South Carolina (+11)  at Ole Miss: Do for the Champ

Florida vs Georgia (-3.5): why not? I wonder how long it's been, before this season, since the SEC didn't have an 11:00 game. I guess we'll never know.

LSU at Auburn (+3): but not winning!

Mississippi State at Alabama (-32): A team in decline

Arkansas (+12) at Texas A&M: sure

Missouri at Florida (-13.5): dude I have no idea how to pick this game. Florida is a lot better but has been in isolation. Rested or out of sync? Missouri is getting better but is still a bad team. I don't know.

Four Picks, Five Weeks, Six Sigma

Apparently I'm picking all favorites this week. That seems unreliable. To be good at this Pick Them in the future, I need to find a set of tools and techniques for process improvement, improving the quality of my output by removing the causes of defects. 

Auburn (-3) @ Old Mist: not Six Sigma certified (fails to achieve stable and predictable process results)

Alabama (-21) @ Tennessee: Six Sigma Black Belt (achieving sustained quality improvement) 

Kentucky (-5) @ Mizzou: not Lean Six Sigma certified (fails to systematically remove waste)

South Carolina @ LSU (-6.5): not Six Sigma certified (no clear commitment to decision-making based on statistical methods and empirical data, rather than assumptions and guesswork)

Tha Captainz Week 3(E) Pix: Extremely Special "Mike Pence Head Fly Parody Account Lover" Edition

I'm going to the beach! Surf's up! Time for some Beach Boys facts!

Florida -6.5  The Beach Boys were formed when Roger Waters and Nick Mason met while studying architecture at the London Polytechnic, Regent Street.

Vanderbilt +13  I'm already done with the bit where I post facts about Pink Floyd rather than the Beach Boys.

Georgia -13   So I guess some beach facts?

Arkansas +16.5   Beaches are made of sand, water, and sea shells.

Alabama -24   Seagulls can live to be 100 years old. They are the wise keepers of the briny deeps.

Mississippi St. +2.5   There is no beach more famous than Party Beach.

Mizzou +20.5   The beach is a land of contrasts.

Course Design

We’re supposed to take the plot of land, draw the roads, divide it into plots, and determine the shape of the house by the plot, and the layout of the rooms by the shape of the house.

Eventually, at some level, where you put your dining room table is determined by the needs of the road system. And that’s bad, because the roads have to be aware of the needs of your dining room table as well.

Top-down gives you consistency, but it doesn’t give you anything living structure. The magic actually comes about when you think — what does a RIVER OF WORK look like in Psychology 101?

It’s in the collision of the design pattern with the local need. We’re allowed to think through the pattern.

Tuesdays with Mr. Robot

We're pleased to now be able to offer free copies of the transcripts of Tri Epsilon's daily press briefing, starting today.

[beginning of transcript]

MR. ROBOT: Yeah, yes, let's get started, right. We were just talking--people come up to me, they come up to me all the time, and they say, Mr. Robot, how do you do it? [pause] How do you have America's premier blog-based fraternal organization, a blog with over 2,500 posts? People, you know, people want to know the secrets. So people ask me, how do you do it? They say, what's the trick? And then I look at them and I say to them [pause, Mr. Robot smiling to camera] I say, if you knew that, you'd be 3E, right? [laughter, cross-talk] You'd be 3E, wouldn't you? And we wouldn't be having this conversation. That's what I tell them. OK, OK, let's have some questions. Yes.

REPORTER ONE: Yes, thank you. How will the 2020 SEC Pick-off be affected if the college football season is delayed or even cancelled?

MR. ROBOT: Well, I'll tell you, Tom, that's something that we're talking about and thinking about and that we're considering very carefully. The Pick-off is the most important financial consideration for a lot of people, it keeps a lot of businesses in business, if you know what I mean. That's something you have to consider, thinking about all the, all the ramifications. And obviously it's one of 3E's most cherished traditions, and we take tradition very seriously around here. So, we're looking at it. We've got top people looking at this and it's something we're taking very seriously.

