  • WEEKZERO 1St Quarter
    WEEKZERO (When Evan Easily Kindles Zeal for Educational Recreation Opportunities) College Football Beginning of 2010 Season through Beginning of 2021 Season 1st Quarter by Evan Knox <This page left blank to help any players who may be reading these questions to themselves> 1. This player’s running style is, as described by @petebeatty on twitter and quoted on Grantland, similar to a “haunted downhill shopping cart”. This player once pulverized a hospitalized child in the NCAA football video game, winning by either 56 or 63 points (depending on reports) while using his own character to run for over 200 yards and pass for almost 400 yards. This player’s final year in college was wildly inconsistent, including a 4 of 9 passing performance with 2 interceptions vs. Northern Illinois and being benched before his team lost a spot in the conference title game on a Michael Geiger field goal. This player stated that a B on a sociology test led to his most famous saying. This player’s first start was a 59-0 win over Wisconsin, which like the following two games of the season was buoyed by a 200+ yard rushing, multi-touchdown game from Ezekiel Elliott. For 10 points, name this Ohio State quarterback that “ain’t come to play SCHOOL”. Answer: Cardale Jones (+1 moral bonus point for pronouncing his name like Gus Johnson would) <Players> 2. The last FBS game at this stadium was a 13-7 win by Coastal Carolina, in which the home team’s only touchdown was thrown by the head coach’s son, Mason.

Hilton, #13 Wesley Carroll, #27 Jose Cheeseborough Walk into the FIU football of!ces and you are greeted by the sparkling gold 2010 Little Caesars Pizza Bowl Champions trophy and the 2010 Sun Belt Champion trophy. That’s the only taste of glory you’re going to get at FIU Stadium these days. Head downstairs to Alfonso Field at FIU Stadium for a Panthers off-season workout and there are no reminders of the historic 2010 FIU football season. Instead, there’s sweat. On this early, humid, sweltering summer morning, the 2010 Sun Belt Champions are mercilessly running 110-yard sprints. That’s followed by team drills run by junior and senior players. Working even harder – that’s how a team that’s just emerged into the spotlight takes it to the next level. All eyes will be on FIU this season as it looks to solidify its place at the top. The team faces a challenging non-conference schedule and knows every Sun Belt team will be looking to knock them down. The players say they are ready to defend their title starting Sept. 1 with the season and home-opening kickoff against North Texas.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.
