On Monday, Corinne and I said goodbye to our favorite wire fox terrier and best friend, Lilly. Before taking her to the vet, we carried her on one last walk to the ocean and back. In the final picture we took with her, she had a big smile on her face.

Taking inspiration from @saberpowers, I am now logging #SportsDataJobs in a publicly shared google sheet. It's not as pretty as his website, but it gets the job done! Between the two, we should be capturing most of the current opportunities. Details:

👀 I've been remiss not to mention this more often, but @URAM_Analytics does a great job of highlighting jobs using the #SportsDataJobs, and a lot of the jobs listed on my website are there because I saw them posted by @URAM_Analytics. Super follow for sport analytics jobs.

What a story! @SouthernMissVB reminds volleyball players everywhere why you never give up in this sport.
Comeback of the week (possibly of the year?) belongs to @SouthernMissVB Trailing Arkansas St 23-17 in set 3 after dropping the first 2 sets, Southern Miss had well under a 1% chance to win, but they fought back for a 31-29 set 3 win before taking sets 4/5 as well!
