Please!

3 weeks 22 hours ago This is quickly becoming one

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite weekly posts. Keep up the good work.

3 weeks 1 day ago Thanks!

This is exactly the kind of analysis I come here for. Thank you for putting the work into the animated schematics. Very helpful visual aid.

3 weeks 2 days ago I hope he answers your

I hope he answers your question, but in the event that he doesn't, I think a great addition to the site in terms of usability would be to ping your account when someone responds to one of your comments. I personally am pretty bad about going back to look at my previous posts to see when people have responded to my questions or statements. It'd be nice to know when I've been responded to so I don't have to check myself.

You are my most-favorite diarist. This is great.

(with apologies to LSAClassof2000, whose statistical analyses I also hold in very high esteem).

5 weeks 3 days ago Was it from Gilardi & Co. LLC?

I got something similar. Didn't open it, assuming it was phishing or something. Not sure $20 is worth the trouble for me.

You should ask where he thinks Alex Kozan will end up.

Michigan wins

10 weeks 6 days ago Honestly

For me, as an analyst, I just got sick of Google search results taking me to Bleacher Report. Once I found out about this place, and the level of thoughtful analysis Brian puts into the UFRs, and what guys like The Mathlete and LSAClassof2000 bring to the table, it was game over. Lurked for a couple months, then once I joined up I never looked back.

12 weeks 1 day ago Not a changed title

Interestingly enough.

13 weeks 6 days ago This is one of the better

This is one of the better title changings I've seen yet.

14 weeks 18 hours ago Re: removing I-AA schools from the schedule

I don't suppose this will get us out of playing App. State in 2014, since they moved up to D-I, right?

16 weeks 17 hours ago Skip Bayless

Strong proponent of transitioning from old, archaic term "football" to newer, trendier, and sexier term "handegg".

Truly, he is a visionary.

16 weeks 3 days ago Thanks, Mathlete

Always good to get a few different cuts of the data with different analytical approaches. Insightful as always.
