HuskerfaninOkieland Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Cy, That my friend is probably one of the funniest things I've read from you on this board Quote Link to comment
sarge87 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 CY: This board really needs to have you as a regular writer of full length stories --- special features of the Big 12 Self Proclaimed Athletic Dictator --- and we can place that Big Red Bird Mascot Thingie next to your name each time. You are doubtless an excellent writer and truly entertaining. Keep them coming --- that was a great read. Gets my vote!!!! I'll second that! Quote Link to comment
jayhawk Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Colorado School of Mines.....lol Was NU's share of parity divided and given to KU MU and CU as well? I went to Mines... Be nice :'( You make the baby Jesus cry with your taunting of my academically minded brethren... Very funny stuff Cy... Do they teach how to drill someone there or what...if so, I would think they would have a lot of good defensive football players or porn stars come out of there.... No, not really, it is full of engineers. I am sure they do discuss drilling, but it is more a place where you go to do hardcore science for people who thought normal science was soft. If you want to be a mining engineer, a petroleum engineer, a geologist or even a normal engineer, it is great. As it is about 85% male, not many porn stars coming out of there. With the nerd quotient a bit high, even gay man would probably find the pickings slim On the other hand, we produced lots of sports all americans of the academic sort.... Our best football player won the d-2 equivalent of the heisman here is the SI article excerpt on him Not too long ago, Chad Friehauf was a very good football player. In 2004, as quarterback for Colorado School of Mines, he set D-II season records for passing yards (4,213) and total offense (4,878) on his way to winning the Harlon Hill Trophy, given to the best D-II football player in the nation. In 2005, Friehauf was signed as a free agent by the Denver Broncos and played in one preseason game before being released. So what's the 6-foot-7 quarterback doing now that he's off the football field? He's back at his old college, on the basketball court. Two years after graduating, Friehauf has returned to Mines to pursue another degree and take full advantage of his remaining three years of basketball eligibility. Lucky guy. He gets to go through college twice, once as a football star and once as a basketball player. I wonder if the cheerleaders still remember him. Mines usually takes 5 years to get an undergrad degree, even for good students. Would not surprise me if he needed 7 years to get through and get a master's degree. Not many other great football players there (by Nebraska Standards, but a lot of Nebraskans go there, 7 on the team) , hard to find a whole team of these guys who can get it done on and off the field, ask MIT and CalTech why they don't even try . They try though, they are decent and under Friehauf they went 12-1, but he was GOOD..... I am afraid the Cyclones could take em.... Just... Quote Link to comment

Maybe just the kind of team that they need to be able to play against, huh Cy? Quote Link to comment
