    IoWas our main rival

    One of my best friends played for the Dallas Cowboys in the early 80's. When he realized he probably would never actually get in a game he decided to go to the Iowa Medical School. He became a top notch Urologist (which has helped tremendously with my bladder cancer), but we have had a...

    How to synch up Jeff Byers to the television streaming

    I do a synch by observing if the tv is going faster than lion vision I pause the tv for the appropriate seconds. More likely lion vision is ahead and I pause lion vision. That is the advantage of lion vision over the actual radio that you can't pause. Normally take note of start, out of...

    Roar’s Annual Big Ten Seeding Review: 2026

    You can also have an elastic variable that punishes exponentially the farther away a wrestler is from the standard. For example minimum is 15 matches. If you had 14 that wrestler would receive a small penalty, 13 substantially larger (perhaps on an exponential curve), 12 even more etc. The...

    Roar’s Annual Big Ten Seeding Review: 2026

    On the old site I did some research and the only year that having byes (and no chance to bonus) made a difference in the final team score was when Michigan beat PSU by 1.5 points in 2022. Even then a lot of weird things had to happen to get that result... 7 Michigan wrestlers did better than...

    Expected Team Points as of 02/23/26 - The "Everything Everywhere All At Once" Edition

    I think you are on the right approach with the standard deviations, but be careful as I am not sure they are constantly the same number year to year. If not it might fit into a standard line or curve (like a exponential or logarithmic curve) which you can use to predict future values. Having...

    Expected Points Update as of 2/16/26 - The "Hah, Hah. Wasn't December Funny?" Edition

    The last statement is a statisticians dream. A scenario so unlikely that it is probable the sun burns out first before it happens... but so interesting on what it can tell us. In this case it reinforces that bonus points are important and can and do make a huge difference... also it sucks to...

    B1G tournament scoring

    No, they get points for advancement but lose any opportunity for bonus points. However, as explained in previous posts, it seldom if ever makes a difference with the one exception being when Michigan beat Penn State by 1.5 points... EDIT: See below for a clarification that you have to win the...