REPORTER ONE: If I can, a follow-up: Any chance that you might just have Bowl Pick Them 2020 and not the 2020 SEC Pick-off, or vice versa?

MR. ROBOT: Again, that's something we're looking at. I'd like to be able to tell you, hey, we're doing this, this, and this. But right now things are uncertain, they're uncertain and so we're just going to have to see where we are in a few months. Just saying that we're having a spring Pick Them, that's unprecedented. How would you even do the labels? But these times, we're in unprecedented times, so we're looking at things. OK, who's next, OK?

REPORTER TWO: How is 3E complying with social distancing rules and regulations?

MR. ROBOT: Well, we're doing great is how we're doing. We're following all the precautions, taking all the precautions and following all the procedures the wonderful health officials are telling us to follow. We're doing a good job, a great job with it.

REPORTER TWO: So there aren't any problems? As you may know there are some rumors online that--

MR. ROBOT: No, no, no problems. There's not--no, I am not aware of or concerned about any rumors online. Nope, nope. So, OK, what else?

REPORTER TWO: Then what do you say about the photographs that have been circulating, that--

MR. ROBOT: I don't know anything about any pictures.

REPORTER TWO: --show what people familiar with the images are describing as a quote naked tickle party unquote?

CAPTAIN WEST [stepping in front of podium]: OK, folks, that's it for questions today. We're done with questions. You can find out more information online on our website, still on blogspot, that's triepsilon.blogspot.com. Thank you, everyone.

OUTSTANDING

You did it. All the records mentioned yesterday are toast.

Fun Facts:
  • I got all my 30+ confidence picks correct which has never happened before. On the other hand, I got 6 picks in the 20's wrong which ties for the most all time.
  • This is the first time you've ever gotten the 38 confidence pick correct. The curse is broken!

2019 3E BOWL PICK THEM SCOREBOARD: IT WAS - AS WE ALL KNEW IN OUR HEARTS OF HEARTS - ALL ABOUT THE TATER

Look at our big strong boy winning it all.

Here are two records you've already broken (previous records in parentheses like this):
  • Wins (26, Charles, 2012)
  • Confidence % (69.4%, Cap, 2016)
Here's two you will break if the Cajuns win:
  • Win % (74.3% (26-9), Charles, 2012)
  • Confidence Points (569*, Cap, 2016 (*40 games))
Here are two records that we will break (together, as a team), regardless of the Cajuns decide to do:
  • Agreed Wins (18, 2017)
  • Agreed Win % (77.8% (14-4) in 2012)
If the Cajuns win, our Win %'s will be the 1st and 3rd best all time. If the Cajuns do not win, our %'s will be an embarrassing 2nd and 5th all time.

By a wide margin, my futile efforts will be the "best" losing performance of all time. The previous best win % in a losing effort was 59.0% by you in 2017. The worst I can do is 64.1%.

2019 3E BOWL PICK THEM NOT A SCORE BOARD

I'm not making a score board this morning. The wounds are just too fresh.

Charles:
24-10 (8-6)
453/644, 70.3%
260 POWER POINTS

Tha Captain:
22-12 (6-8)
478/684, 69.9%
270 POWER POINTS



Ok. You win, great job.

The Potato Bowl aka the Poe Tay Toe Bowl will most likely decide the confidence portion. The only ways the Potato Bowl winner does not win confidence are as follows:

Charles wins if Cincinnati, Indiana, Tulane, and Miami (OH) win.

Tha Captain wins if Boston College, Tennessee, and Southern Miss win. The Mobile Bowl does not matter (what a mean thing to say).

If any of the other 29 outcomes of the last 5 games occur... "It's All About The Tater."

2019 3E BOWL PICK THEM SCORE BOARD: EXTREMELY SPECIAL "THE GUNS OF NAVARONE PART II" EDITION

Well that is interesting but today could swing it to "not interesting" very quickly.

