A Look in College Football's Rear View Mirror - The Worst of 2006

A Trip Down Football's Memory Lane

Before kicking off another season, let us take one last look at the season past to remember the good times. And to put the bad ones to a dignified end. Lessons of the past may be beneficial in preventing failures in the future. Unfortunately, many of the schools that appeared in the 2006 FirstWorst Futility rankings seem destined to stay there.

Memory Lane

 

There are some perennial powerhouses that live among the FirstWorst. The Bleu Devils of Duke know this place well. Although Army and Navy have a fabulous report turning out population who can blow things up and take things from other people, Army can rarely conduct to furnish more than a 3-and-out on the gridiron. Possibly this is because their graduates are unbelievable to achieve things and so the best high school recruits go elsewhere. The Army Mules are still trying to convince each other that a victory over Kent State counts as a win.

A Look in College Football's Rear View Mirror - The Worst of 2006

Losers deserve respect. Without them, Nebraska's Cornhucksters would have no schedule. Eastern, Western, Southern, Central, Lower and Upper Michigans would have no way to fund their sports programs. Troy State (who?) financed a good chunk of its athletic budget by sending eleven poor sods to Lincoln in September to bend over for a 56-0 pasting by the Big Red. Nebraska charged admission for this. Big Red fans as a matter of fact paid.

Being cannon fodder by playing against a top school has its rewards, although winning isn't ordinarily among them. The Sage acknowledges that although Montana State's Bobcats whipped up on the Colorado B'lows in their season opener in Boulder, most underdog schools grit their teeth, take the beating and the paycheck. The underdog players and coaches, though, need to query their self respect. Still, the Sage bets that Montana State had fewer players arrested in the offseason than did Cu - unless you can get arrested for shooting rabbits in Bozeman.

Losers deserve respect because they may not always be among the best of the worst. The Sage will miss Rutgers. The Knights destroyed years of school tradition last year by sinking to a dismal 11-2 record. The campus still hasn't recovered. The monkey wrench the Knights threw into predictions at the start of last year has prognosticators twirling their Cross pens wondering how they got it so wrong. And now sportswriters from Ca have to learn to spell 'Piscataway.' By building a legitimate program, Rutgers has failed fans nationwide and has relegated their schedule to respectability. A worse fate the Sage cannot imagine.

Losers have their place in this world. They equilibrium everything. The Sage loves seeing tidbits of wisdom and irony in losing football. To these small bits of fun, this column is officially dedicated.

Presented here are the former picks for the ten worst of College Football. Before proceeding, the Sage points out that this list: · Is devoid of any scientific process · Focuses on but is not tiny to Bcs teams · Is industrialized thoroughly at the whim of the Sage of College Football · May consist of inappropriate references for underaged readers · May wish literate adults to elaborate the finer points to children or population who paid to see Troy State play Nebraska · Might not have anything to do with an actual football game

Number One - The Poor Blew Devils of Duke

This one is a no-brainer. Basketball schools shouldn't effort football; dunking the ball over the goal posts doesn't score any points. Besides, that ball bounces funny. The Bds rose to lofty status of number one on the FirstWorst list by virtue of it's sparkling 0-12 report last season. Capped by a season finale loss to rival powerhouse North Carolina, the Bleu Devils stole defeat from the jaws of defeat by arrival back to have an extra point blocked late in the fourth quarter to seal the one-point loss. This solid report and the strong end sets up the Duke coach - whomever loses and gets the job. - for another fabulous recruiting season.

Included in the head coach job report is: "Study, evaluate and recommend innovations in football strategy and equipment. Required Qualifications at this Level: Education/Training N/A"

At least the University is realistic. The Sage wonders if it is possible to furnish a winner by designing new pants. In any event, the University capped it's celebration of the exquisite season by adding new stadium parking for over 500 cars. The occupants of said vehicles can anticipate another spectacularly futile season.

2- Temple Owls

After coasting through their bright schedule, facing down and losing to teams such as Buffalo (not the Bills) in which neither team scored a touchdown, the Owls fought hard to close the season with a five game losing streak, including losses to Toledo and Akron. The pitiful Owls also had to play Ohio State and survived by losing 35 -7. That seven points were scored in Temple's favor was cause for celebration. Pennsylvania produces hundreds of star high school recruits each year. Unfortunately for Temple, they all choose other schools.

