That morning I had a really good feeling about today. That morning was a dry, and so humid you wouldn’t believe it. The sun was shining bright and the clouds were gleaming with excitement. It was Thursday. My team called it Championship Thursday because we were fighting to win a national title in Myrtle Beach. As I arrived at the field for our first game which was the first game of bracket play. Yesterday was pool play. We played 6 pool play games and won them all so that put us in the number one

In this project, many different statistics were used to try and predict the winners of the NCAA March Madness tournament. To do this, statistics were tested from the previous year to see if they moderately correlated to winning games. When a stat is moderately correlated, that means it relates to winning. Using a scatter plot, a graph that gives a visual of whether or not a stat is correlated, correlation coefficients were found for each stat. The correlation coefficient is a decimal that shows if

It is a sunny Sunday morning. That was unusual for Britain. It is the second half and the warped wolves are down by one point. This is the national Championship tournament final. Zac Hayes comes to the home (start). Zac is the snake back and he is a tall lad. He tells the whole team what we’re going to do. I am charlie and I play back centre for the warped wolves. Zac and I have been best friends since primary. Everybody loves us and we are successful in school. Now back to the final. Zac tells us

Rutgers—Trending: Down Despite winning their first conference game of the season by 23, Rutgers still remains on the down trend. While they avoided joining Boston College as the only Power-5 schools to go winless in conference play, Rutgers still had a season to forget. They enter the Big Ten tournament as the 14 seed with very little chance of winning any games in the tournament. Minnesota—Trending: Down A bad season gets worse for Minnesota as they lost by 25 points to Rutgers on Saturday. To

However, you lose your spot in the playoff to another team that was undefeated. How would this make you feel? The BCS should be replaced with a playoff system in College Football. Replacing the BCS with a playoff system would give each of the eleven conferences (and the FBS Independents) an equal opportunity to compete for the national championship. Most teams are left out of the BCS due to 1 loss, even though they might’ve had a great season. A playoff system would even up the playing field, allowing

Influence of the Roman Theater on Cicero’s Oration Pro Caelia By Cicero’s oration in defense of M. Caelius Rufus shows many substantive and stylistic borrowings from the Roman Theater, particularly the comedies of the 2nd century b.c.e. This would scarcely seem remarkable to Cicero, to employ such devices is only to make use of the tools of his trade, as a practical and practicing rhetorician. In this case using the theater as a framing device to guide his audience’s response. So too would

Cicero believed that a good orator must do three things in his speech: earn the favor of the audience, provide persuasive arguments, and move the audience with emotional appeals. In his defense of Marcus Caelius Rufus one finds an excellent example of Cicero’s work and through close examination can glean some additional information about what Cicero felt was needed in a good speech. With such scrutiny it becomes readily apparent that each of the three objectives need not be attained equally. Because

Ebeling 1 Austin Ebeling English 115 Why College Athletes Should Get Paid And Why They Shouldn’t November 18, 2014 Ebeling 2 Intro: How much harder would athletes work if they were paid for their performance on the field, track, or court? College athletes are put to the test each and everyday, they risk their health to entertain millions day in and day out.

REED ALL ABOUT IT: Driven to be a Jay hawk By Tyrel Reed with Tully Corcoran “...I've dealt with pain before. I’m willing to do it again. I don't think it affects the way I play. I get my adrenaline flowing and I’m OK. I never was the quickest guy. I've just got to be smarter out there and find ways to be effective.”- Tyrel Reed [pg. 10] This particular quote stands out to me especially because how humble and just accepting of the fact that his ankle isn't in the best shape and hes not going to

Intro: Imagine this: full time job, full time college student. Tying to juggle your job and academics at the same time, putting equal time in for each. Then, at the end of the month you didn’t get paid for the work that you were achieving in your job. This is how college athletes are feeling today. Ineffective, useless and unproductive. Many people in the college sports industry are getting paid except for the people who are accomplishing the most, the athletes. They put in the work, time, and effort
