  1. One year later, where is all the shit promised to Schlos in the form of facilities? Still planning?

    These cheese dicks gotta be hurting after all the $ thrown out the window for corches, facilities and NIL (ha ha), and shit to show for it.

    Trevs budget to do didily shit is 0.0!

  2. Holy shit I didn't realize that was a turd I dropped in the punch bowl.
    For the dim-witted among us, I wasn't referring to Grohl's pseudo-feud with his friend Taylor Swift.  I was referring to his image as one of the "good guys" of rock being permanently tarnished by his affair and how he handled it.  It was pretty off-handed, but leave it to surly to go batshit crazy.

  3. I think CTJ was suggesting that your two discrete values of performance versus rank, and performance expected overall are in fact superposition (all possible results co-existing) values rather than discrete, independent values.  As such applying quantum theory,  specifically using Qubits to create a quantum model is the natural next step to improving your results.  I've spoilered an initial set of resources:
    Spoiler

    Qubits are the fundamental units of information in quantum computing, analogous to bits in classical computing. Unlike bits, which can only be 0 or 1, qubits can exist in a superposition of 0 and 1 simultaneously, allowing quantum computers to process vast amounts of information in parallel. This "superposition" and the phenomenon of entanglement enable qubits to solve problems that are intractable for classical computers.   

    Elaboration:

    • Superposition: A qubit can exist in a state that is a combination of both 0 and 1 (e.g., 0.5 * 0 + 0.5 * 1) until it is measured, 
      . This allows a quantum computer to explore multiple possibilities simultaneously.   
    • Entanglement: When two or more qubits are entangled, they become linked in a way that their properties are correlated, regardless of the distance separating them. Measuring the state of one entangled qubit instantly influences the state of the other, even if they are far apart.   
    • Quantum Entanglement: This phenomenon enables quantum computers to solve problems much faster than classical computers. For example, a quantum computer can try all possible solutions to a problem simultaneously using the "Grover operator" to find the right answer.   
    • Physical Implementations: Qubits can be physically implemented using various quantum systems, including:
      • Superconducting circuits: These are circuits that exhibit superconductivity, where electrons can flow without resistance.   
      • Trapped ions: Ions are charged atoms that can be trapped in place by electric fields and manipulated with lasers.   
      • Photons: Photons of light can be polarized and used as qubits, and are known for their stability and speed.   
      • Topological qubits: These qubits are more robust to errors and are used by Microsoft in their quantum hardware.   
    • Operations on Qubits: Operations on qubits include:
      • Quantum gates: These are fundamental operations that manipulate qubits, similar to logic gates in classical computers.   
      • Measurements: Measuring a qubit collapses its superposition, revealing a definite 0 or 1 state.   
      • Initialization: Setting a qubit to a known initial state, often 0.   
      • Transfer: Sending qubits through quantum channels to other systems, according to Wikipedia

  4. What about a split? Keep 8 as per standard, lower 2/3s play lighthouse of the blind, and let the top 25% play OOC from BIgxPACc? Both top level teams and mid to lower SEC3 get bowl eligibility because of “W” or top 25 (good loss)!!1!

  5. In 2006 I sat down to dinner at a Thai restaurant in DC.  And I hear a voice that sounds familiar at the next table.  It was Reali and one of his production assistants.  I overheard some pretty good ratings talk about Around the Horn and PTI and what guests/guest hosts cause the viewership to surge or crash.

    And that’s the rest of the story….?

    Booooo! 2006? So, spill the beans. How did it work out? Inquiring minds want to and all.
