It's definitely Tim Dwight. Every kid I've ever met from Saginaw/Flint wanted to grow up to be Tim Dwight. |

The complaint isn't with the sample size. The number of games used is great, actually. The complaint is that the data shows little to no correlation. It implies that sacks and ints are completely unrelated to defense quality, and he's using the slope of the lines of best "correlation" to draw conclusions. It's kind of like plotting defense quality versus the length of my dog's most recent dook, finding out there's no relation, and then trying to draw conclusions about the "best" relation that statistics can come up with (except in the Mathlete's case, it's actually interesting that there's no relation between sacks/ints and defense). |

Not to beat a dead horse here, but the Mathlete's conclusions are completely unjustified in this situation. The correlation values presented in the first two charts are way, way below accepted statistical norms. Normally I'm a huge fan of the Mathlete's posts (heck the data here is still very interesting), and the conclusions may in fact be correct, but the data shown does not back up the claim that sacks are more important than interceptions or that the offense is not affected by either. |

I went to a bachelor party w/. whirley ball once and couldn't agree more. You can drink and drive (bumper cars), talk trash, and it's friendly for the underage contingent, too. For the uninitiated, this is whirley ball:

Maybe this is the wrong place to bring this up, but while you're working on site improvements during the long off season, is mobile support in the cards? Loading this site on my phone is painfully slow, so having access to a lighter-weight version would increase my visits here significantly. |

Small nitpick: why is iowa listed twice in the charts? EDIT: nice analysis, though. I always wondered how statistically significant KenPom predictions were. Thanks! |

Thinking of good teams with all possession receivers, the New England Patriots before Moss showed up fit that bill. Deion Branch, Troy Brown, and David Givens were never really deep threats. I don't think anyone would consider that a good corp, though. To answer your question, no, I think you need at least one deep threat to really open up a passing game. |

I love this blog :) I saw the headline, saw that it had like 25 comments in less than an hour, and immediately knew there'd be all kinds of hilarious smart-ass comments on spelling! Where else on the internet does that happen? |

BSE '02, MSE '04, PhD '07 all in computer engineering. The only person on the blog that I know I've had contact with is Brian Cook. In '00 I went to a Presidents' Day party at his house, where he dressed up like Abe Lincoln. Half way through the party someone dressed up like John Wilkes Booth ran in the front door and fake-assassinated him. Good times. |
