[Insert your own global warming joke here]

The real problem with averaging approaches to statistics is that football is a non-homogenous game and the number of games is too small for the law of large numbers. However defensible the ranking of averages are, the relationship of the average with potential or change needed to improve...

No we didn't. Earliest mention of their song is like 20 years after the ramblin wreck. Someone needs to tell Bud Wikipedia isn't an acceptable source for academic professionals.

Interesting that of all the complaints, only one person noted that this conflicts with actual wreckfest. I get that this might have a different target demographic, but personally I think actual wreckfest needs a lot more resources directed towards improving it before we start going after...

Interesting. Seems like the sale time confirms my gut feeling that they might have underpriced the helmet. I wonder what you can do to augment the value of this sort of thing without being exploitative. Adding context, like an explanatory plaque is common in deaccessioned museum objects...

I guess Clemson, because we could use some spotlight. Ideally, we'd win the game with a touchdown that keeps going, all the way to the uGA game, breaks the tackles of both the offense and defense in that game, and wins it too. GT gets declared double secret winners.

I don't follow Southern closely. Do they use a shovel option, a shovel triple option, or something else? There's no room for a speed option, a midline/iso play, or a classic belly play. The distance created by a shotgun snap means everything moves slower, more ground needs to be run to make a...

I dunno, I feel like a return for a TD is a substantial enough risk with an onside kick that you can't call it a fluke. I mean, I don't know, but what % of onsides kicks get returned? It's gotta be noticeably higher than a kickoff, right?

Am I pissed? Sure. I mean, Richt gets the sky to open up when he needs to stop our O, and a perfect alignment of bounce to win the game? I don't think that God cares about Football, but I might be convinced somebody sold their soul to Satan here. On the other hand, 'almost' feels just fine...

I agree, and have noticed this trend over the season. It seems like it might be a vision/awareness issue with respect to the 'off' side of the field. That's probably to be expected of a new QB, right? I wonder if we teach OODA loops like the USAF does to fighter pilots to help build...

thats pretty cool. good for Syracuse.

Maybe so. Hard not to respect an underdog making a run

inane question: The gold honeycomb on white fades into an indistinct pattern at a distance because the white is dominant and gold isn't a strong enough contrast to show the lines that are like 10% of fill. Why don't we do white lines on a gold background? Has anyone tried? Is that just...

I'll just leave this here

I sympathize with the sky is falling kind of folks, sort of. I experience plenty of heart-wrenching terror that sticks around until I know the circuits I designed have passed burnout overvoltage tests, but I guess I just use it all up at work. That's human nature, right? You come up with the...

It's just math. It helps that human intuition of what is complex and obfuscated is very often extremely simple when subjected to a few basic mathematical tools. I used to try to break signals at home games with some friends when I was a student. It almost always worked, and if you bring along...

Speaking from a personnel standpoint, I think this indicates serious issues with the training and hiring program they use. The part timers at a subcontractor thing sounds off base to me. If you had undertrained, poorly motivated employees they'd tend to under-act, particularly with things that...

And cares more about being an engineer than being a football player. He's probably my favorite Jacket right now.

You mean to tell me official policy isn't "Whatever's gonna get you through exams"?

Raised Every time a penalty is called on UNC: "UNC strongly believes the play does not implicate the bylaws in the manner the refs allege" Modify an old classic: (For those swell podcast fellows complaining about cut blocking at GT) "Rah rah ree, chop em' in the knee. Rah rah rats, chop em'...