3-Illinois

The forces that be in Chambana recently declared a second "St. Patrick's Day." When Spring Break coincided with alcohol's holy day, the local bars let out a howl that they were losing firm with students soaking up suds in Florida. So to prop up local barkeeps, the university introduced a second St. Patrick's Day celebration. It is this kind of visionary leadership that has earned Illinois third place in the FirstWorst rankings. The (D)Ui leadership also showed foresight and force in retiring Chief Illiniwek this off season. The whimpering Illini then had an extra reason, as well as an extra day to drown their sorrows in green beer consumed from Gatorade cups. The orange and blue finished the 2006 season with wins against Eastern Illinois (yes there is such a place and they do play football), and were dealt an upset by winning at Michigan State. If the Illini can win at home this year against a Big Ten school, the University has promised to enounce a third St. Patrick's Day.

4-Army

It pains the Sage to enounce Army a member of the FirstWorst club. The only "Shock and Awe" delivered by the Mules in 06 was that population kept arrival to see them. The Black 'Nights' of Army just can't furnish a win against a ability team. Beating Vmi, Kent State and Baylor doesn't qualify as a stellar season. The Sage wishes Army the best this year, but the brass at West Point may have to call in close air preserve to complete a pass. We'll see if Air Force can help out.

5-Boise State

The Sage can hear it now.. 'How can a big time win in the Fiesta against Ou on New Years Day qualify a school for among the worst in College Football? The uncomplicated infer is the hideous blue football field they play on. Just because it is possible to originate blue grass doesn't mean that it should be done. A ability team deserves to play in something other than the Tidy Bowl. A blue football field doesn't exist in nature for a reason. The Sage doesn't know what that infer is, but is sure it is a good one. Bs alums must be smoking something separate in their pipes before home games to make the thing look real. Bsu showed that it doesn't need a blue field for any competitive advantage and can win in a big-time game. Lose the blue field!

6-Oregon

A team called the Fighting Ducks should find it's way onto the FirstWorst list. But that isn't the infer for the Ducks inclusion this year. Oregon puts a good team on it's two-toned field, but each year, it displays an unbelievable lack of taste in putting its team in - properly graphic wording eludes the Sage - those God-awful yellow uniforms with tire tracks on the shoulders. The Ducks look like feature pens against green felt. The Psych department Tas must have come up with some kind of experiment to see if a football team so awfully clad, can originate a competitive advantage. The Sage thinks that a state where the other University is called the Beavers, would insist on putting a team on the field that could look as good as it's record. Frequently, the Ducks appear seeing like cheap office supplies.

7-North Carolina

The aforementioned Bleu Devils of Duke nearly caused the Heels to re-think appearing in those baby blue uniforms last year. Nc couldn't pull off the loss in it's season ending game against the Duke, but made it close sufficient to earn a place in the FirstWorst list. Blocking an extra point in the end minutes against the Dukers blew the Heels' opening at a top five finish. Possibly Duke and Nc should play football on the basketball court. How can two southern schools have such poor football programs?

8-Colorado

The Buffalos of Colorado started last season strong at home with a solid loss to the department Ii Bobcats of Montana State. Then the B'low's season went quickly downhill. Cu was in contention for a top tier end and had a real shot at number one in the FirstWorst rankings before falling from form and failing to lose to consulation foes Texas Tech and Iowa State. Old Boise State coach Dan Hawkins is going to dye the Folsom Field grass pink in 2007 to go with the red noses of those in the Cu pupil section.

8-Stanford

The Stanford 'Cardinal' nickname was declared after school admin-types threw out the "Indians" moniker in 1972. At least "Indians" was plural and implied that there would be more than one man on the football field clad in red. (Yes, the Sage acknowledges that "Cardinal" is technically plural, but without an 's,' the ghosts of college football tradition have abandoned the kids from Stanford and cast their curse upon the red eggheads.)

