A&M backs out of home and home versus Oregon

[tlongII]

http://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/index.ssf/2014/10/report_texas_am_wont_play_oreg.html#incart_m-rpt-1

The long-awaited football series between the Texas A&M Aggies and Oregon Ducks is off.

Aggies athletic director Eric Hyman exercised a clause in the series contract that could void the agreement if the Aggies switched conferences, FOX Sports reported Thursday, and Texas A&M moved from the Big 12 to SEC in 2012.

Craig Pintens, Oregon senior associate athletic director for communications and marketing, confirmed Thursday afternoon that Texas A&M withdrew from the series via its change-of-conference clause.

"We are disappointed in Texas A&M's decision," Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens said in a statement. "We want to continue to provide marquee non-conference matchups for our fans. Scheduling is very difficult and when a team cancels a game we need to work even harder to find a suitable replacement."

The series was scheduled in 2009 as a top non-conference opponent for each school but with the Ducks' continued success, combined with A&M's rise in popularity behind coach Kevin Sumlin and Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Johnny Manziel -- a former Oregon recruit -- the series rose to marquee status.

One of the architects of the series was then-A&M athletic director Bill Byrne, who was also Oregon's athletic director from 1982-92.

It isn't the first time the Aggies have backed out of a series with a premier Pac-12 opponent. In 2013, one year after he took over as AD in College Station, Hyman opted out of a 2015-16 series with USC -- a deal that also had been reached in 2009 -- citing the uncertainty of switching to the SEC.

With the Aggies off the schedule, the Ducks' only non-conference opponent on the books for 2018 is Bowling Green, with Nevada in 2019, per fbschedules.com.

The Ducks retain high-profile home-and-home matchups with Nebraska (2016 and 2017) and Ohio State (2020 and 2021).

:lol Aggy

[DesignatedT]

Typical scheduling conflict. A&M realized they only have three conference games at home in year 2018 and asked Oregon to flip locations/years in '18/'19 to gain another home game for season ticket holders. Oregon declined so A&M dropped. A&M will add another top program to the schedule to take the place of Oregon in the coming days.



Texas A&M has replaced Oregon with Clemson as a high-profile home-and-home opponent for the 2018 and 2019 seasons, the schools announced Thursday night.

SMH djohn. You should be banned from the college forum for a week.


:lmao

Just...wow.


You choose defense first so you can stop them and then win with a TD. Youre guaranteed to get the ball back no matter what. In the NFL they do sudden death so only a fucking retard would choose defense first.

What stats, retard? :rollin

For regular season play, we need to take into account average time per possession. In 2013, this is 2:34, meaning we expect only about 3 drives per team before the 15-minute overtime period ends in a tie. Therefore, a more realistic probability distribution is:
http://i1.wp.com/harvardsportsanalysis.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/NFL-Overtime-6.png?zoom=1.5&resize=604%2C41 (http://i1.wp.com/harvardsportsanalysis.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/NFL-Overtime-6.png)
Using identical sums as the infinite overtime model, the probability of the receiving team losing is .446, the probability of the receiving team winning is .507, and the probability of a tie is .047.

http://harvardsportsanalysis.org/2014/01/modeling-nfl-overtime-as-a-markov-chain/

Let me know if you have trouble comprehending.

[FkLA]

:lmao You god damn retard. You realize college football overtime is not 15 minutes long, right? You realize the rules behind it are completely different?

And if your retarded ass could comprehend what that says you'd also know that choosing defense first in the NFL makes no sense. The probability of the receiving team winning is .507, the probability of the receiving team losing is .446. Which number is greater, retard? You just keep providing retard gems and are too retarded to realize it.

Dunning-Kruger Effect: Unskilled individuals tend to suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than is accurate. In unskilled individuals, this bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their ineptitude.

It apparently does make sense, there is not a big enough disadvantage to say it doesn't.

[FkLA]

You go with the higher probability, retard. It doesn't matter if the difference is 'only' 6%...why would you bet on the lower probability? Take statistics out of it and just use common sense and it becomes even more clear. Why give them the ball and a chance to score to win the game when you can have the chance to do the same first?

