According to this article, Urban Meyer is down right proud of his “student athletes.” (Thanks, novascotiairish of NDN)
“Someone laid a piece of paper on my desk telling how our basketball team has a 100 percent graduation rate and our football team has an 80 percent graduation rate, number one out of 56 bowl teams. Did you guys know that? I think that’s kind of important information in today’s day in age.”
Wow. 80% is quite impressive. Only problem is, there are more than 56 bowl teams. It’s simple math, really. Just multiply the number of bowl games by the number of teams required to play in each bowl game.
I wonder which bowl teams might have been left out of their comparison pool to derive that #1 ranking.

Man, being a lifetime Irish fan and Gator fan by marriage, sounds like you folks are still ticked that the Gators ended up with Meyer and not you. Had he gone to ND and brought that National Title back to campus there, you would praising him and worshiping the ground he walks on. And how many former ND staff do we now have on staff at UF?
If memory serves me correct, he is the III and the original was a Catholic Pope. As of today, I still and always will love my Irish. As of today, UF now has 2 National FB titles, and two National Basketball Championships not to mention they have beat the OSU Buckeyes 3 straight times in the same school year. Its great to be a Gator right now. GO ND! GO IRISH GATORS!

GAB,
I’m not ticked at all.
Urban didn’t take the job at ND for a very good reason. He can’t win at ND. Even his father says so.
So why not take the easier, more lucrative route if you’re the sort that is inclined to do so?

Ummmm
Didn’t I read somewhere that the #1, #2 and #3 schools for graduating their athletes are Navy, Fredo and ND?
And didn’t all three of these play in bowl games?
Also, in this day and age, if Urban needs to resort to speaking in cliches, he should at least be able to cliche accurately.
