NU "a lot closer to a turnaround than it looks" per stat geek

[Larry Hagman's Liver]

Pretty much a highly mathematical way of confirming what our eyeballs are telling us, but thought it was interesting nonetheless.

I really think the square root of yards per game raised to the inverse log of big plays given up divided by the cosine of the game day temperature is the key to our results.

Where do sellouts come into play in the formula?

I hope we can make some heads hurt on the field soon.

If you flip a coin 4 times the the odds of it landing on heads 4 consecutive times..........

This sort of stuff is important because fans are dumb. Fans look at 1-6 and see we are worse than any other team in history. Then they look at coaches and say they must be worst in history. Then they look at salaries and see that Frost makes the most in history. So dumb fans can extrapolate that we may have the wrong guy as coach. Close games are meaningless in the longer scheme of how good or bad a team is...they always even out over time. Blowouts are the better determinate of future success. We have 3 close losses and two blowout losses, and 1 blowout win...and we had an overwhelming chance to win in two of our losses. This means we SHOULD be 3-3... COULD be 4-2, SHOULDN'T be 1-6.
