Polls 2017-18

I genuinely love it when Trotsky trots the numbers out with an unspoken "you're grounded!"
So much opinioneering out there, I'm hella thankful for the hard-numbers grounding. And it comes for free.

Odds don't work that way. The law of large numbers simply says it's extremely likely to happen sometime.

thats why mathematicians dont gamble because they dont understand how odds work.

I'm going to just enjoy this week.... Knowing, full well, that things could be different as soon as next week. So, pardon me while I put my "Live at Lynah" CD back on & enjoy the ride... I'll check back next week for a re-charge, thank you......

How about #1s at the start of the NCAAs?

Since the 16-team tournament began in 2003, the #1 overall seed has won the championship four times: Wisconsin in 2006 (screw you, Brian Elliott!), BU in 2009, BC in 2012, and Denver last year. That may not correspond with #1 in the polls at the start of the NCAAs, but who cares what humans think anyway.

Speaking of... isn't it about time the band did another one? We need to immortalize Knights of Cydonia before The Kids (TM) start playing Arctic Monkeys, shoe gaze or some such shit.

We can't get them to stop playing Macho Man. Why should we worry about them not playing something from their generation?

Arctic Monkeys and shoe gaze are from way before the current brats' generation. By definition, if we have heard of anything they are listening to it's the equivalent of the Osmonds.

Don't hold your breath. Apparently that's Galajda's song now. He was all smiles when the alumni band played it at Yale.

Hey, if it makes Matt feel comfortable then we play Lady of Fucking Spain at every stoppage. If he's happy, we're happy.

I'm unfamiliar with that song. Can you direct us to its lyrics?

Am I the only one who likes Macho Man MORE because everyone else is ticked off by it? (Also, I was at that SLU game so I'm allowed to do the mocking gestures.)

That video is about "Lady of Spain," with which I'm familiar. But that's not what you said. The song you named sounds more interesting.

But thanks anyway, as it's been a long time since I've watched Slap Shot. Excellent memory you have there.
