Pretty much everyone has something to complain about these days. Most people around the world have been affected in some way by the flailing economy. Some people are very sad this time of year because the holidays always remind them of some kind of traumatic event that happened during a previous holiday season. Others hurt […]

Bisons win without me in Huntsville
I should just stay away from Huntsville in the future. The timing of this year’s Harding @ UAH game prevented me from going this year, and almost as if they knew I was at home, the Bisons pulled out an eight-point road win. It was a low-scoring game from the start, dictated by UAH’s trademark […]
Trent Morgan helps Bisons pull away late against Incarnate Word
The Bisons beat Incarnate word 81-74 after Morgan’s one-man run late in the game. Trent finished with a career-high 22 points and added seven rebounds (and six turnovers) as the Bisons won in front of a meager home crowd of 452. Harding’s Thanksgiving Break began after class on Friday, so I imagine the student attendance […]
Bisons cruise through home opener against overmatched Champion Baptist
When you have a streak going, you do whatever you can to keep it going. A baseball player might wear the same pair of underwear for weeks during a hot streak, and hockey players grow “playoff beards” in an attempt to prolong their postseason runs. The Bisons, with a home opener win streak of 27, […]
Harding loses season opener to Missouri S&T
An already-thin Bison lineup went up against a team with something to prove on Saturday night and met an equal match. Missouri S&T went 3-24 last year, but behind a handful of young returnees and some new talent, they took the first game of this season’s home-and-home series by a final (double-OT) score of 93-80. […]
Notes: November 14, 2008
This is a fascinating time of year for me. Not that there aren’t a lot of those times of year, but I especially love the fall season. College football is always compelling in November because of the BCS circus. I’m actually still competitive in all of my fantasy football leagues, which is a welcome change […]
Gulf South Conference Preview 2008-2009
These previews will be in descending order, using the team’s 2007-08 net efficiency, which I think is the best metric of overall team quality. Christian Brothers 2007-2008 Record: 22-10 Net Efficiency: +13.5 The Bucs have some significant losses: perennial star forward Kevin Weybright, starting guard Justin Ray, and reserve guard Roberto Casiano. Weybright is a […]
2008-2009 Harding Basketball Preview
Year 1 A.H. This year, we start with a blank slate. It is Year 1 A.H. (After Hall) for the Harding program, as one of the school’s all-time legends has graduated and moved on. Matt Hall was a freshman at the same time I was (in 2002-03), but he redshirted that year and watched the […]
Harding All-American QB David Knighton suspended
I normally don’t post about Harding football here. There’s typically not much reason to. The atmosphere at football games was not what it was for basketball when I was there, and I had trouble getting into it. The team also isn’t very good this year: their record is just 2-8 (1-6 GSC) because of a […]
Election Day 2008
It’s finally here. I haven’t weighed in a lot about politics over the last few months, but I’m not indifferent toward today’s election results. My thoughts just haven’t changed much since the election season began, which was seemingly right after the midterm elections of 2006. It’s been a long campaign season, and like many of […]
