This is taking much longer than I expected. I have a Braves Check ready, but I want it to be on the old site. I’ll be doing a clean new installation pretty soon if I can’t get the bugs worked out this week. For now, I’ll share just a few football thoughts, note-style: The 49ers […]

Football Notes: Perhaps I should have bought someone else's jersey
NFL Notes I may have mentioned on here before that I’ll be attending the 11/4 game between the Falcons and 49ers in Atlanta. What I probably haven’t mentioned is that I bough my first piece of licensed NFL apparel in preparation for this game: a replica Alex Smith jersey. Hopefully he’ll be healthy enough to […]
Organization: Getting ready for basketball season
I know there are two months between now and the start of the college basketball season, but for me, that means it’s time to start thinking about what changes I want to make to improve this site’s coverage of Harding basketball. Usually, the first thing that means is that I have to decide how I […]
ESPN Win Probability and the Braves
Today I was planning on posting my monthly meta analysis, just as I have planned to do all week. Things just keep coming up, though, and this is the latest. As it turns out, this post is also the latest in a series of posts about the concept of Win Probability and its treatment in the mainstream media. I’m […]
Thoughts on football analysis and another FO/TMQ plug
I know it’s not evident by the volume of posts about baseball and basketball, but I really don’t favor those sports over football to such a great degree. This is mostly a result of my interest in statistical analysis, which is profoundly more difficult for football than the other sports. For baseball, I can grab what I […]
NFL Predictions 2007
As has become my tradition in baseball, I will post my 2007 NFL predictions for the world to see. There probably aren’t a lot of surprises, but I do lean heavily upon the work of Football Outsiders, which undoubtedly is the best NFL site on the internet. It is one of the few NFL sites that bases predictions […]
I know no one cares, but…
I know I keep violating all the rules of sports blogging by posting about my fantasy teams, but in case anyone does actually care, I’m putting up a page for them. I drafted two more teams this weekend (CBSSports.com Silver, if anyone’s familiar with that format), and I’m pretty happy with both of them. One […]
Another reason to rethink the Save
I don’t know if you could call it a “campaign,” but I’ve lobbied for some time now against the use of the save as a useful relief pitching performance measure. Win Probability does a far better job on two levels: 1) it does a far better job showing how much credit a reliever deserves for […]
Month-end Meta: July 2007
Now that July is out of the way, there are lots of people thinking about going back to school. Fortunately, I’m not one of them. Moving on…I present the top searches that led people to this little site, in terms of volume: Mississippi Braves Rotation “Baseball” or some similarly generic search about the sport Anything […]
2007-2008 HU Basketball Schedule Released
It’s that time again, or at least in four months it is. The Harding athletic department has posted the schedule for the upcoming basketball season, and now I’m doing the same. All of the game times are still TBA, so I’ll update the main schedule page when those are posted. 2007-08 Schedule Date Opponent Location […]
