👋 hello there

Welcome to Bless your chart, a weekly publication about college sports.

This publication is free. Here is what you can expect:

• a short post

• sharing at least one data visualization (charts and graphs)

• about college sports (basketball, football, field hockey, NCAA shenanigans)

• and likely with a Carolina blue slant

All charts and graphs are written in R. You can find the code here.

What’s up with the name?

It’s a bad pun. Bless your heart is a one of the more versatile phrases in Southern lexicon. It can mean so many different things. Good, bad, and ugly. It’s all in the tone and context of how you use it.

As you visualize data, the same thing can apply. One person might draw completely different conclusions than another person. So as you read this publication, you might say “bless your heart chart”.
