Clemson and the Big 12
May 5, 2012 By Marty Coleman Leave a Comment
Living in Austin for the last 20 years or so, I’ve learned a thing or two about big time college football, the power brokers and teams that make up the “Joneses”. I’ve learned that Clemson is not one of them, no matter how much some fans want it to be. I’m not saying Clemson can’t [...]
Thoughts from the Spring Game
April 15, 2012 By Marty Coleman 1 Comment
There’s nothing new or earth shattering here, you’ve probably read similar reviews by now, but that won’t stop me from adding my two cents. Yeah, it was the spring game and the team was split, but that doesn’t mean observations can’t be made. Tajh Boyd was unimpressive and inconsistent. As Tajh goes so goes the Clemson [...]

Through games of Sunday no teams meet all 5 of our criteria. Florida is closest, followed by Rice. Team Record Fielding ERA Batting Slugging SoS Florida 38-14 9 8 117 22 9 Rice 36-14 21 14 86 66 59 Rice is only .001 out of the money in fielding, but the Owl’s 59th rated SoS [...]

The Gators regain their spot as the lone contender through games of Sunday and meet all 5 of our criteria. Team Record Fielding ERA Batting Slugging SoS Florida 35-13 4 14 97 13 5 Rice (33-13) had a tough series with Houston over the weekend and is just outside the ERA and Batting Average parameters, [...]
College Baseball Contenders (through 4/29/12)

Rice had the week off but remains at the top of the heap and a 3 game series at UCF looms down the road to end the regular season and most likely decide Conference USA. Florida does not technically meet the criteria, but considering that the Gators are 0.01 from being 22nd in ERA, I’ve [...]

Do Yards Matter?
December 27, 2011 By Marty Coleman Leave a Comment
Over the last few years I’ve noticed multiple web sites, blogs, and other publications state their case as to why total yards gained don’t matter. The usual argument goes something like this: “It doesn’t matter how you score, as long as you score. A team doesn’t get any yards for scoring on defense or special [...]
Week 14 Picks
December 1, 2011 By Marty Coleman Leave a Comment
By now you’ve come to realize that picking games isn’t my strong suit. A 2-6 record last week leaves me at 39-42 on the season (48.1%) and 9-4 in picks of the week (69.2%). Yet, I continue which means I am probably looking to the end of the regular season and championship games more than [...]
Week 13 Picks
November 24, 2011 By Marty Coleman Leave a Comment
A 4-3 week in week 12 means we are clicking along at a 37-36 on the year and 8-4 picks of the week. Maybe you noticed no pick in the Clemson – South Carolina game. There’s a reason for that. My analysis (more on that tomorrow), done without the benefit of the spread, came out [...]
