| 14 weeks 3 days ago | I also just got into the show |
I also just got into the show having watched Season 1 on Netflix (in the U.S.). Unfortunately S2 is not available on Netflix here, or at least wasn't a couple of weeks ago. You can either pay for S2 or if you're so inclined you might find a sharing / streaming site with it available. Last night's episode was S3E1. I agree that S2 was not as good due to so much down time at the farm, but it's still a good show and watching the descent of Shane has been entertaining. I think the best actor in the show is Norman Reedus, who plays Daryl. I can't wait to see if his brother shows up some where down the road. As far as what was whispered to Rick at the CDC, it can't have been about Lori's pregnancy. My guess is that the virus was man-made and got loose from the CDC. |
| 35 weeks 10 hours ago | Win Probability |
Look at it like win probability in ball game. There are 2 options: team 1 wins or team 2 wins. So either team winning is a 50% proposition, right? In the recruiting realm it's very common to use a percentage estimate of probability, indicating either that a recruit is leaning toward a school or that there are data suggesting that he might be. Speaking of which, the 24/7 recruiting guy on XM College Sports about 30 minutes ago was asked about DOB. He offered up 55/45 in favor of Michigan, but said he wouldn't be surprised at all if Danny went to UT. But he didn't give much rationale for why he felt that way. |

Well done. Thanks for posting and I look forward to watching the series. |
| 35 weeks 3 days ago | Interesting |
Great post. Thanks for doing this. Right now Wisconsin appears to be by FAR the best team in the conference. Russell Wilson has been superb and gives them the double-threat on O they've often lacked. Now they can MANBALL you all day long with that huge line, then play-action or drop back and torch you through the air. The D looks good, if not great, as well. To my eyes, they have as good a chance as any team to be playing for the MNC. Illinois might be the second best team in the conference, though it's unclear how good the competition has been. Personally, I think they'll stumble, but time will tell. Nebraska is the other team that has been impressive. While the "black shirt" D hasn't appeared to be as good as expected, the offense has been efficient, if a bit one-sided towards running. Martinez has shown some flashes in the passing game, but, not unlike UM, they'll need to keep the running QB healthy. If they do, I think they'll show they're the true second best team in the B1G. After that, questions. Was Sparty a pretender, or were they just undone by a road game against an ND that was much better than its first 2 games indicated (turnovers)? Can Michigan continue its rebound, despite the lack of running game and over-reliance on DRob, and will the D and ST's improve quickly enough to get them above .500 in conference? Is PSU as awful as they appear to be so far? Is karma real and is Ohio unravelling? Will Iowa improve on D enough to challenge for the division? How good can NU be with Persa back? It will be fun to watch the season unfold to see how things play out. |
| 35 weeks 3 days ago | Kick Coverage |
The ST's overall are much better, but as has been stated, Kick Coverage has been pretty awful. It's amazing to me that this can be so bad. It doesn't seem like an overly complex discipline (though I'm admittedly ignorant on the subject so school me up experts if I'm wrong). Do we have a coach dedicated to this? We're losing the field position battle horribly on punts and KC. Punts should get better when Hagerup returns but KC has to be a matter of coaching, doesn't it? Surely we can find 11 athletes to stay in their lanes, run down there and make a tackle? |

Gallon has consistently made good decisions on special teams. Keep it up, young man. |
| 35 weeks 3 days ago | Going into the season I |
Going into the season I figured we would drop 1 of the non-conference games. SDSU will be a challenge, but we have a good shot of starting the B1G undefeated. And we seem to be improving, slowly but surely. If we can just come out in the spread and use the threat of #16 running to open up the passing and RB game, I think we'll win it. If we come out and try to establish the Power game we'll likely start slow again and it will be more 4Q drama. |

Except that we seem to be pretty awful at said MANBALL. |

You can just about make out the plays on his wrist band. |
| 35 weeks 3 days ago | Coach Kovacs? |
Listening to / reading his answers, combined with the "great football IQ" that we've heard of so many times (evidenced by his uncanny ability to show up in the right place on the field) I can see this kid coming back some day as a football coach. What an inspiration he is and could continue to be. |
