Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt. Abraham Lincoln As I pondered the post-selection thoughts by the ESPN talking heads, I couldn’t help but be reminded of the advice given by our 16th president. Ole Digger seems to have taken this advice to heart, while […]
Pre-ACCT Bubble Watch
This has to be one of the most boring bubble watches that I have ever put together because the groups seem so obvious: UNC WF, Duke, FSU, and Clemson are absolute locks for the NCAAT. I haven’t done a great deal of analysis on tournament seeding, but my gut says that UNC is the only […]
Bubble Review
I always enjoy looking at the ACC just before the ACCT starts and discuss who needs to do what to get an at-large bid to the NCAAT. As a precursor to that discussion, this looks like a good time to summarize what we have learned over the past several years about moving off of the […]
ACC Breakdown
Ken Pomeroy is no longer calculating the RPI for Division I basketball teams. He said that he was tired of answering questions about the RPI and that it provided virtually no useful data for the types of “more sophisticated work†that he was doing. This is especially sad for me, because I have used kenpom.com […]
Duke Game Thread
Please post comments here. SFN in the middle of the game — I just want to go on record that Les Jones is officiating this game. Just want to go on record. More later. SFN with 9 minutes in the game – why in holy hell is Javi Gonzalez in the friggin game!?!?!
Clemson Game Thread
Post any comments here. I’ve copied and pasted a few comments from the OTR thread. Key Halftime Stats Pts off Turnovers: Clemson – 10 State – 2 Shooting Percentage: Clemson – 40% State – 21%
No Vaseline Baby
I’m too old to gloat over a football game, but this is just too good to miss. You need to listen to The Weekend in Sounds and Ruth in Holly Springs on 850thebuzz. (Warning: language may offend some.) I have some family members (wife’s side) that might be getting this in their Christmas card: despair.jpg
UNC – By the Numbers
Let’s look at some objective evidence to see if we can figure out why Vegas has the Heels as a 12.5 point favorite. Here are a few tables summarizing the national rankings to see how the two offenses match up against the two defenses: I first started looking at the relevant stats when one of […]
College Football 11-8-2008
Let’s keep BJD’s entry focused on the State/Duke game and put discussion of other games here. For some strange reason, the GT/UNC game isn’t being shown in Central VA today. I have no idea what’s up with Raycom. Is anyone outside of NC/GA getting the Raycom game or are the Roanoke channels screwing me again? […]
FSU Game Thread
I didn’t check with anyone on game threads vs chat room for the games. So I’ll start a game thread and we’ll see what format everyone likes best. General Reminder We had a troll wander in during the South Florida game. If that should ever happen again, just ignore him and we’ll clean up the […]
