it's not "apples-to-oranges"

"[Team X] is shooting way above their season average tonight."

That's comparing a single game to the season average.

This is no different.

poll: Will Gates finish above or below KA's average of 2.7 - zounami MU - 2/2 14:22:56

below, 3 conf. wins is looking highly unlikely right now(nm) - Fire Marshall Bill MU - 2/2 14:42:26

Agreed, and thank you... I was starting to think this board - zounami MU - 2/2 14:46:20

He can lose every game and be at 5.5 - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/2 14:24:51

Can you read?... It clearly says "this season" at the end. (nm) - zounami MU - 2/2 14:25:17

Don't these people wanting an apples to apples comparison - hou4mu MU - 2/2 15:12:32

No. there are key differences - hou4mu MU - 2/2 15:36:51

teams/players often get compared to a conference or - zounami MU - 2/2 15:42:26

many believe wutang is a paid operative of the AD (nm) - zounami MU - 2/2 14:50:03

So you can average out KAs seasons but not Gates?... - BandG MU - 2/2 14:28:27

Yes. Will *this season* be above KA's average? (nm) - zounami MU - 2/2 14:28:59

At the end of this season his average will at minimum - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/2 14:40:54

he's not asking for Gates' average at Mizzou - Yellow Weasel MU - 2/2 14:48:03

Because his comparison makes so much sense - meatiger MU - 2/2 15:03:58

Stop trying to justify Gate's performance this year - Radical Tiger MU - 2/2 21:17:35

That’s funny. (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/2 21:32:47

There's nothing wrong with comparing a single season... - zounami MU - 2/2 15:07:03

Not when it comes to strategy - meatiger MU - 2/2 15:12:19

Trends?.. Ok. How is Gates' season 1 to season 2 trajectory? - zounami MU - 2/2 15:23:12

Looks like crap - meatiger MU - 2/2 15:26:56

but, my predictions have been spot on... - zounami MU - 2/2 15:30:00

"very close losses" lol(nm) - meatiger MU - 2/2 15:31:55

yes, did you follow that season?... - zounami MU - 2/2 15:38:49

Yes I did, and I went to the bowl game - meatiger MU - 2/2 15:44:27

an 11-2 Top 10 finish culminating in a win over Ohio State. - zounami MU - 2/2 15:49:55

exactly... it's not complicated (nm) - zounami MU - 2/2 14:49:36

no but it does require going to the jump page - Yellow Weasel MU - 2/2 14:50:30

you mean, clicking the post to read the body of it? (nm) - zounami MU - 2/2 14:54:28

yup(nm) - Yellow Weasel MU - 2/2 15:00:56

WGAF...This year means nothing...it will be the next... - BandG MU - 2/2 14:33:26

I understand the sentiment because its clear that nothing - Yellow Weasel MU - 2/2 14:53:53

Unless it makes donors that fund NIL - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/2 14:57:12

as long as "NIL" $ isn't siphoned away from the FB program - zounami MU - 2/2 15:02:55

...which I think DRF might try to do, since Gates was her - zounami MU - 2/2 15:03:46

that's paranoid - Yellow Weasel MU - 2/2 15:04:54

perhaps, but DRF knows she'll be held accountable for Gates - zounami MU - 2/2 15:07:53

she didn't get to be an AD at an SEC school - Yellow Weasel MU - 2/2 15:10:11

she will be desperate to prop up Gates as much as she can... - zounami MU - 2/2 15:24:14

that's your speculation - Yellow Weasel MU - 2/2 15:25:47

we agree that she will be most interested in keeping her job - zounami MU - 2/2 15:27:27

disagree - Yellow Weasel MU - 2/2 15:31:32

we'll have to agree to disagree... AD's are held accountable - zounami MU - 2/2 15:32:36

tell that to Mike Alden - Yellow Weasel MU - 2/2 15:33:33

Alden hired Gary Pinkel, Quin Snyder, and Mike Anderson... - zounami MU - 2/2 15:40:58

Pinkel yes. - Yellow Weasel MU - 2/2 15:44:38

Quin & MA both reached the Elite 8... Haith averaged 25 wins - zounami MU - 2/2 15:51:04

and how did they leave the program? - Yellow Weasel MU - 2/2 15:55:47

Gates hasn’t gone winless in conference play (nm) - haeffb MU - 2/2 15:52:21

currently winless, on track to finish with a Kim Anderson- - zounami MU - 2/2 15:54:13

I was speaking only of 2025 - Yellow Weasel MU - 2/2 15:02:03

True. Every season matters, when it comes to recruiting and - zounami MU - 2/2 14:55:22

Some of us have already made up our mind - haeffb MU - 2/2 14:34:26

Apparently last year isn't used as evidence either. Nm - BandG MU - 2/2 14:39:52

Calm down and take ur meds Sue!!(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 2/2 14:26:29

well, he had 11 last year so the worst he can avg is - TigerA MU - 2/2 14:24:29

Can you read?... It clearly says "this season" at the end. (nm) - zounami MU - 2/2 14:24:57

I agree(nm) - TigerA MU - 2/2 14:25:46

so the problem isn't reading, but reading comprehension (nm) - zounami MU - 2/2 14:26:21

Or just a dumb pointless question(nm) - meatiger MU - 2/2 14:27:05

stupid questions get stupid answers(nm) - TigerA MU - 2/2 14:27:02

Lash out!! Fury!!(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 2/2 14:26:48

haha, this question really triggered Gates' fanboys (nm) - zounami MU - 2/2 14:28:33

Ur the only one triggered here champ - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 2/2 14:31:42

you're proving my point (nm) - zounami MU - 2/2 14:41:31

Lol no(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 2/2 14:45:37

that's my favorite reply. just b/c people don't think - TigerA MU - 2/2 14:29:43

Yes. (nm) - haeffb MU - 2/2 14:24:19
