Date Title Body
4 weeks 2 days ago There is accountability in

There is accountability in that they will now give him 2-3 more articles to double-down on these rankings before doing it all over again for the final four with even more fanfare. It's about entertainment and attention rather than knowledge. If people are talking about something because its wrong then at least they are talking about it! More wrong == MOAR TALKY. It's basically how Stephan A Smith, Skip Bayless, Mel Kiper Jr., etc not only have jobs but are championed and given their own segments and shows.

34 weeks 3 days ago Agreed -- crossing Lake

Agreed -- crossing Lake Washington for your commute means you will have a really long commute. Each town/area is pretty different, I'd recommend just finding a place near your work to rent at first and seeing which city or area gives you what you want. 

1 year 16 weeks ago "Michigan did a great job

"Michigan did a great job bottling up Samuels a month ago."

Well, except for 3rd down in the 2nd OT.

I will not be there tomorrow.

Missed opportunity to title this The Redshirt Wedding.  Shame!

1 year 49 weeks ago I'm a little light on modern

I'm a little light on modern roster rules knowledge, why are there 4 #2's?

2 years 10 weeks ago Tangential topic: If anyone

Tangential topic: If anyone is curious why Twitter would ever expand beyond 140 characters, this is the perfect example. That letter has a lot of sellable keywords and relevance data baked into it and posting screenshots of your Notes app is not searchable so it can't be used to serve up more relevant ads or follows or other recommendations.

That said. Beat Purdue!

2 years 11 weeks ago Wouldn't a caching solution

Wouldn't a caching solution would be cheaper for the (relatively short) surges in traffic that the site sees?  Switching to a full AWS cloud architecture with properly sized instances and auto scaling groups would be fairly expensive*, require more attention to maintain, and a little overkill for the normal traffic patterns and days. A caching layer or CDN may not give you up to millisecond accurate data or posts but it would allow the site to continue to server traffic without breaking the bank

* I say this with zero knowledge of the existing infrastructure, cost, or budget.

3 years 39 weeks ago The first Umich game is

The first Umich game is typically the weekend before the NFL starts so we do something in that game. Favorite one from the past was "How many total yards will Denard have?".

Tiger Woods.  If not in sheer numbers, definitely in percentage of increase*

*I have zero data backing up this claim

BUT DUKE DOES IT!

4 years 14 weeks ago I don't have data to back

I don't have data to back this up but in the MLS case every stadium has different field dimensions.  Narrow/short fields favor defense-oriented teams while wider/longer fields are more favorable to possession-oriented teams that can spread out the field.

Why is he a fan?  He didn't even go to Umich

5 years 4 weeks ago The playing to the advantage

The playing to the advantage of the rules should never trump playing the game.

I mostly agree with you but aren't the rules by definition part of the game?  Playing the game means playing to the advantage of the rules.

*6 colleges are on the list.

5 years 20 weeks ago It's OK everybody, Delany is

It's OK everybody, Delany is just sending in Bielema as a double agent to take down the SEC from the inside!

Or, something like that 

5 years 40 weeks ago I don't know why this is

I don't know why this is bugging (and ever so slightly at that) but if you go from #21 to #19 in the rankings, shouldn't your change be  -2?  I get the relationship between "up" and + but it just feels awkward and unnatural.  

Clearly this is super important and resolved immediately.

6 years 10 weeks ago "Easy" meaning that a quick

"Easy" meaning that a quick google search yielded a conversion of every pantone color to its hex value.

6 years 10 weeks ago Pantone -> Hex conversion

Well, that was easy: 

Blue 282 --> #002654

Maize 116 --> #f7b50c
