Thank you to @collegefootballdata.com for most of the stats. @kenpom.com and @barttorvik.bsky.social as well.

Here's this year's lineup with their stats from last year. Green chip means top-10 portal recruit (with ranking listed).
A great Canadian professor named Bob Altemeyer studied the psychology of authoritarians in the 2000s. His book is free to download for Kindle/whatever here: theauthoritarians.org

HIGHLY recommend to those who want to understand what's going on/how to counter it. Good writer too.

Trying to make the shot type charts more elegant on my preview graphics. Does this make intuitive sense?

got fully in my feelings about Indiana winning the national championship, the greatest story in college football history.

If Indiana can do it, we can do it
If Indiana can do it, we can do it
It’s the greatest story in college football history. Maybe hope and belief aren't so naive.

You get the slide, get skinny.

Michigan is absolutely killing it in Vibes management this month.

I love watching replays from Bad angles trying to figure out if the ball had an atom in the cylinder so we get to see the foul they didn't call on the original shot again and again.

They're putting Connor Enright on Mara. I imagine they're spending this break on the bench letting Aday know this fact.

I like Mendoza. He's a person who takes Reach for Your Goals posters at face value.
They'll have murals of this painted around Indiana by the end of the week.

Denethor gave in to despair after doomscrolling on the palantir for years. Don't be like Denethor.

Been trying to find a way to talk about this for days, as if I could add any more context than the obvious. Same target (even the same part of the building) as 1967, same kind of person, same ideas, but instead of a KKK membership card it's faith-based maxxing.

They knock the net off its moorings.
Also [transplant voice]: People saying Philly fans light city busses on fire when they win. Well, you don’t know how Minnesotans would act if their teams ever won.

Eh, most contemporaries called them something that meant "borderlanders" or "savages" in a language that wasn't theirs, or confused them for some completely different barbarians, and it stuck because y'all wanted to be some corporate mouthful like United Federation of the People of the Frothy River.
neolithic guys get pissed if you tell them their cultures are organized by the type of pots and jewelry they made. "we called ourselves the blood hunters" "we conquered villages far beyond this horizon" sorry bud you're the western linear pottery culture now

Outshooting your opponent by 30+ is one way to break in a freshman goalie on the road.

Our traffic is still majority direct but this is a little annoying, especially because our most likely Google hit is a search that includes "mgoblog" in it.
And I would say that it's *far* more amongst the biggest publishers — this average is just being offset by the smaller SEO shops who haven't been decimated. Folks who do original content are being strip-mined.
