There is SO much to cover for this match that we don’t need a long rambling intro. Let’s dive in. 1) What does it mean that we lost to the best team in the league? It will take a few parts to unpack this particular statement, but let’s start with (A) the idea that ChattanoogaContinue reading “Data Dump: at Chattanooga”

Seems like just a few weeks ago we were playing Tucson at Tucson. Oh wait, we were actually. While I have no problems with an unbalanced schedule based on “proximity,” the rate at which we are facing these opponents is odd. I think it really accentuates the impact of these games by having them soContinue reading “Data Dump: at Tucson (#2)”

Sorry about the radio silence last week, but when the job you actually get paid for starts draining your energy it’s hard to participate in the job that you don’t get paid for. And putting together these Word Press grids are more cumbersome than you may imagine, so I’ve been dreading trying to write somethingContinue reading “USL League One Predictions: Week 20”

The original concept behind Data Dump was that I wanted some data to back up my assumptions about what I’d seen with my eyes. In large part this was because I don’t trust myself to make educated conclusions about what I’d seen. I only mention this because Saturday night was one of those nights. We’veContinue reading “Data Dump: North Texas (#1)”

Last week’s results around the league allowed for a whole lot of movement. Some of us, like myself, decided to noticeably not take advantage: Ben Jon Liam Luke Rich Riley Ryan North Carolina 4-0 Richmond 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 New England 1-0 Toronto 0 3 3 1 3 0 1 Chattanooga 1-1Continue reading “USL League One Predictions: Week 17”

So the action this past week was fairly exciting, even if some of the better matches this past week were just really, really interesting ways to get to a draw. That doesn’t do much for us in the ratings department, as you’ll see below: Rank Team Rating 1 Union Omaha (7-5-1) 2.104 2 Chattanooga RedContinue reading “USL League One Ratings: Week 17”
