People love the "Canada's official sport" question because everyone is supposed to think it's hockey, then you find out it's really lacrosse. Except that's not true -- there are actually two official sports, lacrosse (summer) and hockey (winter).

Actually I don't love anything about Canada. Especially all of the fucking B.C. turds that clog up traffic and every damned store in town. I mean, you people have Vancouver right the fuck there, yet you travel 40 miles through the border just to come to our shitty town and our shitty mall. Please leave and take your fucking "Loonies" with you.

Grossly overrated? Perhaps you do not understand the meaning of the words "grossly" and "overrated." Here's a little bit of info on the University of Michigan: The most total wins in college football history - 849 The highest all-time winning percentage (.74421) Leading the NCAA in home attendance every year but one since 1974. The longest current streak of having over 100,000 at a home game - 193 consecutive games. The longest current bowl game streak - 31. The longest current streak of non-losing seasons - 38 The current longest number of games in Div 1-A since last being shutout - 273 games through 2005 Alamo Bowl. The most televised school in college football history (356 televised games). The largest NCAA crowd to ever watch a football game: 112,118 on November 22, 2003, at Michigan Stadium. The largest delta (points for minus points against) in college football history. 42 conference football championships (most of any team in any conference) 25 undefeated seasons (more than any other Division 1-A school). Highest all-time strength of schedule (SOS) rating in college football -- per cfbdatawarehouse.com. 74 years since playing a (non WWII era) non Division-1A opponent, longest of any program in the country. 109 winning seasons -- most in college football history. 11 National Championships: (1901, 1902, 1903, 1904, 1918, 1923, 1932, 1933, 1947, 1948, 1997) One of only two schools with a winning record vs. every Division 1-A conference, including independents. "The Victors," written in 1898 by Louis Elbel, is the only fight song inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. The number one sports rivalry: Michigan vs. Ohio State, according to ESPN's "Top 10 Greatest Sports Rivalries" Overrated.... Riiiiiiiiight.

Michigan may be a decent football school, but I'll believe it when they can stop John Stocco.

#5 answer is wrong. I under the Ravens' origins was the Browns, originally from the AAFC. But then you can't include the expansion Cleveland Browns because they were the resurrection of the old Browns.
If that's the case, then the Colts count as well, since the original Baltimore Colts were the Miami Seahawks in the AAFC. They went defunct in the NFL, but a few years later got an expansion named the Baltimore Colts. Also, the 49ers started in the AAFC, so they didn't originate in either the AFC or NFL. And the Steelers have ALWAYS started in the NFL.

Your right! Was the 49ers, not the Steelers. I thought I remembered when the AFL and NFL merged that they were 3 teams short in the AFL and just moved the old AAFC teams over to even that out. But I was mistaken. The Colts not being the original team was also correct and I missed it. But the Ravens are the old, original Browns so they did orginate in the AAFC and not the expansion Browns of today. So I had that one right. |

So, this is not the old Art Modell team with the same roster as the Cleveland Browns of the year before? Technically you may be right, but they are not really an expansion team. They are a relocated team (same as Tennessee Titans/Houston Oilers) that started life in the AAFC as the Cleveland Browns. Last edited by Bubba Wheels : 01-21-2006 at 08:42 PM. |
