UD is typically around 25th in the nation in average attendance.

I don't even think he is using it as a metaphor though. He is using at as a verb that means plunder, rob, fleece, pillage, etc.

Serious question here. When I look in the dictionary, the word "rape" also has a definition that means "plunder". Such as used in the in the phrase "rape and pillage". In this context, the word "rape" as used by Knight is grammatically correct. So is it impossible to use the word "rape" today without referring…

Wow. UW alumnus in the thread. This is getting so hardcore.

It's tradition. Almost like a victory parade!

He'd have to stop ingesting steroids for breakfast to play in the NFL so his weight and strength would probably drop dramatically.

I think measuring route efficiency is pretty far down on the list for reasons they are instituting this system. Having hard data on defender range and how many outs they make compared to the average defender will be a valuable tool for determining player worth. "Route efficiency" is just one of many metrics that…

I just backed it. It's the first thing I've ever backed on Kickstarter. I lived in Japan for a couple of years back around 2000 and I became semi-fluent before returning to the U.S. Now I rarely get a chance to use Japanese and I know that I have forgotten a lot. This game looks like it might be an interesting way to…

E85 production does nothing but increase food prices, not lower it.

I didn't read the paper, but from reading this article I would assume that it is somewhere between 18 and 32%.

This is not true in this case. They would be removing port injection which is a nice remedy to carbon buildup problems on intake valves.

I just went past the Morgan factory a couple of days ago, but it was at night so we could only stop and see the showroom through the windows. Luckily, the person who took me knew a lot about the company and gave me some interesting factoids.

I'm sure the practices in Russia are different than they are here. I'm not saying what they are doing is right, but dogs are euthanized in plenty of other countries besides Russia if there aren't homes for them. Also, it is important to note that these are feral dogs and they are not strays. They did not grow up being…

I think that is counting both strays and animals that are put down because of old age and/or disease. I couldn't find a breakdown of the percentages from the humane society.

3-4 million animals are euthanized every year at animal shelters in the U.S. I'm not seeing the big difference here either.

More mobility than Peyton Manning at least.

At least Mike Adams didn't have to walk to Patterson after the game. That would have sucked.

1.7% did not vote for Maddux.

Yet surprisingly, the Deadspin voters are almost as strict as the BBWAA. The major difference is that Deadspin made it a 50% cutoff instead of 75%. Maddux wasn't unanimous on Deadspin's poll either. Biggio would have just made it with 78.1% if it were left up to Deadspin voters compared to just missing it with 74.8%…

I think renting a car and trying to teach her is a good idea. Maybe she will like it.
