What’s the most you’ve ever lost on a coin toss? For Seattle and Duquesne, an entire season; for Akron and Montana, nothing at all. On the concept of luck, and what we mean when we talk about good or bad luck for @basketunderreview.bsky.social ($) www.basketunderreview.com/how-lucky-is/

man I'd like to believe in this but considering the average college football game is still long as hell despite 37 rule changes, I'm skeptical

Can reviewing more plays by coach's challenge get basketball games back under two hours? Let's hope so.

ACC supervisor Bryan Kersey: “My opinion, officials went to the monitor too many times at the end of the game. Sometimes I think we used it as a crutch.”

Will NCAA’s new coach’s challenge help get games back under two hours?

ACC officiating supervisor Bryan Kersey hopes this season’s new rules will speed up games that have bloated by 6 minutes over five years.

It’s insanity and has a 2/13 hit rate on rewarding that year’s best driver. It’s like the NCAA Tournament but if for the Final Four the remaining four teams had to beat their previous four opponents *again* while 30 other teams are also on the court.

Will Warren @statsbywill.bsky.social · 13h

Basically, the top 16 drivers in the sport make the playoffs…though drivers below 16 can get in if they win a race. Points are reset every three races and four drivers are eliminated. Then the final race is winner take all between four guys, but with the rest of the 40-car field out there with them.

Harrison Butker's funny regression is one of the more feel good stories this season

That amazing Lions play being ruled a penalty is such garbage. Not because I’m even aware of what the rule actually is, but because it was hilarious and therefore should’ve stood.

Will Warren @statsbywill.bsky.social · 14h

Love when you see a truly absurd NASCAR crash and the first thought is "this stupid playoff system is going to give this outsized importance."

He would for the raise, but there is zero reason to go when you’re already achieving the same results at a place with 3% of the stress

Will Warren @statsbywill.bsky.social · 19h

This is the correct take. It’s good to move on but you have to understand the next guy’s probably going to be the same or worse.

Penn State is going to dream of Cignetti and whoever else but the reality is that 95% of these searches result in someone well below your dreams, even if they’re well-run. It’s way more likely Ryan Silverfield is at Penn State in a few months than a Cignetti or a DeBoer.

Will Warren @statsbywill.bsky.social · 20h

just thinking of it like a standard deviation: 68% worse, 95% same or worse, 0.5% it’s better

Very good record, “Too Much” is one of the best tunes of the 2010s.

The Jets are incredible, you can tell that the entire team is slowly cracking a little more with each play.

Goes directly in the folder with the last one as Liam Gallagher saying "not for me, mate"

I think the hard negative AND positive reactions to this are deeply embarrassing stuff but it's expected, welcome to 2025.

Will Warren @statsbywill.bsky.social · 22h

Alas, this one's not very good. I quite like "Opalite" and "Ruin the Friendship" plus minor aspects of a couple other songs...but "Cancelled" is instantly the worst song she's ever made, and most of the back half is openly bad. Sometimes the haters have it right.

Will Warren @statsbywill.bsky.social · 10d

I have yet to hear it (saving until Sunday for a long I-40 drive with wife) but I’m hearing the new Taylor Swift album has some weird lyrics, strong production, and is all around worth one’s time. So just like most of her catalog!

I think Aaron Glenn might be one-and-done. That is plausibly the worst clock management in modern football history?

Feel for the Auburn fans but they are becoming very funny to watch as a neutral. So many good shots of the crowd, the 4Q execution is unbelievably bad, and it’s all happening to Hugh Freeze.

yeah but gotta start honing in on Stink Fartindale. if you attach a nickname he won’t survive
