Not entirely - after all, if the WAC didn't suck, then the
possibility exists that the Big 12 doesn't suck either (because we all
know that WAC > Big 12, and the rest follows through transitivity).
However, keep in mind that this is a sufficient but not necessary
condition for suckiness, or, to put it in terms that OU fans (and Big 12
fans in general) might understand, don't put the trailer home in front
of the pickup....

Anybody can tell you that a pickup won't pull a trailer home. Not even
a FORD. Hell, Dostalik's house took a damn semi-rig.

This is hilarious!

Who would have thought one year ago that fans of the Big 12 would be
fending off claims of superiority from WAC fans?

Now I don't believe for a minute that the WAC is even close to the
Big 12, but the fact that someone actually has a few numbers to make it
look plausable is pretty funny.

Makes me wish I had saved some of those posts by Big 12 fans like
Craig Gowens, etal. proclaiming equality or superiority of the Big 12
to the SEC even though the Big 12 had never played a game.

Some of us tried to tell you not to make claims until the Big 12 actually
started playing games, but Nooooooo! You wouldn't listen.

The Big Twelve, WAC, and the SEC have a statistically insignificant separation
in suckness. This means that the Big Twelve could very easily suck TWICE as
much as the WAC; while BOTH conferences suck a million times more than a
good conference like the Big East.

Well, a year ago, the WACkos were claiming superiority over the Patsy 10
on the strength of the WAC winning the season series against Patsy 10
teams. BTW, how'd the WAC do this year against them?

BTW, who won the season series between the Big XII and the SEC? This is not
bait, I really don't know. I'm surprised that it hasn't been discussed ad
nauseum.

I think the reason this hasn't been discussed is because there weren't
many games involving the two conferences. The only one I can think of was
Georgia's victory over Texas Tech. That may have been the only one.

I think you mean "Notre Dame beat Texas." Penn State isn't in the SEC,
it's in the Big East.
And Southwest Louisiana beat A&M, so that's two.

Of course, Memphis beat Tennessee, so that's one for the Big 12.

BTW, is it true that every conference with a "Tigers" team in it
just keeps that team around for the cheap wins?

Well, I suppose it was bait to the extent that it was meant to
engender an argument, but OTOH, the WAC has in fact surpassed the ACC
and Big Easy with the exception of the Florida schools (and maybe the
Big Easy in general given Miami's performance lately), so I don't know

Bob, you mispelled "Please post Sagarin's conference ratings so I am forced yet

> performance lately)

Unless you're talking about altitude or number of teams in the conference,
there isn't a single "fact" that supports this inane notion.

I can assume that you're only talking about this past season, since in the
12 seasons since the last WAC team was named MNC, teams in the ACC or Big
East have won five. So let's look at 1996.

The WAC certainly didn't win any games against Big East or ACC teams, so
you can't make any silly 7 to 6 analogies. In fact (and yes, this really
IS a fact) the Big East won the only matchup vs. the WAC (and that was a
road game).

Still in search of "facts" that support the idea that the WAC has
surpassed the ACC and the Big East, I turned to the only source available
that compares all of college football, the Sagarin ratings. The rankings
for 1996 by conference average were:

1 Big 10 81.28
2 Pac 10 80.01
3 SEC 78.92
4 Big 12 77.76
5 ACC 73.65
6 Big East 73.53
7 ConfUSA 72.48
8 WAC 66.12

The WAC, in fact, sucks. However, since I don't in "fact" want to change
my daughter's diaper and, if I keep typing, my wife will do it, I'll humor
you and look at the numbers more closely. Florida State's Sagarin score
is 99.04 and Miami's is 86.22. If you throw out either team's score and
recalculate the average for the remaining teams, the ACC would drop to
70.47 and the Big East would drop to 71.72. Both numbers are, in "fact,"
still greater than 66.12. Carrying your erroneous assertion even further,
removing FSU and North Carolina (93.24) drops the ACC to 67.22, and
removing the two top teams from the Big East (Syracuse - 89.96 and
Virginia Tech - 87.04) drops them to 68.54. These numbers are STILL
better than the WAC.

As a preemptive strike, I looked at the numbers and saw that the WAC is
more bottom heavy than Tonya Harding. However, you can remove Hawaii,
UNLV, UTEP, San Jose State and Fresno State and the WAC still doesn't
measure up. The most telling stat, though, is if you replaced Hawaii
(46.39) with Florida State, the WAC wouldn't make up half the difference
between themselves and the Big East. Frankly, WAC looks like it should
stand for We're Almost ConferenceUSA.

