I am totally stunned that VT made a BCS bowl, and I am pleased that it will be Michigan. Coming from a half-Michigan family, this is going to be hilarious fun. |

Techsideline.com is the flagship Virginia Tech blog. It's been around since Tech upset Texas in the Sugar Bowl — 16 years ago. |

According to this article, there were 604 student arrests at Ole Miss in 2010. Now, there are 19,536 students at the University of Mississippi, according to the school's figures. That works out to one arrest per 32.34 students. For argument's sake, let's say one arrest per 33 students. Each Division IA football school is allowed 85 scholarship players. Walk-ons and the rest mean we could probably move that figure up to 100, just for the sake of argument. Working with those quick and dirty figures, you'd expect three Ole Miss players to be arrested in 2010. According to last year's Fulmer Cup standings and my own quick Googling, the only arrest I found during 2010 was a player named Scott. Can you find any other arrests? Also, can anyone else find another school's arrest information so we can figure out another data point? |

I reversed their positions. |

came about because UAF put out a RFP that contained a complicated task with a ridiculously low ability to pay. A video company took up the challenge on a whim, and when the first one went viral, the company did it again because they liked the attention it got them. In short, you created this. |

When you look at how series develop, you notice that when teams visit Alaska, they tend to fall into the jet-lag trap a bit more than Alaska does when it goes Outside. A lot of fans here know to go to the Friday night games, because you're more likely to see the Nooks win than on Saturday. In addition, the Nooks only just broke a long losing streak, so they're still very motivated to at least split road series from here on out. |

I'm already tracking stuff for the Fulmer Cup, so I figured I'd collect the rest of the things I run across for this. |

With any line less than Stanford -10. The Hokies are notorious for poor preparation in bowl games and have gone 8-9 in bowl games since 1993. That record is only that good because of wins in the last two (against Tennessee and Cincinnati). In addition, Virginia Tech's record against top-10 teams is abysmal. You'd have to look it up for me, but I believe that under Beamer, Tech is 6-29 against teams ranked in the top 10. I tend to discount the loss of the starting LB because his backup played more as the year went on. He played in several games even before the ACCCG, where he performed well for the entire second half. On the Stanford side of things, remember that Stanford is participating in its first BCS bowl game. This is a major motivation for that team, whereas Tech has already met its goal of turning its season around after an 0-2 start and winning the ACC. All these things considered, I'd advise betting on Stanford. |

You have "FBS (I-AA)". It's a quibble, but I just wanted to contribute something to this incredibly awesome feature. |

It was a pretty cool launch to watch — absolutely brilliantly clear blue skies, the sun trending off toward sunset and lighting the horizon with shades of orange and red — and I'm glad Michigan was a part of it. |
