To kick off the 2006-07 season, I’ll go through a quick preview of each of the GSC teams. I’m probably not going to have as much time this year to devote to blogging each and every game, and I won’t be able to attend more than a few games, since I’m living about 500 miles […]

#10: Death Cab for Cutie / The Postal Service
I know they’re technically not the same group, but they have the same lead singer, they’re both currently in existence, and it’s really hard to separate the two in my mind. Death Cab is a Seattle-based pop band that until last year’s Plans had released all of their albums under indie label Barsuk Records. Now, […]
The best of the rest
To start my series of favorite songs by favorite bands, I’ll throw in some mini-lists of the best songs by the bands that nearly made my top 10 list. Evanescence 1. Bring Me To Life – “Save me from the nothing I’ve become…” – This is the song that got me into Evanescence, just like […]
Double Digits
Yesterday I scored my first double-digit under par disc golf round (-10 exactly), which sounds like a much bigger accomplishment until you consider that I am still playing from the novice tees using par 4 (there is a set of longer tees, and most courses use 3 as the advanced par). Still, it shows that […]
Rock on
August has been a traditionally slow month for sports, with baseball pennant races still a month away from really heating up and football yet to get underway. While the Braves are busy playing their way out of the NL wild card race, I thought I would make a few posts about my current musical tastes. […]
Muse: Black Holes and Revelations
I feel that I’m a popular music aficionado, but I’m a newcomer to Muse, a three-piece English hard/neo-progressive rock band. They’ve been popular overseas for a several years but only recently charted in the U.S. with their 2003 Absolution LP, which was their third studio album. Singer Matt Bellamy reminds me a bit of Radiohead’s […]
My golf is better than your golf
Actually, it’s been years since I tried to play a round of golf that involved using more than just a putter, so I don’t know if it’s actually better. All I know is that in disc golf, the learning curve is not as steep as regular golf. Most people have thrown a frisbee at one […]
2006-2007 Schedule
HardingSports.com: 2006-2007 Men’s Basketball Schedule The schedule for the 2006-2007 Harding Bisons basketball team has been released, and there are only a few notable changes from recent years. The Harding squad will meet the D-I Lipscomb Bisons in an exhibition on November 9th in Nashville. Lipscomb was 21-11 last season, their first winning mark since […]
Usage Score
I introduced the “usage score” (USG) last year on the old site, but I forgot to re-incorporate it into the new stats until tonight. That, along with trying to get some sortable stat pages up and running, has delayed today’s weekly post until later tonight. Right now, let me offer a quick explanation of USG […]
P and Volatility – A Quick Explanation
In case you don’t want to get too in-depth researching WPA, P, and Volatility in order to understand my posts and spreadsheets, here’s my somewhat quick explanation: WPA is short for “win probability added.” Win probability is based on historical baseball data on a team’s likelihood to win a particular game, given the game’s current […]
