Should you go for two or kick an extra point?

You may not agree with it, but sometimes it doesn’t matter.

I used @benbbaldwin’s @ben_bot_baldwin to review Penn State’s decision making against Michigan in my latest newsletter.

Did @ArrowMcLaren make the right call with the 3-stopper at @IndyCar #MidOhio? I looked at the data to try to answer that, and see what makes the extra stop worth it.

Aston Martin had its best chance at winning a GP at Monaco on Sunday. But two pitstops in two laps threw away any chance at a victory. #F1 for @Staturdays.

This article was a great resource on how to watch football a bit smarter as a fan and get more understanding out of what you’re seeing on TV.

No college football content but here’s some NFL content I’ve been sitting on for a while.

Should an NFL team sign @BobanMarjanovic to block kicks for them?

Quick update on the 2022 CFB season:

I (Kyle) got a puppy 1 week before the season started and have had no time to do the work I was hoping to do for the 2022 season, so that’s why we aren’t posting so far this year.

Hopefully I’ll find the time, but in the meantime excited…

During tonight's #NationalChampionship game, we will have some graphs of the sentiment of tweets related to the game, broken out by team specific hashtags. More positive tweets are higher on the y-axis, and more negative tweets are lower. Here are the pregame numbers:

@kylebeni012 Additionally, these are grouped by five minute intervals. So perhaps no one can stay happy for more than 5 minutes to really show a difference 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Staturdays | Sports Stats + Analytics @Staturdays]

@kylebeni012 Definitely surprising to me. My current thought is that people might tweet more when mad, and some calls have been temporarily bad for one team & then bad for the other. For example, the first drive fumble - Alabama mad at first, Georgia mad after it was reversed evens them out?
