    Get used to Trump*, it's probably how all history books will have to notate it.
    I heard he was shutting down all airlines as of Friday. Trump air will become the national airline of the US, like Amtrak of the skies.

      I think that it's a high probability that some UAA fans will chirp at this post.

            And I think it's a high probability that you have too much time on your hands.

            "According to NCAA, the (UAF) hockey team used ineligible players in every game played from the 2007-08 season to the 2010-11 season. Over that span, the wins and ties will all become losses. 4 wins and 2 ties came against rival UAA".

            UAF is 56-86-12 vs. UAA.

                  Keep up the great work Geof! As a math guy, it is fun to see how numbers are appied to try and predict what will happen (same thing happens in the futures markets and weather predicting). It is just that, a prediction, and what happened last weekend is why they play the games.

                    I always want more data to run through the model and then also evaluate the model.

                          I'm very much fine with this being a hobby. The views at work are pretty nice.

                            That's completely unfair. That model had a wide band for nominal error. Polling is always a fraught enterprise, and the main way to make it better — throwing more money at it to increase the sample size —*has all sorts of associated problems. FiveThirtyEight got the primaries wrong but stuck to the numbers for the general. Any statistical model is only as good as its inputs, and while the national models were pretty on, the state models were not.

                              His book, " The Signal and the Noise" is very good reading for math geeks like you.

                                So with BSU pulling the home playoff games off of TV, the discussion of ticket prices has come up. Here is what I was able to gather from the various athletic websites around the league. I am not including any "premium" games or fees that may be charged.

                                BSU: 45, 30, 25, 18 (12 youth)
                                Alabama-Huntsville: 13, 8
                                Alaska: 19, 11
                                Alaska-Anchorage: 23.75, 19.50, 10
                                Bowling Green: 20, 15, 13
                                Ferris State: 16 (10 youth)
                                Lake Superior State: 12 (6 youth)
                                Mankato: 16 (8 youth)
                                Michigan Tech: 18 (10 youth)
                                Northern Michigan: 16, 15 (10 youth)

                                Looks like there may be some wiggle room for BSU, especially at the upper end.
