  1. If you go to Rocky's site for week 2 -

    http://capitalonebowl.com/#/standings/rocky-the-bull/2

     

    you can then change the end number to 3, 4, 5, etc.

     

    There is also the option to vote for future dates, but I'd be willing to bet that they will reset things the week of every matchup

     

    If you want to get a head-start on future weeks challenges for extra points, you can do that as well.

    For example:

     

    Week 3 vs. TTU:

    25 points: Create a tailgate dish inspired by Rocky the Bull. Name the dish and describe it.

    100 points: Make the dish and photograph or film the finished product.

     

    or

     

    Week 10 vs University of Montana

    25 points: If you were Rocky the Bull's campaign manager, what would his campaign slogan

    100 points: Make a campaign poster for Rocky the Bull and film or photograph yourself posting it around town

     

  2.  

    following the gametracker, there are links to depaul showing video of the game. Why are we not able to have an agreement with Bullscast to share this feed?

     

    It's Depaul's feed. Look at the URL.

     

    Why we don't have our own feed is another question entirely...

     

    Game Two started - Go Bulls!

     

    what i mean is, in a situation where we cannot provide our own feed, should be an agreement to allow bullscast to have access and share the other teams and we would reciprocate when we are home team. I believe it was done this way when we faced UF (it sounded like Gator broadcasters).

  3. speaking of inflated gpa's, although this is going to be about college gpa, not high school i found this might be appropriate. A B+ is worth 3.3 at usf while at UF is worth 3.5. A B- is worth 2.67 where UF does not have a minus system. Strange but true.

    Back on the high school "inflation" rant. The extra points are a reward for those who attempt a larger courseload.  There is criteria involved for the teacher and a minimum amount in the curriculum to be covered. In Broward county there was a year in 2003 where honors classes were weighted the same "extra" points as the AP classes. The plan bombed because those taking AP classes dropped them and took the easier courseload in the Honors classes and aced them. In turn, this pushed those who were "rightfully" in the Honors classes further down the totem poll and adversely affecting their performance.  The system was switched back the next year to add 1 point for honors and 2 for ap. i.e., an A in regular = 4.0, Honors = 5.0, AP = 6.0.
