As always, the comments were not really about the posted article, but just more of the same MSU vs Ann Arbor banter.<br /><br />Dear derogatory misspelled screen name guy,<br /><br /> While we can debate the semantics of the term "dominate", I thought the following factual statistical data would be enlightening and less subjective.<br /> Below is the Spartans winning percentage and margin of loss/victory in consecutive 5-year rolling averages vs. Ann Arbor. 5-year increments is relevant since most players, who complete eligibility, are in the program for ideally 5-seasons after signing day.<br /><br />Years W% MoV<br />02-06 0.0000 -16.4 (ouch!!!)<br />03-07 0.0000 -8.0 <br />04-08 0.2000 -3.8<br />05-09 0.4000 -1.0<br />06-10 0.6000 +3.0<br />07-11 0.8000 +9.4<br />08-12 0.8000 +9.8<br /><br />That is what you call a real trend. It's not a feeling or a hope or projection or a put down or a troll lob of a bomb. It is an actual statistically significant trend. (I know you can throw out the 134 years of data. We have all seen that a million times - I'm talking current TREND - data analysis of which you may have not been aware.) Until statistical results compile over time to reverse this trend, it IS the CURRENT TREND.<br /><br />If you like this kind of hard core data analysis, MSUSpartan has posted Part II on "The Myth of the Widening Recruiting Gap" at http://spartanresource.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-myth-of-widening-recruiting-gap_12.html return2gloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10627394589459313945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160896203399392588.post-44005307994548493932013-07-13T12:29:33.689-04:002013-07-13T12:29:33.689-04:00SM82 - You have a way with words.

It is so sensible.<br /> <br />MSU76, Congrats on you first post already rising to #7 on the all-time most viewed posts! Excellent work. We may have to hire a translator.<br /><br />A-Town's first post is about to crack the top 10 any day.<br /><br />It would be great to have an email conversation with SM82, MSU76, and ATown, then edit it down to something "post-able". I think it would be really entertaining and informative for BEATchUMps readers. Three smart guys talking Spartans sports. Just a thought...return2gloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10627394589459313945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160896203399392588.post-30303551046340279152013-07-12T22:24:40.825-04:002013-07-12T22:24:40.825-04:00Fantastic information from these stats!
The last ...Fantastic information from these stats!<br /><br />The last chart where you analyze the score differential over five-year rolling periods is especially awesome. That paints a picture of what it has felt like, and what it looked like to me when I was checking the scores recently.<br /><br />This is the type of thing that Coach Dantonio feels on a daily basis, as he has not only experienced it (with us), he has created it (for us). It's that type of daily reality that occasionally slips through with a comment like "Where's the threat"...to him, it really feels like that, and but for a field goal missed/made, it would feel like that to everybody else right now as well.<br /><br />This statistical presentation quantifies our belief that our MSU Football team will bounce back well this year after so many close losses last season. Thanks for the breakdown!<br />American Reporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053609741082503574noreply@blogger.com
