The little I have been told is that I need to compile stats from half of the games this season... another student is doing the other half. Then using the stats we compile I believe my professor, as well as his co-author is going to try to develop an offensive production function that relates different variables such as weather, and pass to run ratios to show what is the best strategy for given situations in an NFL football game. My professor is a sports economics genius so I can't wait to see the final product, and hopefully get my name in the textbook!03/06/08

Where was I?

Ok so its been about 1 week since my last, (first and only) blog entry. I left off just giving a brief explanation of what I had planned on doing with my blog and a little background into who I was. So now a brief update on what the last week has been like.School
I had two midterms last Thursday which I really had a hard time studying for and it probably cost me on my Advanced Accounting midterm. I just really find that class boring, confusing and hard to study for. Fortunately for me, the professor is a really cool guy who I've had for a few other classes, and I don't forsee him giving me a bad grade in the class, as long as I put a little more effort into doing well in the class. The other midterm (Computer Ethics) went pretty well I thought, but I'm not really sure how hard he grades. We will see. Now I am currently on spring break, yet still at school doing research on the NFL for my economics professor who is writing a textbook on the NFL. This research is so monotonous and boring I have fell behind a bit, and will be working on it well into March. Other than that I have been trying to just relax.
Partying
As you can expect I haven't really partied in a while since everyone is gone from campus. However, I did go home on Monday to have a few drinks with my cousins, and one of my friends from way back stopped by, and it was cool to see him. Hopefully, this weekend will be a little more exciting.
Poker
I have been playing more tourney poker than I have in a long time, since I have a lot of free time at night now. I really wanted to make an effort over this week to play as much tourney poker as I could since after break I won't have a lot of time to dedicate to tournaments at night. I have always been a more successful tournament player than cash game player, so I hoped focusing on tournaments would reap some rewards. Unfortunately, I have been basically treading water. A few cashes but nothing to get excited about. I feel I have been playing pretty well, probably a little too tight for my A game but definetly no worse than my B game, probably my B+ or A- game. Hopefully, I start running a little better in the later stages of the guarantee tourneys since I really havent been having much success in them. Also, I think reading Bond18's blogs will help me be more aware of the mistakes I may have made in the past, and some of the leaks in my game.
Hopefully I will be bringing a brag blog soon about a decent tourney score.
Until then, I hope to blog about twice a week, and keep you all updated on my adventures... couldn't think of a better word there.
That's all for now,
Foulky
