As you know, the Soccermetrics data models are named Marcotti.  Over the weekend, the flurry of updates to the projects received some attention:

@soccermetrics erm… can’t help but ask… how did u come up with this name? 

After I explained the thinking behind the name, I received this response:

@soccermetrics wow, thank you! Feel honoured… and blushing a little!

Thank you, Mr Marcotti, for accepting the names of our software projects in the spirit in which they were given.