Yet you'll sit there with a straight face and claim you went to UT. Fucking UTSA flunkout. :lol

Or you'll say shit like 'Let me know if you have trouble comprehending'. :lol

Because most drives in overtime (opening drives ) end up not scoring. (2013)

After a kickoff, drives end with the following frequencies (all stats from www.pro-football-reference.com (http://www.pro-football-reference.com/)):
Defensive TD: .020
Safety: .001
No Score: .661
FG: .118
TD: .200

[FkLA]

So instead of taking the ball and that 31.8% chance of scoring a game-winning TD/FG you give them the ball and the 31.8% chance of winning the game? 31.8% is greater than the 0% chance you'd have if you choose defense dumbfuck.

lol UTSA flunkout

Its clear that you don't know how to interpret these stats and graphs so why even post them? If you weren't such a retard you'd realize these stats you are posting are actually destroying your own argument.

lol Dunning-Kruger

[djohn2oo8]

Fact is even for an elite offense it is hard to go 80 yards for a touchdown, which is likely what you will have to do to win the game that way. Teams starting at their own 20 score a touchdown only about 16 percent of the time.

Throw in the fact the risk-averse coaches know they can still kick a field goal, and it’s not the obviously favorable scenario it may have once been in pure sudden death. Yet we have seen every single coach take the ball first this year.


How much good has that really done? This table shows the game flow in overtime in 2012. Obviously the team winning the coin toss and receiving had the ball on drives 1, 3 and 5. The opponent had it on drives 2, 4 and 6. “GW” means game-winning.

College Rules-you play defense first because you want to know what your team has to meet or exceed. A bunch of questions like...do I have to go for it on 4th down...can I tie with a field goal...can I win with a field goal...do I have to score a touchdown....all these questions (and many many more) are answered for you...just simply by choosing to go on defense first.

Pro Rules- It has changed over the past few years. (Key thing is an opening drive field goal doesn't end the game now...i.e. the Peyton rule) Even with the changes...you always choose offense first. If you score a touchdown on your opening drive...game is over. dumbjohn...you're the kind of guy who kicks off in pro overtime and the other team runs the kickoff back. And you go home a loser.....

I can recall the great Bill Belicheat...choosing to go on defense first one game (it was windy as fuck). He took the wind and gave the other team the ball...however...it worked for him. The Pats still won. I remember people (it maybe dumb btw) saying that Bill should be fired. And this guy has rings in the trophy case. Because NOBODY chooses defense first in the pros....

[Silver&Black]

You don't know how to interpret those stats, retard. There is a reason 99.9% of coaches choose offense first. But I'm sure in your little retarded brain it's just bc they aren't as smart as you.

lol Dunning-Kruger

It's not 99.9% this year....it's 100%. Look at dumbjohn's dumbass stats. He obviously didn't read the line:

"Yet we have seen every single coach take the ball first this year."

Guess me, you, and EVERY NFL coach isn't on dumbjohn's level.

Still got you dummies going around in circles. It historically has not been a big advantage to get the ball first in the pros. With a small percentage winning the game after receiving the ball first and still not ending the game on the opening drive. Christ :lol

I'm at a loss......

^Dunning-Kruger Effect: Unskilled individuals tend to suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than is accurate. In unskilled individuals, this bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their ineptitude.




Or in words you can understand... you are too stupid to realize how stupid you are. I think it's beyond your control at this point--no way would someone continue to display this behavior on purpose tbh.

Low Probability >> No Probability

Just stare at that for a while and maybe you'll get it, dumbjohn.

who is to say how bad this could have been for the aggies. as bad as a&m has been this season i couldn't have made a prediction about future seasons.

You're a fucking dumbass dumbjohn. Plain and simple...a fucking dumbass who knows absolutely nothing about football strategy.

Like I've said a million times...this isn't a my team is better than your team arguement (which basically never has a winner). You're dead wrong...and I'm dead right. If you can't see that...you're just a moron who obviously has never seen a college or pro overtime game.

And don't try to change the subject either...now you're talking winning %'s not being that different. You said that in college you're a retard if you choose defense 1st....and that it is only acceptable in the pros. Both of those statements are so fucking stupid. I mean for Christ's sake...look at your own stats. 99% of pro coaches choose to get the ball first. Why is that moron? Your logic is beyond fucking belief. I mean I knew this shit when I was 13 years old....why can't you figure it out???

What we got is 2 major fan bases following teams going backwards. Add UTSA to the mix, as this is a board involving SA, and it's been dismal. So the line at this point is, wait'll next year. I think.

Honestly bro, I don't think it's a logic thing as much as it is stupidity on his part. He probably went out and researched those stats thinking he'd come off as smart and shit. Turns out he's just showing his stupidity by not being able to interpret them. A low probability to score a game-winning TD is better than no probability if you choose defense, and he can't grasp that simple concept apparently. Too bad he's not a humble retard or else I'd probably offer him a helping hand tbh.

that definitely seems to be the case this season.
