Why would Hendrix go through spring practice if it's official that he's transferring? Having a malcontent around the program wouldn't have any upside for UT.

If he is 100% going to transfer, and there is no chance to flip him back, the coaches won't/shouldn't let him work out or practice. He would essentially just be any other student at UT.

How this progresses will be interesting

The whole processing thing is difficult, but how else can it be? You bring in 30+ in a class. After a season, it becomes apparent that some can, some can't, some won't, and some crash and burn. The best 20+ move to the next level, and the others move on. Next year, you repeat the cycle. Survival of the fittest. Hard, but reality. Only 85 spots, and the best will fill them. The key is to love the them all, treat with respect, and help them find places that they can excel.

Then should he pay his own way? He's not fulfilling his end of the spring semester obligation.

Lol I'm watching it on TV, I don't know how to link from the bar tv

Edit also watch Russell Wilson embarrass Okafor and Cromartie. Lots of fun highlight runs from the seahawks tonight.

Sunday night nerdiness...

I ran a correlation matrix for all of the SEC teams' win percentages since 1990 (minus A&M and Missouri).

Here it is...

And here's the highest and lowest correlations for each team...

My takeaway is that South Carolina is our bellwether school. When I first did this in 2012, I kind of got a sick feeling because I didn't think there was really a good chance of Dooley beating Spurrier.

Then enter Butch. As much as beating Florida this year would have been nice, beating South Carolina in back to back years is just huge as far as I'm concerned.

Anyways, the full-nerdiness is here.

South Carolina is passing the torch back to UT. They had a nice run in our absence in the East, but their time is over.

I is confuse.

But seriously, if USC represents our "lowest correlation" why do you deem them our bellweather?

Correlations range from 1 to -1. A value of 1 means the relationships are the same. 0 means there is no relationship. -1 means they have the exact opposite relationship.

South Carolina is the team that has the closest value to -1 when compared to UT's winning percentage.

When UT is good, South Carolina is bad, and vice versa.
