surprising, I would have thought Titties! Titties! would have played a larger role. Shows what I know.

These are the results you get when you don’t include “bunda” in the list of offered survey responses.

“The pay” and “Proximity to Dog Track” explains Alabama’s recruiting success over the years.

Survey design may be at fault here.

Cocaine fueled orgies isn’t even one of the choices. This design is extremely flawed.

So I guess that graphic won’t make it to broadcast TeeVee, a la 2007 UF play choice spinner.

Also, might want to add “School was only division 1 school to make an offer*”

Free Women’s sports tickets can account for USC’s success – Must be how Leinart met his baby’s momma.

Titties Titties = Tebow’s “gf”

Dog track (and I assume Jai Alai) – bodes well for FL schools altogether. (+2 for UF so far)

The Pay — Don’t look now but with June Jones and good pay, SMU is gonna be back on top! Pony Up!

Free Puppy — Uconn had a great season, is this why? Free Huskies for everyone. In related news, VT decided to discontinue this recrooting incentive.

Flipped Coin - that explains why Duke and Baylor still have teams.

+1 for subtle Vick reference.

i refuse to believe boobs (and all that is implicated in that) only equates for 11%.

Poppycock.

by ThreenOut on Feb 4, 2008 4:26 PM EST reply actions  

35% for the dog track? I’m guessing there’s a lot of JUCO respondees in the data.

“Titties. Titties” is the deal-sealer at institutes of higher learning with Gary Barnett on the payroll. Just ask Katie Hnida (and, yes, my fiance just hit me for typing that).

Speaking of Mr. Barnett, this was some class stuff, ""Katie was not only a girl, she was terrible. OK?"

All your Title VII’s are belong to us.

Free women’s sport tickets in the form of pubic triangulation?

Coincidence, I think not.

  1. That’s only at Colorado.

Survey validity in doubt because the chart appears to be the keynote default pie-chart data.

Plus, no bunda.

I believe the recruiting guru Eazy-E – mentor to UCLA’s coach Eric Scott – cut to the chase when he pointed out that life ain’t nothin but bitches and money.

Accordingly, every recruit who didn’t answer “titties titties” or “the pay” is either lying or lying.

Charlie Weis and the Number One Recruiting Class Dept:

No wonder ND is number one or two right now in footbaw college recruiting…..Charlie has the biggest boobies of everyone out there (Mangino excluded).

Poppycock got less than 1%, making it inconsequential to the final result.

Kind of like Dennis Kucinich or Ron Paul.

mp,

Hope that eases the sting of 7-6 next year.

Only 11% for titties?

This is obviously the pie chart for Georgia Tech.

““The pay” and “Proximity to Dog Track” explains Alabama’s recruiting success over the years.”

Says Hail State…..this coming from a fan of a university that employed Jackie Sherrill not long ago.

Alas, all the money and bull balls in the world can’t get enough good kids to come to the shit hole that is Starkville, MS for a run at anything that resembles sustained success.

  1. - For the young African American male, who makes up the majority of our team at Tech, I would remind you that Atlanta is essentially “ne plus ultra” in being able to provide the sweet sweet chocolate love.

@spooky

The irony of your statement is only lost on you…

Running the sampling on just the Alabama recruits we find:

- BIG titties 22%
- ANY KIND of titties 13%
- All the cornbread you can eat 11%
- Hundred dollar handshakes 10%
- Proximity to dogtrack 10%
- Free 22’s just like D-Mac’s 10%

and the number one reason:
- Get your own Fuck Lion 24%

I thought an eff lion was part of signing day in the fine print.

Wow … a Bama/State threadjack.

And we’d all thought the Tide lowered a bit when declaring Tennessee their true, bitter rival (owing to their ability to still compete with UT).
