In 2006 Rice went 6-2 in their conference games. They were underdogs in seven of those games and covered the spread every single time as the underdog, including winning their last six conference games straight-up, upsetting their opponent all six times. I picked them up as my dynasty team in NCAA '06 for the PS2 about a week ago and I'm taking them to the top. They employ the triple-option at Rice so they are a very entertaining team to play with. NCAA '06 is probably the best version of college football for the PS2/PS3/XBOX. I recommend it over any subsequent version. Also, getting back to the subject of Rice football, within the last three seasons, the Rice Owls own a 25-15 record, and covered the spread in 24 of those games, which is good for a 63.2 ATS winning percentage. That's a pretty good return. Only seven other teams that have played 36 or more games during that time have a better ATS winning percentage than Rice does. Those teams are Oregon, Florida Atlantic, Duke, Baylor, Ole Miss, Utah State, and Kansas State. Thank you.

I don't think Alabama qualifies

More specifically, South Hadley, MA ... just over the Connecticut River from Northampton and about a mile from where my wife works.
Smith is in NoHo ... both are all-female schools and are part of the Five College system with UMass, Amherst College and Hampshire. If you're a student at any of the schools, you can take classes at any of the others.
Common theory is that the characters in Scooby Doo were based loosely on the Five Colleges.
Also, it's "Mount Holyoke to bed, Smith to wed."

Can we change the thread title to "I have no idea where these collages are"?

That's a great concept. I assume they're fairly close to each other?

Yes, it's about a 15-20 minute bus ride from downtown Amherst to either MHC or Smith. Hampshire is on the outskirts of Amherst heading toward MHC. The Pioneer Valley Transit Authority is free and runs to all of the campuses.

D ick in son? He sounds like a real creepster.You are trying way too hard to get my attention for no reason at all other than to try and live up to the first part of your last name.Happy now?You are so ####### cool.You are so much cooler than anyone else posting in this thread.I get the part about College crowds being great and the living and breathing their school is quite different then what the NFL offers. I can see your point about the random Rudy type kid having that moment in the spotlight that would otherwise never happen and now he will have his 4TD Bundy story for the rest of his life, but I guess I don't see the allure of that side being a draw for me.Maybe if I grew up in a place that was all about a college team, or went to a school that played D1 sports I would get it or understand it. I recognize the 100 year rivalries, the territorial rivalries of some of the teams, but I fail to see why anyone who is not from the school or area would much care.The chance that a kid who will never play pros or even do something special again, takes the spotlight. A chance for upsets, lots of upsets. Boston U doesn't have football but their hockey team is always one of the best. Kids in the Ivy League are playing for the competition, there are no scholarships. The games are more pure, there are mistakes and unpredictable happenings that never occur in the pros. But the thing that stands out the most is that these are BY FAR, the best atmosphere in American sports. Big college football stadiums and their crowds can be awesome, like at College Station, Texas, in the SEC or even at a place like West Virginia. College basketball arenas like George Washington pack 5000 crazy fans into a smaller arena, and dare a visiting opponent to have any chance with the fans literally on the floor. European soccer is still the best atmosphere I've ever watched a game in, but I've been to professional finals in every one of the major 4 pro sports, and the Penn State/Ohio State game I went to this year was a better crowd.OK, enlighten me. What amazing things am I missing out on by not seeing college games? I'll hang up and listen.I don't care if you care or not, I was just pointing out the completely flawed argument you presented. You don't seem to like college sports because you don't understand them.
