I can't wait. Will definitely be trying to get tickets to this one as I live in WY. I wouldn't worry too much about the game though, Wyoming is not a good football team recently.

Bo ought to be able to feed the kids AND buy new shoes with those numbers. Nice bonuses @ the end of the year at 250k even though we ended up losing the 2 games (B12, and bowl).

Let's just trash the parts that didn't work (the offense) and keep the rest... Actually, the running backs can stay and hopefully a healthy TMart (actual effectiveness still to be determined...)

CS; Your name and avatar made my evening... Awesome.

Amen.

This is why we need a -1 button.

I'm pretty sure that "some" people need to get a life. (Me included...)

The whole requirement to post the job is stupid and the posting should never have to occur in the first place. Bureaucratic red tape with overlapping layers of legal advice is the new "American Way"...

Just a bit of devil's advocate... If Frost's weakness is that he lacks experience, is the fact that Warriner has been a position coach for 27 years and not gotten the nod as an OC a cause of concern? To me, it is significant to have had that much time and exposure and not been chosen as an OC by any of the schools where he's coached. Edit: Oops, I screwed that up. He was the OC @ Kansas then moved to the OL coach at Notre Dame. Perhaps, the overall idea of the post is still somewhat valid as a concern as a move to OL coach from OC seems strange, especially after success @ KU.

Wow, any other questions... LOL

No, not strange. UNL is a huge business with policies that run across the board. The HC position was likely advertised as a matter of policy too. It's just meeting a policy requirement.

I think I prefer the Texas bowl game (lack) to our "performance"...

I suddenly find myself humming the star spangled banner. Weird...

Irony is fun.

So, is "pig latin" a real language?

No. It's a lazy spin-off of a real language. There is a difference.

Carl Once again, I didn't claim them to be the best predictor, only a valid predictor. U not read good...

I don't think anybody would argue that MC tests are an ideal format. However, essay exam format for something done on the scale of the ACT is entirely impractical. I'm fairly certain the original topic (other than BH's eligibility) was about the ACT being a valid predictor of college success (this is the only debate I signed up to contest). Essay vs. MC exam procedures is yet another attempt to gain a "win" regardless of the topic... Are we going to go further off course in an attempt to avoid the original debate?

It's not so much the ability to fill in the circle, but to choose the appropriate circle. And I'd say anatomy is pretty worthless for the vast majority of attorneys, yet competence (@ dissection/anatomy) displays the ability to learn/process and possibly to some extent a measure of a well rounded education. Though the ability recall and apply case law does seem rather important. Getting hung up on the multiple choice format (done for the sake of efficency) is a bit of a red herring, don't you think?

OP Could you post the photo of the current state of the stadium from the same angle (IOW, pre-photoshop). I'm afraid that I do not have Memorial Stadium memorized.

Well said Krill.

Thank you for helping to prove my point. The academies do have higher standards and do value (somewhat) test performance. Whereas enlisted individuals are not held to the same academic standard. I thought the point was obvious enough... We're trying to debate the validity of the ACT with regards to academic performance. Why do you keep wandering off on tangents? I think I can answer that question, nevermind. Actually, the research supports the assertion that test performance correlates with college performance. Well I guess I'll just have to accept your bravado as fact... (Grammar errors look especially silly when trying to establish intellectual superiority. ) This tells me just about all I need to know. The answer to your question is YES. Relying upon anecdote over statistical analysis of data is unwise. So redblood, let's recap. You are claiming that the ACT is invalid because, as an anecdotal example, you were a poor student yet obtained a reasonably good ACT score. The ACT score predicted success in college, yet you were unsuccessful. Because you were unsuccessful after the ACT predicted success, the ACT is therefore invalid as a tool of predicting academic performance. Is that it?

I'm from NP and my Dad teaches at the HS. I'm certainly among the new Patriot fans (though not in Nebraska anymore) and wish Danny nothing but the best. His story is kind of like Rudy, but with actual athletic talent...

And I'm saying that being a "good test taker" is likely a sign of intelligence. Now if you are claiming that you were good at exams, yet displayed a poor GPA, then I would counter with the idea that you're likely lazy and unfocused, yet intelligent. There are a million ways to succeed or fail. Brilliant people fail regularly and stupid people succeed wildly. Each with some degree of regularity based on a host of other factors.

N=1 is "proof" of nothing.
