Oakland Raiders: Take That Smile Off Rowdy's Face, Get Ready to Fight!

There is no time to waste, Oakland Raiders. No more time for losing, Oakland Raiders.

Get ready to take that smile off Rowdy's face. Who is Rowdy? He is the mascot for the Dallas Cowboys.

Let's look at it another way. In 2009, the Oakland Raiders had a win-loss record of 5-11. The record for the Dallas Cowboys was 11-5 in 2009. It's time for a transformation to turn the results around.

Let me stretch your mind for a moment.

Let A    =   11     5

Now A(t) = 11     5

A is a matrix. Now in mathematics if you want a transformation to turn the outcome around, you use the transpose of A, by changing rows into columns. By the way, A is symmetric since A = A(t).

If the first row represents the win-loss record of the Dallas Cowboys and the second row represents the Oakland Raiders, then this is what we expect in 2010.

The rows will become columns, and therefore the win-loss record for the Oakland Raiders in 2010, under the transpose model, would be 11-5. In other words, the Oakland Raiders will have 11 wins and five losses.

Now notice that the transpose is the same as the original matrix. The meaning of the rows and columns are different. Now that things are going to be changed around by good play-calling, Oakland will have more wins than losses. Do you agree?

It goes like this: The preparation and practice will make such a big difference under Hue Jackson and others that the Oakland Raiders are going to cause a "transpose" of the data in 2010.

Now most of what can be done mathematically can eventually be done in the real world. All it takes is a smart engineer to take the concept and build it into a physical reality or a working model.

The coaching staff led by Tom Cable and Hue Jackson will engineer the right change and our losses will become wins.

Now you may wonder where the matrix comes from containing entries 11-5 in the first row, and 5-11 in the second row. Destiny put it in place.

All I did was looked at it with a "mathematical eye." This mathematical eye is slowly transforming to an eye for research in NFL football.

Do you see what I see? I hope so. Let's have fun seeing things differently. Who knows? It may help sharpen the Oakland Raiders and to inspire them to see deeper out there on the playing field.

I see a transpose in the making with our outstanding draft picks, new coaches, and a new goal of winning rather than losing.

Apply your mathematical thinking and engineer some victories in 2010, especially when you play the Dallas Cowboys. (I am talking to the Oakland Raiders and the coaching staff.)

Furthermore, take that Texas smile off Rowdy's face (the mascot), and put a big smile on the face of the Raider Nation, after the first game in Aug. 2010.

How do you take that smile off Rowdy's face? It is curved upward, now flip it and make it curve downward!

You surprise the Dallas Cowboys during the very first game of the 2010 preseason and you shock them, and the world.

Go Raiders! Do your homework and get ready to play ball!
