Friday Notes

Today, I want to cover a couple of little tidbits that are on my brain, but that I haven’t considered worthy of an entire post. The Office Season Finale, plus Lost OR Idol? Last night’s season finale of The Office was a doozy, as expected.  I won’t spoil it for anyone who hasn’t seen it […]

Cokey is better than Pepsi

I’ve neglected to mention here that my wife and I had an unusual Sunday a few weeks back.  We had been talking about pets for a while, and it happened that a family was leaving our church and moving out west to Sacramento.  On their final day at East Brainerd, they offered up their seven-year-old cat for the […]

Three tiers of TV

Now that I’ve been out of school for a few months, I find myself watching more and more TV.  While I was in school, I basically just watched The Office and whatever live sporting event was on.  Now, it’s not that I have more time on my hands than I did when I was at Harding, because […]

Bisons reach GSC semis, lose to Reddies

The season is over for the Bisons after an interesting run through the GSC Tournament this past weekend.  For a while, it looked like their tournament run was going to be quite short, but a remarkable stretch of ten minutes toward the end of the Valdosta State game, capped off by an amazing final five […]

Back from Memphis

I’m tired tonight after traveling this weekend, but I’ll review the GSC Tournament tomorrow. Montevallo won it for the third time in four years, but it’s likely that at least 2-3 other GSC teams will make the NCAA tournament field.  Harding will not be among the teams heading to UM, which will probably be the […]

East sweeps West in first-round GSC matchups

Both GSC East teams got past their West division opponents in yesterday’s first-round games at the GSC Tournament in Southaven.  Alabama-Huntsville edged Delta State 74-69 in the early evening game, advancing to face Henderson State on Friday.  West Georgia took down OBU in the later game, advancing to a certain death matchup against Montevallo when […]

Log5 Predictions for the GSC Tournament

Ken Pomeroy has started his work on projectiong the D-I conference tournaments over at his blog, so I thought I’d do the same for the GSC in this space.  The method is to use pythagorean winning percentages (ideal winning percentages based on points scored and allowed) to predict the winners of individual games and the […]

It's conference tournament week

The South Region Tracker is updated and ready for what is typically a crazy week at the conference tournaments.  Below is my list of who should be safe for the NCAAs, who needs a little help, and who could potentially play spoiler.  Those can also be found on the tracker page, if you’re so inclined to […]

Harding unable to stop Kohs-powered Bucs

Nick Kohs was hurt during the Bisons’ first matchup with Christian Brothers a month ago in Memphis, but he was back in form for Saturday night’s game in Searcy. His 15 points and 8 rebounds were key to the Buccaneers’ 76-71 win, which claimed the second spot in the GSC West standings for them, almost […]
