Re: Naters Gonna Nate

I dont think those state counts are very accurate. I voted from 2 different computers 1 home 1 work and it says I think 23 people from SD have voted. My guess is we have a lot more then that just from this site who voted from SD. except the 1 guy who is a Machado fan.

Coyote Fan strikes again!

Nates up by 7% on Canaan this morning.

I gotta be honest, I don't see how.

41 states are blue (Canaan), 3 are purple (Wolters), 3 are gray (3 way tie), 1 is yellow (Ware), and 2 are red (Lillard). Internationally 60% of votes are Canaan.

Canaan has a considerably higher percentage than anyone in all of his states...yet Wolters is up. Not that I'm complaining, but based on what I'm seeing, it doesn't seem right.

And about the troll....I don't understand why people are feeding him.

I agree the state-by-state numbers are baffling. Exit polls maybe?
This is not directed at you, Rowdy, but I promised my high school stat teacher I'd fight back every time I saw this creep into calculations. Nate was up 7 at the time, right? Assuming it was 41-34 or something close to that>? If so, he was up 7 percentage points but actually up by 17 percent

(41-34=7/41) ..

There, I did my duty. On with the discussion.

(Biggest offenders on this, BTW, are broadcasters who have created generations of statistical indifference among listeners and viewers.)

Re: Naters Gonna Nate

To test the system a little, I voted 5 times in a row (friends from Chicago taught me) and the state count when the cursor was placed on SD, remained at something like 16. Heck, I've voted 16 times myself over the past few days.

Do you have an espn account our insider account? I wonder if that changes the state numbers. Either way Wolters is awesome.

Re: Naters Gonna Nate

Just read some of the prior posts and didn't realize the connection with espn accounts. I think I do have an espn account but was not signed on using it.

You got me Anal Analson!

Percentage points, that's what I was referring to, correct.

Yeah, I didn't think of that, but that's probably what is going on with the numbers.....I wasn't signed in either.

Re: Naters Gonna Nate

Bob Valvano, one of the ESPN guys covering our game tomorrow, was featured on Terry V's podcast today. In getting into the Nate Wolters topic they related Nate to Jermey Lin - Bob said (and I'm paraphrasing) "Jeremy Lin refined his skills for 4 years and is now having great success in the NBA. Lin wasn't drafted - Nate's going to be be drafted." He said it very matter-of-factly - like there was no doubt about it.

Check it out - Terry's response ("Wow") was funny.

The piece I'm talking about is just short of the halfway point. Bob's offers up both the Lin comparison and he thinking Nate will get drafted. Pretty impressive I thought.

The entire interview is worth taking the time to listen to. Bob offers up some great insight on what this means for SDSU and Jackrabbit basketball.

I'd say Lin then Tebow.... but at least the top is right

Nate and Lin are talented. Tebow is just... odd. He doesn't belong in that conversation.

maybe if nate and lin were doing things incorrectly, and looking horrible while doing it, for 3 quarters...then having luck place victory into his hands again. (and yes, he does make a few place, I'm not a hater) Makes no sense to me.

Re: Naters Gonna Nate

Lets do some voting people

http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/post...-college-hoops

Bump. Voting still going on. Nate is still ahead but Canaan has been closing the gap. During the Michigan vs. Ohio State, this poll got mentioned and Jay Bilas gave his take on all of the players.

FYI, I'm watching the Long Beach St/Creighton game, and the poll was shown and Nate was in the lead.

Re: Naters Gonna Nate

I just voted. Nate is leading by 2% overall. He leads in ND, SD and MN. The guy from Murray leads in all of the other states except Utah.
