The Georgia graphs 1) are funny and 2) hurt my feelings because they are 100% accurate.

Your Joe Cox graph is not right (or very confusing). You should move the bars to coming out of y-axis (Night, Dusk, Day) and not the possibly/no side.

Judging on my family history, bees will definitely get me

It seems plausible that Brandon Spikes is the leading cause of death, but I’d like to see demographic breakdowns. I find it hard to believe he is much of a risk to the lives of, say, upper-middle class white women in their 40s, though he likely represents substantial risk to both their marriages and their uteri. Also, how do other significant risk vectors such as Eric Berry or Taylor Mays stack up? What about the impact of Golden Tate on the rate of suicides among defensive coordinators? These results are provocative, but I can’t say they have much clinical utility.

The engineers at From The Rumble Seat are proud of your deep analysis Orson!

Harris died minutes after posting that comment. Cause unknown.

Thanks Orson. Sorry for the senseless complaining. The college graduate in me came out for a moment. I need to get back to work and stop thinking.

I’m being about as productive as a Gary Crowton offense today.

by Kevin@LSU on Oct 13, 2009 11:43 AM EDT reply actions  

Now you’re thinking like a true American, Leavitt.
Re: number of points needed to win for UF: “Threeve,” a hypothetical number created by the mere presence of a dazed, obviously still-concussed Tim Tebow as he breaks the laws of the natural universe by running to the sideline instead of through a defender.

What about the relationship between quarterbacks with mustaches and their success against horrible teams? See: Jones, Landry. Potts, Taylor. McCoy, Colt (only applies to pre-season Heisman consideration).

by Shane on Oct 13, 2009 11:50 AM EDT reply actions  

Also there is some overlap between the first and second graphs; Jacory Harris, I believe, also falls under the “delicious things” category when he is above the “Ay, Papi” line. Although “delicioso” is a more apt descriptor given his surroundings.

by Jim Bob Cooter on Oct 13, 2009 11:50 AM EDT reply actions  

Shane, I agree. I’m pleased with the newfound respect and appreciation for delicious face salad that we’ve been seeing as of late.

I was hoping for a MTBF (mean time between fumbles) chart for WVU.

Is all this going to be on the test?

Kevin@LSU, now image in the success a QB with mutton chops would have in the Big 12 north.

by Shane on Oct 13, 2009 12:11 PM EDT reply actions  

Orson, I would like to support your theory on the inability of gingers to win in the presence of sun. TCU qb Andy Dalton is quite possibly the finest ginger west of the Mississippi, and each TCU victory has come in either torrential downpour (SMU, Clemson), overcast (Virginia, Texas State), and Siberian winter (Air Force).

Wouldn’t you know it that Daylight Savings Time ends the day AFTER the cocktail party? Would’ve been nice for Joe to have a quarter to show his ninja skills in JAX (down 35 pts. of course).

well, my two grandmothers and one of my grandfathers were killed by brandon spikes, so i guess it runs in the family.

my other grandfather was lit on fire and fed into a wood chipper. we say that he “took the easy way out.”

Speaking of points needed to win, it surprises me that neither Florida nor Alabama have pitched shutouts this season. (Alabama had two last year, Florida none.) Are they contractually obligated to provide a field goal to each cupcake team and SEC bottom-dweller?

by Tim James on Oct 13, 2009 1:43 PM EDT reply actions  

Florida just signed the deal with Arky for this weekend, they are now conctractually obligated to Threeve points

Prediction:

Arky: 4
Tebow: 56

The constant focus on WVU’s fumbles is just the football world whistling past the graveyard in an attempt to distract itself from thinking about what that offense is going to do when it stops (see chart below).

Auburn: 6 TOs, 10 pt loss on road
Colorado: 4 TOs, 11 pt win at home
Syracuse: 1 TO, 21 pt win on road

There is nothing delicious about Jonathan Crompton. However, I do believe that a giant catfish has enough simple motor-skills to beat UGA this year.
