Oklahoma is 74-5 vs Iowa state in football. And they've only lost once to them in the last 50 years

Nolan Ryan played against both Mickey Mantle, who started his career in 1951, and Tim Wakefield, who retired in 2011.

Or look at it another way...

Nolan Ryan started his career only 5 years after Ted Williams' last year in the league, and Ted Williams entered the league in 1939, and Nolan Ryan retired only 2 years before Derek Jeter entered the league, and Jeter retired in 2014.

So Nolan Ryan was nearly a connection between two all-time greats, one of which started in 1939 and one who retired in 2014.

Didn't Wade Boggs only pop out like 3 times in a season?

I know I'm fricking this one up.

WestCoast, help me out here.

Wilt Chamberlain didn’t win MVP the year he scored 50.4 points and grabbed 22.9 rebounds per game. (Bill Russell did.)

Wilt’s 50.4 ppg season is 31.6% better than the next-highest scoring average in history. (Elgin Baylor’s 38.3 ppg is second and was also set in 1962).

LSU is one of those teams that went to the Final 4 four times in its history, but has only went to the NCAA Tournament just 6 times since 1993.

This is exactly why I don't give any credit to basketball or basketball players back then.

I don't even acknowledge it as a sport.

Could MJ and Lebron have a baby who could ever average 50 ppg? No? Exactly.

Basketball back then doesn't count in my book.

Jim Mora and Marvin Lewis were head coaches for a grand total of 29 years in the league between them.

They have a cumulative record of: 243-209-3 (0.537).

Their regular season % is individually and cumulatively better than FIVE SB winning coaches.

1. Tom Coughlin (.531 - 2 wins)
2. Tom Flores (.527 - 2 wins)
3. Dick Vermeil (.524 - 1 win)
4. Gary Kubiak (.522 - 1 win)
5. Weeb Ewbank (.502 - 1 win)

Only Mora has a better % than Gruden (.540 - 1 win)

They cumulatively made the playoffs 13 times with a record of 0-13....

Babe Ruth threw a no hitter, without throwing a single strike.

Carroll Hardy was the only person to pinch hit for Ted Williams.

Carroll Hardy was the only person to pinch hit for Carl Yastrzemski.

Frank Reich leading the biggest comebacks in both CFB and NFL history. First as a Terp down to Miami 31-0 and then as a Bill down to the Oilers 35-3 in a Wilcard game.

I think MSU broke the college one in '06 but the pro record still stands.

And Northwestern never having played in an NCAA tourney was news to me.
