For what it's worth, there's a difference between "media" and the stats people.

The stats people have accurately forecast our win total for the last three years.

 

[Skeptic]

When will people learn that the media doesn't know crap about college football? Who was picked last in their division in the MAC? NIU. Who won the MAC championship? NIU

I saw a piece recently with two guys forecasting the GT Clemson game. Both said to lay the 21.5 spread. I'll bet that neither one could tell you within 10 points the score of last year's game, or where it was played.

The media knows a little bit about the perennial powers. Otherwise, they are like weather forecasters. All they really know is what has already happened. College football changes from year to year like the weather. The media forecast is like reading yesterday's weather.

Whose toy did they break? Now that you have looked high and hard and found a failure, tell us about the right calls. They are paid to have opinions. And contrary, they are much better informed than a football message board.

If you thought that our QBs were under a heavy rush last season, you have numbers that back that up

How have the Falcons done in the draft?

For your entertainment and amusement (these kinds of numbers are going to be really blurry)

So Wake is better than us in FB, MBB, golf and baseball. Maybe we need to hire their AD. They are doing something right in Winston Salem with a lot less to work with.

I was already criticized for saying our academics and curriculum wasn't a disadvantage in recruiting or player retention so it must be something else? Wasn't that your point? Easier and more majors at Wake?

We’re in the lower-left, near Duke (their logo is easier to spot). It’s a Defensive EPA vs returning Defensive Production chart, where you want to be upper-right.
The short version is that the stats say “we either need recruits or transfers to make a big impact, or players to step up, or coaching adjustments, or a combination of all of those”

Have to go into the season hoping that the combination of things that have happened work out for us this year.

I almost feel like it's the Atlanta Braves of the mid-1970s.

Glenn Hubbard taught me how to turn a double play using the outside of the glove. I still own a Kinnet Milk Dale Murphy t-shirt. Good times.

He played with a small glove too, if I remember correctly. I remember that Braves infield turning a lot of doubles. Was it Horner, Ramirez, Hubbard, and Chambliss?

Good lord how bad was duke last year?

Good lord how bad was duke last year?

i think they must have had some locker room issues or something. by the end of the year they somehow got embarrassed worse than we did. giving up 60 to louisville and losing by 37 to miami is just crazy

Cut may have stayed a year or two too long. The job is a grind.
