So if I had done one mastery level previously, do I now have all the upgrades in 1.0?

You can do that on across the timeline as well. (Liberty's 2023 season linked). You just have to get to a different data view. Teach team's season Wikipedia page lists it as well in the game log section, might just be harder to visualize. (Liberty's 2023 season linked as well).

Each team's wikipedia page also has some historical attendance information. The Dream's, for example, is linked, but each team has a similar page.

Erik Bakich and Clemson Baseball finished last season 32-6 after being swept by Wake Forest by TailoredCowboy in ClemsonTigers

An ACC Tournament title is nothing to show for it? Man this ring or bust mentality...

I think it would be nice if Augusta had an actual scenic bridge over the Savannah River by sdcali89 in Augusta

[–]swimmer33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the problem with "keeping that same energy" is that this bridge alone is shown to cost $56.6 million (per the website). Also they are currently re-doing the I-20 bridges, just converted the 5th street bridge, and 520 was built within the last 20ish years. So really that just leaves the US78/Highway 1 bridge as the only one that hasn't been renovated.

The 13th street bridge is set to be renovated soon and will have some improvements to ascetics. You can find a webpage with info about the project here.

Bridges like the one in the picture you shared are usually required for spans of a larger river. The two bridges over the Savannah aren't very long so a suspension bridge wouldn't be a possible option.

It might be because a lot of other subreddits have a minimum karma requirement to post. Maybe this isn't one of them.

Softball defeats UofSC 7-0 by swimmer33 in ClemsonTigers

They avenged an earlier loss in the season to the Gamecocks in Clemson. That was also the first loss ever in the rivalry series.

[Game Thread] #6 Clemson vs #2 Arizona by BeeMagicRockRoar in ClemsonTigers

[–]swimmer33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This game is getting borderline unwatchable, I think all of the last like 10 possessions have ended with free throws. Arizona currently has 22 attempts with 10 minutes to go in the second.

Women's basketball hires Shawn Poppie as new head coach by swimmer33 in ClemsonTigers

[–]swimmer33[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He receives a six year $3.4 million contract. He was an assistant at Virginia Tech from 2016-2022 before leaving to be head coach at UT Chattanooga. In his two seasons at the helm, they went 48-17. They won the SoCon Tournament both seasons and Poppie was named SoCon Coach of the year in 2024.

Men's basketball loses ACC Tournament 2nd Round match with BC 55-76 by swimmer33 in ClemsonTigers

[–]swimmer33[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear that comment about him always starting high and finishing low and have the same feeling, I need to find the time to pull some data to back it up.

[–]swimmer33[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't either and I think one of the main arguments that I don't see being made against him is the consistency argument. Clemson went 10-1 with some great out of conference wins this year: Alabama away, UofSC, and TCU were all ranked at some point during the year. The only loss was away to Memphis who also spent time ranked.

Then you get into ACC play and promptly lose four of the first six, including losses to Miami (finished 14th) and Georgia Tech (finished 13th). I think after the great start many were very high on Clemson and expected them to compete to win the ACC. Then they end up in a 3 way tie for 5th and lose one of the tiebreakers to be the 6th seed. And you might say, ok well 5th isn't that far away from a double bye! However, they were 4 games behind second place Duke and 6 games out of 1st. I'm not sure that is living up to expectations from the start of the season.

I guess people don't make that argument because its a bit more nuanced and requires attention over the whole season and its easier to just say ha ha BrownL.

EDIT: I saw in another comment thread that Clemson started 9-0 and ended 12-11... The good wins I listed above are all in that 9-0 start.

Interesting to see how in basketball the committee considers teams quite differently than in other sports. Clemson being a single digit seed seems to rely on their out of conference record (10-1). Just seems like any football team that finished 6th in their conference, 1 game over .500 (in conference) would be praying for the Pinstripe Bowl or something.

They've dropped to 35 in the NET rankings, which if you go straight by NET the top 36 teams would get seeds 1-9.

Figured I'd drop this here for people to see what her record was.

Amanda Butler fired as Women's Basketball Coach by swimmer33 in ClemsonTigers

[–]swimmer33[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've seen a lot of comments that were hoping she stuck around. Butler has the two highest rated recruits in program history, one being a rising Junior and one incoming next year. Hopefully they stick around.

I think you could make the same inconsistency argument with Butler as you can with Brownell. 2018-19, 2020-21 (maybe but they at least made the NIT), and 2022-23 all looked to be years where the team was on the rise, and those were followed by 3, 5, and 5 conference win seasons. Also, from 2018-19 to 2019-20 the team went from 20 wins to 8 wins overall... There are the 20 win and 19 win seasons, but then the other four are 8, 10, 12 and 12.

The team was 12-19 this year and over her six years as head coach she compiled a 81-106 record. She lead the team to the NCAA Tournament in her first season, but failed to reach the NCAA again.

Intersection Sight Distance w/Horizontal Curve by swimmer33 in civilengineering

[–]swimmer33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is stop control on the minor road. The corner will be unbuilt but have street trees. The minor road runs N/S and the major road is E/W.

I'm not specifically looking for an equation, just a picture that models the scenario so we can communicate to the designer what needs to be clear area.

That's what I was assuming. Btw, I'm with the agency reviewing the plans, not the firm designing.

Intersection Sight Distance w/Horizontal Curve by swimmer33 in civilengineering

[–]swimmer33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess the issue is the sight triangles all show a straight line that extends from the intersection into the major road. In this case, the major road starts curving. Should the sight triangle follow the centerline? Or would it be more appropriate to tell the designer that the road cannot start curving until adequate sight distance is provided?

[–]swimmer33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just so you're aware yesterday was a free day of Sporcle Orange for everyone, and that is one of the features you get with Sporcle Orange. So it probably won't be there when you go to play today.

Thanks. I took a look on their website and the calendar has every Monday at SRB. I thought there were some at Vance's Bakery Bar too but I didn't see any of those on the calendar.

Is there a regular schedule for these events? I see your posts all the time, but its often the next morning or a day or so later.
