    Getting the precise phrases right for math is really hard. I feel like I never learned it in school, but I think it should be part of really basic fractions and percentages (it's also possible that I dozed off that day...)

    So, Tulsa is 50% larger than Wichita and Wichita is 33% smaller than Tulsa?
    This is why people hate math sometimes!!

      That was my first blush as a response, but decided it sounded too snarky (and I feel like I inadvertently sound like that a lot), so I just put the actual numbers up.

        Yup. For Wichita to = Tulsa, it would have to grow 52%. It's equal to 65.7% of Tulsa, thus 34% smaller.

          • Apparently, if you want to really spark a discussion in this thread, just ask a math question!

              To what degree, or percent, is the AAC greater than the MVC?

              • What does AAC + WSU equal?

                  I dunno, but there's probably a Chuck Norris joke for it.

                    I don't know about usually, but definitely not always 24 hours. I think you're right that they don't know substantially more information than we do, but I still think they're being used to lay some groundwork and they probably suspect that themselves.

                      If this discussion has taught me anything, I'd say it's 100% or 50% depending on the direction.

                        It's short leash time.

                        Anyway, good luck with finally managing to scrape the scarlet V from your chests. Life without it will be everything you're thinking it will.
                        If he got kicked off Holy Land for being passive aggressive towards CU or the BIGEAST, I like @Bearcat_Bounce: even more now.

                        At any rate, thanks for the well wishes. I know the transition was good for CU and I'm hoping it will have similar results for us--plus our obligatory NCAA tournament wins ya know... :)
