Here's a fun little tool on mgoblogs, a UM site. You can use it to see how 3rd down conversion by distance to go varied compared to the national average for any I-A team, including our Falcons. Cool to play around with a little.

PS, regardless of how you pick your Big 10 teams, this blog is one of the best written blogs out there.

I meant to post that over here, but then I started to get confused looking at all the graphs. :lol:

It was alot of fun watching Brian go up and down like a madman during UM's football season this past year. (OMG KITTENS!!!) :lol: He really does do a good job, creating and maintaining the BlogPoll alone was an outstanding effort.

I loved the phrase Season of Infinite Pain.

Drew, just to be clear, that's the defense you're referring to. We were definitely poor on 3rd down as a D...no surpirse.
