Monday/Tuesday: Braves Check Wednesday/Thursday: Post on something else Friday: Post on something else, or if I have enough going on, Notes Here are the possible “other” post ideas: Reviewing the 49ers’ NFL Draft (remember, I do actually have a favorite NFL team….they just haven’t been much fun to talk about for a few years, and […]

Upgrading to WordPress 2.5
I’ve been waiting on WordPress’ 2.5 release to upgrade my blog, which is probably why my iframes (tables) were getting hacked. WP 2.5 is out now, so I’m planning to upgrade today if at all possible. Hopefully this will correct some of the problems I’ve been having, but I almost broke the site (again) the […]

Initial 2008 bracket thoughts and analysis
Even though I follow Harding basketball pretty closely, the excitement of the D-II Selection Show still doesn’t match that of its D-I counterpart. I spent last night reviewing the matchups for what many would consider the “real” NCAA tournament, and I at least have some initial thoughts to share. At last count, there are still […]
A note for those using feed readers
It seems that my tables don’t show up in Google Reader, so it’s possible that they don’t work in other readers as well. I’ll try to include a disclaimer when I include tables in a post, but it’s probably a good idea to click on through to the actual post when it’s something like a […]
It's the Tournament, a month early
I mentioned that I might give this a whirl about a month ago, so instead of ranking the D-I basketball teams, I’m doing my own little exercise in “bracketology.” For reference, here’s Joe Lunardi’s latest, the current national rankings and standings, and Ken Pomeroy’s latest rankings.

College Basketball Top 25: January 16, 2008
[TABLE=46] The next 10, alphabetically: Connecticut, Dayton, Drake, Gonzaga, Kansas State, Mississippi State, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Stanford, Vanderbilt A few thoughts: I was only partly rooting against Vandy in the Kentucky game. I think they’re a good team, but they have to prove it at some point against another good team. They need a good […]
NCAA Basketball Rankings: January 9, 2008
[TABLE=44] The next 10, alphabetically: Arizona State, Dayton, Drake, Kansas State, Louisville, Ohio State, Oregon, Pitt, Rhode Island, Vandy Vandy still doesn’t make the cut, although it will be hard to leave them off if they beat both South Carolina and Kentucky in the next week. Yes, I do think four-loss Gonzaga and similarly undefeated […]
NCAA Basketball Rankings: January 2, 2008
It’s been a few weeks since I did one of these, so here’s where I think the D-I teams stand at this point: [TABLE=41] Next 10 teams, in alphabetical order: Dayton, Drake, Gonzaga, Kansas State, Louisville, Miami (FL), Notre Dame, St. Mary’s, USC, Vanderbilt I know Vandy’s undefeated, but I’m waiting until they start playing […]
Weekly Notes: December 14, 2007
Here’s what’s going on in my world: It’s getting close to wintertime, regardless of what the temperature is outside, so I guess that also means it’s time for everyone to get sick. Melissa is sick, several of my co-workers are sick, and one of my friends had an emergency appendectomy this week. I’ve somehow managed […]