Now, what was that you were saying about starting an argument about how
the WAC has "in fact" surpassed the ACC and the Big East?

Oh, c'mon, that's easy!

"The WAC is just as good. As the ACC and the Big East."

Wait, let me try again.

"The ACC and Big East have. Nothing on the WAC."

Damn, it's not as simple as it looks. Let's try this instead:

"The WAC won the season series over the Big 12."

Ah, *much* easier...

You can't get good Chicken Fried Steak at Golden Corral.

Chicken Fried Steak is optimally served in a locally-owned, non-chain
diner. Moreover, the server must be a female of least 60 years of age.
Also, there must be no less than three, but no more than ten, other
customers in the establishment. At least half of these must be men
older than 60 years, and a majority of these must be smoking and
drinking coffee.

If four or more are wearing hats which advertise a local bank, feed
store, farm cooperative or farm implement vendor, you are in for the
best Chicken Fried Steak in the county.

Jonathan, sometimes I just don't know about you.
Do they teach anything USEFUL at Rice?

The reason chicken fried steak comes with gravy
is to KEEP you from gettin' a tummy-ache. Would
you eat SOCKS without gravy? No. Well, that's
what chicken fried steak is, breaded & fried socks.

Sheesh.

You forgot that the decor must at least be twenty, but no more than forty
years old. You can also sustitute tabacco chewin' for smokin' for the 60

Well the problem up here in Wisconsin, is that you are either a chef, or
a bartender that doubles as a cook.... There are not many places where a
place that employs a "cook" doesn't serve alchohol.

put the chaw in his right cheek, and still drink coffee
(Fresca after noon, Budweiser after 5 pm) on the left

Or the server may be a 30-45 year old female...preferably single
mother...with lots o' hair and liberal use of hair spray.

On the other hand, you may want to say "generous use of hair spray." My
guess is that use of the word "liberal" in such an establishment is
grounds for a lynching.

Well, I thought that the gravy might be causing the problem, but,
now that I think about it, you may be on to something. I should get

eat some leaves off the trees - the taste would be the same and it would
be cheaper.

As I told McManus, you may be right. I always avoided the gravy
at Rice because I was told that it could send you to the bathroom faster
than the refried beans could. I didn't want to ruin the chicken-fried
steak, either, because it was the only thing that Central Kitchen could
make right (and, given the list of ingredients above, I can see why).
I've always had problems with the gravy before, probably because of a
genetic deficiency inherited from my parents because they were born up
North.

Don't sweat it. I have (distant) relatives up north who refer
to their gravy as "sauce".

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Everybody knows that
"sauce" refers to the type of stuff Walkup manufactures in the shed
behind his trailer (I think he may use old socks, too).

Put enough ranch dressing on those trees and you've got yourself a pretty
good salad. Add bacon to taste.

It seems he thinks that about all of it since he claims to be out of Rock

Well, at the concert in Clemson last April he said looking out to the crowd,

"It's a beautiful spring night and I'm sure as hell not married anymore".

Didn't play any of the songs that could be construed as ballads/etc. to the
former Mrs. Joel - not _Uptown Girl_ or _Shameless_ or _State of Grace_
though he certainly did _Big Shot_ and _Stiletto_ <g>.

Nah, The Stranger, then Glass Houses then anything else except The Bridge.

The Stranger was the best this Billy Joel ever did. Piano Man second.

Shoot, I don't even have allergies, but I still rank 'em (1) The Stranger;
(2) 52nd Street; (3) Glass Houses. We're moving dangerously close to a
consensus here.

Nope, just have been a fan forever and ever, amen. In fact, when he came
to Clemson last year, I would have committed murder and/or mayhem to get
tickets. As it was, I stood in line for close to 3 hours on one of the
coldest and most blustery days in March to get them and would have paid
outrageous amounts of money to see him. He is THE MAN. I will have all
of his stuff on CD one day. I'm slowly but surely adding everything I have
on vinyl and tape into the CD collection. I want Streetlife Serenade next
I believe - only have that on tape. Damn, why didn't I bring in everything
today so I could have a BJ songfest to work by? Hindsight is 20/20.

There is another good one. I like a few tracks on 52nd street better than
others. Clearly he has classics on nearly every album, although he was
getting angry towards the industry on the last two.
