LOL sorry. I'm only about a decade behind you, so same fate for me. But those are averages. If you started at a high level, you would presumably remain well above average for your age group.

I hate to say it, but the more brain-damaged are leading the less brain damaged.
I don't know much about football or its culture, but it seems to have an anti-intellectual streak. Decisions evolve mostly through trial-and-error instead of analytics. I saw a stat showing drastic reduction in field goal attempts within 19 yards. Unless there was a relevant rule change I'm missing, they probably shouldn't have needed decades to figure that out.
The problem with those "analytics," as they're called, is that they are lumped, cumulative stats -- somewhat useful in a league like the NFL, but almost worthless in college football. It's fine to say, "fourth-and-three" is a go-for-it down on the opposition 15-yard-line, but there's quite a difference between facing Kent State and Georgia, and the analytics being used don't discern those differences.

I lost a couple thousand dollars in a handicapping competition once because Rick Kotite, coaching the Eagles, couldn't add. Sorry ass stuff.
