Several years ago Ole Miss decided to get rid of Ye Ole Plantation Owner and held a vote to pick their new mascot. Admiral Akbar won, which is why they now have a bear.

The only time I've dealt with large numbers of Badgers was at the championship game, and while no one was violent or even really rude, that inferiority complex was still there plain as day.

Hey! Screw you, this guy is adorable.

I'm too old to tweet and I'm 28. Why not ask for email?

Add in Baugh catching that pass, and you can take off the int and it would take his % from 9/21 to 12/21, not fantastic but much better.

That's the tape. Consistent good performances against the rest of our schedule and that thing will look good as new.

Yea...I was thinking more along the lines that his Heisman resume was in the shredder. It's gonna take a lot of tape to piece it back together.

Actually, Paul Bixler left after one year for Colgate. Allegedly the pressure at OSU was too much for him. He was right before Fesler.

I'll be at this one, and coupled with my trip to the Northwestern game later, I'll have seen every B1G team live.

I thought scoring defense only counted points actually scored on the defense, in which case ours would be 5.3 points/game. EDIT: Nevermind, I counted it wrong. It would be 7.67 points/game.

Well shit, that sounds cool. There's no way in hell I'm beta testing that during our game, though.

Those people wouldn't be satisfied if we had complete skeletons of each and every single "step" in the line from the first tetrapod to modern human.

And they live in Franklin County, so they're sure to be extra annoying.

No, no. Rodents are cool. Weasels (the family in which wolverines are classified) are evil and smelly.

Goetta is manna from the gods, you heathens!

It's not actually genetic change. The methylation does not change the genome, but it changes gene expression. The methylation is then replicated when meiosis occurs and that is passed on. Selection can act on the newly expressed trait, but it does not change allele frequency, which is required...

Very true, the genes have to be there to allow the cooked meat to increase brain size. But, and this is a big but: Regarding the "alive style isn't real", it is. Lamarck wasn't completely wrong. There is an area of research in evolutionary biology called epigenetics, that looks into how...

Your funeral 8D I'm combining these parts because I think they come together nicely for what I'm going to type. When thinking about adaptations, one cannot compare a human to a turtle or a whale. You have to look at our close relatives and our ancestors. We are apes. Our closest relatives are...

No species is perfectly adapted to it's environment. They just happen to be the most adapted for their particular niche at this particular time. We have significant adaptations to survive. We inherited our opposable thumbs from our distant primate ancestors, which allow us to grasp tools and...

Obviously you're being sarcastic here, but I have to point out that the phylum level of classification puts humans in the same group as fish, our phylum being chordates.
