Preview of an article about Terry Allen headlined "Coach imagines life after ISU"

First sentence: ISU assistant coach Terry Allen knows when he steps off the field Saturday after Iowa State's Houston Bowl game, he'll never be a Division I coach again.

All together now, what's wrong with that sentence?

What a way to leave D 1 to huh nothing like a bowl beating

yeah, a knowledgable copy editor would at least say, "umm, isn't southwest missouri...i mean missouri state....a division 1 team, just 1-aa???" or at least i hope they would say that before final edit....

Regardless of the D1 vs. 1AA thing, that was a pretty silly comment for the Register to make anyway.

While Allen will almost surely never be a head coach of a BCS conference team again, if he has a lot of success at Missouri State he could reasonably end up in a coordinator role or the head coach of a lower tier D1A school.

The guy is only like 48 years old, right?

A mere competent copy editor would have known I-A or I-AA... subclassification and no arabic numbers...

so do Super Bowls ALWAYS have to be referred to using roman numerals too?
