In other news, at least one entry in Frumpzilla’s 1st Annual NCAA Bracket contest has picked a 16 seed over a 1 seed (Vermont over Syracuse). Could this be the year?

random note..I’m listening to the band Fang Island…wow…really liking it!

I feel your pain when it comes to feeling like you may not have been rightfully cited/linked to (It’s happened to us a handful of times recently (or at least we think it has)).

Now, I’m the only one at Frumpzilla that isn’t intimately connected to NCSU athletics, and I only had a minor role in the creation of this article, but I was happy to take the time to review the links you posted. Good stuff. Enjoyed it (seriously).

However, having said that, I don’t really see it…unless we’ve wronged the NCSU Sports Information department somehow by not crediting them as well, or something. Is this piece even that stat heavy? The stuff Frump cites just seems like some quite general references to situations any hard core State athletics fan would have been aware of. Aware solely due to Statefans? Possibly (I guess), but, for example, would the author have had to come across your article to know that the last major championship won by NCSU was in 1992?

Either way, not trying to be difficult, and I’m not sure if your comment was actually even an accusation, or whatever, but I just wanted to clear the air. As always, we appreciate you guys linking to us, and our comments are “Do Follow” so, if you don’t get some hits, hopefully you’ll at least get some Google juice. Thanks again, and Go Pack (unless you’re playing Georgia)!

Many of these statistics and numbers like the stat about the lack of major championships since 1992 originated from work we’ve done. That one came from this entry in October that includes quite a few more damning stats:

Certainly don’t ignore this one as it will give you much of the raw data that you would like:

In this context, however, I had some semblance of “incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs” in mind. Namely, that one might not expect a man “natrually” capable of maintaining a 3 week erection to be reduced to taking Erectile Dysfunction pills in the same span. Not to mention the same present in the notion of an operation to “save” a penis, only to leave it impotent.

I really wonder who the pioneers of the 2-man luge are and how long they had to convince people it was a real alternative to the 1-man.
