Around SBN: Watch Out For Cowboys UDFA Tim Benford

THE CURIOUS INDEX, 1/13/2012

IT'S FRIDAY AND WE'RE SLEEP-DEPRIVED.

We have no idea what this is, but so happy Matt Ufford made it.That's a legitimately beautiful image right there, and should perhaps replace Colorado's state flag as the state's symbol.

HELLO RECRUITING. We wrote a thing at the mothership on recruiting, and included three suggestions for alternative unveiling strategies for recruits. The one we had to cut was "wear sunglasses, then unveil contact lenses with the symbols and letters of the teams on them," but that's still a perfectly good idea should a recruit want to just pick that up off the ground. It's just waiting for you there on the ground, there.

AND THAT IS WEIRD. A reduction of scholarships from 85 to 80 is going to be one of the recommendations from the NCAA working group, with a suggested start date of 2014 for the reduction. The reasons for this are cost-cutting, for the most part, and doesn't that make sense with a possible renegotiated tv deal for the BCS coming up! Don't ask Mark Emmert about any of this, because he's not making any sense for now or the foreseeable future.

EVERYONE IS LEAVING. Well, not everyone, but the LSU and Bama defections are significant, with one surprise in that group coming in the form of Rueben Randle leaving for the NFL. Ramgod is PLEASED, young Rueben, though LSU fans may have to take to Cajun Pot Roast consumption in their sadness at your departure.

STEPHEN IS SORRY. Garcia says he should have listened to his mentors at South Carolina, and is now trying to get in shape and ready for tryouts for the NFL. Best of luck, Andiambro.

ERIC LEGRAND RULES. On the way, big man.

HAHAHAHAH DRINK LESS BEER. We will say that one danger of drinking less beer and more wine, Paul? It's that wine is not filling, and thus goes down like water.

But Craig James “debated” last night. You will all be relieved to know that he is just as terrible in politics as he is calling football (except this time without his trusty sidekick Jesse to add flavor or Rece to make it all make sense). Below from the Austin American Statesman:

Ex-NFL star and broadcaster Craig James, a late entrant into the race, said his campaign will be driven by three core principles: "God is God. Family is family. And the Constitution is the Constitution. "

When asked how to cut the federal budget, James said the answer is simple.

“Just look to the Constitution, look to the playbook,” James said

SPOILER FOR EVERYONE WHO HASN'T SEEN CITIZEN KANE:

A rich old fart dies, and his last words are “Rosebud.” This is him pining for his poor, innocent childhood, and “Rosebud” was the name stamped on his toboggan, which was the only momento he ever had to remind him of that life. Nobody realizes that, however.

The rest of the movie everybody pissing and moaning trying to figure out what “Rosebud” meant, and a retrospective about what a douche the old fart was throughout his life.

Then they burn the toboggan with the trash without ever knowing what it really was. (DRAMATIC CLOSE-UP)

Sir, at the risk of being overly serious
A reduction of scholarships from 85 to 80 is going to be one of the recommendations from the NCAA working group, with a suggested start date of 2014 for the reduction. The reasons for this are cost-cutting, for the most part, and doesn’t that make sense with a possible renegotiated tv deal for the BCS coming up! Don’t ask Mark Emmert about any of this, because he’s not making any sense for now or the foreseeable future.

My guess is that the scholarship reduction is a rough justice way for programs to come out even on budget if the NCAA also approves the player stipends that have been discussed. The big six (or however many) conferences keep about 95% of the bowl money, and if you still want to pay lip service to the idea that small-ballers can compete in Division I-A, you can’t just saddle them with additional player costs and no realistic opportunity to recoup it.

It will actually be fewer players

600 fewer across the FBS. I don’t know how many FCS schools have 85 scholarships for football, but if any do, then they’ll reduce their numbers as well. That also means that programs can cut 5 female scholarships as well*. So you’re looking at potentially 1200+ fewer student athletes.

*The big money schools probably won’t cut female programs, but schools that are operating in the red and only using their female sports because the government says they have to if they want to play football will reduce their scholarships on both sides.

Not necessarily

Schools could use the savings to add scholarships to other sports or, in Maryland’s case, BRING BACK TRACK AND XC! Shifting funds out of football arguably increases the number of actual student-athletes on campus.

There won't be savings

that’s why they’re cutting the scholarships. The NCAA wants to make 4 year scholarships a thing, plus the new proposed stipend (2,000 an athlete or something, I don’t really remember). The scholarship reduction is because schools can’t/won’t foot that bill at the current number of athletes. Instead of dividing Div 1 football again, the NCAA is stupidly reducing total scholarships.

It's only a cost cutting measure for small schools

The big time programs will still spend just as much as they do now. The only difference is the value of those 5 scholarships will be rolled into the recruiting budget as it’ll be even more important not to “miss” on a recruit.

However, take the juice away and I would go for Alabama.

Why would you bet that?

The NCAA tests for steroids now, but like all testing regimes, it is imperfect. And there’s still a lot of stuff out there for which there are no good tests. I’m particularly confused by why you think it would be more common at smaller schools — those are the players who are least likely to have access to resources to obtain PEDs.

