the data ARE wrong (the word "data" is plural, dude).

Usage Discussion of DATA

Data leads a life of its own quite independent of datum, of which it was originally the plural. It occurs in two constructions: as a plural noun (like earnings), taking a plural verb and plural modifiers (as these, many, a few) but not cardinal numbers, and serving as a referent for plural pronouns (as they, them); and as an abstract mass noun (like information), taking a singular verb and singular modifiers (as this, much, little), and being referred to by a singular pronoun (it). Both constructions are standard. The plural construction is more common in print, evidently because the house style of several publishers mandates it.

I just argued that you presented the data completely out of the context of the games played.

All information was presented in order of games played with the exception of Arkansas because I felt it should be separated and highlighted as TAMU truly was the most dominant offense Ark faced. I first presented the exceptional TAMU offensive production, followed by other offenses productions against the same opponents. I did not include intangibles like a RSFS nerves, Fla's inability to game plan on defense prior to the first snap, Ark trip being a home game for TAMU, or LaTech being an away game. I simply presented the raw data.



Are you capable of admitting that TAMU IS NOT THE MOST PRODUCTIVE OFFENSE THAT MOST OF ITS OPPONENTS HAVE FACED?



Do you have tangible evidence to the contrary?
