NFL players from SEC schools (Server is back up)

I got bored and wrote some code to download and search the nfl roster pages on nfl.com for current Players from the SEC and compile the results.
I put the results on one of my spare servers here
It's set up to update at 2:00 am CST every day.
If you are running Linux and want to play with the code you can get it here
6:00 am Update:
Got it debugged and revised code uploaded to server. Typical coding bs -- frick with it for hours and then realize "Oh @#$ there's the problem" and fix it in 5 minutes.
I still have hard feelings toward every college in the state of Mississippi -- all 413 of them
5:00 PM Update:
Just woke up and discovered server wasn't responding. Fixed it. Must remember to reboot old server every couple of months.

Good catch
I had to do extra filtering to because of all the Mississippi schools and it got fubared. Will have it fixed in a few. It would be easier if there weren't so many !!@#@ schools in Mississipi. Evey time you think you have the filtering right you've missed Northern South Central Western Mississippi School for the Deaf Mutants or something

All of Mississippi State's players are listed twice. They only have 16 in the NFL.

I'm debugging the code now
Bear with me

Bama lost in the national championship game so that makes everything ok :)

Bama has won the SEC 5 times and the NC 4 times since 2009. L6U has scored more than 17 once on Bama since 2009. FACTS!!!

Despite the #1 recruiting championships and National Championships Bama has less players than 8-4 LSU teams.
Clearly it proves Bama truly is BUST-U.
Mike Mayock has been saying this the last couple years during the draft.

Doesn't change the FACT that
Congrats on the, uh, uh, NFL wins?

Wussed out and hand edited the output from the code to correct what's on my server.
If I can't get this debugged by daylight then we'll just have to kick Miss State out of the SEC for causing so much trouble.
Anyone here good at shell scripts? Got something frikked up in this script. The complete source code is here

It's cool when it works right
Must check code closer before posting to board
Will get it fixed -- Hell I didn't want to do any REAL work tonight and this is as good of an excuse as any.

Man, I bet those Bama players are GODS to their fellow McDonald's co-workers.

I looked at it and felt like I was in over my head
My guess would be that similar to how schools containing the name of the SEC team get their players added to the team files (i.e. Miss State players get added to the Mississippi file), when the code adds players to the Mississippi file it might add them to the Mississippi State file too, so you get the repeated players.
