>Look guys,I'm sorry for all the bad things I've said on this board. I know that you guys have a post that says "do not feed the troll", but really that hurts me deep down inside. I cry myself to sleep rocking in the fetal position every time I log off of this board knowing that I cannot outwit any of you guys. It's depressing sitting in my mother's basement lamenting the mighty Zips kicking ass in the conference. I'll be at the Can't game crying when the football team gets their championship rings at halftime. You'll be able to recognize me by the Zoloft-induced smile on my face. Just say hi and I'll flush that medicated smile wide. **MOTHER, I'M TROLLING THE ZIPS BOARD AGAIN!! GO TO BED!** Sorry about that guys, mother won't leave me alone. She keeps reminding me that I'm 35 and that I have never had a steady job...um, last time I checked being a roadie for "Flock of Seagulls" qualifies as a steady job. I mean, the summer of '85 was a rocking time. Look guys, this board is really my only home, just because I've never "been with a woman" doesn't mean I shouldn't be taken seriously. <<<So you see guys, I'm not all that bad, and my back acne has really been clearing up, so I don't think "troll" is a fair title to give me. **SHUT UP MOTHER!!!...NO....NO! I WASN'T THE LAST ONE TO USE THE BATHROOM** Sorry about that one again guys, mother is a real pain in the ass. She threatened to cut my highspeed if I don't take a shower, but I really need the internet since I have to maintain my level 42 wizard status, if I miss one day I won't be immune to necromancer spells anymore. But seriously guys, my psyche is like an eggshell, and I'm even more fragile than ever since the Rockets are losing 6 football scholarships, this is a sad day in my tiny existence.

msopher Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Actually losing 6 scholarships won't hurt Toledo that much. Last year, they only used 78 scholarships out 0f 85 available. Still, this looks bad for Toledo, but the APR system is all screwed up and it seems to only go after the smaller schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All schools must meet the requirements. Good thing for toloso you aren't on scholarship! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msopher Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Do me a favor, go to ESPN.com, read Pat Forde's article on the APR and then respond back to my statement. The MAC and other mid major schools got screwed on this, while the BCS conferences got off scot-free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UADavid Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 First I found out that Toledo has just 77 overall scholarships this year (2005-06), so none of our current scholarship student-athletes are affected by this. The 6 scholarship reduction counts against Toledo this academic year, and we are actually working with 8 less than the NCAA maximum number of 85.I stand corrected, he is an idiot. My sincere apologies. Still :macc: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UADavid Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Whether or not the BCS got a pass is not the most important aspect of the APR. The fact that toledo didn't meet the requirements is. They didn't give you extra lousy grades to earn the penalty, the students toledo recruited did that on their own. Well done! :macc: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msopher Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 I saw that Akron barely passed the APR score. Did one of the profs slip a passing grade to a few students? Probably, so please thank the good lord above that he did so, otherwise Akron would have been right up there with Toledo.7-6 and MAC Champs/MCB loser9-3 and GMAC Bowl winnersI'll take the latter.

UADavid Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 7-6 and MAC Champs/MCB loser9-3 and GMAC Bowl winnersI'll take the latter Why would someone not want to win the MAC championship? Most would find that to be a rather odd thing to say. But alas, it's the unmistakeable logic of msopher. I'm glad that you aren't interested in MAC championships. This will lessen the disappointment for you since they are in the Zips present and future. :macc: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
