Here are some thoughts as you think about how you’re going to watch the Pats-Giants game on three different networks tomorrow night: I would be slightly offended if I were a New York Giants fan who decided to make some money by selling my season ticket to tomorrow’s game to a Patriots fan. The team […]
Month: December 2007
If you ask me, stats are a pretty good Christmas present
So I have updated the GSC team stats through Friday’s games. Henderson State’s still missing a box score, so they’ll have to post that if they want me to recognize their only win of the season so far (against Harris-Stowe of the NAIA). Right now, Christian Brothers and OBU are the pace-setters, with HSU dragging […]
Weekly Notes: December 21, 2007
It’s been a light week around here with no basketball games. If you’ll let me extend the definition of a light posting week to “nothing since Monday morning.” So, I have a few notes: I saw I Am Legend last night. I had fairly high expectations, as I seem to for basically every Will Smith […]
Twenty-Four
Today I’m turning twenty-four years old. More so than any other day, my birthday is the one day each year that I spend some time looking back at the past year and what I’ve accomplished or not accomplished. The truth is, I’ll never accomplish everything that captures my heart or succeed at everything that occupies […]
Harding blows out Ecclesia heading into the break
This one probably wasn’t expected to be close, so it’s good to see the Bisons play another efficient game and get their record over .500 (now 6-5). [TABLE=35] With the defense focused squarely on Matt Hall, the other Bisons did a great job taking (and making) good shots. Hall had 20 points, but it took […]
Weekly Notes: December 14, 2007
Here’s what’s going on in my world: It’s getting close to wintertime, regardless of what the temperature is outside, so I guess that also means it’s time for everyone to get sick. Melissa is sick, several of my co-workers are sick, and one of my friends had an emergency appendectomy this week. I’ve somehow managed […]
First thoughts on the Mitchell Report
A few minutes ago, former Senator George Mitchell released his report on the use of performance enhancing drugs in baseball. The full report is already available for download on MLB.com. Virtually none of the conclusions were surprising. Both MLB and the MLBPA bear responsibility, along with pretty much anyone else involved with baseball in the […]
D-I Basketball Rankings: December 10, 2007
I know today is December 12th, but I did these rankings on Monday. I was having some issues with my tables plugin (apparently I can’t use punctuation in the imported data), but I seem to have that worked out. [TABLE=34] Big movers include Xavier, whose strength of schedule keeps improving with their record, and NC […]
Team stats are up
2007-2008 GSC West Team Statistics In related news, pigs were seen flying today over Ringgold, Georgia. We’re almost a month into the season, and I’m just now getting the team stats up and running. That’s not such a bad thing, though, since there is some danger in reading too much into early-season stats. GSC West […]
#8 Drury gets 33 Christmas presents in home win over Harding
Harding shot and rebounded well enough to pick up a huge road victory over Drury this afternoon in Springfield, Missouri, but the Bisons must have been feeling charitable. After all, Christmas is just around the corner. They turned the ball over 33 times en route to a frustrating close defeat against a good Division-II team. […]
