I owe my career to this game. I was in the stands, and as I was leaving, the students were chanting "Yankees suck!" Wrong sport / season / level / state. That behavior was fascinating, and it helped lead me to study @KnowRivalry
On Bluesky now: bsky.app/profile/drbdt.… I've been over there for a while, and the recent user uptick has now made my primary place for social engagement. So long, Twitter.
I’m proud to share the exciting news that all undergraduate students from households earning $75,000 or less will be able to attend any UMass campus tuition-free starting next fall: bostonglobe.com/2024/10/29/met… @umassamherst @umassboston @umassd @umasslowell #umass #highered (1/4)
The “WNBA is a mess” tweet has nearly 7mil views with people clowning the WNBA. — I see you that and raise you this “high level” hoopery from tonight’s Bucks-Sixers game.
I get asked very very frequently how to get into sports analytics. This is how.
NFL plays are only a few seconds, but the moments leading up to the play -- new personnel, formations, shifts, and motion -- combine strategy and deception In the 2025 Big Data Bowl, it's your turn to tell us what that pre-snap data means kaggle.com/c/nfl-big-data… #BigDataBowl

Social media is not reality: -While only 3 % of active accounts are toxic, they produce 33% of all content! -A mere 0.1 % of users share 80% of fake news -74 % of all online conflicts are started in just 1 % of communities. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Our new paper takes you Inside the funhouse mirror factory and explains How social media distorts perceptions of norms 0.1 % of users share 80% of fake news! A tiny proportion of bad actors cause most of the problems and distort the norms. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Via…
Due to Jackson County, N.C.'s continued State of Emergency, @CatamountsFB will play their scheduled home game against Wofford on Sat., Oct. 5 at 2:30 pm without spectators. The game will be broadcast on ESPN+ and the Catamount Sports Network. 🔗- tinyurl.com/47m7wp76
Very useful action. After 9/11, I remember getting news from @drudgereport because, as a text-only site, its servers were the only ones able to handle the traffic.
This is actually huge: With internet shortages/outages after Helene, getting info has been harder b/c news websites with photos and video are slow to load. BPR launched a text only website that will load better even with spotty wifi text.bpr.org Absolutely brilliant
