 Harris says backup QB Flacco will play   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Flacco, a 6-foot-6, 220-pound redshirt freshman from Audubon, N.J., became the No. 2 quarterback behind Palko last week when Luke Getsy left the team with the intent to transfer.
In the spring Blue-Gold scrimmage, Flacco produced one of the highlights with a 34-yard touchdown pass to Terrell Allen, but Harris said Flacco told him he hadn't gone through a practice like Tuesday's since he was at Audubon High School, where he passed for 5,137 yards, including 2,020 as a senior.
Flacco has a stronger arm than Palko, but one productive practice wasn't nearly enough for him to be as polished as Palko.

 EH.Net Encyclopedia: An Overview of the Great Depression
Romer (1990) provides evidence suggesting that if the stock market were thought to be a predictor of future economic activity, then the crash can rightly be viewed as a source of increased consumer uncertainty that depressed spending on consumer durables and accelerated the decline that had begun in August 1929.
Flacco and Parker (1992) confirm Romer’s findings using different data and alternative estimation techniques.
When households and business investors begin to make plans based on the economy getting worse instead of making plans based on anticipations of recovery, the depressing economic effects on consumption and investment of this switch in expectations are common knowledge in the modern macroeconomic literature.
