FSU 2021 | Finance Major | Sports Analytics Summit 2020

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Whether it’s military aid or ventilators, a foreign ally or an American governor,

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:

You cannot count on Donald Trump to do what’s right for this country.

You can count on him to do what’s right for Donald Trump.

[Archive: Governor Andrew Cuomo @NYGovCuomo]

I hope NY doesn’t ultimately need 30,000 ventilators.

But I don't operate on opinion and hope.

I operate on facts and data and science.

All the projections say we will need 30,000-40,000 ventilators.

So that is what we will strive to have.

@ngreenberg was probably my favorite speaker out of everyone there today. #FSUSAS

[Will Jacques @WilliamsonRJac2]

@ngreenberg has offered a lot of insight on sports analytics. He definitely stood out today. #FSUSAS

[Will Jacques @WilliamsonRJac2]

@ngreenberg is talking about March Madness now. This is what we’ve all been waiting for. #FSUSAS

[Will Jacques @WilliamsonRJac2]

I feel bad for anyone who left after Norvell left. @ngreenberg might not have that wow factor but he’s been just as interesting and informative about analytics as any other speaker today, if not more. Hes answering the questions that need to be answered. #FSUSAS

[Will Jacques @WilliamsonRJac2]

Greenberg gives advice saying that it’s important to know Excel and at least one programming language in order to get a job in sports analytics. #FSUSAS

Bowden is definitely well respected here. It great to see an FSU legend speak at the summit. #FSUSAS

[Will Jacques @WilliamsonRJac2]

They’re letting Norvell run last his time but I don’t think anybody minds. #FSUSAS

[Will Jacques @WilliamsonRJac2]

@ngreenberg is extremely confident in what he does. He’s impressing me more and more throughout this conference. #FSUSAS

[Will Jacques @WilliamsonRJac2]

It’s tough having to come up after an FSU legend and the newest stud head football coach, that’s coming off an undefeated season, but @ngreenberg is doing a great job. #FSUSAS

[Will Jacques @WilliamsonRJac2]

@ngreenberg has a pretty interesting story about getting his job at @washingtonpost. Arguing on Twitter is fun, but never thought I could get a job out of it. #FSUSAS

[Will Jacques @WilliamsonRJac2]

Greenberg seems to be very knowledgeable. It’s gonna be hard to follow up Bowden and Norvell but he’s doing well so far. #FSUSAS

[Will Jacques @WilliamsonRJac2]

Greenberg is up next. Having someone from @washingtonpost is a big deal. #FSUSAS

[Will Jacques @WilliamsonRJac2]

The room is a lot more empty after this break, now that Norvell and Bowden are gone. #FSUSAS

[Will Jacques @WilliamsonRJac2]

Norvell’s time slot has been the highlight of the day. Every speaker was great today and he still managed to stand out. #FSUSAS

[Will Jacques @WilliamsonRJac2]

Future for @FSUFootball is bright with @Coach_Norvell. That’s been made clear today. #FSUSAS

[Will Jacques @WilliamsonRJac2]

Was a perfect example of how sports analytics comes into play. 2-point conversion is 50/50; assuming you score again then that’s two chances to score 2 points that will win you the game. Statistics are in your favor. #FSUSAS

[Neil Greenberg @ngreenberg]

FSU Coach Norvel walking through down by 8 (after a TD) in the fourth quarter and the two-point conversion at @FSU_SAS. “I assure you we’re not playing for ties. We’re playing to win the game.”

And boom I’m pregnant.

[Will Jacques @WilliamsonRJac2]

Norvell is very knowledgeable about sports analytics. He just provided a perfect example of how they come into play down the stretch in a football game. #FSUSAS
