This is the fourth installment of a series where I’m tracking the latest developments with ESPN and various forms of baseball win probability (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3). A few weeks ago, ESPN introduced a win probability graphic to their coverage of the College World Series. They didn’t fully explain their methodology, beyond the […]

Hall makes GSC "Top 10"
It’s been a while since I posted about Harding basketball, so this will have to serve that purpose. Last week, Matt Hall was named to the GSC “Top 10” for his all-around performance as an athlete, in the classroom, and in extracurricular activities. Matt is the Bisons leader and star player, and he will be […]

Win Probability: The suspense factor and other errata
The College World Series began last week with the usual set of great games and inspiring teams, but with a little wrinkle to the ESPN broadcast that should probably interest MLB fans: the inclusion of win probability to the bevy of stats used over the course of the broadcast. I’ve already blogged about it twice […]

ESPN picks up on Win Probability for College World Series
Yes, you read that correctly. The Worldwide Leader has added a nifty little dropdown from the top bar in its College World Series broadcasts this year. I caught the last inning or so of tonight’s game between Oregon State and Cal State-Fullerton, and it would show below the score for a few seconds every couple […]
Month-end meta: May 2007
Traffic on this site surged in May, but getting linked from Switchfoot’s official site will do that for you. It wasn’t really a big deal, because the creator of the switchfeed.com news site was hired by the band to do the news section of their site. So, when Switchfeed linked to my review of Oh! Gravity […]
Guitar Hero 3 will be a must-own game
For me, at least. The first batch of songs for the latest installment in the popular RedOctane series was released today, and if this list is any indication, the game will be nothing short of spectacular. I never thought I’d be interested in the DDR-style games that basically only involve mashing the right button at […]
Disc Golf Tracking
Summer is upon us, and as the days grow longer, that can only mean one thing: I get to play more disc golf. I got hooked on the sport last summer, and from late June through mid-August, I played 36 rounds of 18 holes without going more than five days between rounds. As you might […]
