I was more careful on the second one. 50/50

7/9/2008 10:58:48 PM

I can't figure out whose gold helmet that is on the first one with a black facemask, and a stripe.. but i missed eastern michigan (wrote EKU) and Iowa (wrote Iowa St.)..and whoever that other one is.

haha and "conneticut" is spelled wrong. i was wondering why connecticut wasn't working.

The gold helmet with the single black stripe down the middle is Army.

7/9/2008 11:07:56 PM

50/50 both times. Make it harder next time. That was so easy. Throw in more non-BCS schools like Arkansas State (I'm sure a few missed that one) or even some Ivy League schools.

Did Arkansas State change their helmets recently I thought they had ASU written across their helmet with a feather in the S.

Also I found it quite funny that USC was accepted for Southern California and not for South Carolina

7/10/2008 7:04:03 AM

anybody have trouble getting the NC State one to work in the first one?

7/10/2008 8:24:11 AM

43/50 on the first one

Cant remember who the fuck the aardvarks were.

80/100

7/10/2008 4:21:56 PM

^ Aardvarks? Are you referring to Akron? Perhaps you are reading Aardvarks instead of Aztecs on the side of the San Diego State helmet.

There's a couple with just a plain M. Maroon helmet with gold M is Minnesota. Black helmet with gold M is Missouri. White helmet with red M is Miami (OH). Just typing Miami though is sufficient for that one.

Orange with blue numbers is Syracuse. They changed their helmet to resemble those from way back in the day like the 50s and 60s. I thought the change was stupid b/c one the plain orange helmet with just a blue stripe bounded by two thin white stripes was very recognizable and iconic for them. And what do you know they had their best success most recently with those helmets. Most people remember Syracuse that way with Donovan McNabb.

The other orange helmet is that of Bowling Green. That isn't an O, it's a falcon.

Green with gold spirals that resemble ram horns, like that of the St. Louis Rams, is Colorado State.

Blue with red bronco mustang is that of SMU (Southern Methodist)

7/10/2008 4:26:10 PM

You should know who the fuck Akron is since we monumentally lost to them in 2006. The University of Akron's athletic teams are known as the "Zips," originally short for "Zippers," overshoes that were nationally popular in the 1920s and 1930s, and the zipper-an invention from Akron (Judson). The university's mascot is "Zippy", a kangaroo. Zippy is one only a few female college mascots in the United States. The other mascots include Lulu the female bull dog for Gardner-Webb University, Udee the hen for the University of Delaware, Freida Falcon from Bowling Green State University, and Penny the Penguin for Youngstown State University.

7/10/2008 4:28:32 PM

^I thought that one helmet was syracuse...maybe I was spelling it wrong.

Definately talking about the Akron helmet in my last post. I google searched it and found it.

thanks for the others

7/11/2008 11:01:08 PM

how does beautiful + half-filled stadium + a five win BMFD season = tough? Their pansy blue is also the least toughest color in the ACC.

7/11/2008 11:05:14 PM

^ whoah now you're giving them too much credit. they only had a 4 win season last year.

7/11/2008 11:30:16 PM

i think we're missing the point here

Quote :

" accadmin (9 hours ago) Report Violation jsklein ... Yeah, NC State could've been higher, it's just been so blah there in recent years. They DO have some really nice facilities ... I disagree with UNC, though, that's a great venue, impressive facilities, Franklin Street is buzzing on game day ... and I tagged it as toughest, but then changed it to best overall stadium on gameday.

Nice to see non-NC State fans defending us in those comments too

[Edited on July 12, 2008 at 1:40 AM. Reason : play on the field does not reflect a tough/soft stadium]

7/12/2008 1:38:44 AM

^This woman is an idiot. The article isn't even supposed to be about facilities. I mean, she can't even fill out an accurate top 12 even when the theme of the list is her idea.

It has been down here at C-F? I didn't know. Yes, our program as a whole has not been doing well but you honestly can't tell much of a difference once you're in the stadium. It's still packed and it's still loud.

She disagrees with eveyone about Kenan because "it's a great venue"?
How does that make it intimidating? It's still as quiet as Catholic Mass unless the visiting team is making noise.

"Impressive facilities"? Ours are better and yet she said that our facilities were decent but not good enough to place us above 11th? Please...

"Franklin Street is buzzing on game day"? lolwtfbbq?! This is by far the most laughable thing she has said. Who gives a crap what the street is like? Since when do they play the game in the middle of the freakin' street? I thought this was about the stadiums not the streets around them. WTF? What an idiot!

I agree however that UNC's ranking may be a little high, but it clearly ranks above Carter Finley. Even if it isnt the toughest for anyone else, it seems pretty tough for NCSU, wouldnt ya think? P.S. Not to keep gloating, but to add to my point (UNC/NCSU related) Wouldnt ya also think that as far as CF, that no one (with the exception of Duke) is afraid to go there and face NC State?
