Chagrin Falls, BW's Childhood Town.

My cousin lives in Chagrin Falls a few blocks north of the town center and my wife and I go see them any chance we get from 900 miles away. The town, the nature, everything about it seems to fit BW's depiction of Calvin's childhood and his adventures.

​

I didn't even learn BW grew up there until our second visit when the bookstore in town had such a good collection of his work. When the worker told me, I was blown away. Calvin and Hobbes was a massive part of my childhood and it felt like I had accidentally made a pilgrimage to pay homage, lol.

​

If you get the chance, go see the town. It's worth it.

I Don't Think Enough People Are Talking About Georgia Tech.

Probably because ESPN dominates the college baseball media world and they're billions into the SEC glazing. But Georgia Tech has played more Quadrant 1 (1-25 opponent RPI home games, 1-40 opponent RPI at neutral site, 1-60 opponent RPI for away games) games than 75% of the SEC and *absolutely dominated* those games. They're 22-5 in quadrant 1 games. No other SEC team has a winning percentage or efficiency close to that Q1 performance at 82%.

Their schedule has been top 20 in SOS and the only reason they're not RPI #1 is because UCLA absolutely dominated their pretty cake schedule. Which, to their credit, says a lot UCLA never really slipped up. That's also difficult to do imo and earned them the #1 seed.

People have been sucking off Auburn because they went 17-18 in quad 1 games playing the most in the nation and all throughout the SECT they talked about how going .500 with that Q1 gauntlet is a big freaking deal. The SEC team with the highest Q1 winning % is Georgia who only played as many Q1 games in total as Georgia Tech *has won* this season. Their Q1 winning percentage sits at 68% versus GT at 82%. That's a significant difference.

It feels weird to say not enough people are talking about the #2 national seed, but am I wrong here?