Although producing some good teams in the past, Stanford is a perennial favorite in the losers bracket. The school is still best known for sending its band onto the field to stop a Cal kickoff return in '82. Even that failed and Stanford went on to report history's greatest final-play loss. The 2006 season produced a single win against Pac-10 foe Washington. Stanford has always had trouble seeing population who can pass for first downs as well as pass the entry exam. The plan for 07 is to multi task the tuba players into playing offensive line between tunes.

9, 10 and more-The Western Pathetic Conference

If losers all play each other in the same conference, some will come out winners. The boys that play home games in the toilet bowl in Boise turned in a respectable season. The rest of the consulation is victorious at losing. Four Wac teams combined for a whopping total of seven consulation wins in 2006. The Sage can only imagine the Wac Skywriters Tour in July, starting in Hawaii, followed by visits to organery spots such as Boise, Louisiana Tech, Fresno and Las Cruces, Nm. Hawaii, despite it's winning report deserves honorable mention.. Any team named the Rainbow Warriors qualifies. imagine being assigned to cover the New Mexico State - Idaho game. The Sage shudders.

The Sage wishes these schools the best of fortune in 2007. Check http://firstworst.com weekly for wit and wisdom from the Scholarly Sage as well as updates to the FirstWorst College Football Futility Rankings.

Paintball: The History

Paintball: The History

 

The origins of paintball guns go back to the 1970s when farmers and ranchers were finding for a way to mark trees and cattle from a distance. A firm at that time produced the first familiar pistol. Its use grew from practical to recreational about a decade later.

Paintball

 


In 1981, the first game was played in New Hampshire. The idea came from three men, Hayes Noel, Charles Gaines and Bob Gurnsey. The game was played with 12 citizen on a wooded 80-acre cross country ski area. The winner of game was Ritchie White, a New Hampshire forester. He ended up capturing all of the flags without releasing a particular shot.

Iowa State University Gear

After this first game, three of the participants, who were also writers, wrote articles for any magazines, along with "Sports Illustrated," "Time" and "Sports Afield." Each of the articles talked about the excitement and adrenaline rush of the hunt. These articles were met with letters from many readers across the country wanting to know more about how they could start their own games.

Paintball: The History

In 1982, Caleb Strong opened the first outdoor paintball playing field in Rochester, New York. In 1983, the first national paintball championship was held in Grantham, New Hampshire. It featured a cash prize. Although it was called a national championship, it ended up being international, with two of the eight teams being Canadian. Later that year, many outdoor fields would open in Toronto, Canada.

Strong again made history in 1984, when he opened the first indoor paintball playing field in Buffalo, New York. In this year, paintball also caught on in Australia and was called "Skirmish Games. It was then introduced in England by the name of "The greatest Challenge." It did not catch on in other European countries until 1991.

In 1986, the Us military Academy formed the first college paintballing club. In 1994, the first Intercollegiate Tournament was held in LaPorte, Indiana. In 2001, Iowa State University became the first university to fund and manufacture a permanent on-campus paintballing field.

The National pro Paintball League (Nppl) was started in 1992. This year also saw the first Nppl Pro-Am Tournament Series in any major Us and Canadian cities along with New York, Boston and Reno. By 1998 the International Paintball Players relationship was formed, which was dedicated to the growth, security and schooling of the sport.

Paintball now ranks third in the world in popularity for greatest sports. It is played in more than 60 countries. The sport that has come a long way since its humble beginning as a paint gun used for marking trees.

developed Computers

A spectacular rise in computer speed, portability, and versatility has led to the foremost use of these machines in contemporary society and technology. Scientific advances and the development of new technology, such as computers based on light, Dna, or portion mechanics, will allow computers to fill even more roles. Computers whose behavior is practically or entirely indistinguishable from humans may be advanced some time in the future.

 

developed Computers

 


Another application for the increased power of computers involves a different kind of goal - replicating or imitating a person's environment rather than his or her thinking processes.

