Looking up old Big Ten stats has taught me that Sports Reference thinks Ricky Stanzi and Richard Stanzi are two different people who happened to have completely identical stats every year. It would be funnier if they gave Richard credit for all the good plays and Ricky credit for all those times he hit a defensive back perfectly in stride.

Michael Robinson had all the great unmeasureable talents that would have made him a darling of the NFL pregame shows if he wasn't terrible at throwing the football most of the time.

Guess where Michael Robinson finished in the Big Ten (THE BIG TEN!!!!!) in passer rating the year he finished fifth in the Heisman voting. Did you guess like fifth? That would be pretty bad so I don't blame you but WRONG! 8th. He was the 8th most efficient passer in a conference that is famous for being super lovely at passing the football. This was lower than Minnesota Golden Gopher's Legend Brian Cupito and Chad Henne back when he was so bad that MGoBlog made up an imaginary 10 foot tall reciever named Tacopants to explain why his passes were so far off target. He did manage to beat out almost certainly fictional Indiana QB Blake Powers so I guess good going, Mike.

Fifth in TDs but also third in total offense, which adds up to eight. He was Big Ten Offensive POY so that's probably why he got charity Heisman votes. He got literally 0.9% of all the Heisman votes. That's down there with DeAngelo Williams and Drew Olsen (who I forgot existed). Sash! fucked around with this message at 00:22 on Jun 18, 2014 |

And yeah, Robinson was not a good passer. But he loving knocked a safety out! Komet fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Jun 18, 2014 |

My favorite Northwestern quarterback was the spunky, undersized guy who ran around and threw really accurate passes in a goofy video game spread offense.

This may just be OSU fan ignorance, but isn't it kind of ridiculous to put Hackenberg ahead of Daryll Clark already. Clark ran legitimately the best PSU offense I ever watched and was easily the most dynamic QB. I would even argue him over senior McGloin for you guys just for the dual threat and the results he got. He gave way more options to that offense than anyone I can remember PSU having.

Scarf posted:From what I hear, the 5-Points area is like the loving wild west these days... so carry some heat. It's pretty much the drunk college student part of town if you have any interest in that. "The Vista" is more of the young professional scene with slightly more upscale bars. I haven't spent much time in Columbia since I moved away for college 15 years ago... So others with more recent experience should chime in as well. Scarf is pretty much right on about this -- Five Points is the college-y part of Columbia, while the Vista is more upscale and not nearly as sloppy. Five Points has also come under a lot of scrutiny lately for violent crime, so there's that! Personally, I love the Art Bar in the Vista -- it's a very interesting and counter-cultural kind of crowd, if you're into that. Otherwise, I tend to hit up Sharky's, Group Therapy, or Dr. Rocco's in Five Points. As for food, Groucho's Deli (Five Points), Sammy's Deli (USC campus), Gourmet Shop (Five Points), and California Dreaming (USC campus) are probably my favorites. (California Dreaming is also right next to Green's, which is an awesomely huge alcohol warehouse.) Hunter-Gatherer and The Publick House are solid watering holes that aren't too fratty (both are in/near Five Points; if you want to hit up the place where most USC football players have gotten in trouble, try Pavlov's, which is in the same neighborhood). Maurice's BBQ is probably the BBQ joint of record in Columbia, but it was also owned and operated by an incredibly vocal racist until his recent death, so...maybe avoid that one if you can help it. I'm admittedly pretty ignorant on which hotels are the best, since I lived in Columbia for about a decade and never had to bother with that. There are some very expensive inns on/near the USC campus, but there's a Marriott on Assembly Street that's close-ish to the stadium and hopefully not too pricey. If you don't mind some exercise, you'll only pay $10 for parking at the most, and if you park far enough down the street, it's free (I always go for the public parking spots by the Swearingen engineering building/The Lofts apartment complex). It just depends on your tolerance for walking, really.

I forgot about Reggie Ball. He's the worst. Sometimes you get guys like Donnie Nickey that are horrible yet start for four years for some reason. Nobody would ever do that for a quarterback. Nick Sheridan types seem to be a one year stopgap until you can find any other option, but not Reggie Ball. He gets bonus points for being horrible while having the best WR in a generation on his college team.
