Yep. Some of the kids attend our church in McKinney.

HOOK'em Horns!

Congrats to the great state of Texas.

Ralph Turner · January 05, 2006, 01:27:17 AM

Vince Young is one incredible QB!

I really like the TE Thomas as well!

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 · January 05, 2006, 10:58:42 AM

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 · January 05, 2006, 12:32:35 PM

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 · January 05, 2006, 01:50:50 PM

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 · January 05, 2006, 03:14:04 PM

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:

Stat	Fisk	Millsaps	Trinity
SAT Verbal	430-560	520-660	600-690
SAT Math	420-540	540-640	610-690
ACT Composite	18-22	23-29	27-30
top 25% of HS class	40%	69%	81%
>=3.0 HS GPA	56%	89%	93%

I believe the research supports Coach C's assertion.

wilburt · January 06, 2006, 07:53:05 AM

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%

Pat Coleman · January 06, 2006, 04:50:40 PM

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.
