Okay, that's a good read and so, so true on many levels. Just to steal a sentence to tease others: "Fandom, fundamentally, isn’t about happiness; indeed it would be more accurate to say it is about unhappiness – specifically, the kind of communal unhappiness of people who choose to be unhappy...

Wow. That stills shows CU with a 24% chance to win out (same as UGA and better than Bama.) I haven't looked at their schedule, but it would imply that their toughest games are behind them. We still have four teams ranked above us on our remaining games...

Key is fine. We need to relax and give the process the time it needs. All this stuff is connected and we just need to focus on continual improvement across the board. The cumulative effective of incremental gains is disproportionate when applied across a system of systems. Quote from recent...

How do you think we would fare with this schedule? My thoughts on win chance: Clemson - Lose by 6 UAB - 65% USCe - 70% Vandy - 80% Arkansas - 35% Auburn - 35% Kentucky - 70% Florida - 25% Missouri - 80% Tennessee - 65% Charleston Southern (!) - 95% (but we'd probably lose, 'cause it's what we...

I also need better glasses. Thanks :)

I'm emoji-challenged (it's an official disability I think). What's the buttered toast(?) emoji next to GT supposed to mean?

Wait...didn't he keep wearing the welding helmet like we advised?

This likely isn't a popular view, but I wouldn't mind seeing Yates take a possession in the second quarter sometime to sow confusion in the Pitt D. Just as they are starting to get a 'feel' for the game flow, change it up and require them to adjust to a short-passing game instead. At least...

I think it is a bit of pick your poison when you've got Sims, Gibbs and either DS or Mason in there. It's not that the other team is going to take something away, it's if you have a second good option when they do. I think we have that now. Also, Yates.

Hey, @4shotB ...you said you wouldn't let people know that I was a member here. Now I've got to behave.

Yeah...if Pitt takes away the run game and practices it all week we could drop Yates back in to hit them with short passes much like WMU did to them.

I was laughing with SWMBO about all of the uniform debates on GTSwarm last week. But...I must say I liked the all-navy look and it really made the NC white gloves pop out when they were holding us.

Hey, I predicted we'd win by 7...It's not my fault that Howell would rather take a sack and fumble than risk throwing a pick. Gotta keep those TD/INT ratio's high to keep that draft slot high!

Well, that pretty much describes the state of "Fan". :) I say it's normal and okay and maybe even good. It means we care. If we didn't care we'd be objective and work in Vegas.

And that, I think, depends on if he wants the model to reflect current sentiment (predict what people feel is right) or be willing to be wildly variable early in the year as that is what the numbers are actually saying (but lose 'believability'...which is his main marketing 'reason to believe'.)...

Fair enough. But...there is a lot of bias in the model that considers one's initial starting position, but doesn't use the position of the team you played when you played them but after you played them. So it gets very difficult to 'move up' as it weights starting conditions except where those...

Based on what we have seen so far (and ignoring any preseason bias) this is how I'd put our straight-up win chances: Pitt: 65% @Duke: 80% UVA: 80% @VPI: 50% @UM: 70% BC: 45% @ND: 40% GA: 10% That looks like four more wins to me, five if things continue to improve or we rise to the occasion for...

OMG, that thing is useless. "Over half is based on preseason projections." Whungh? So what a bunch of people with journalism certificates think before a single snap is made makes up half your model five weeks into the year? That's patently stupid.

As I've heard it explained, CGC was distracted by something...either wanting to get in the refs faces or something happening with the players. But that could be either bad memory or fan-splaining.
