So last week was a ho hum week, but not a bad week for yours truly. Ryan and Liam both took big hits last weekend, and now most of the table is getting pretty interesting as we’ve gotten through more than a third of the season. It was an even better round for Luke, whoContinue reading “USL League One Predictions: Week 13”

Last week felt like more of a routine week when compared with the previous week. Greenville may have a legitimate complaint to that comment, given that they played two of the top four teams in the league in a four day span. Toronto FC II are probably also glad that what has become their routineContinue reading “USL League One Ratings: Week 13”

Unsurprisingly, a few matches with a line of straight zeros. But, kudos to Luke and Ryan for picking the Baby Revs to beat Madison, I obviously wasn’t that bold. But who else deserves kudos? How about Liam continuing to defy logic by lapping Luke while only having four more wins than him? I’m not officiallyContinue reading “USL League One Predictions: Week 12”

After a week that saw more games played than any other week so far this season (not only did all 12 teams play, but all 12 played just during the weekend alone) I figured we were bound to see some wonkiness in the ratings. Not to mention, some teams reached that 8 match milestone asContinue reading “USL League One Ratings: Week 12”

An average to below average score for most of the group last week. I say most of the group because Luke had to go out and do the thing. While he’s not out of the cellar quite yet, he has mentioned that his goal was to always finish strong. Somebody needs to tell him we’reContinue reading “USL League One Predictions: Week 11”

So, even though I waited until we were practically two months from the start of the season to release these ratings for the first time, I still had a feeling that at this stage of the season we’d see some wonky movement that seemed to go against the grain. And while, surprisingly, most of theContinue reading “USL League One Ratings: Week 11”

As of the time that I began typing this post, the 2021 USL League One season is more than 20% complete, with 38 of 168 regular season games in the books. And I don’t mean simply metaphorical books, but Excel workbooks as well. That’s right, it’s time for amateur statisticians (me) to pretend they knowContinue reading “USL League One Ratings: Week 10 (First Publication)”

The season seems to be coming at us faster than we can keep up. I wonder if I’m only now thinking this because I didn’t walk into my apartment until 3:00 Monday morning after driving back from Madison? Maybe, maybe not, but my brain felt like it was floating in a wave pool when IContinue reading “USL League One Predictions: Week 10”

Thank God for the holiday weekend and the short turnaround. I can use it as an excuse to say that I don’t have much time to talk about last week. And there’s not much to talk about with last week, obviously, because we all sucked. How does a group of people go a combined 7-42?Continue reading “USL League One Predictions: Week 9”

Even if last weekend’s games were kinda ho-hum, an analysis of our picks would suggest otherwise. The group combined to hit 25% of the exact scorelines (we had hit less than 9% before then), there was wild disparity amongst the group, and at the bottom was one unfamiliar face (Rich), and one very familiar faceContinue reading “USL League One Predictions: Week 8”
