BTW - I guess based on FEEBLE rules, trapezoids are metric. :D

Amperes and volts are metric.

2. It matches a sidereal second pretty closely. If you're asking why cesium 133, I don't know the answer to that one. Sorry!

Actually, Doane's fifth game of the season, Nebraska-Omaha's season opener after an exhibition against Iowa State.

I already know that. I'd like to know if amperes, like seconds, are used in both the English system, and the metric system. If not, what is the English system equivalent of an ampere?

According to a HS kid I asked, it's the "pierced-ere".

OK - I promise I'll look for my meds. :p

The Imperial system has distinct units for length, volume, and weight. Anything defined in terms of those (force, velocity, acceleration, work, etc.) will have distinctive units.

E-M stuff is generally cross-system (amps, volts, joules, coulombs, ohms, farads, etc.) unless it involves weight or length (e.g. horsepower vs. watt).

And, since N-O is the home team, it's probably the first day D-II schools are allowed to have a contest.

I believe so...several other D-II schools I looked up for the heck of it have their season openers on the same day. UNO will be an interesting one, because the parking basically sucks on their campus to start with. Oh wait, maybe this will be a blessing because noone would be caught dead on a college campus at that hour! :D

very intersting what they are doing

I believe last year ESPN2 or ESPNU had a 24 hours of college basketball deal where games were being played around the clock. Perhaps this fits into that deal.
