Birmingham Bowl - ESPN Beanie

I bet the players are fighting to line up for that....

I think I found the hypotenuse. No, wait, that was acid reflux. My bad.

I don't think I full understand the stats. For example, let's take Drew Eckels:

Under Individual Passing Stats he has 1 completion and 1 attempt for a 100% completion ratio and 10 yards, yet his yards per attempt are 2.5 -- so did he have 1 attempt or 4 attempts (10/2.5)?

I'm confused.

Also, he was sacked once for a Sack Rate of 50%. I can understand if maybe they're counting all snaps within this ratio, but unfortunately, there is no other information about this young man within these stats. If I look on ESPN, it looks like Eckels only played for one game and they have him listed as having 1 passing attempt and 2 rushing attempts... so 3 attempts and 1 sack? That's not 50%. 

I don't understand. Someone with a brain explain this madness to me before I hurt myself.

[Edit] If I count the sack and attempt as two plays, then I can understand the 50% sack rate, but then I don't understand the yards per attempt. If I throw in the rushing stats then I can create four downs (attempt, sack, rush, rush), which would account for the amount of attempts needed for a 2.5 yards per attempt, but his rushing numbers are a total of -1, so that wouldn't make sense with the 10.

THERE IS A DREW ECKELS CONSPIRACY I TELL YOU!11!!

This is too smart for me. Please tell Mr. Connelly to call me when he can turn this into a meme or Photoshop graphic so that I can understand whatever he's trying to say.

I agree. WKU will be a nice litmus test to see if the Bulls have finally turned the corner or if we're still as bipolar as ever.

I saw an advertisement saying WKU students get in for free, and I thought that was a real nice touch. With the distance involved for those students, anything helps -- smart move for WKU athletics.

This will be a fun game. WKU's offense is legit.

Beetlejuice is correct. But Tremors or Dune would also be acceptable.

I've been humming this beat ever since I saw the title of this thread.

We were so close to winning this game

So you're from Civilization, but support Sand Worm University -- that's fair.

See, you looked right past it. It was definitely there the whole time.  

If you get this tattooed on your chest, I'll accept it as USF tradition and lore.

It's okay, I found this map of Kentucky and it's equally as bad.

We placed higher than I would have thought. Thanks for putting it together.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Brad, how much do I have to donate to TBP to ban the word 'Flamingo' ?

Pretty sure I can get a fund together for this.

Although not birthed there, my ex-girlfriend (despite being a raging *****) was also visible in both of these contests. Therefore, I hereby pronounce my ex-girlfriend as an official USF tradition. 

She might as well be... I mean, depending on which fraternity you ask, she already was a tradition -- at least an oral one.

I can't stand by S&P+ as they do not have UCF as the worst team in the world this year, but the F/+ ratings look all right.

This one is green and gold:

A random survey of 100 USF alumni who had been to 25 or more games in the past decade would find, at most, that two of them had heard of the War Flamingo -- less than one of respondents would subsequently classify it as a tradition.

It's super forced and more a kin to an inside joke amongst an extremely small group of people than a tradition; there's nothing wrong with it existing, but it has very little to do with the greater USF populous.

Tamplona is worse than War Flamingo, which is impressive.

This isn't his fault. In 1894, the state of Kentucky abolished the cardinal direction 'West' because it got too confusing for its citizens. Also, Kentucky has no rectangles (only squares) and all mammals are referred to as cats.

I dated a girl from Campbellsville -- visiting her family was always... an interesting trip.

Fun fact: Despite what the Campbellsville phonebook says, there are no taxi companies that serve Campbellsville, nor any means of public transportation, so don't put the keys of your rental car into the overnight return slot without checking the car first to make sure that you do, indeed, have your cellphone.

As long as he/she/it is willing to commit to one or the other, yeah, I think I'm ok with this. What I don't want is creeper Big Red having unrestricted access to all bathrooms and a fallback excuse involving gender equality and LGBTTQQFAGPBDSM rights.

ESPN would rather buy the company you work for, fire you, and say "There, now you can make the game... stop complaining" before they would change their time for the game -- they genuinely don't give a ****.
