The HSU webmaster finally found it necessary to post the roster for this year’s Reddies squad, so I guess I’ll also take some time and preview their season. What worked for Henderson State in 2007: Getting down and dirty on defense. Despite all the recent coaching and player turnover at Henderson State, the Reddies really […]

Weekly Notes: November 8, 2007
It’s that time again. So far it’s been an interesting week for me, and once again I have some notes: Mark Elrod’s thoroughly entertaining contest for the most politically subversive song in American history is over, and Bob Dylan’s “Masters of War” wins the title. I think my vote would have been for “This Land […]
GSC Preview 2007-2008: Southern Arkansas
The Muleriders finished yet another disappointing GSC season 5-9 last year, again failing to compete for a division title. They didn’t finish last, but it probably felt like it for a program that could use yet another facelift (not to mention a new mascot). What went well for Southern Arkansas: Stop opponents’ offensive possessions. I […]

This should theoretically (at least temporarily) revive the sellout atmosphere of some of the HSU blackout […]
GSC Preview 2007-2008: Ouachita Baptist
The Tigers were the last team into the GSC Tournament from the West last year, but they had a four-game cushion over UAM for that distinction. Let’s take a look at this year’s prospects for Charlie Schaef’s OBU squad. What Ouachita Baptist did well: Shoot and protect the basketball. Last year’s OBU team was unique […]
Not a Season Preview
I’ve decided that I’ll hold off on the next season preview until Monday, since Henderson State has not put this year’s roster on their website. We’ll stick to the schedule from here on out, and I’ll come back to the Reddies at the end.
Weekly Notes: November 1, 2007
A few notes for your first day of November: I have been going to the movies less and less over the past year or so. There just aren’t that many that are worth making a trip to a theater and paying 3-4 times what you pay for a rental, and movies keep coming out on […]
