Enduring Professor Stein’s statistics class was in many ways a rite of passage at A&M. I thoroughly enjoyed the class because the man was clearly unstable and I found his instability somewhat entertaining and, if I'm being honest, a bit endearing. Stein used an owl puppet, Spot, to teach the class. I empathize with his fear of speaking in front of large (or any) groups.
In honor of Professor Stein, of all that I learned in INFO 303 and of Excel which calculated all of this information for me, I present you statistics on our 2011 bracket:
