that was my first guess that I edited out, but he didn't help the Titans get to the Super Bowl so no pro assistantship...I know, but he took Notre Dame as a head coach. I'm changing to Hawaii. Norm Chow.
Who is No. 111? This school's director of new media graduated from the same university as a former midfielder for the San Jose Earthquakes.
The new head coach at Tulane met the criteria. We're pretty bad at this.wtf kind of a clue is that? And I got bait-and-switched on Tulane as well.
where's that "We've got a badass" pic?It's Florida Atlantic. Lynn University is the connection. 3 minutes of Googling...

I've been horrible at this despite using google. He still might be wrong. The clues are really done right.where's that "We've got a badass" pic?
My point is that clues should lead you to guessing the school, they shouldn't be something you use to confirm your choice.
I'm assuming you guessed a school, then saw if they had a new Director of New Media and checked his connection to the San Jose Earthquakes. That's not a clue in my opinion. Really the clue became what you were looking for, and the clue to what you were looking for was that this new director of New Media with an obscure connection to a San Jose Earthquake midfielder was on the 111th worst College Football team going into the 2013 season.
Sorry I didn't follow your rules.where's that "We've got a badass" pic?

I'm not saying you did it wrong. You did it the only possible way. My ire is directed at the clue writer. I just didn't feel like going through the rigamarole of guessing and checking. 3 minutes is likely quicker than it would've taken me, but we are getting to the tail end of the REALLY OBVIOUSLY bad teams...so hopefully guess and check won't be the required method for long.Sorry I didn't follow your rules.
We are nowhere near the end of the obviously bad teams, Kansas and Hawaii haven't shown up. I'm starting to think that the author gives major conference teams a preference. It ain't over until Boston College sings.I'm not saying you did it wrong. You did it the only possible way. My ire is directed at the clue writer.

I agree that this one was sketchy, but most of them have been pretty good and fun to figure out. Kansas.Myerberg went full retard with that clue.
Never go full retard.
Myerberg read this thread and is trolling us.Who is No. 110? The brother of a Pulitzer Prize-winning graduate of this university is the business editor for a major metropolitan newspaper.
