But, it's an alligator mouth (thats what my elementary school teachers always said!).

<, you were diagnosed with alligator mouth back in your elementary school days?  Shouldn't you be getting medical help for that condition?

Randolph-Macon escapes again, 68-63.  The emus had a two point lead with about two minutes to go but the poise of the Jackets again got them through.

Did not see the game.  The R-TD was pretty critical of R-M's play, as was Rhoades' quotes.  Glad to see that freshman go ballistic, though.

It's early in the season, but I will say that, to date, I don't think we are as good as we are pegged to be. . . . yet.

hasanova -

your formula describes the three point shot: energy/circumference + velocity and trajectory + rotation = speed that determines distance over which sphere travels and with exactly the correct amount of force and acceleration. The results are a made 3 point shot.

78rmc,
You are right.  Thanks.  I've made the change in the list, but everyone who has made a pick already should review to see if they want to switch to NNA.   

Do the gurus who already picked VWC over CNU get any bonus points for correctly "predicting" the outcome of that matchup?

Why treat it when you can make money off of it at circuses?!

Hassanova,

I'll take a shot!

M (from Einstein's Theory of Relativity)

Euler's Number (better known as e)

r squared is all I came up with - No clue, but I assume it's radius squared!

y

x

m (mass)

He shoots - it rolls around the rim and it drops through - he scores!  lol  In order: yes - m; yes - e; so close, but r² also equals "rr"; yes- y, yes - x, yes - mass ..... so,

Merry Xmas(s) to you!

Sounds good, lol, but I had a more seasonal message in mind - see Brian Hamilton's analysis and my response in Posts 1072-1073.  Happy Holidays!

hasanova - that's terrific. Congratulations to Brian Hamilton. As always and at this time of the year, I have basketball on the brain, so I naturally thought........

Well, it is a basketball forum - I need to follow Coach Coleman's instructions and stay on topic!  lol  Now, let me ponder your hypothesis on a made three-pointer ...  let's see ... a² + b² = c², so the angle of the dangle at the point of release times the rotation speed squared will be ...  lol

Hassanova et. al,

I am currently attempting to determine the best way to celebrate and am in the process of writing an acceptance speech.  I will get back with you on that.

As far as basketball and equations, I would recommend using a parabolic equation to mimic the trajectory of a basketball.  They are commonly used to determine length of time and distance that a football would travel.  The direction would be a little harder though and may require dabbling into vectors and physics.  I think I have thought too much and will now refrain from using math above a 3rd grade level when analyzing basketball.

I am not a physicist, but I believe you are on the right parabolic track.  One of my majors was Math, so I'm sure about what I gave you so far.    Now, as far as your acceptance speech goes, why not do both the yin and the yang of >, the poster formerly known as STH?  Confused?  Allow me to explain.  First, "less is more," which is the absolute opposite of >'s style.  Second, go with the power of >.  Therefore, I give you your acceptance speech: 

i>y'all[/size]

A simple mathematical truth that unequivocably states your superiority.
Purple to signify your holy status and god-like aura (a god, not the God). 
Finally, it pays a dutiful and respectful homage to the ODAC's southern roots.

Get back to me.
