Chinese Basketball Association team in Liaoning

Can anyone help me figure out the current name for the Chinese Basketball Association team in Liaoning? The article is at Liaoning Dinosaurs, but parts of the article suggest that the team is now known as the Jaguars. (It's a mess.) Throughout the internet, I see sources calling the team the Jaguars, the Hengye Jaguars, the Dinosaurs, and the Hunters. I can't speak or read Chinese, so I don't think I'll be able to figure things out by myself. I can't find an official website for the team anywhere. Thanks!

==I will rephrase my question: Is there a commercial website where people can purchase a personalized photo of Claire_Stansfield or Ursula Andress with a personalized message. Thank you! Neptunekh94 (talk) 05:02, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dutch prank show

There was once a viral video about a Dutch prank show where the reporter "had diarrhea," although it was just a prank. However, for some reason, despite searching hard, I could not find the name of the show. What's the name of that Dutch prank show, and does it have an article here? 112.208.78.208 (talk) 09:24, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

College Football

I want to know the total number of college football games played up to the present date, and the number of times a team has won all of the games they have played, so I cane make an avrage — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.63.93.243 (talk) 12:49, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I added a title.

Do you mean the total number played ever, or just this season? Rojomoke (talk) 13:08, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find the historical stats, but if you look through the NCAA website, you'll find the current single season stats for all 636 college teams they administer. It will take time to go through it all, I warn you; 636 is a lot of teams. Mingmingla (talk) 18:06, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And how far do want to go back? The first official season of College Football was in 1869. Zzyzx11 (talk) 23:29, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To date, no team has won every game they have ever played. We do have an article titled List of undefeated NCAA Division I football teams, for teams which have won every game they played in one season, which is pretty close to complete for Division I (both FCS (IAA) and FBS (IA)), but we don't have articles on Wikipedia for the lower divisions (II and III) or the NAIA, which also administers college football aside from the NCAA. The record winning streak for FBS (Division IA) football is 47 games by the Oklahoma Sooners from 1953-57. --Jayron32 02:32, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It might be easier to go through the statistics at Sports Reference's college football page. Its tables are sortable. But it does not include anything other than Division I. → Michael J Ⓣ Ⓒ Ⓜ 04:44, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lyrics to Tindersticks - Marbles

Apologies in advance if this is an inappropriate question. The opening lyrics to the song Marbles by Tindersticks go something like: "Her haircut: she looked like <something>". It sounds a lot like "June Nader" to me but this doesn't appear to be an actual person, but something about the context of the lyrics makes me think it's a person's name. Other lyrics sites have it down as "virtually naked", or "what she made her" but I am almost certain this is not what is being said. Does anyone have any better idea from liner notes etc.? The song can be found here by the way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKRfWcRZpYM --Iae (talk) 13:52, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lyricsfire say it's "Her haircut: she looked like what she'd made her" but that doesn't make sense. Not sure about that - will keep looking. --TammyMoet (talk) 14:54, 2 December 2012 (UTC) Two other sites say it's "she looked virtually naked" which makes more sense. I don't know why you don't like the second version? It seems to go with the rest of the song. --TammyMoet (talk) 14:57, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It makes sense but to my ears the words spoken don't sound anything like "virtually naked". There's definitely a 'd' sound in the actual lyrics, at the start of the final syllable. And I can't hear a 'v' or 'k' sound. Granted, his enunciation is generally a bit strange so it's possible he's just slurred that line a bit, but I still can't seem to make it fit. --Iae (talk) 15:27, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like "she looked good, you made her" to me. "virtually naked" definitely isn't in there. --Michig (talk) 15:33, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think this answer could work. Once I started hearing it as the word "good", I heard the remainder as "she looked made up", which I think is a slightly better fit than "you made her". But both are improvements on me thinking it's a fictional person's name. Cheers. --Iae (talk) 15:45, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was just about to add: After listening to it, my best guess is "she looked virtually made up". So another ear hears something along those lines. --Bavi H (talk) 15:53, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A few sites I've found list the lyrics as "Her haircut, she looked pudgy and made-up". No matter how hard I try, I really can't hear the word "virtually" in there, but "pudgy and made-up" fits in every time to me. Putting this in with the next few lines (In that dress growing ever tighter/It was saddening he lengths she had gone to/To appear more attractiveg) it makes sense. matt (talk) 10:34, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ahhhh. I hear this every time now! Good find, thanks. --Iae (talk) 12:57, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Could be right. --Michig (talk) 17:16, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds to me like "she looked perfectly made-up." —Tamfang (talk) 07:59, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
