Space Emperor actually bends the space time contiuum with his awesome alien mind powers to physically make the area inside the 10yd line have a larger gravity well than the rest of the field, thus making it larger but not seeming so to our puny 3-dimensional minds.

Travis Dorsch ex-field goal kicker for Purdue. Was talking about doing many studies on field goal kickers during the 'due-osu game.

did the sideline reporter really say he was getting a PhD for his research on kickers?? I'm guessing it's a PhD in psychology or possibly, parapsychology.
