    2014 FOOTBALL GUIDE WWW.GAC.EDU/ATHLETICS/FB ABOUT GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS COLLEGE For over 150 years, Gustavus Adolphus College has been educating tomorrow’s leaders to reason and act responsibly through its educational quality, accessible facilities, spiritual identity, and economic value. Quality is a word that finds its way into many colleges’ vocabularies. At Gustavus, quality is evident in its students, faculty, facilities, and programs, leading to recognition by a host of impartial critics. Forbes.com ranked Gustavus among the top 100 institutions in the country in its college report based upon several factors, including the average amount of student debt and the four-year graduation rate. The College is also included in other national guides and rankings, for example the Fiske Guide, U.S. News & World Report’s Best College Guide, and the Princeton Review, which in addition has ranked the Gustavus Dining Service among the best in the nation in each of the past two years. Gustavus students typically rank in the top third of their high school graduating class, and over 37 percent rank in the upper 10 percent of their class. Continuing their achievement at Gustavus, students find a challenging academic atmosphere where professors—98 percent of tenured faculty members have earned the highest degree in KING GUSTAV II ADOLF: THE their field—teach all classes (there are no graduate assistants) and serve as academic advisers.

  • The Afterlife the 2004 NFL Season Has Begun
    The Look Man Report 2004 Week 17: The Afterlife The 2004 NFL season has begun its inexorable push to completion. In true Highlander fashion, the cries of "There can be only One!" will soon ring out on Super Sunday. Until then large, cat quick men will matched against each other in a Machiavellian dance of the depraved that we call 'football.' If you saw Denver safety John Lynch (Mob) decleat Indy TE Dallas Clark, you know the dance of which the Look Man speaks. Lynch is now 75 grrrr lighter in the wallet, thanks to the league office, and some believe that this man's game can be played without violence. No less than Dan Dierdorf exclaimed after defensive backs drilled receivers attempting to catch deep outs in the Jets-Lambs matchup. The Look Man believes that if a receiver has the audacity to run in the zone and catch deep-ins and deep-outs, he had better be ready to pay the price. But, the Look Man digresses. Week 17 was one of the weirdest in memory, with all 32 teams playing ON THE SAME DAY. Because of the holidays, there were no Sunday or Monday Night games, and since 7 out of 12 playoff spots were irrevocably locked up, most teams could not even change their seeds in the final week of the 2004 season. The Look Man took umbrage with the League for allowing teams to sit players in the last few weeks of the season. It impacts the balance of the league in a way that is unseemly.
