The ACT and SAT are IQ tests
No they aren't they are tests of specific domain knowledge they just happen to correlate to IQ.
IQ tests should be designed so prior experience has no relationship to performance. You can complete Ravens without ever doing a reasoning task but you couldn't complete the ACT without ever doing math.

Games played at neutral sites can negotiate a TV contact worth millions. Games played in home stadiums fall under conference TV contracts. It sucks but that's why neutral site games are so valuable to the AD.

That is a bit out there. For that to be the case that means they give LSU ~22% chance to win each game.
re: did anyone else notice that we always seem to play an Ivy League team
Posted by Philip J. Fry on 2/21/14 at 5:13 pm to vl100butch
We always play them the same week because it is the first week of the season they can play. The Ivy league doesn't allow baseball teams to play the first two weeks.
re: Jimmy Graham might smash Franchise Tag rules
Posted by Philip J. Fry on 2/18/14 at 10:33 am to BuccWildBammer
Here is my biased stance on why Graham won't get WR money if tagged.
The position you play has noothing to do with where you line up on the field. In 2009 (I think) most of Zach Strief's playing time came in when he was an extra tackle reporting as an eligible receiver, so most of his playing time was at a TE spot. That doesn't mean he was playing TE, he was a tackle lined up in a different spot on the field to gain an advantage. Jimmy is a TE that is moved around the formation to gain an advantage, but no matter where he is lined up he is playing TE.
If you are going to start splitting hairs like this you will run into problems. How is it distinguished if a TE or WR lines up in the backfield? are they a RB that play? are the X, Y, and Z receivers different positions? Is there a difference in right and left guards or tackles?
I think the Saints will follow a similar line of thought and make a good case to the NFL.
Edited TE to WR

re: I think Generation X is currently the best generation alive
Posted by Philip J. Fry on 2/9/14 at 2:53 pm to stendulkar
If there really is something wrong Generation Y (which I personally would argue there is nothing different from any other generation) it is entirely the new age parenting BS popularized by Gen X.
Also people have been complaining about how spoiled the following generation is since the industrial revolution. Get over being old and realize that every generation has been smarter on average than the last. Notice how the people making the technological advancements now are 20 years old and not 40 and you will understand how wrong your assumptions are.

The cameras are owned by the network broadcasting the game. It would be a pain for each week a new crew setting up their end zone cameras and taking them down.
Also more mobile cameras make more sense for them financially. Cost less money and they don't really give a damn if every call is correct.

re: LSU & Iowa eat 5,000 pounds of Outback
Posted by Philip J. Fry on 12/28/13 at 12:12 pm to sicboy
If you assume there are 300 people on each team that is still over 8lbs a person. I would bet that is just what they were provided no really what was consumed.
re: College Football needs to make defensive pass interference a spot foul
Posted by Philip J. Fry on 11/20/13 at 8:36 am to Ralph_Wiggum
I think if you make it a 15 yd penalty it should always be so. Even on a 1 yd crossing pattern. That way both teams can benefit from the difference.
