Interesting coin toss data, wonder if our staff knows this.

It's not worth knowing to be honest

that coins land on the same side they were tossed from around 51 percent of the time.

So it's never landed on an edge?

I find that hard to believe

So let's say that this comes in to play a total of 4 times this year (we have four true road games).

.508 * 4 = 2.032

So just calling heads four times in a row gives you an expected outcome of 2 wins and 2 losses.

Seeing what it's starting on and calling that four times in a row gives you an expected outcome of... 2 wins and 2 losses.

You'd have to have 30+ opportunities to call the coin flip before this difference would matter, and even then you may get 16 wins and 14 losses.

It's 2023

Shouldn't we let the coin choose what side is heads or tails

Don’t care…. ALWAYS defer if you win the toss

More info, more data, more knowledge of what type of game it is, 3rd qtr more important than 1st, etc etc etc

And specifically for this LSU team, we don’t start fast anyway, so why waste a possession when we know it’s probably gonna be a slow start again

Whether I’m behind at the half or ahead at the half…. I want the ball to start the second half. I don’t give a shite who has the ball to start the game.

Kelly needs to stop asking for the ball first

why? Our offense is the best in the country and our and is the worst.

Put your best unit on the field first. Why the hell would we put our D out there knowing we’ll probably give up a score?

Take the ball, score, and take the momentum.

With heads, you get head after the game

Electing to receive Saturday was a stupid, stupid decision by the Tigers. And this team predictably started with a three-&-out. I fealt a real spasm of quease when that happened
