Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 1968145, member: 289"] Earlier today I used the "Winning Percentage Computation Form" to reply to a thread: [URL='http://football.stassen.com/records/compute-request.html']Win percentage computation form[/URL] You can have a lot of fun with it. The first SU game I ever watched was this one: [MEDIA=youtube]0pOqQ13tpa0[/MEDIA] I wasn't there at the stadium,, (I didn't see a game in person until the 1964 UCLA game). Nor had I listened to a game on the radio prior to this one. But It began my interest in SU football. I'd been following Jimmy Brown in the pros and my Dad told that we had another one like him on the current SU team. This was my chance to see him. it proved to be the last game Ernie ever played. I wondered today how many wins and losses I'd followed since then. How many times had I had that mixture or elation and satisfaction, (or relief) with a win and how many time had I dealt with the frustration and depression a loss produces. Which came out on top? I used the WPCF to compute SU's record from 1962-2015: [URL='http://football.stassen.com/cgi-bin/records/calc-wp.pl?start=1962&end=2015&rpct=30&min=5&se=on&by=Win+Pct']I-A Winning Percentage 1962-2015[/URL] (We're #53) ...and then added in the Liberty Bowl win and the 4-7 record this year. The total: 331-295-6 = .529 So being an SU football fan has, overall, been a positive experience for me. I expect that Dino Babers will get us back on the winning track before it evens up. (Even if he doesn't, I'll be a hopeful fan as long as I live anyway: it's a habit I can't break). You might want to use that site to compute your own winning percentage since you became a fan and post the results in this this thread. Then tell us if it's all been worth it to you, as it has been for me. [/QUOTE]
