Good god... the guy posted a first person perspective of the shooting, and then went on a twitter rant about the people he killed.
Fuck that guy. Letting this go to trial would be too humane.
The WDBJ7 site says its a 2009 gray Ford Mustang.
I'm an Enterprise Account Manager at a software company. Last year, I bet the OSU engineering grad in the office on the Hokie/OSU game and he got to wear one of my VT shirts :D
As you'll see below, he looks thrilled:
Superlist is combining them (http://wilson.engr.wisc.edu/superlist/) into ratings that can be converted into a predicted score difference. They currently have VT at 67.833 and Purdue at -1.333. To calculate score difference you dive the difference between two teams by 2 and then give the home team 3 points. This results in a predicted margin of about 31.5, and teams projected to win by 31.5 win 98% of the time.
Basically it is combining the predicted score difference between the three sites and not the predicted odds of winning, and I am using historical data to convert that predicted score difference into odds of winning. So the third site must project us to win by 40 something. It appears to be accurate for other games (for example, we are projected as 12-point underdogs to Ohio State) so I'm not worried that their code is wrong and rather just see this as an artifact of preseason rankings not being particularly stable.
Part way through the season, as they are available, it will begin incorporating other systems as well although I think the biggest factor here is just instability and not a lack of computers.
Maybe if they want to have a package where they show it for a possession or two just to give Ohio State something to think about. I think it would be very unwise to try to run that defense again against one of the most explosive and experienced returning offenses in the country. The difference from last year was none of the players had seen it or ever prepared for it. After that game they spent half the season preparing for it because they were waiting for someone to try it again. It went very very poorly for anyone who tried it again. Bud's smarter than that and I have no doubt he'll have something new up his sleeve. But if they want to try it again? Cool with me.
Are you attending the TKP tailgate? This could create a black hole. I brew for the fun of it and am always tinkering with science of the brew. being a chemE I enjoy making changes at the elemental level and trying to manipulate the yeast and sugar breakdowns to achieve certain flavors and would love to get your tips advice on some things. The football game starting would be the only thing that would save the world.
I'm guessing the team knows which quarterback will be starting at this point.
It may be that many of us have a guess, but we won't know for sure until game day.
I feel that Bud will have a good plan regardless.
In my 12 years in public safety I have never seen anything like what the shooter did by posted that. I cant imagine what is going on.
I'd bet the reason is because VT doesn't have great win margins against lesser teams.
Either way, I took a look the other two sites as well. You're right not much info there. Are the three weighted equally? Because then 98% would be impossible with one system giving us 79%. Just a little confused on the actual numbers there.
I see the superlist has us winning by 31. That's odd with Massey having us win by 12 and the other one by 24. Very odd
that account has now been suspended thank god.. that was absolutely chilling to watch, downright sickening
I wish Washington had picked him up, but I'll watch a Steelers game if he's playing.
Shoot just posted videos on his Facebook and Twitter.
Out of respect for the victims (and to avoid giving further attention to this monster), I'll politely ask that nobody links to them.
Bruh, I'm back up. Flew Monday, and this gif pretty much sums up how that went:
Disturbing story.
Condolences to friends and family. I hope they apprehend the killer and bring him to justice without further loss of life.
That's why I stopped reading the comments sections. People take every opportunity to turn a tragedy into an idiotic flame war.
Oh my god.
The shooter just posted a video.
Could've used him here in Washington. RG3 could've used a better mentor.
You have assumed Shai and Mars are returning, but there is a reasonable amount of speculation on redshirts for one or both. Would most other models that take into account returning players make this assumption, and how would you expect things to change, statistically, if it was assumed one or both would not play? (From a math guy without much background in statistics.)
apparently now looking for silver chevy sonic 2015.????
Well, according to some OSU fans it'll be 65 to nuttin' after the first ten minutes. I guess Cardale won't be playing that much since the third and fourth stringers will be in by half time.
That sounds really cool. Thanks a ton for the heads up. I have yet to have a beer from O'Conner that I dont like, so thats a pretty strong testimonial for me
Asset Manager for Tax Liens for New York City because they contract it out to private companies. I basically do all the coordination to foreclose on people all day. And I love it, chill with a young office, talk football, and not talk to anyone but our contracted lawyers.
On a side note, PAY YOUR TAXES PEOPLE, it isn't difficult, and even showing that you are trying to pay can keep you in your house or property as opposed to losing it.
From people I know and trust in Law enforcement. Suspect/ person of interest is Vester Flangan, a former reporter at the station. State police ARE NOT in active pursuit of any vehicles. There is conflicting information about what vehicle he is driving . If you live in that area please be safe and on the lookout .
The comments after the tweet clearly point to something disappointing happening to him... Sounds like they already know.
props to Twitter for suspending it quickly.
