Washington and Lee does seem like a logical fit academically, wheras Fisk does not.

What in the heck do you mean that Fisk does not fit academically? You need to do your research my friend.

You nailed it Ralph! Without Thomas's hands, Texas would not have made the comeback. Every championship team needs that possesion type receiver. ;)

Is there any controversy for the knee on the ground option?  Without those six points, its a different ball game.  Or would Texas have scored on the next play anyway?

Ralph Turner

If the UT interception of the Leinart pass in the first half had been reviewed in the booth and confirmed that he had possession when he was down (the ground cannot cause a fumble), the USC doesn't likely score before the half.

IMHO, it is a wash! :)

Thomas

What about when Charles the RB caught the ball and 10 stripped it and the gave Texas the ball back.  That was the difference.

Well. seeing as how it wasn't a catch, of course it would still be Texas' ball.

Thomas

The replay guy messed up.  That was a fumble.  USC gets the ball back and they put the game out of reach.

What about the comparison between the three heisman finalists?  Young was the better by far.  Good job heisman voters.

Thomas

Who will be the best pro?  They keyed on Bush and made Leinart adn the rest beat them.  It is unfair to say they got it wrong.

This should be on the SCAC board, but here's your research, courtesy of collegeboard.com.  Let's compare Fisk to two SCAC schools, Millsaps and Trinity:

SAT Verbal430-560520-660600-690
SAT Math420-540540-640610-690
ACT Composite18-2223-2927-30
top 25% of HS class40%69%81%
>=3.0 HS GPA56%89%93%

I believe the research supports Coach C's assertion.

Compare the same schools graduation rate. The "finished product" at Fisk is comparable to these SCAC schools my friend.   

From www.collegeresults.org

College                     Enrollment Tuition  Graduation rate (5 yr)

Fisk University TN        905        $13,669      77.0%  
Trinity University TX      1,300       $17,820      73.6%
Millsaps College MS        1,165       $14,226      68.2%

No offense, but your assertion doesn't hold water. Just because more people graduate at Fisk doesn't make it a better school.

In fact, it's much easier to picture those stats meaning the exact opposite, isn't it? Food for thought.
