I was thinking of the clock getting cut in half as each unit is listed, with the 10:30 being half of 21. But I like your idea way better. It is tremendous.

That's just overkill. UConn will collectively cry, and so will all our opponents. Bring it on.

created an imaginary student named STEVE HOLT, we had a secretary enroll him, we took turns doing his homework. It drove our teachers nuts, they'd get homework from some guy who never attended class, whom they'd never seen.

I Can Haz Calculator?
I Can Haz Calculator?
Average Score: 44 - 14
Average Margin of Victory: 30 points.
Closest margin of victory: 21 points.
Year that the defense gives up 3 TDs, the offense scores 9 TDs.
I found it interesting that in 2007, RR's #6 rated WVU team (11-2) gave up 21 or more points in 7 of those games. However, WVU outscored the opposition 43 - 24 in those same 7 games (Western Michigan, Marshall, #18South Florida, Louisville, #21Cinncinnati, #20Uconn, and #3Oklahoma).
So, yay for high-powered offenses covering for mediocre defenses.

that really does bode well because in all honesty I am scared of the UConn..well I'm scared of every single game right becuase I, along with everyone has absolutely no clue how this team will do or who will even be starting the majority of the positions.
So, when even the smallest things such as Denard having awesome spring sessions to Randy Edsall never defeating a Rich Rodriguez led team really goes a long way to reducing the acid reflux that burns whenever I think about the opening game.
So in a round about way, I'd just like to thank you for posing this.

Please elaborate, because other than the ideal similiarity in result, I think UConn is the far superior team to Western.

You sure about that?
You sure about that?
Going into 2009, Western Michigan was coming off a hugely successful 9-4 season (Loss to Rice in the Texas Bowl), with a big time QB with a career 122.9 passer rating and a junior tailback averaging 5.4 YPC behind a veteran offensive line.
Going into the 2010 game, UConn is coming off a fairly successful 8-5 Season, with a QB with a career 116.39 rating, a senior tailback averaging 4.6 YPC behind a veteran offensive line.
Seems... familiar to me.

WMU's 2008 season was
WMU's 2008 season was bolstered by their defense. They lost it all in 2009. That and 3 of their top 4 receivers. UCONN returns most of their starters on both sides of the ball.
July 23rd, 2010 at 9:53 PM |
Granted
Granted
but I don't think offense will be our problem this year. We should see a jump almost as large as 08-09 for 09-10 on offense, so we should be able to put up semi-similar numbers on UCONN. So as long as our defense can be at least as good against UCONN as they were against WMU, I feel pretty confident.

One should hope. I just think
One should hope. I just think
One should hope. I just think comparing UCONN to WMU (not necessarily what you did, but I've seen that going around lately) isn't a very logical comparison, and probably a bit too optimistic. We're not talking a MAC school with huge losses from their best team in a decade. We're talking an AQ conference team returning most of their key playmakers.
July 23rd, 2010 at 10:03 PM |
No no no
No no no
I went to a MAC school (Toledo). Great schools, but beating a BCS Auto Qualifier, no matter which one, is always kind of a big deal. Actually, Toledo hardly celebrates the win over Michigan, because I think everybody there is smart enough to realize it doesn't really count. Also, for what it's worth, that shows what a lousy team Michigan was in 2008, because that was a lousy team for Toledo, too. Now, if it had been 2005 UT, that would be something else.
that is the way need need to think. Go Blue!!
