re: USA Today's Top 25 College Football Coaches
Posted by Globetrotter747 on 5/12/24 at 9:45 am
Smart is clearly #1 but hard to say beyond that. Swinney has the best resume, but he seems too old school to fully embrace NIL and the portal. (He’s not too old school to accept a $100,000,000 contract to lead an extracurricular activity, though.) He also isn’t hitting on QB’s anymore and is experie...

I think the question you need to be asking is this: what would it look like if the 1972 Miami Dolphins could somehow be time warped to the present while in their primes and given the same sports science a...
re: What's the closest you or a family member has been to a part of history?
Posted by Globetrotter747 on 5/5/24 at 8:02 am
I guess the closest thing for me personally is having visited the World Trade Center before 9/11. I visited in 1990 when I was 11, and 9/11 happened when I was 22. I have an eerie picture of me looking out over the Hudson from the indoor observatory of the South Tower around sunset.
Anyway, becau...

$13 million a year to lead an extracurricular activity and teach life lessons through football to young adults getting their college education as these scholars mature to become pillars of society. I am glad the alumni and administration recognize the importance of this and ensure that Kirby remains...

I dislike schedule expansion primarily because it fricks up all the statistical records. It also makes each game a little less meaningful. I wish the NFL had stayed at 16 games. ...

re: Bigfoot- Believe or No?
Posted by Globetrotter747 on 4/29/24 at 7:15 pm
Lack of evidence aside, an extant population of very large primates native to the PNW is implausible. Great apes reside in tropical regions of Africa and Asia, and there are none in the fossil record in North America. Not only do we not have Bigfoot fossils but nothing of any species even similar to...

Imagine how easy it was to fool ignorant people with no cameras, no organized news, no televisions, no radios, primitive science, etc. Just word of mouth between Cities A, B, C, and so forth.

[quote]I can’t discount every sighting. [/quote]
All things (Bigfoot, Nessie, E.T., ghosts, religious figures, etc.) have their supposed eyewitnesses. It’s unreasonable to take any of them seriously without evidence that matches the significance of the claim.
It baffles me how so many people kn...

With six seconds left in the Iron Bowl and down by one point, yes, it was. 52 yards is a long FG for any era.
And although kickers used a tee back then, kickers today have a lot more emphasis...
