I already told you, you just ignore the facts. This isn't conference to conference competition. The NFL isn't a long haul playoff--it's recruiting position players. And damned if the air conference that is the PAC doesn't also happen to have lots of WRs and QBs that end up in the NFL, because the NFL needs to replace them so often. They get hurt playing real football in the NFL.

Of course, it's a cinch that the PAC would end up having more players generally recruited, too, because the NFL doesn't generally recruit players that have poor injury records, and God knows, you have to be a featherweight to get hurt playing in the PAC.

But you wait until the playoffs happen, and they're on the way even sooner now that USC is whining and Gateway is helping. Spew your irrelevant statbook all you want. It'll be settled on the field, and that will be that. After you drown in your sherry for weeks over USC (or Stanford, or whatever great-PAC-hope is anointed that year) losing by the second round, your PAC buddies will sadly lead your dear sobbing Muffy away, saying, "He'll get better, he'll quit the booze, he'll be right back to his old self, when the PAC grows a pair...come to think of it, maybe you SHOULD consider a divorce."

Translation:

"Once again, I am thoroughly embarrassed by the unearthing of even more information that continues to completely undermine the flawed position I so aggressively took regarding the Pac-10. But just like with a liberal, facts and undeniable objective information mean nothing to me. I will continue to hold my position, because it is not within my character to admit that I popped off to so many people and was so wrong with what I popped off about. And despite the fact that the Pac-10 produces more NFL players than the SEC, and has beaten the SEC in 6 of the last 7 meetings between the two conferences, I will continue to refer to the Pac-10 as a 'wuss' conference, and not nearly as strong as the SEC."

But what's great is the shock you must feel every time I send you another cyber-beating. Clearly, you had no idea at all about anything related to the Pac-10 as a football conference. Well, you know now. Isn't education a beautiful thing.
