Thanks!
UCF hosts Syracuse in November, it isn't a road trip. Otherwise, another great assesment.
One other small correction... WMU goes to Buffalo this weekend.
Hmmm...I wonder if I could blame these errors on my editor? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> Nope. My error. Thanks for the corrections. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />

Arkon...new name...new attitude? <img border="0" alt="[laugh]" title="" src="graemlins/laughing.gif" />
Yeesh, I am going to have to fire my copy editor! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
One more correction.
Roethlisberger is a sophomore. This is only his second year.
Okay, okay...that's 15 yards for piling on!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="tongue.gif" />

Nice column, grammar aside. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
When did UCF play Arizona? Did we win?
Syracuse is also a home game for UCF this year, not a road game.
Dodo -
Please don't remind me of the fact that EMU went from having one of the most recognizable nicknames (HURONS) to having the most common and mundane of nicknames (EAGLES). It was all driven by a PC bent Board of Regents who would not even listen to the appeal of the Chief of the Huron Indian Tribe who felt the name was a great honor to the Huron Nation. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="mad-flaming.gif" />

What nation and what chief do you mean? Do you have a name?
Possibilities would appear to include the Wyandot Nation of Kansas, the Wyandotte Nation Oklahoma, the Wyandot Band of Anderdon and the Huron-Wendats of Wendake. But I could be wrong.
Hey RF -
If memory serves me right, it was the Wyandotte Nation Oklahoma. I'm sorry but I cannot recall the Chief's name. I was not present, but as I understand it, he actually was at EMU at the invitation of the Huron Restoration Alumni Club when the Board was convening and they actually had the Chief forceably removed. It was a sad, sad day in the history of EMU. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

Made most of the aforementioned edits except left the "Hurons" at the request of the Chief.
