Subject: two quotes from today's gazette


Given the recent discussion in this group about George O'Leary, the
first one (in the context of candidates for a replacement coach) is
        George O'Leary: Impressive resume; he says he coached a couple
        Super Bowls and was an all-pro player

and the second one relates to computer ranking systems and is from an
opinion piece by John Branch
        Numbers, we are told, never lie, unless they come from a Bowl
        Championship Series computer.