Iowa State University Gear

Human senses such as sight, hearing, and touch are the sensory "inputs" by which the brain creates human experience. The world has a three-dimensional look and feel. Pictures, graphics, video, and other forms of entertainment or communication are poor mimics of these involved sensations because they do not gift enough information. Computer monitors display flat images, for instance; they are only capable of suggesting through assorted illusions and perspectives the wealth of facts added by the perception of depth. But advanced computers may be able to concentrate much more facts in their representations - enough facts to generate a "virtual reality."

developed Computers

Simulations of reality are staples of science fiction, such as in the 1999 film The Matrix and its sequels, in which provocative machines have subdued and exploited the human citizen by stimulating people's brains and creating an synthetic world. More positively achievable simulations involve the presentation of an array of facts to the user's senses. Special goggles or headgear gift three-dimensional images, and Special gloves stimulate tactile (touch) senses of the user's hand. What the user sees and feels mimics the real world, yet it is a computer simulation - a virtual reality.

Replicating rich sensory caress requires a lot of computational power. Even more power is needed if the users are allowed to interact with the virtual environment as they would with the real one. Movement of the head, for instance, changes optical perspective. If a virtual reality user moves his or her head, the images presented by the computer should turn accordingly. Quick responses to these changes need extremely fast computers, otherwise there is a lag between the time the user moves and the updated image. Such lags ruin the "reality" of the simulation. (And the lags can make the user quite dizzy.)

Other simulations exertion to generate a "world" for a amount of observers at the same time. At Iowa State University in Ames, researchers have built a 1,000-cubic-foot (28-m3) room - 10 feet (3.05 m) to a side - in which detailed images and sound generate a rich sensory caress for its occupants. The room equipment was upgraded in 2007, and consists of 96 computer processors that operate 24 digital projectors and an eight- channel surround sound system. The simulator, known as C6, has six screens - one for each of the four walls, one for the floor, and one for the ceiling - to envelope the viewers. Being inside C6 is much closer to reality than watching a small screen.

The inherent uses of these simulations go beyond a amazing caress such as flying a fast jet or walking on the Moon. Recreating situations or objects in rich information allows inspectors to scrutinize structures for damage, young pilots to train in realistic flight situations, and many other applications. Technology, such as flight simulation, is enhancing with the use of virtual reality.

But the need for computer speed continues to be a limiting factor. As computers get faster, their role in society will keep expanding. There would seem to be few if any limits to how far this frontier of computer science can go.

Pistol Pete Act Will Never Be Repeated

Pistol Pete Act Will Never Be Repeated

 

Every era has a small group of players that take the country by storm. Their style, skill, or passion for championships mark these special players. Pete Maravich was one of those rare players that combined the uncanny ability to score from anywhere on the floor night in and night out! There will never be someone else Pistol Pete!

 

Act Will Never Be Repeated

 

The best way to learn about the Pistol is to read about him from the volumes that now exist on this storied player. The newest book by Mark Kriegel, Pistol, The Life of Pete Maravich, has gained rave reviews and is probably the best book on Pistol's life to date.

Iowa State University Gear

If you easily want to perceive Pete, get your hands on video that has now surfaced from his days at Louisiana State University. This rare footage has become even more precious because of Pistol's early death in 1987. You will want to have a remote operate with a good rewind highlight because many of the plays you will see will knock you off your seat.

Pistol Pete's Act Will Never Be Repeated

Not only was he a scoring machine, but his foresight allowed him to make passes no other player would dare try. Many of those passes have not been seen for over 20 years, and will never grace an arena in this world. There are many reasons for this bold statement. Pete Maravich's life was basketball. The terms 24/7 was not fashionable in his time, but would aptly review his obsession with the game. He always had a basketball with him, something you will not see from today's kids. He was relentless in his passion for basketball and his creative mind allowed him to develop passes and dribbles that cannot be imagined.

We lost The Pistol much too early, though his heritage lives on. Pete would be unhappy about the status of basketball in the Usa as the foreign countries have proven many times that the game is more leading to them than it is us. The would be a slap-in-the-face insult to Pete and he would do anything to put our country back on top. He would tell you that talent alone is not enough. Height, quickness, strength, and leaping ability is not the talk either. Victory lies in the heart of every player who plays the game.

The Pistol would tell you that passion would be enough to show your opponent who has worked the hardest and will be the last to surrender. His love for the game is unmatched. If you are looking for the next Pete Maravich to come along anytime soon you will be greatly disappointed.
