Finally put my college basketball ratings onto a site. Named after the author of the Divine Comedy because sure why not. Still working to improve the site through the off-season but it’s a start.

Would agree with everything in here. The @americansoccerinsights.com summit was a great experience all around.
A lot of the ASA-erati attended the @americansoccerinsights.com summit at Rice University last week, and people wanted to talk about their experience.
So we convened the ASA roundtable for highlights.

We had so much fun at the @americansoccerinsights.com Summit last year, we had to come back for another live pod! We were joined by @catabush.com and Houston Dash analyst Chloe Dhillon for a great talk about the state of data in the women's game, for the public and for teams. Enjoy!

@iankarmel.bsky.social I have a question for the AFE crew: If you were in the Olympics, would you rather walk in with a huge team like the US, or a team that only has like 2 people?

Had to rerun twice but the errors are fixed. Ratings now updated through yesterday’s games, which should be the case moving forward now.
Think I finally got the automation on my GitHub page to work, so team ratings should update tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed I didn’t break it this afternoon:

One of my goals before turning 40 is to read all the Shakespeare plays.
