Sharapova at the US Open, that rookie who pitched a no-hitter for the Red Socks... and that which shall not be named in Ann Arbor. I wholeheartedly second Sonagi's sentiment in #4.

The name change implies that the only difference between a 1-A and a 1-AA school is that they are part of a different championship system. Of course, the difference between a 85 scholarship program and a 63 scholarship program can be huge so I will just stick with 1-AA.

Sun, 02 Sep 2007 22:23:22 +0000 http://www.rjkoehler.com/2007/09/02/asu/#comment-104781 That is indeed an interesting enough story to merit a special mention, even though I'm not enough of a college football fan to have known about it earlier. "...Appalachian State's win does seem to trump the game second-tier [football] programs [ie Division IAA schools] used to regard as their crowning achievement -- The Citadel's season-opening win in 1992 over Arkansas that led to the firing of Razorbacks coach Jack Crowe after the game..." BTW, you might not know (I didn't) that it's no longer officially "Division I-A and I-AA"; they changed the official nomenclature to "Division I Football 'Bowl' Subdivision" and "Division I Football 'Championship' Subdivision". At least, if I'm reading the link correctly: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_I Another (admittedly trivial) example to add to the category of "fixings things that ain't broke". Like sending "drive-by" bands of Christian missionaries to 99% Moslim countries where a death sentence is normal for apostates to Islam.

Amazing game, I must say. Cal vs. UT was a great game today too. My throat is so sore from all the screaming I did today! Congratulations.
