Rick,

I'm sorry that you feel like my article was not up to your standard. I considered "small schools" as being schools that don't get the publicity of a UK, Syracuse or schools of that nature. Forgive me if you disagree.

And as for the Earnhardt Sr./ Petty debate, my reasoning was more out of preference, not who was the better driver. Both were dominant in their time, Petty obviously more so with the statistics you gave.

If you consider me "dumb" for my last article, you are certainly right to do so. That article was more about the players, not the schools.

Either way, thank you for reading my article. I'll look to improve my rationale in what makes "small schools" small in the future.

Best,
