The Arkansas-Monticello Boll Weevils are next on my list of GSC previews. Central Arkansas finished third in the division last season, but they have moved on to the Southland Conference in Division I, so second-place UAM is now the seventh team in this series. 05-06 Recap UAM looked very strong heading into last season, with […]

Harding falls in final exhibition at Lipscomb
The Bisons were the victors tonight, but I wasn’t thrilled with the result. Lipscomb came out on top, 81-63, but they didn’t pull away until late in the second half. After a huge early run, LU limped into halftime ahead by 9, and Harding actually took a lead at one point early in the second […]
Harding faces Lipscomb in final exhibition game
Tonight in Nashville, the Harding Bisons will play their last exhibition game against the Lipscomb Bisons. That’s right, both teams incorrectly use “Bisons” as the plural for “Bison.” It’s truly remarkable. If you’re not familiar, these schools have a bit of shared history, with Harding having been founded by one of Lipscomb’s founders. Both share […]
06-07 Season Preview: Henderson State
With election season out of the way, it’s time to focus on basketball again. The strangest team in the Gulf South Conference on a yearly basis is Henderson State. The Reddies are usually loaded with physical talent, but they don’t always put together a good season. They’re up next in my series of season previews. […]
Bisons lose close exhibition at D-I Northwestern State, 103-100
Thursday night marked the beginning of the exhibition season for the Harding men’s basketball team, and it was a great start. Matt Hall had 34 points and 11 rebounds in his return to competition, and Cole Kee sank a three at the buzzer to reach the final margin of three points. Neither school has posted […]
The Case For Ford
I’ve made no secret on this blog and to my friends and family that I’m supporting Harold Ford, Jr. in the Tennessee Senate race this fall. Now that the election is only a few days away, it’s time to revisit why I feel that way. Let’s examine the issues in depth. The Big Issues Many […]
06-07 Season Preview: Christian Brothers
Harding finished sixth last season, so ordinarily this would be the Bisons’ turn in the previews, but since they’re the home team as far as I’m concerned, they got to go first. Next up are the Christian Brothers Buccaneers. 05-06 Recap The Bucs finished 9-7 in GSC play last year, good enough for the last […]
06-07 Season Preview: Ouachita Baptist
Number three on the list for season previews is Ouachita Baptist. The talent pool seemed to run dry last season for the Tigers, who finished 4-12 in a tough season of conference play. That was only good enough for seventh place, a lower-than-average finish for OBU, which is typically at least a contender. This year, […]
