First, I alluded to the pork-barrel tendencies of validations yesterday and claimed that Republicans are no different than democrats. So, here is an article in slate from yesterday which compares the appropriations habits of this current Republican House of Representatives with the Democratically held house of the early 1990s.
Second, our good friend Brett Jerasa came through with some statistices to help bolster my claim that the current UVA football teams is one of the best UVA football teams of all times. Here are his statistics which report the ranking of the football team at the end of the season:
Year, record, rank;
1951 (8-1) 13;
1984 (8-2-2) 20;
1989 (10-3) 18;
1990 (8-4) 23;
1994 (9-3) 15;
1995 (9-4) 16;
1998 (9-3) 18;
2002 (9-5) 22;
The Wahoos are currently ranked 18th in both polls. They will certainly win their bowl game (even on blue carpet), which may move them up a slot or two.
Under any circumstances, only the 1951 team seems clearly better.
