With Crane & Bagwell in charge, it will get worse. I can’t understand how they decided, after a dominant era & the 2022 WS 🏆, that they needed to abandon analytics. There’s 2022 interview w/ Bagwell where it’s clear analytics were out & “baseball” guys were in charge. How has that worked out? 😑

I burst out laughing when I saw this in my inbox today 😂. Postseason 🙄. Crane & Bagwell turned the WS champs into chumps with their anti-analytics approach.

Crane & Bagwell ruined the team when they got rid of Click & analytics 😑

Crane & Bagwell’s failure is complete. They really thought they could do better than Click 🙄

Shingles shot is tough, though definitely better than shingles. I recall when I received it, the pharmacist told me that why they always give the boilerplate about side effects, it’s true for shingles shot 😣

I recall a 2022 Bagwell interview & he’s criticizing the team’s use of analytics. I was hoping he was sidelined after the awful contracts he influenced. Instead he’s advising Crane as he evolves into Jerry Jones 😑

I cleared a massive paper jam from our department printer today. Where do I list this on my CV & faculty activity report? I’m confident most professors couldn’t have fixed it, so this must meet “exemplary” status 🤔

While I’m glad Comets are returning, I’m disappointed it’s b/c another community is losing their team. It seems the relocation angered the sports gods b/c this has been a rough week for Houston pro teams & Cougars.

Corpus Christi is the canary in the coal mine. Prolonged drought, ⬆️ demand, ⬆️ temperatures, environmental concerns, & no consensus on how to proceed. Other communities will be facing the same challenge.

What voting system does Tarrant use? I’m assuming it’s an electronic system & ballots get tabulated as votes are cast.

My summer 2026 plans were to attend men’s World Cup games in the 3 host nations. Those plans are out b/c of the FIFA grift. The scam is to offer a few tickets (low supply) when there is high demand. Hence, they inflate prices. I’ll wait until they’re stuck with overpriced tickets & cut prices

Best decision I made that night was to go the marriott hotel bar to visit with some friends after a reception. We were in the bar when the alarm went off, so I was one of the fortunate ones not in pajamas as we waited around all night.

My colleagues & I built the greatest Learning Communities program in higher education. No campus could rival the scope of our program. A spring 2025 administrative decree ended the last vestiges of a once great program & it’s gone for fall 2025. I predict we’ll experience a ⬇️ in student success 😔

As the panel ended, I found the early career scholar & told them I thought that was terrible advice, & the research method they used was appropriate for the research question.

I was a conference & an early career scholar used logistic regression. The discussant told them that they needed to use a more advanced method, not because it was better at answering the research question, but b/c they needed to if they wanted publication in a good journal 🤦🏾‍♂️.
