Ole Miss... The Kentucky of the SEC West.

[cujo]

Feels good being a notch above Florida

[gravedigger]

OM has 7 wins to make up to f'ing TIE for last place in the west? Mercy

[Quaoarsking]

Texas is also 30-21 over the last 4 years. Miami is 29-21.

We have more wins over the last 4 years than either Texas, Miami, or Florida.

[DawgSaint]

Not too bad considering we played nation's 4th toughest schedule last year

[drunkernhelldawg]

Cool way to look at in. In the hunt.

[dickiedawg]

One thing that pops out is just how much better the west has been than the east (against a tougher schedule).

The west is 243-120 (.669) over that time and the east is 205-154 (.571)

The other thing that pops out is Kentucky has just been flat-out bad.

Shouldn't this decade be 2011-2013? How would that adjust the "standings?"

[Coach34]

Shouldn't this decade be 201-2013 (tel:201-2013)? How would that adjust the "standings?"

No- 2000-2009 is 10 years

[BulldogBear]

No- 2000-2009 is 10 years

I know, but sometimes a decade or century is counted from the 1 instead of the 0. I prefer 2000-2009 instead of 2001-2010 anyway. It's less confusing.

I agree with this. Why should 1990 be in a decade with all the 80s?
But technically, the first decade, century, etc. all started with year 1, so there is a belief that all subsequent decades, etc. should start with 1 (otherwise the first decade only has 9 years)

[BulldogBear]

Just for S&G let's see where it all falls in SEC regular season games sans TAMU and Mizzou:

Alabama 26-6
LSU 25-7
South Carolina 23-9
Georgia 22-10
Auburn 19-13
Florida 17-15
Arkansas 14-18
Mississippi State 13-19
Vanderbilt 12-20
Tennessee 7-25 (beat Ole Miss in only H2H matchup)
Ole Miss 7-25
Kentucky 4-28


We move down in that but I'm loving that the most prestigious national football powerhouse in the nation is 13th

[gtowndawg]

Wasn't it number one like 2 years ago? Pretty impressive.

Caution: Tangent below.

Well, you answered your question. That's exactly why technically the decade started in 2011 and the new millennium started in 2001. If we're saying that 2000 was the start of the new millennium, then the first millennium was only 999 years long.

There's a wikipedia page about this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium#Viewpoint_1:_x001.E2.80.93y000

[Coach34]

wow- I didnt expect people to argue about decades. We're not going to the beginning of time- we are doing it by numbers.

the 1980's include 80-89- that 10 yr period.
The 1990's include 90-99.
The 2000's include 2000-09
and the 2010's include 2010-2019.

This isnt hard

Jesus Christ. So the initial starting point of all time is 1? What happened to all 00:00's on a stop watch? 0 is the starting point of all chronological counting be it minutrs, years , or ****ing wins in football. Before anything happens or any time takes place during a given period of time, everything starts at 0000000000000.0000000.

No. The first decade had 10 years. From 0-1 years is year one. You can't start at 1. From 0 to end of year 9 is 10 years. Where have some of you learned chronological mathematics? You don't start counting free throws and touchdowns after your first one. If that's the case your only have 9, when your stats showed 10. It's not very difficult to understand. I'm not many years graduated, but the things some of you guys just a few years younger than I, makes me fearful of what this nation's youth is going to bring about in the coming years.

ETA: this would be like an employer, starting your payable hours after some point into your work week. Since we start counting at 1, you only worked 39 hours this week. He it??

[dickiedawg]

So you're telling me there was a year 0? You just insulted my intelligence and the intelligence of basically every person younger that you (wth?) on a premise that is one HUNDRED percent wrong, making this, IMO, a hall of fame bad post.

And to hacker, I get that I answered my own question. The point is that I'm OK with including 1990, for example, in the decade with the rest of the 90's even though I know it's technically wrong.

[dickiedawg]

Let's use people's ages to illustrate why you're wrong. To simplify things, lets say you were born on January 1st, 2000.
The year 2000 is your first year. Does that mean you are one year old? No. Your first birthday starts your second year.*
When we say The Year 2014, that means the 2014th year of our calendar, not that our calendar is 2014 years old.

I will now await your apology with bated breath.


ETA: In China, children are said to be 1 when they're born. That is not relevant to this discussion.

"chronological mathematics"? wtf

Don't think about time on a clock starting at 12:00am in the same way as the first year being 1. It's just different. The first year was the first year and at the end of it we began year #2. At the end of the 10th year, we began year #11.

Your payable hours analogy doesn't really apply but i would say the first hour you work in a week adds up to the number 1. the 40th hour is 40. The first 10 hours you worked were hours 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. The second set of 10 hours: 11-20.

ETA: Also, I don't care that Coach technically didn't do the decade correctly. It really doesn't matter. I only replied because of the pompous attitude above.

Ditto.

Sorry fellas. I didn't mean to spark off a whole debate over dating, even if it is interesting.

I feel like an accidental ---> 510

hahaha, the whole point is that there was no year 0 - 1
