On a side note, researchers recently studied 1000 thousand people that have confessed to eating an apple. The conclusion is that all 1000 will die.

Back on topic, just give credit where it's due. It was a finely fixed game.

on a second side note, I wonder if the OSU coach realizes he's a crob?
I am a math guy, yes, but also street smart.

Here's a test to tell the difference - a fair coin is flipped 50 times and comes up heads 50 times, what are the odds it will come up heads on the 51st flip?

The math guys will say 50% if it has enough rotations to be random, i say pretty close to 100% because the odds i am being lied to about the fairness of the coin are much greater than the odds of a fair coin coming up heads 50x in a row.