I was referring specifically to the bird masks

People had figured out that plague spreads just by being in the same room as the sick, so they assumed it must be in the air. They also noticed that sick people tend to smell weird. Combine that with the fact that they thought plague was the work of the devil and you have the idea that “evil spirits” travel in foul smelling clouds called “miasmas.” So the doctors wore the bird masks with the beaks stuffed with good smelling stuff that the evil couldn’t get through.

I disagree.

if you are a new business, you goal is just to get people in the door. If people don’t come back, well, its probably a problem with the product.

So its not long term because businesses “wise up”, its because business establish a customer base and not longer need to spend/discount on their product.

Same reason business spend crazy ad $$ on new products. (for the most part) Then they mature and products become cash cows. For instance, when is the last “Skittles” commercial you’ve seen?

It's not new businesses using groupon necessarily

Additionally, if the typical demographic that uses groupon is extremely unlikely to return – then it is still a god damn waste of time

The general observation with groupon is that the type of people who use groupons are most likely there ONLY because of the discount, at best you might get a 1% return rate.

If you are a small business, you can’t afford that sort of a practice – especially because Groupon takes an additional cut. In reality, after you do the 50% discount and Groupon takes their piece off, you are talking about a return of 25 cents on every dollar of marketing.

If your typical margin is 25% (just a number pulled out of my ass for ease of calculation), you would need every single customer to return 3 times in order to wind up at a net marketing loss of zero. Generally speaking, the most successful Groupon programs manage customer retention of around 30-40% due to coupon shopping and natural non-retention (Groupon itself only predicts around a 22% retention rate) – so take a guess at how many times every grouponer would need to return in order to net out your cost to zero?

That also doesn’t consider the number of your existing customers who see the groupon coupon and utilize it rather than pay the full price they would ordinarily pay. If even 25% of the retained customers were your existing customers, then you’ve seriously fucked up your bottom-line.

FWIW, some cases related to groupon about it:

1% was a bit of an exaggeration that I forgot to remove

the ‘average’ return rate is 19-22%

Don't take this the wrong way, but

please shut up. I don’t want retailers to get wise. I get to take my girlfriend to some great restaurants for cheap because of Groupon. I would still go without the discounts, but not as often. I, and many similarly situated individuals, come of looking like great guys. Viva Groupon!

I understand your perspective

but you should also realize how that can dick over the restaurants you are going to and ultimately cause more of them to fail if they are already operating on a thin margin.

On the plus side for your side, most restaurant folk don’t do math exceptionally well so they probably wouldn’t think to properly calculate the opportunity cost involved and therefore over-estimate the returns to the discounts.

I was a stoned 14 year old Zeppelin freak, denim jacket all patched up with Zeppelin, etc. By the time I got to college I couldn’t stand listening to them anymore, and now pushing 40 I remember how freaking brilliant they could be.

Cameron Crowe had to know, didn't he?

I always assumed one of two things:
A) Rat fucked it up, or B) it wasn’t down to making out quite yet, since they were on the way to the German restaurant. I suppose C) director’s ignorance is possible, but I always gave him the benefit of the doubt.

It is an absolutely magnificent song. I'd strongly consider any argument that it is the best work Bonzo ever did.

I don't think any of them would really disagree with you on that.

They pretty much just looked at each other and said “Welp.” when Bonham died. Page and Plant got most of the spotlight but the rhythm section is what made Zeppelin so great. Bonham is one of the top 3 rock drummers of all time, and JPJ is a musical genius.

In the books, Sansa plays a huge role in letting Cersei know that Eddard is sending the girls back North and deposing Joffrey. As in, once she’s told, she runs to Cersei in tears because she is afraid she won’t get to be Joffrey’s wife.

Anything from Season 1 is fair game.

Anything upcoming is not. Book being out 15 years is irrelevant, as some of us are up to our eyeballs in reading for school and can’t spend the time to catch up. Don’t be a dick and ruin the show for us.

And that's okay, and gives those who have read the books a nice feeling of "hey, we knew that was coming"

But my point is that the book coming out 15 years ago is no excuse for ruining the show for those of us watching the show. This is all being talked about because the show is on HBO, and because season 2 is coming up. Saying “oh but the book has been out 15 years” ignores that the whole relevancy of the discussion is tied up in the show. Season 1 ended 7 months ago, as Nick pointed out, and if you are interested but haven’t watched it in that time, that’s your fault. That’s completely different from those of us eagerly awaiting Season 2, but without the time to read massive books to catch up. If someone wants to discuss what happens in book 5 or whatever, they are more than free to post a fanshot with the title “George R.R. Martin Book Discussion DO NOT ENTER IF JUST WATCHING THE SERIES” and I will stay out. That gives me enough warning. Posting what happens in book 6 here in a random thread hits me out of the blue and screws everything up. And spare me the “oh but I didn’t tell you what happened in the coming season.” Yes, you did—if Character A is doing something in Book 6, they’re obviously not going to die off in Book 2, and I may be able to deduce other things. Bottom line—don’t be a dick. Some of us want to enjoy the show. I get that you’re excited and a fan of the books. Don’t ruin that excitement for me.
