Last night, for the first time in my lifetime, the Tennessee Vols basketball team made the short trip south to McKenzie Arena in Chattanooga to take on one of their top in-state competitors. A record crowd of 11,221 was on hand to see the #10-ranked Vols, and I had to be part of it. As […]

College Basketball Top 25: December 3, 2007
There’s not a lot of movement this week. [TABLE=21] Ten teams that are close (in alphabetical order): Arkansas, Davidson, Gonzaga, Kentucky, Southern Illinois, St. Mary’s, Stanford, USC, Vanderbilt, Virginia Just to clarify what these rankings are supposed to represent (or not represent): This is not a list based on what teams “deserve” at this point […]
Weekly Notes: November 30, 2007
As usual, there’s plenty going on this time of year for notes: Did anyone see the Packers-Cowboys game last night? It was only the best NFC matchup so far this year, but thanks to our cable companies and the NFL Network, practically no one was able to see it. Congratulations are in order for the […]
College Basketball Top 25: November 26, 2007
I haven’t changed the Top 10 around a lot since I started doing this before the season, but not many of them have lost yet. Tennessee has had the biggest fall of any of my preseason top 10, but I think it’s mostly because Chris Lofton hasn’t been 100%. Duke is probably the biggest riser […]
College Basketball Top 25: November 19, 2007
I’ll try to make this a regular thing. I’m doing it each week to contribute to the MVN team, but I can’t even find the stinking thing on there when it’s all done (at least not without a lot of work navigating through other posts). Here’s my list: [TABLE=14] The next five, if you’re curious, […]

Back online?
I’m not really sure, but I’m going to make an attempt this weekend to import all of my Blogger posts (jfwiii.blogspot.com if you haven’t been over there) into this blog, and hopefully I can move on to more important things. I’m also planning on updating the Braves WPA page to include season-ending stats, since my […]
Nickel Creek at the Tivoli: October 14, 2007
Just eight years ago, I probably would have admitted to just about anyone that my favorite recording artist was Britney Spears. I was a sophomore in high school, and I’m still of the opinion that high school sophomores should be afforded such ridiculous musical tastes. I thought she had a good voice and her songs […]
Schedule
I’m determined to stick to some kind of schedule of posts even if my regular site continues not to function. Here’s what I have planned: Today (Tuesday): Nickel Creek concert review Wednesday: First look at Basketball Prospectus Thursday: State of the basketball blog, including a schedule of basketball posts Friday: Notes and NCAA/NFL power rankings […]
NCAA Basketball Preseason Top 25
While I’m in ranking mode, I’ll present my preseason NCAA basketball top 25. MVN is doing a top 25 poll this year, and since I’ll be participating, I decided to do some research on the teams. As a rule, I follow D-II more closely, but I also can’t avoid hearing plenty about D-I. There are […]
