It reshuffles them a bit, as seen below. (100% would be winning the expected number of games.)
Big 10: 115.5%
Pac 10: 112.0%
Big XII: 108.0%
SEC: 100.9%
A-10: 93.8%
Big East: 86.3%
ACC: 84.9%
MWC: 58.1%

That being said, all those numbers make my brain hurt. The blizzard has buried our boy under a mountain of numbers and I fear he may never find his way out.

/thanks Mother Nature for what seems like a month straight of cloudless, 72 degree days.

He won’t/didn’t

IT’S IN THE HOLE!!

Wow.

This is a great study. I’d like to see it go back 4 or 5 years further, but the sample size is generally solid.

I wasn’t expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised. I moved to KC a little more than a year and a half ago. After living in St. Louis for most of my life, I must say that KC appears to be by far the more superior city, what with the Plaza area, Westport, Brookside, P & L, etc. So much diversity of options on what to do and much cleaner. Nothing like what I expected. I feel like it doesn’t get enough credit for the city that it is, although it does have its downfalls. Just need an NBA team now and I might never leave.

Sad to say I’ve never been there, so I will be interested to see it.

I haven’t been either. I was just at Sprint Center yesterday for monster trucks with the kiddo. I need to get over there.

Quin – Nice to here from you again. I’ll get over there sometime.

Wear some athletic attire. Best hall of fame experience there is IMO. They have different basketball drill-type interactive games which are sweet, e.g. 3 point shootout, pop-a-shot, different height basketball hoops to dunk on, last-second shot feature, and a full court to play pick-up on.

Hey Students!

This is just a last minute reminder that your Vanderbilt women’s basketball play host to their biggest rival today. The Commodores will take on the Volunteers in Memorial gym at 5 p.m. All students who come to this game will receive $20 in gift cards. You will receive $10 to SATCO and $10 to Otter’s Chicken. Please come out and cheer your Commodores to victory.

See you at the game!

/Paying students to go to games
//Still not interested

Do you get out of the house? Interesting stuff.

No. And with not having to get ready for and watch football games all weekend, I have some time.
