    Dump Adidas

    you do realize the guy who owns UnderArmour played football at Maryland, right? I agree with everything you said. Whether we technically pay for Adidas or not, both schools should be pissed at them half-assing the designs.

    Weird - why would a South Carolina Paper Report This?

    Paper is Gannett, so I'm guessing it's pretty easy for them to run the story. Still kinda odd that they would run it in SC, though.

    If you like TED talks and enjoyed Moneyball, this GQ article may be for you

    Neat application of clustering. It's amazing the kinds of things that show up when you look at data the right way.

    You would think the NCAA would quit trying to screw the SEC by trying

    is that they're asking the teams from conferences which have invested the most into college baseball and for whom having strong baseball programs actually makes sense to invest even more by playing bigger teams out of conference. We've been doing our part for years.

    2 sac bunts...2 runs. Add 2 to the left side of the Bunt-O-Meter.

    I see that your precious data from last week says 6 for 26 (now 8 for 33) when we bunt and 36 of 66 when we don't with a man on first and no outs. I don't think your data is situational enough to support an actual "analysis" of whether we should be bunting when we do. Here's why: 1) In a...

    2 sac bunts...2 runs. Add 2 to the left side of the Bunt-O-Meter.

    scenario to some made up ******** number in your head. My point is that we're successful in scoring in the inning with a bunt right at the same rate as we are getting a hit, which is exactly what you're trying to do by setting up a situation where a single hit creates a run. 8 of 32 = .250, our...

    2 sac bunts...2 runs. Add 2 to the left side of the Bunt-O-Meter.

    Obviously you're willing to die on this hill, but I have no idea how anyone looks at our offense and says we should be going for the big inning. Unreal. In these scenarios, we convert two hits and an out into a run on a team that has very little power - one guy, Frazier, slugging even .400 on...

    Well, here we go again.......It's hard to beat somebody/anybody three times in a row,

    Well, here we go again.......It's hard to beat somebody/anybody three times in a row, If fatigue and injuries for Kentucky and health for us, those might still be in effect. Seeing pitchers for the first time won't be in effect. Playing in a larger ballpark will be. Playing four days straight...

    Well, here we go again.......It's hard to beat somebody/anybody three times in a row,

    Well, here we go again.......It's hard to beat somebody/anybody three times in a row, There are too many variables going on in sports, and very few are as independent as cards/dice. With baseball, the success of the advanced statistics only comes from having years of data on every player and...
