FACTOID OF THE WEEK THAT MAY ONLY INTEREST ME
Five of them, all involving the school with the most surprising sports result of the weekend, Coastal Carolina:
1. Coastal Carolina, competing in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision playoffs, played its first football game outside the Eastern Time Zone Saturday—and this one was really outside the Eastern Time Zone. In Missoula, Mont., 2,489 miles from the school’s campus. In the Mountain Time Zone. Against favored Montana (if for no other reason than the Grizzlies are used to frigidity and the Chanticleers had never felt anything like this). It was minus-5 at kickoff, with a 20-below-zero windchill (75 degrees colder than the kickoff windchill temperature for Coastal’s game at home last weekend).
2. Coastal Carolina, whose campus is located nine miles from Myrtle Beach, won one of the coldest games in college football history, 42-35, over the Grizzlies.
3. The reward for Coastal Carolina in the next round of the playoffs is its first game ever in the Central Time Zone. The Chanticleers travel 1,592 miles to Fargo, N.D. (where the low Saturday was minus-18) next weekend to play the 12-0 North Dakota State Bison, who are looking to win the national FCS title for the third straight year. The Bison actually roam in a climate-controlled pen, playing home games in a dome.
4. The football coach at Coastal Carolina, Joe Moglia, was the CEO of TD Ameritrade six years ago. He left Wall Street to chase his dream of being a college football coach.
5. (I am now about to write the strangest short paragraph in the history of Monday Morning Quarterback.) Coastal Carolina University has salt-water angling and Quidditch as club sports. Quidditch is a game adapted from the Harry Potter book series, played by two teams of seven players, who ride flying broomsticks and shoot at six different goals using balls called the Quaffle, the Golden Snitch and the Bludger. They do use broomsticks, but my understanding is, players run on the ground and do not actually fly. :shock: :lol:
