That's not technically eliminating an outlier, though. It's better defining your data set. If you stick with the data set of "5* recruits who did not get drafted," then you must include Rolle in your data. But that would also be an almost worthless statistic because you are allowing for a multitude of variables to affect the binary outcome of drafted/undrafted.
I think we can all agree that coffee has its place, and that place is in making stouts and porters better.
Why the hell was Lane rocking on the evening of June 11?
It took me a second to remember that he's the guy whose wife runs races that somehow affect our performance on the field, and I thought you were just randomly asking about another poster's wife's gams.

# | 2016 QB Joshua Jackson Commits to Hokies, "Ready to Work" with Virginia Tech OC Scot Loeffler Which is kind of huge, since he'll be joining the program only a semester after Lawson. Balances the playing field of the QB competition a little more.
Pulling out the outliers is a valid statistical approach - particularly when there is so little variance when the outliers are removed.
This just made me twitch. Every research and stat class I ever took, the mantra was "you can't eliminate the outliers." There's statistical methods to downplay the effect outliers have on an average, but you have to incorporate them into the analysis.
I'd kill to have a top 32 offense.

I see what you did there, Houshun. Well played.
Was gonna ask regular season or including bowl, but that would only affect how much money I'd put down.
Over.

# | Bitter blog - Mailbag, Part II: Playing the national champs, scheduling redux and Battle at Bristol advice Oy. Leg for the proofreader's eye. I read it as "one Tennessee alum's wife." Though I'd assume you'd abbreviate alumnus and alumna identically.

# | Bitter blog - Mailbag, Part II: Playing the national champs, scheduling redux and Battle at Bristol advice I've actually used both interchangeably. Not sure which is correct.

# | Bitter blog - Mailbag, Part II: Playing the national champs, scheduling redux and Battle at Bristol advice Which brings up a good point: when abbreviating alumnus, is the preferred form alum or alumn?
And that is how it's done, gents.
Is it just me or is it really easy to sort of forget how amazing Jayron was because he was gone so fast?

# | Bitter blog - Mailbag, Part II: Playing the national champs, scheduling redux and Battle at Bristol advice To be clear, there's nothing wrong with preferring the game on TV. You also have extenuating circumstances that factor into your preference.

# | Bitter blog - Mailbag, Part II: Playing the national champs, scheduling redux and Battle at Bristol advice That's exactly what I was thinking. Based on the way he worded his question, he strikes me as the kind of guy who would find everything Andy listed as a reason to go to the game as annoying. Some people were just meant to watch football on TV.
I believe Brewer's balls are actually used commercially to cut titanium.
Why yes, we'll accept the entire Georgia Bulldogs roster in transfer.
Landing Ellis and Kumah is my dream. But I honestly believe it can happen. Opportunity plus excellent recruiting from both coaches and players.
So, so much to love about this. Lawson is already a leader without being a jerk about it. He is already an ambassador for the school and a recruiting asset. But it has to be said...

# | Virginia Tech Football Recruiting: 2016 QB Joshua Jackson Commits to the Hokies Twitter and other VT fan sites. Mustn't forget the attempt to start a turf war.
Bradshaw has been chirping crickets due to injury this far. I don't expect to hear his name called this season.
Okay, now the important questions.
- Who is going?
- Who wants to get a tailgate together?
Not what I was thinking either.
Professing my ignorance. Noodling = hand fishing, yes?
