Week Eleven (Stranger Things reference)
Friday, November 27, 2020
Week 10 is brought to you by some real clunkers
Vanderbilt at Missouri (-20): hard not to get excited about this one
Kentucky at Florida (-23.5): Florida seems good, thinking about a play-off bid, and such
Auburn (+24.5) at Alabama (-24.5): Gonna suck
Miss St at Old Mist (-9.5): Kiffypoo seems like the kind of guy to take a rivalry game seriously.
LSU at TAMU (-14): Been a weird season, and while I expected LSU to not be as good as last year, their badness has been a weird part of it.
Georgia (-21.5) at South Carolina: In a game between two games who seemed to have given up, I guess I go with the talent. O/U on this one is pretty funny.
BUXBUXBUXBUXBUXBUXBUXBUX
{v}402.06 and this week the HELLWORLD rules about 1/4 going toward an underdog, that's really tough. Have we done -110 vig for over/unders? I feel like we do.

I look at week 9, and I ask, why?
Florida (-31.5) @ Vanderbilt: no
LSU (+1.5) @ Arkansas: LSU is falling apart but is also immensely talented.
Kentucky (+31) @ Alabama: That's a lot of points.
Tennessee @ Auburn (-10.5): Auburn is good again
Mississippi St. (+24.5) @ Georgia: Seems like this will be a weird one
Mizzou (-6.5) @ South Carolina: I may be reading too much into it, but South Carolina's got that "rats fleeing a ship" feel

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)

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.

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.Design Patterns and the Coming Revolution in Course Design
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
[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
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
Here are two records you've already broken (previous records in parentheses like this):
- Wins (26, Charles, 2012)
- Confidence % (69.4%, Cap, 2016)
- Win % (74.3% (26-9), Charles, 2012)
- Confidence Points (569*, Cap, 2016 (*40 games))
- Agreed Wins (18, 2017)
- Agreed Win % (77.8% (14-4) in 2012)
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
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."
