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”

Union Omaha Milestone Appearances
Over the course of this season many USL Championship and League One teams have been recognizing the milestone achievements of their players making appearances wearing that club’s shirt. Dallas Jaye for Greenville is one example of a player that hit an appearance milestone, not only for Greenville, but for all of League One. This gotContinue reading “Union Omaha Milestone Appearances”
Data Dump: NE Revs II
If “Greg Hurst is on fire” isn’t still ringing in your ears or running through your head, are you really living right? While it is VERY tempting to give the hat trick hero all three bullet points in this column, I’m going to restrain myself. Somehow, other interesting things happened as well in the gameContinue reading “Data Dump: NE Revs II”
USL League One Predictions: Week 11
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”
USL League One Ratings: 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”

Data Dump: at Madison (#2)
In our first game against Madison, it seemed like we wanted them to have the majority of possession, but we looked terrible in making that happen. 12 days later, it sure seemed like we did a MUCH better job of executing that plan. I didn’t anticipate us having 30.1% of the possession, but I lovedContinue reading “Data Dump: at Madison (#2)”
Data Dump: at Toronto FC II (Arizona Edition)
I’ll be honest, this game was 9 days ago but it feels like A LOT longer ago than that. This was match 6 of our season, but the result we got from match 7 made our draw in the desert feel a lot better. We have a few things to unpack from this match soContinue reading “Data Dump: at Toronto FC II (Arizona Edition)”
USL League One Ratings: Week 10 (First Publication)
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)”