If everything goes one person's way today, the Auburn game will-of course-be the potential clincher tomorrow.

Monday, December 30, 2019

2019 3E BOWL PICK THEM SCORE BOARD: SUPER SPECIAL "THE GUNS OF NAVARONE" EDITION

Friday went one way, then Saturday went the other. That's just how the cookie crumbles.

You can clinch the w/l portion NYE afternoon in the Sun Bowl. The confidence portion will have to wait until at least the Alamo Bowl that night. I'm just one or two results away from making sure that at least one portion goes to "The Big 20" aka 2020.

Today features one very pivotal Music City Bowl (CRISIS, 39 PP), a pretty significant 1st Responders Bowl (18 PP) and the very useless Redbox (1) and Orange (0) Bowls. I hope you enjoy them. Toodaloo!

Thursday, December 26, 2019

2019 3E BOWL PICK THEM SCORE BOARD: Very Special "I'm Here So I Might As Well Make A Score Board" Edition

Heap big excitement. Fun Fact: Regardless of what happens in the two games today, if every game goes your way on Friday, Saturday, and Monday, the Belk Bowl on New Year's Eve will clinch both parts of the pick them for you.

Monday, December 23, 2019

2019 3E BOWL PICK THEM SCOREBOARD: EXTREMELY SPECIAL "CIRCLE THE WAGONS" EDITION

4 games went "the way of Charles" and 3 went "the way of tha Captain" but the fewest POWER POINTS you acquired in your four wins was 11. The largest POWER POINTS value of my three wins was 10. You do the math! NOT. I just did it for you.

For all games, the winner that would benefit you is listed first. For CRISES that's pretty clear. For agreed games: if you have more points on the line, a shared win benefits you so our mutual pick is listed first. If I have more wagered, you benefit if we lose.

Tha Captainz Picks 2019: They're Just Right Here For All To See!!!!!

There are 39 bowl games in honor of the 39 white men who signed the U.S. Constitution.

BAHAMAS
(5) Buffalo v UNC-Charlotte
Turner Gill finally got the Bulls turned around.

FRISCO
(28) Utah St. v Kent St.
How often is it the case that all of Auburn's 1A non-con opponents make bowl games? It didn't happen the previous two years and that's as far back as the ncaa's records go.

NEW MEXICO
(17) San Diego St. v Central Michigan
A duel of relatively uncontroversial native american mascots. boring.

CURE
(29) Georgia Southern v Liberty
Ah good another chance for me to mention "Li-Bear-ty" the Beanie Baby.

BOCA RATON
(8) FAU v SMU
idk

CAMELLIA
(10) Arkansas St. v FIU
Ah yes it's "those teams are definitely in the same conference in my brain" time of year

LAS VEGAS
(16) Boise St. v Washington
Spin the wheel, roll the dice... and let the chips fall where they may.

NEW ORLEANS
(39) Appalachian St. v UAB
That guy with the wooden App St. sign. Do you think he made it or do you think he found it in the toilet?

GASPARILLA
(32) UCF v Marshall
It should be easy to think of something to say about a football game but it sometimes it isn't.

HAWAII
(4) Hawaii v BYU
Look out! It's the Hawaii Bowl!

INDEPENDENCE
(22) Miami (Fl) v La Tech
Remember when the ACC expanded and everybody (me) thought that the ACCCGpbDr.P would be Florida St. vs Miami every year and then that hasn't even happened once? Both teams have played in the Independence Bowl more times than they've played each other for the ACC title.

QUICK LANE
(31) Pitt v EMU
There was a comic book guy named "Pitt." From wikipedia: "Pitt is a human/alien hybrid, created by an alien race known as the Creed, genetically engineered to serve as a killing machine. He appears more alien than human, with red pupil-less eyes, gray skin, absence of a nose, sharp oversized teeth and large talons." There's no punchline here, I'm not going to say something like "oh i'm sorry that was the wikipedia article on MY MOTHER IN LAW" or something like that. I'm also not going to say anything about how EMU is the word Emu. Let's just move on.

