This Wildcat disagrees with your football loyalty, but is compelled to agree with your analysis of helmet reflections. So the only question left is why a sport where the ball is mostly carried in hand is still called "football".

I'm a Cyclone, so I'd have to say your helmet reflection analysis is suspect.

So the only question left is why a sport where the ball is mostly carried in hand is still called "football". Because sports are not named after what body part they spend the most time touching, generally speaking. The foot plays a fairly significant role in American football, incidentally, which is just one of several major "codes" of football, many of which use the foot about as often as American football does. Examples include rugby football and australian rules football (and, yes, the popular association football from which your particular misconception arises, I assume).

Well, when I attended Kansas State the team frankly didn't have much ball-handling skill with any appendage.

Cool helmet analysis!
Will you be at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday night?

Duane is using a staged publicity photo as evidence that Shuttle pictures should have stars in them: tinyurl.com/3btxecI checked the NASA site where Straydog got this photo. spaceflight1.nasa.gov/gallery/images/shuttle/sts-101/ndxpage3.html It was placed smack in the middle of a sequence of preflight publicity photos indicating that it, too, was a preflight photo, designed to show off the new Orbiter glass cockpit. What is most telling, of course, is none of the other on orbit photos shows stars - except of course, the one taken on Earth's night side showing stars and the aurora.

So Straydog maintains his perfect record for being able to spot faked photos...zero.

These two photos exhibit the same characteristics of the suns reflection off a visor as in the Apollo photos. Only thing, one shot is of the first Soviet spacewalk and the other outside the ISS: oh, one more (off the helmet): Note that they aren't neat circles with nice looking spokes either like Jack White goes on about.

I wonder what the guy in the bottom picture is doing today? Everyone knows that you'd be blinded if you lifted your visor in space. I hope he has found some way to be productive in his new life.

I'm afraid I won't be one of the lucky ones at Arrowhead. I'll have to enjoy it at home in my easy chair while still being amazed at the wonder of HD.

You PANs really do love to jump to phony conclusions, don't you. Clearly the helmet analysis proves that College Football is fake.
Sheesh!

Clearly the helmet analysis proves that College Football is fake. Be careful... you may be invoking the wrath of the NCAA Death Squads... Cz
