    Farmers' Almanac winter prediction: 'Worst of the worst' for Minnesota

    Not even 60th percentile winter https://mrcc.illinois.edu/research/awssi/indexAwssi.jsp Also a reminder that they predicted the same thing for '18 - '19: https://www.forums.gopherhole.com/boards/threads/winter-will-be-teeth-chattering-cold-have-plenty-of-snow-farmers-almanac-claims.83627/...

    If Coyle doesn’t fire Pitino...

    Gonzaga gave Few a 13 year pass in which they MADE THE TOURNAMENT EVERY YEAR. Their AD must have had the patience of Job to have put up with a guy who quintupled their number of all-time tournament appearances. I can see how that record is completely equivalent to a guy who has made the...

    That's a coach with a big extension because he was able to ACHIEVE all of those seeds. How many other active coaches have 5 years with 4 seeds or better? 10? Roy, Self, Wright, K, Boeheim, Sean Miller...

    I linked to a list of Gonzaga's PASE earlier. http://barttorvik.com/cgi-bin/ncaa.cgi?type=team&lookup=Gonzaga Your seed expectations expect that every higher seed always win every time. That's not how sports works. Instead the smart (ie, standard) way to do it is to compare to how similarly...

    A little more context on Gonzaga's 21 straight tournaments. Not only are they 1 of 4 schools to have been 20 straight times, they're 1 of only 10 to go even 5 straight times. That number becomes 9 this year as UNC (!) won't make it. There are only 20 schools that are currently riding 3 year...

    If your team is going to the NCAA tourney every year you should be going to church every week and thanking the God that you worship to be among the luckiest 2% of all college basketball fans. The second bolding is just factually wrong. In 13 seasons they exceeded seed expectations 7 times. In...

    If Coyle doesn’t fire Pitino...

    In the seasons from '02 to '14 Gonzaga went to the tournament 13 times, which is every year. ALONE that precludes saying they performed pathetically considering Gonzaga's history. But even if you somehow, ludicrously assume that it's expected that Gonzaga go to the tournament every year, in...

    They aren't predictions because we will never know the truth; they would be purely theories. He would have done well relative to the school he took over. Obviously he'd have done better at Duke or UNC than he would have at Boston College or Miami. If it was the former he'd probably have had a...

    If Coyle doesn’t fire Pitino...

    This is preposterous for several reasons. a) If winning a mid-major conference 90% of the time is subpar, then every single mid-major coach in America is subpar. At that point you need to examine the definition of the word "par." b) Few has 30 conference losses in 21 seasons. You can deride...

    I've Seen Enough

    MSU's adjusted tempo ranking by year: 2020: 97 2019: 200 2018: 238 2017: 245 2016: 247 2015: 229 2014: 190 2013: 245 2012: 189 2011: 170 So this is the first season in the last 10 that MSU has been in the top half of the country in fastest pace. They were basically the consensus pick to lead...

    4k Tv

    A couple of times we flipped back and forth from 4k to HD. Somehow we got stuck on HD and didn't notice at first because of beers and bets and food. Then my 14 year old said, "are we not on 4k anymore?" It was noticeable.

    4k Tv

    I have Xfinity and it worked great. Definitely a big difference between 4K and HD. Only problem was the 4K feed was about 40 seconds behind, which is tough in the days of text messaging and second screens
