I don't think that your argument matches with your premise. My argument is that the lengthened season has distorted career and season records and my conclusion is that a method needs to be uses to equalize the difference in length between seasons.
My suggestion was to use average TDs per game as the yardstick You point out that my suggestion is not appropriate, but then suggest to use average carries per TD as a yardstick. I think your yardstick is just as good, and like it a bit better in this case as it shows TT in a better light than a mangy dog. I also think it's interesting that the "powers that be" that write these articles all argue to add 5 TDs for Walker's bowl games and none mention simply taking away 2 from TT for his bowl games. -Zeb On Nov 2, 2009, at 11:34 AM, Ken Kirkley wrote: > It doesn't matter how you want to look at it.
