So, playing devils advocate, what's your post I'd said rewarded mediocre coach with mediocre record happens to beat said team that beat OSU 41-0? Just wondering as UCLA, to me is definitely not a lock to win that game. Injuries or not, I find Mora to be an average coach with all the talent he brings in. If Tommy Armstrong actually doesn't turn it over multiple times as per his habit, I think Nebraska walks away 6-7. Nebraska hates the rain, it'll be raining in the Bay Area almost guaranteed for that game. BOOK IT DAN-O We're going to be in Sunriver over Christmas. Can you tell me what the weather will be? Thanks in advance!

Given Andersen's frustration with the academic requirements at Wisconsin, is it reasonable to assume that we're going to have these eligibility sagas continue as he tries to get marginal academic achievers into OSU? Actually, the trends in APR under Andersen have shown improvements over his predecessors and at Utah State, those improvements have continued after his departure. Here's the APR trends over the past 7 years with most recent last: Utah State 931 938 946 959 967 988 985 Wisconsin 953 968 967 975 985 989 998 OSU 930 947 959 955 957 950 946

Given Andersen's frustration with the academic requirements at Wisconsin, is it reasonable to assume that we're going to have these eligibility sagas continue as he tries to get marginal academic achievers into OSU? I suspect. It seems to me I looked up Wisconsin's academic requirements and they were nearly the same as OSU's... had me somewhat concerned. Maybe Wisconsin doesn't accept any Prop (whatever, can't remember the number) kids? Wisconsin requires more core credits than OSU. Wisconsin requires 17 core credits to OSU's 15. they both require the same basic 13 credits of English, science,math and some kind of social studies, but Wisconsin requires two additional elective credits that must come from the field of foreign language, fine arts, or computer science or additional credits from English, Science or Math. Why that matters is a societal issues. with funding issues at schools in not just Oregon, but across the nation, getting those elective credits can be a challenge because there is not too much to choose from in a lot of high schools. So it is 4 years of Spanish or nothing! and if these colleges are already requiring 4 years of math, 4 of English and 3 of science, what kid wants to pile on more? particularly when 95% of D-1 schools only ask for 13, 14 or 15 total credits. For what it is worth, they require more than Nebraska, Michigan State and Ohio State as well. Beyond that, Wisconsin employs an admission's board that vets all athletic applicants to see if they are... "Wisconsin" material. The issue here is that Wisconsin by a matter of practice did not like JC transfers. They often failed at this ambiguous admission board stage, even if they seemingly had the required credits. Andersen was publicly annoyed he couldn't get some JC's that by standard should of been admitted but for whatever reason the admission board said no. As we have seen early, CGA likes JC transfers.

Thanks for that great info. Makes sense now.
