This felt like the closest I'll ever experience to Harmon's standing ovation at Ohio Stadium.

The police officers and security personnel who stood by and didn't intervene could stand to be reprimanded, though I doubt that's what Izzo is referring to.

My friends and I call this a "Manny Harris shot"

He's had a pretty…

He's had a pretty disappointing season and a quarter since he was drafted.  He produced a lot of points in his draft year playing in a prep school league, but has struggled to score since then.  He originally committed to Miami (NTM) when he was still playing in that league.  I don't know if this is a case of Miami getting cold feet or Kienan changing his mind.

If he doesn't find his scoring touch again, he projects as a 4th-liner and maybe even one of the guys who rotates in and out of the lineup.

Back in the day, Michigan…

Back in the day, Michigan had Bryant Nowicki, who was a 6'9" tackle

The second leading scorer…

The second leading scorer for Germany was one-time Michigan basketball commit Robin Benzing.

Nitpick: the goal graphs…

Nitpick: the goal graphs look like Poisson distributions, rather than Normal distributions.  A Normal distribution has probability assigned to the whole number line (including negative numbers, which aren't possible).  A Poisson distribution is used to model the number of random events that occur in a fixed time period, and like a hockey game, can't have a negative number of events.

I think Hoke has changed the tide on the rivalry. Hell people in Ohio are starting to believe him. Never in a million years I would have thought that. Selling Michigan jerseys is a good start.

They keep calling the people

They keep calling the people in charge on analyzing the data "sports scientists".  I can only imagine that the coaches regularly get reports like

"Jabrill Peppers can run 40 yards in 4.4 seconds.  That's faster than a gazelle running from a lion"

"Ondre Pipkins can bull rush with a force of 800 pounds.  That's as much force as a bullet impacting a kevlar vest"

I think it's quite unlikely that Eichel ever makes it to BU.  Almost every scouting report I've heard expects him to jump straight to the NHL.

Actually...

We lost our best player (a preseason All American) for the whole season and nobody here is making excuses.

Exactly!
What they would

Exactly!

What they would really need to measure is how often the offense got to the line and set in under 10 seconds, because once they're set, they don't need to snap the ball.  It the threat of snapping the ball that keeps the defense from subsituting.

I'm not sure why a school

I'm not sure why a school like Alabama would ever provide documentation that they "ran off" a player from their team.  Wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting that they're oversigning?

Let's consult the heuristics:

  • Position switch starter = Bad

Yeah, but Akron also sucks.  They got blown out by UCF and almost lost to James Madison.

Can we throw back to the days when teams wore the same jersey the whole season?

For PhD students (who don't

For PhD students (who don't take classes) at least, tuition is little more than a made-up number.  If the department makes up a huge number like $50K and claims that it costs that much for a student to sit around and do independent research, then the department gets a bigger slice of the research-money pie.

So $50K is not a real expense.

That's a different system.

That's a different system.  Central scouting uses the A, B, and C grades, which generally mean something like this:

 

A= potential 1st rounder 

B= potential 2nd or 3rd rounder 

C= potential 4th-6th rounder
