so you're saying a team that is currently next to last in the belt had the possible MAC champ on the ropes? Are we that much better as a conference?

I think I'd put it more simply and say, we're a much better team than our record would reflect.

Not sure about the other two; they might have a hard time with Temple. Now there's a story of a 3 year turnaround.

unt is 31 points from being 0-8, and 101 points from being 8-0.

Or, 25 points from being 6-2...if you throw out the two blowouts. In other words, you can prove whatever you want with statistics.

We do it here every day. Mark Twain couldn't have said it better.

Everyone knows that 72% of statistics are made up.

I thought it was 65%.

[eulessismore]

Speaking of statistics, did anyone here take statistics in the Business School under J.B. Spalding (sp?)? He used to serve as statistician for the football team in the early 80's. You knew whenever he had a chance, he'd work North Texas sports into his schedule.

I wanna think of it that way too, but I want to say that almost doesn't really count. Admittedly, if our team would show up as a group and be there the whole game we would probably be 6-2 right now. Without costly turnovers, and consistent play from the defense, we'd have a totally different record. While that's somewhat encouraging, the question has to be asked - "Why not? We're so close!"

But statistics are wrong at least half the time.

So 50% of the 72% are correct? Or is it 50% of the 28% that is correct? Ehh screw it.

This is pretty high level stuff, I wouldn't put too much thought into it, just take the statement at face value.
