Prime 47 has the best steak I've had in Indy but eating there feels so weird bc I only know it as an obnoxiously loud and crowded bar that NFL personnel used to hang out at and it's hard to get that out of my head. What are tables doing here? Chairs? People wearing silk vests??

Tom Bliss@DataWithBliss
With the college football returning, here is how Power 4 conferences would look if they were created purely to minimize the average distance between teams (17 teams per conf). Avg distance between teams in same conference: - Current: 787 miles - Optimal: 479 miles

Right, but can’t we realign it so that the Clippers have to be in the same pod with the Pacers, Celtics and Heat or is that only a college sports brain rot thing?

@DataWithBliss What if they did 4 divisions of 8 like the NHL

During SB Week in the SF Bay Area, I had the pleasure of working an @InspireChange event where Skyler Fulton & I walked students through Combine drills/data. As an Oakland native, it was a dream to give back to students from my community by sharing both my profession & passion.

Dawn was amazing for our football data team. Constantly connecting dots, leveraging analytical tools and ideas, and balancing statistical vs practical impact. Excited for her next steps
