Ken Pomeroy has started his work on projectiong the D-I conference tournaments over at his blog, so I thought I’d do the same for the GSC in this space. The method is to use pythagorean winning percentages (ideal winning percentages based on points scored and allowed) to predict the winners of individual games and the […]

Tax season is not busy for all accountants
A common misconception for those unfamiliar with accounting is that all accountants do personal federal income taxes as a service. Even some my friends and family who know I’m in private accounting ask me if things are busy around here, if I’m “ready,” or something to that effect. That’s understandable, but it’s not true. I’m […]
A convenient plug
Last night’s Academy Awards presentation was generally pretty boring, save for a fun musical number early on featuring Jack Black and Will Ferrell about the plight of the comedy star. I was basically just rooting for the movies I’d seen, which were few among the many nominees. The Prestige and Little Miss Sunshine were probably […]
It's conference tournament week
The South Region Tracker is updated and ready for what is typically a crazy week at the conference tournaments. Below is my list of who should be safe for the NCAAs, who needs a little help, and who could potentially play spoiler. Those can also be found on the tracker page, if you’re so inclined to […]
Harding unable to stop Kohs-powered Bucs
Nick Kohs was hurt during the Bisons’ first matchup with Christian Brothers a month ago in Memphis, but he was back in form for Saturday night’s game in Searcy. His 15 points and 8 rebounds were key to the Buccaneers’ 76-71 win, which claimed the second spot in the GSC West standings for them, almost […]
Harding still on a roll as they down SAU
The Muleriders made a couple of late runs, but they couldn’t catch the Bisons last night in Magnolia. The Bisons won 64-61 over the other currently hot team in the division, and now they own the division’s longest active winning streak at four games. The stats: HU SAU +/- Eff 102.1 92.0 10.1 TS% 51.9 […]
#1 – Switchfoot
Over the years, I’ve internalized several criteria for what makes a band “good” in my own opinion. They’re probably not that much different from anyone else’s, but it’s interesting how similar criteria can yield such a wide range of results. Looking at the rest of the list, it might not seem to follow any kind […]
President Bush visits Chattanooga
My first day back to work this week has been slightly more eventful than most, since the Decider-in-Chief is in Chattanooga today to address his latest health care policies. President Bush spoke to a group at Erlanger Medical Center, a local hospital that has historically been the area’s health-care leader (but has been in financial trouble in […]
Predicting the South Region
I’m working on getting the South Region Tracker together for this week. With the Bisons playing a regular Thursday/Saturday schedule, I’ve had a hard time getting motivated to do anything until the weekend. Add my recent sickness into the equation, and I’ve done nothing on this since Sunday. Hopefully by this evening, I’ll have everything […]
I'd rather be at work
I’ve been out sick from work the past two days because I battled an extreme case of nausea yesterday. I probably threw up about 15 times between 6:30 and 4:00 yesterday, so I went to the ER, where they pumped some fluids in me and sent me home (after about a 4-hour wait). I’m feeling […]
