I’ve gone a bit light on the blogging lately, but I do have a few things to share. Unfortunately, none of them is a college basketball Top 25 list. I’ve been following some blog activity this week about [HU Prof.] Flavil Yeakley’s presentation on youth in the churches of Christ, which he made on January […]

Weekend in Review: Bisons lose their first GSC game
Arkansas Tech 64, Harding 60 Thursday night’s game was a battle between GSC West unbeatens, and Arkansas Tech edged Harding in Searcy, 64-60. The Wonder Boys have emerged this year as a very good team because of their strong backcourt of Darren Tarver and Terrance Whiters. Add a handful of efficient role players, and it’s […]
Individual Stats (Finally)
With a month and a half left in the season, I finally have individual stats for you to browse. Follow the link for more: 07-08 Individual Stats The tables are fully sortable, but the sort function is a bit quirky. For some reason, it won’t sort percentages properly, so I may remove the percentage signs […]
Ouachita keeps it close, but ultimately falls to 3-0 Bisons
The last time the Bisons started a conference season 3-0, they made it to the NCAA tournament. I’m not convinced that this year’s team is as good as that one, but it’s hard to argue if they keep winning. Matt Hall had 24 points, and he got enough help from Trent Morgan (13), Chris Dixon […]
Bisons fly past Statesmen en route to first road win, second GSC win
Harding and Delta State are fairly consistently the GSC West leaders in one category: pace. This one was a barn-burner, but even when you account for the fast pace, Delta State clearly wasn’t ready to play defense last night. [TABLE=47] Prior to last night, Delta State was averaging a 104.0 defensive rating against Division II […]
Weekly Notes: January 17, 2008
Notes are a day early, since I hope to have a game review for you tomorrow. Melissa and I finished The Bourne Ultimatum on Tuesday night, and I was left with just one question: Can I think of another trilogy of action movies more (collectively) satisfying than the Bourne trilogy? I couldn’t. Ars Technica has […]
College Basketball Top 25: January 16, 2008
[TABLE=46] The next 10, alphabetically: Connecticut, Dayton, Drake, Gonzaga, Kansas State, Mississippi State, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Stanford, Vanderbilt A few thoughts: I was only partly rooting against Vandy in the Kentucky game. I think they’re a good team, but they have to prove it at some point against another good team. They need a good […]
Mark Kotsay, or a bird of a different feather
The wren is a bird known originally as a cave dweller, with a desire to live in dark spaces, but also for its loud songs. I don’t know if that means anything, though, for Braves’ GM Frank Wren, but it’s interesting nonetheless. Wren had been John Schuerholz’ #2 man after being unceremoniously shooed out of […]
Hall blows up in GSC opener
The scouting report on Harding probably goes something like this: Double-cover Hall because he will be taking a lot of shots from everywhere on the floor. Don’t let the outside shooters beat you, because no one’s really going to post up that often. When someone does go inside, it’s probably okay to make contact. GSC […]
Weekly Notes: January 11, 2008
2008 is already flying by for me because of the giant task at work known as YEAR END. Here’s what I’ve been thinking about this week: I’ve been thinking a lot about Ron Paul, and I want to make it clear that I don’t actually think he’s racist. I dug a bit more into the […]
