An Update in Friendly Letter Form

Dear Readers,

I promise, folks, I'm trying to keep up with my Mission. But at work...think of it as the end of the season. This week is like the conference championship game (oh, I'm sorry conferences like the PAC-10, Big Ten, and Big East. You haven't the foggiest about those). It's a quiet time publicly but lots of work is going in to getting ready. From next week until April it's like the bowl practice season. Again, not much is going on the fans can see, but it's a heap of work on the team's end.

That's partly why my posts have been sparse of late. Also, I'm working on a rather large statistical project to test a commonly held theory among fans regarding the optimum number of years a coach should stay at one school. It'll probabbly be next weekend before my research is complete, and then I'll have to analyze the data. I'm quite excited about this project and will share my results as soon as possible.

Luckily, I have a backlog of writing to post until I get back on a good writing schedule. In the recent past, I wrote a profile of every FBS program and will put those to good use in the coming weeks. Since they'll be posted alphabetically, our first installment will feature Arizona State.

'Til tomorrow,
The Football Missionary
