  1. I don't know. We are assuming Corby is a faithful narrator, or whoever told him is a faithful narrator. A coach can say "if it doesn't work out and you enter the portal, we will still be interested" and have it interpretted differently.
  2. How much will the PSU haters hate to hear he turned down a full ride at OhSU to take 87.5% at PSU?
  3. At least it doesn't hurt much because he has no shoes on. I saw where he left them in Detroit.
  4. So who is the coach he called to personally inform that he was choosing PSU where the conversation was bad? We know it wasn't Brands (see you on the mats).
  5. Damn. I wanted the wire.
  6. Now UFC is accusing USADA of defamation and demanding a retraction: https://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/38646276/usada-stands-initial-statement-ufc-plans-legal-action Handbags
  7. It is his company. Other/minority investors have no say. They are just along for the ride.
  8. Singlets are for the puritanically modest. Try a speedo.
  9. Check out the username of who you responded to.
  10. My consulting contract is in the mail. My logo is "I may be slow, but at least I'm expensive."
  11. Oh, and you should read Born A Crime
  12. The funny thing is I often do that for a different reason. I would call them spurious digits. Since they are not measurements, but integer counts used to calculate percentages I think I am OK on significance, but not so much on spuriousness. I occasionally dig up old stuff I did, like this, where, for some reason, I did not over-ride the default formatting in Tableau (BI software I often use instead of a spreadsheet). As the woman who edits the stuff I write for work can attest, I sometimes (often?) miss inconsistencies in formatting and phrasing in my own work. Feel no conflict. We can all use good editors. And since I cannot be responsible for disturbing Mr. Valentine's eternity, I have reformatted. RIP, good man.
  13. You have also been told how stupid many of your takes are, but you do not seem to quote that. Rationalizing apartheid by implying if it wasn't for us white folks your lives would be worse than under apartheid, is the height of stupid.
  14. Nebraska has been very volatile. From the best performing relative to seed in 2022 to the worst in 2023 among top schools Ok State a little less volatile but also coming off a rough year.
  15. Wrestling, basketball, volleyball, judo, boxing, and weightlifting, especially weightlifting, on ice. Problem solved. You are all welcome. Where do I pick up my consulting fee?
  16. Great tune. Love this version of ZZ Top. Tres Hombres is one ass kickin song after another.
  17. If you are asking me if I ever tortured the numbers until they speak.....my answer is no comment.
  18. The problem comes in much higher than the 16 seed. If all you do is look at the seeds where there is at least a 1 in 3 chance of AAing (top 10) you have major problems with fragmentation at the 3 or 4 seed for all teams, and beginning at the 1 seed for any team outside of the top 6 most entrants seeded in the top 10 between 2010 and 2023. Michigan is outside of the top 6 in spite of finishing 2nd last year. Building a Michigan specific curve would be problematic. But even for PSU, how do you build a curve with only three 4 seeds in a 13 year span?
  19. Check out this post: http://johnnythompsonnum1.blogspot.com/2020/03/gone-lost-forgotten-their-best-notre.html
  20. Another way to look at the over/under performance is to recognize that from a team finish perspective the only thing that matters is finishing top 8. To that end if I reduce the set to just those who have a 1 in 3, or better, chance to AA (top 10 seeds), then seed relative performance looks like this: PSU performs right on seed whereas everyone else falls short by 1 to 4 spots on average.
  21. That translates as blah, blah, blah. Feel free to read through my prior opuses on the topic.
