So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words, I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters
...BYE FAR THEIR BEST WORK ON MORE LEVELS THAN MOST REALIZE...

I've really gotten into BEYOND THE REALMS OF DEATH this year and this live beauty of DIAMONDS and RUST (2006)!
Always love how they go nuts in back half of song ....wow...need a slowdown song once in a while like Nothing Else Matters and this one
I overplayed Maiden in 20's-30's ...will come back to it ...BRUCE D. is amazing but ALFORD tops him

That's pretty cool ....best part HU HU HU chants /Mongolia vibe..we heard those last year when Hoo was on a roll with Army and Indiana !
This song gets me back in the vibe though I no longer drink so I have to see if it still claims #1 spot as it currently does, for my all-time. Last year it supplanted Judas Priest Delivering the Goods
SEPULTURA from Brazil - old Jane's Addiction song that is pretty epic in its own way but this band takes it to a 9.9/10
Enjoy

Bass player sounds like Geddy Lee's style....ya, that refreshes my memory...great sound
Geddy and Steve Harris ....2 of the cream of the crop for sure!
Watch Working Man ....starts like Police song with Caribbean vibe and then OMG ....does this kick in with bass
Cleveland live ...I know Lifeson best but have met Geddy ...Jeff Healey and Alex were friends and Jeff and I had great times
Watch him and Geddy work it ....holy f // these guys are over 60! EPIC beyond ...crowd cannot believe it

Hey General, how ya doing?
This thread will morph into a 2025 SP+ Analysis thread most likely BUT I NEED DATA so likely won't be too frisky with pick selections for 2 weeks ....will do another thread of a play or two I like that week
Once the data comes in for 3 weeks, I live it strongly for the rest of the season and some bowl mismatches if teams are serious...and playoffs.
Feel free to drop by...we think similarly and seem to find the game that we love is similar haha...I find but the past couple of years we seem to favor opposites so looking forward to your plays GENERAL.

Scroll down ....what I feel has proven over two prior seasons that they can indicate where teams will potentially settle with their ratings of OFF /DEF and their subsequent rank
ESPN SP+ has been strong at predicting top 6 last year and top 10 previous year fairly close .... but within the 30-100 ranking percentile, you can find them changing their numbers to reflect things happening as the season goes to help with SOME plays ...but Spottie, I really press come PLAYOFF TIME and in Nov - Dec

^^ I also now chart spreads and game results and patterns in lines or going to attempt to

All I look for is consistency in data....and have watched Vegas align with Sagarin and Massey in basketball but it was not helpful.... for NCAAF ... Sagarin ratings close to the Top 25 but not always...I want my own so yes, I have compared 2023 beginning to end, and 2024 beginning that I am going to simulate week by week and the lines associated ....look for patterns and now that we have a BEGINNING for 2025........voila... look for patterns in past years to see how SP+ changes this year with lines and perhaps, occasionally exploit

WOW, i just inputted the 2025 SP+ off/def rankings beside last year's list and teams how they finished and you know what.....
I think I have stumbled upon something to exploit...... record is synonymous with Off - Def ratio that corresponds with likely finishing record!
And here is the other part.....I can figure out how a team will likely do based on the Aug 14th release of ESPN's SP+ final pre-season ranking. I believe, based on what I just looked at, every team with a significantly better defense than offense did very well and if their defense was 15 ranks higher than their Off ranking from preseason Rank 25th-75th, that was enough for a bowl invite and in some cases, a good bowl invite based on their record.
There were 10 teams in this instance.
Those teams record for winning seasons > 10 - 0 winning record (7-6 was worst, 8-5 was 2nd worst ....all the rest are higher win totals!!)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conversely, when I look for Offensive teams with a defense 18 ranks worse than their offense,....... I get the following result:
In ranks 25th - 75th >> 17 teams like this >> winning records = 1 - 16 record!! >> LIBERTY was the only team with a winning record and they did not improve their defense or offense.....so an outlier basically / good timing in their games or weak division/schedule!
Do you jive what I am dishing to you and know what to do with it??
