Jason Conner enters his second year as Delta State’s head coach after a moderately disappointing 18-10 rookie season. As usual, he’ll be relying on plenty of newcomers. First, let’s take a look at last year. What Delta State did well: Utilize their athletic advantage. As is the case in most years, DSU had a wealth […]

A few more site bugs fixed
Rejoice in the splendor of my no-longer-tainted posting and commenting system. While Akismet might still think some of you are spamming me, at least there should not be a problem anymore when you click “Submit Comment.” Finally. I figured out that I had the problem pinned down to the wrong WordPress plugin (Category Page) and […]
Edgar, Andruw, and money to be spent
I’ve been pondering some of the Braves’ offseason issues for some time, and I’m not really sure what conclusions I have at this point, but I’ll share a few thoughts about the three big decisions that have shaped the immediate direction for the Braves. So long, Andruw Immediately following the season, we learned that the […]
GSC Preview 2007-2008: Christian Brothers
This year, Mike Nienaber’s fellow GSC coaches realized that he knows what he’s doing with the Christian Brothers program, and they voted the Bucs #1 in the preseason GSC West poll. They didn’t finish first last year, as I had predicted, but things should be different this time around. Before we get to this year, though, […]
GSC Preview 2007-2008: Arkansas-Monticello
Arkansas-Monticello is clearly another GSC school that will take just about any player with skill who wants to transfer there. There are only three holdovers from last year’s 8-17 team (Brett Potter, Derek Easter, and Jermaine Samuels), accounting for a grand total of 4.5% of the team’s offensive possessions. Needless to say, it will be even easier […]
Weekly Notes: October 25, 2007
It’s been a while since I did one of these posts. Let’s hope I remember how it works. First, a few football lists: [TABLE=1] [TABLE=2] Now, a few other notes: I’ve been playing a lot of Xbox 360 recently, and I told myself that I wasn’t going to buy NCAA Football 08 (a game I […]
GSC Preview 2007-2008: Arkansas Tech
These previews are intended to be in the style of Basketball Prospectus’ ongoing D-I previews. See part 1 of their Pac-10 team previews here for an example. First year coach Mark Downey struggled in his first year as the Wonder Boys’ head coach, to say the least. He went 6-21 overall, including a truly awful […]
GSC Preview 2007-2008: Harding
These previews are intended to be in the style of Basketball Prospectus’ ongoing D-I previews. See part 1 of their Pac-10 team previews here for an example. We’ll save the best for first, just because I was the most excited to preview the Bisons. You’ll have to forgive me. I’ll do the rest of the […]
Back online?
I’m not really sure, but I’m going to make an attempt this weekend to import all of my Blogger posts (jfwiii.blogspot.com if you haven’t been over there) into this blog, and hopefully I can move on to more important things. I’m also planning on updating the Braves WPA page to include season-ending stats, since my […]
GSC Preseason Release…Released
It never really feels like basketball season’s ready to start until I see the GSC Preseason Release. This year, the coaches have tabbed Montevallo as the GSC East and Conference champion, with Christian Brothers as the GSC West favorite. That’s a pretty safe bet. Here are the predicted GSC West standings (total votes and first […]
