  1. Parcells has quite the coaching tree. i did quite a bit of research on this not too long ago.
  2. not drunk, but attempting to your use logic on statistics made my brain mush. I really cant comprehend your unrelenting levels of mathematical retardation.
  3. I was grocery shopping the other day and when i wandered through the frozen foods, i found something that surely is a sign of the downfall of society... FROZEN HAMBURGER HELPER! Thats right! for those people too damn lazy to complete the complicated and strenuous task of browning ground beef and mixing it with HH, they now have the frozen version. Just add it to a pan and heat. I wanted to stand there and assault the first person i saw buying it with normal boxed helper and packages of ground beef.
  4. I've done some more thinking on this topic... We were discussing an statistics problem here at work, and someone said "Why don't you ask that idiot on the internet" (Holcombs Arm). This, led to a discussion of dice with a true value of 3.5, and an investigation into the properties of such Holcombian dice, from which we determined this... Prove, using Holcombian statistics, that half the time you don't roll a die, you get a value of 1. Proof: a 6-sided Holcombian die has a Holcombian true value of 3.5. It is trivial to see that a Holcombian die with any other number of N sides will have a Holcombian "true" value of (N+1)/2 (ex: a 7-sided die has a Holcombian true value of 4, a 36 sided die has a Holcombian true value of 18.5, etc.) From this, we can determine that the Holcombian true value of a Holcombian die with zero sides is actually one-half. However, if you try to "measure" the value of the zero-sided die, you will naturally get a result of zero. This represents, of course, an error of -0.5 in your measurement, which therefore means if you measure a zero-sided die a second time, the measurement will regress toward the mean, and you will measure a value of 1. And since rolling a zero-sided die is mathematically equivalent to not rolling an N-sided die, it follows that, because error causes regression toward the mean, not rolling a die gives a value of 1 half of the time. I'm sure there's many, many other interesting properties of Holcombian dice that follow from this...such as: a sixth of the time you roll a six-sided die, you get a one, which is equivalent to not rolling the die at all...therefore, rolling a die will regress to not rolling the die because of error...
  5. fixed your post mike. seminole nation is almost as devastated as buckeye nation. It might be worse, because those ass jockeys from gainesville now hold the NCAAFB and NCAABB championships. It could be worse tho. My boss, before taking his job here at FSU, got his degree and worked at The Ohio St University. He's not happy today.
  6. fair enough. i havent seen enough of pitcock to form a decent opinion on him. But making judgements on him based on how he played in one game last night is assinine.
  7. I love it how all of you here make decisions about where and when to draft players based on 1 game. I guess it fits in right with the typical mentality here. He played bad in 1 game! he sucks!
  8. hey, they are the only undefeated team in college football. True Champions. Screw that bunch of scumbags from just down the road.
  9. WOW! i am surprised no one else has seen this or started a 3 page thread on this yet!!!
  10. I totally agree with you on your opinion of 1st round corners. Low paying, can step right in and play, and would give us money to spend in other areas. I'd not advocating the Bills daft a CB #1 right now, but in regards to CB's in general, you are dead on with your analysis.
  11. damn. one chick is tough enough, but could you imagine marrying both of them? christ. And only one guy could marry them. because i dont know too many guys that would want another guy nailing their wife.
  12. Its buckeye overload down here in Tallahassee today too, but thats a good thing! There are 40,000 freshly minted buckeye fans on campus today. Well, except for one local writer, who is trying to convince FSU fans to root for the gators because "we are both from florida" I'd shove rusty roofing nails up my ass long before i'd root for the gators.
  13. Agreed. I'll gladly take on a few thousand random europeans as Bills fans. Imagine seeing Bills jerseys showing up across europe! Plus, they cant be worse than most of the current trash on the board right now.
  14. If she did, you;d see AJ and Willis called in for paternity tests.
  15. Enter the one (or should i say half) man crowell hating crusade.
  16. All this does is prove what many of us have been saying. Protection problems are what have been dooming Willis.
  17. Looks like we have our THIRD homeless TBD'er after a bad bet. say hi to blinker2 for us!
  18. read some of Kely the Dog's posts recently.You'll like his excellent take on pennington and leinart.
  19. happy birthday!
  20. The only way that could have turned out better was if it happened to the fins or if marcia dropped the snap.
  21. On the open market, samuel would make more than clements. The patsies may tag him, but that would still mean paying 8 mil for him for 1 year. I dont think hes a pat next season.
  22. saban is a douchebag ****. His hiring also cost us Jimbo Fisher as OC.
  23. I'm all in favor of a playoff system, because the current BCS system is a load of crap. But you do bring up some good arguements. That being said, if the BCS is going to stay for the long term, and they are still going to use polls as a major weighting factor, then the poll system needs to be completely revamped. I HATE HATE HATE the preseason rankings. Polls should not come out until the end of september at the EARLIEST. Why should a team liek Auburn a few yrs back get screwed just because the retards, err, experts, thought they werent as good as oklahoma and USC in AUGUST! Last time i checked, bowl games and conference championships werent decided in august. If you fixed the poll system, it would prevent teams like this years all-hype, limited talent ND squad form even sniffing a BCS game.
  24. Well, according to "Bring it On", is ISNT a Cheer-ocracy.
