Watch out, Penn football team

093004ivy.jpg A friend forwarded this along yesterday, and we must say the Penn football team sure is going to have some trouble stopping this man's ground game:

As Brown senior running back Nick Hartigan prepares for the Ivy League season opener at Harvard, he has become an amazing candidate -- for both the Walter Payton Award and a Rhodes Scholarship.

When all is said and done in his career, if you multiple Hartigan's rushing yards by his grade-point average, the result might well be the highest number of all-time. (Obviously, this is not a statistic that anyone has -- or will -- ever produce.)

As my friend said, "I guess he plans to rush for infinity yards the rest of the season."

Quite the candidate [Ivy League Sports]

Unless things have changed since I went there in the 1920s (well, it seems like that long ago), the highest GPA you can get at Brown is 4.0 (so I was told, anyway).
So if he rush for 2,500 yard this season (unlikely), the means that 10,000 is the greatest number ever known.
Who knew!

maybe his GPA will be infinity, producing the same effect.