MILITARY
(12) Temple v North Carolina
Temple is so named because it was started in the basement of a Baptist temple. That's so stupid. The first classes were tutoring sessions for working-class citizens and were taught late at night. This is why their mascot is the Owl. That's less stupid i guess but it's not cool. gtfoh temple.

PINSTRIPE
(27) Michigan St. v Wake Forest
"Wow, Michigan St vs Wake Forest," he said, failing miserably to feign any interest.

TEXAS
(11) Oklahoma St. v TAMU
Let's circle this back to the 39 white dudes who signed the Constitution. 5 Williams, 4 Johns, 3 each of George and James. It's weird that a guy named Jared was there.

HOLIDAY
(23) USC v Iowa
Thinking of how in 2002 Iowa had "Brad Banks" yet in 2008 the whole country had "bad banks."

CHEEZ-IT
(1) Washington St. v Air Force
Washington St. throws the ball so much it is they who should be called Air Force. Copyright Tha Captain.

COTTON
(35) Penn St. v Memphis
A guy named Jared signed the Constitution. Still weird.

CAMPING WORLD
(33) Notre Dame v Iowa St.
Man, f*ck camping.

PEACH
(30) LSU v Oklahoma
I am not really 30 confident but the line is so large I had to inflate the number a little bit.

FIESTA
(3) Clemson v Ohio St.
Has anybody said that the cfb playoffs are like taco bell menu items where it's the same 6 or 7 ingredients combined 4 at a time in different formats and also most of the ingredients came from the toilet

1ST RESPONDER
(18) WKU v WMU
wtf

REDBOX
(19) Cal v Illinois
Illinois ruined their uniforms and I will never forgive them.

MUSIC CITY
(15) Louisville v Mississippi St.
Petrinoball.

ORANGE
(36) Florida v Virginia
"Hello, it's me Jared and I'm here to sign the Constitution." Messed up.

BELK
(25) Va Tech v Kentucky
Gotta think that Budsworth "Bud" Foster can figure out how to stop a team literally without a quarterback in literally his last game as a coach.

SUN
(7) Florida St. v Arizona St.
They should also have a moon bowl and play it at night.

LIBERTY
(6) Kansas St. v Navy
Thinking of course of dear "Li-bear-ty" the very famous Beanie Baby.

ARIZONA
(21) Wyoming v Georgia St.
It's the kind of game that makes you think "foot ball."

ALAMO
(14) Texas v Utah
I don't have to explain this to you or to anybody else. I will not be held responsible for it.

CITRUS
(38) Alabama v Michigan
Making a "rage face" thinking about this game.

OUTBACK
(9) Minnesota v Auburn
Cheering for whichever team is "Team Bloomin' Onion" because putting coconut on it is a petty and insensitive thing to do to a shrimp.

ROSE
(26) Wisconsin v Oregon
What a clash of styles. Wisconsin wears red whereas Oregon wears green.

SUGAR
(34) Georgia v Baylor
See above.

BIRMINGHAM
(20) Cincinnati v Boston College
Don't forget to check out the McWane Center, boys!

GATOR
(24) Tennessee v Indiana
Always Bet On Orange

POTATO
(13) Nevada v Ohio
Imagine how different our lives would be if we had sat on the Ohio side instead of the App. St. side. Imagine how different their little wooden sign would be.

ARMED FORCES
(2) Tulane v Southern Mist
What does the Venn Diagram of "Armed Forces" and "Military" look like?

MOBILE
(37) UL-Lafayette v Miami (OH)
I regret to inform you that we have to wait until January 6th to see UL-Lafayette play Miami of Ohio in Mobile, Alabama.
