Awesome stuff.
What do you do for a living, if you don't mind me asking? This seems pretty time-consuming.
What kind of background do you have in statistics, particularly sports statistics? Just wondering how someone can become so immersed and seemingly proficient in this, it's fascinating, really.
Also, I'm a bit curious about your connections to LSU hoops. I've always been impressed with your in-depth knowledge of the team, to go with a passion for the program that it desperately needs.

I do some accounting work for a construction company. I am a very quick and efficient worker. When I work, I work my arse off, when I don't work, I do things like this. I was able to do this pretty quickly. I already keep spreadsheets of stats so its just copy and pasting formulas to make this work.

I have a bs and ms in finance. I took 2 PhD classes when I was thinking about getting my PhD in finance; financial research and math for economist. Both of these really helped my skills in statistics and using equations.

My late father and I would go to games since I can remember. I continued my love. In 2007 (Spring of my Freshman year) I worked at the PMAC setting up and tearing down for basketball games. Besides that, I have always loved stats. People can see whatever they want about players, but stats do not lie. So using stats has been something thatI have always loved.
