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 […]

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 […]
Let's make it another decade
I remember eighth grade relatively fondly. I had a good group of friends at school and was settling in on an academic path that would ultimately prove very beneficial to me. I didn’t have a future playing sports, so I (as a total nerd) shifted my extracurricular focus from football and basketball to debate and […]
Starting the season on the West Coast is a great idea
With parity across major college football becoming the norm, I doubt it will be uncommon for there to be one-loss BCS national champions on a yearly basis. Having said that, the Tennessee Vols need to figure out how to get off to a better start so that fans like myself believe there’s actually a chance […]
The Diaper List
Inspired by a recent movie called The Bucket List, my friend Brandon started referring to his own version of such a list. Unlike the stars of the movie (Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson), his list isn’t about what he wants to do before he dies (or “kicks the bucket”). Rather, he has what he calls […]
Weekly Notes: December 28, 2007
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 […]
Weekly Notes: November 21, 2007
I suppose I won’t keep my usual schedule this week, with tomorrow being Thanksgiving. We’ll have notes today and some basketball reviews over the weekend. I’ve been slacking this week on basketball, instead spending my time looking at everyone’s Black Friday deals, most of which have already been released. The Bargainist is a pretty reliable […]
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 […]
Football Notes: Rankings galore
Just for the heck of it, I’m pulling out my college football top 10 and NFL notes for the week and putting them into their own post. It makes me feel better about not having as much original stuff to post, I’ll admit, but it’s also a good way to start some discussion and prepare […]
Friday Notes: September 14, 2007
I only have a few things to discuss before you spend the weekend glued to your TV: Saturday morning, before the college football schedule gets underway, East Brainerd Church of Christ is hosting the Walk for Honduras at Pointe Corporate Center in Chattanooga. Aside from allowing me the opportunity to break some kind of record for […]
