Pretty sure the University of Alabama's board of trustees is investigating this right now so it never happens again, as part of their ongoing "UAB can never have nice things" initiative.

Those are really good helmets though. Teams are going to have trouble getting 40 guys together on Mumble to beat them.*

*except GT. They've had UAB on farm since this pic was first posted.

Miami Safety Rayshawn Jenkins out for the season after an injury in a practice yesterday. Thankfully we still have good safety depth, but that sucks because he was a ball hawk.

Well, based on their projected 2014 FEI ratings, anyway. I don't see any data on the site as to how well their projected FEI for each team matched the actual in previous years, so there's no telling how accurate it is.

It's fun to play with, anyway.

Iowa's schedule owns. We'll probably wind up loving up and getting 7-8 wins anyway, but I would happily just beat up on lovely teams on the way to 10+ wins forever. I just want my Saturdays to start with watching my favorite team win. I don't care if it's against scrubs. We're not ever winning another national title anyway, so gently caress it.

This has forever been my logic. VT schedules these big games that Beamer has never been able to win for naught. Winning one or two would never change their reputation under Beamer and losing just perpetuates it. Schedule lovely teams and who the gently caress knows?

With the playoffs starting even an undefeated lovely schedule by a power 5 team is most likely making it and then who knows? Beats the gently caress out of seeing your team get embarrassed annually by a top 5 team every September.

Eventually Mourningview will be forced to accept that it isn't the 1980s anymore and in the lifetime of current college freshmen Iowa State has won half of the Cy-Hawk games. I don't except that to happen today.

I don't know that I deny that Iowa State beats us a lot, I just don't think it's because ISU is ever any good. I openly pine for the early 90s when we won by 50 every year a lot. Plus only half the time is pretty shameful. Northwestern blows that away.

I dunno, I don't think what I say on the internet has much to do with how often Iowa wins.

Also Ferentz is 10-5 against Minnesota (his best record against any team in the Big Ten, actually) so I would maybe check that math.

I was making a somewhat obtuse simpsons reference.

The joke being Shelbyville residents bragged about beating Springfield in football nearly half the time. Which is obviously not something to brag about.

And I was drawing that connection to the Iowa Iowa state rivalry. Aren't they nearly equal in wins over the past twenty years or so?

What an idiot.
This got buried at the end of the last page but holy crap there isn't a :jerkbag: big enough for that speech.

quote:

In a time when the NCAA is rife with stories of players taking money, of players demanding to unionize, of a basketball player being on the dean’s list admitting that he did so without ever having attended a single class….409 should be the NCAA’s shining city on the hill.

quote:

But I suspect I am Don Quixote tilting at windmills. I suspect that 409 represents an ideal, a truth that most of them could never see, and never wanted to believe in—including some people who made decisions at our own university.

quote:

What they could never understand, because it was never theirs to begin with, was that in giving away the honor that was won the hard way for the school—they gave away something that was obtained through difficult conflict, the road less taken of Success With Honor.
