    怀念

    似乎要到秋天了,晚上风很大,据闻未来这周气温会降至50多度,经过一个星期的调整,第二轮中段考即将来临。。。

     

    来美国两个多月了,估计新鲜感已经没有了,取而代之的是对前途的考虑和担忧,还有对中国很多事物的想念。比如说家里的父母和亲戚,许许多多的朋友,许许多多的地方,很多事情重新在脑海里回放。对于一个在外的游子,回忆显得是那么的有意义,几乎每次回忆都令我感动不已。

     

    当然,我一直没有放弃我的梦想,我所追求的东西,虽然还很远,但我知道我正在一步一步地向它迈进。我渐渐发现自己是一个理想主义者,只要还活着,饿不死,我不会纯粹为了金钱而放弃理想。有朋友会说,有了钱,想做什么都行。我不否认,但是对于我而言,出发点不同了,意义也不同了,兴趣也会锐减。

     

    对于一个还年轻的我来说,这个阶段要做的事情不少呢,主要有以下三件:

     

    第一、多看书,通过知识来增值,最重要的是开阔视野,完善价值观。

    第二、多运动,要开始健身。运动不仅能给予我健康强壮的身体,并且很能锻炼人的意志。

    第三、多打电话。保持与家人朋友的沟通,很重要!

     

    祝大家有个愉快并且丰收的秋天!

    Differences between NCAA Football Division I FBS & FCS

    Since TAMU football is a Division I-FBS level team, I would like to find out more about the division and level of NCAA Football.
     
    For every sport except for football the NCAA has three divisions. Division I, II and III. The differences between the three are the number of sports sponsored by the school as well as the number of scholarships offered for those sports. For example, division III has no scholarships.
     
    For football, the NCAA has four divisions. Division I-FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision), Division I-FCS (Football Championship Subdivision), Division II and Division III. There are two differences between FBS and FCS schools. The first difference is that FBS schools must meet minimum attendance requirements for all of their games. The second is that FBS schools can field more scholarships for football than FCS schools can. There is also a key difference between FBS and FCS play, which is the organization of the post-season. FBS schools are governed by the BCS ranking system and use the bowl format in the post-season. FCS schools enter a tournament playoff system based on regular season conference championships and a few at-large bids, in the same manner as the Division I basketball tournaments. Division I-FBS, I-FCS and II schools may all compete against each other during the regular season, though such interaction is usually limited to 1-2 games per season for most schools.
     
     
    Found some source to explain the BCS sysytem:
     
    A team's BCS ranking is based on three factors:
    • standard computer ranking
    • writers' poll
    • coaches' poll

    Each component is measured by team-by-team comparisons. For the standard ranking and writers' poll, this is based on the probability that one team is better than the other. For the coaches' poll, this is based on the fraction of coaches who placed one team ahead of the other on the ballot.

     
    Under the system, a team will have a percentage score from each of the three components. These percentages will be averaged to determine a team's BCS ranking.

    When using the AP (Associated Press) poll and coaches' poll, teams will be evaluated on the number of voting points it receives -- not the individual ranking number. The AP poll has a total of 1800 possible points, while the coaches' poll has a total of 1500.

    The computer ranking portion of the system will consist of six ranking systems. Those retained were Jeff Sagarin, Anderson & Hester, Richard Billingsley, Colley Matrix, Kenneth Massey and Dr. Peter Wolfe. The New York Times withdrew from the ranking system after last season.

    When calculating the rankings from each computer system, the highest and lowest ranking for a team will be discarded. From the remaining four rankings, points will be assigned in inverse order from 1-25, averaged out and calculated as a percentage of 100.

    For example, if a team receives 1760 AP poll points (.978), 1440 coaches' poll points (.960) and a possible computer ranking of 94 points (.940), its BCS average will be .959.

    Take care of yourself!

    One of my korean course-mate said to me, "This is not China, you have to take good care of yourself."
     
    I was shock. Yes, at the time I got injured last night, I felt somewhat desperate... The words from my korean friend is so convincing that I have to re-consider my daily behavior and remember what he said.
     
    However, I still feel warm because of you, my dear fds: Frank, Joyce, Cherry & He Ting. I'm so lucky and gonna highly appreciate Frank, who cooked and washed dishes for me!
