This post is a response to a challenge issued by the author of Moderately Cerebral Bias, who fulfills his blog’s title by thinking a little more deeply about how & why we do this thing called blogging. MC identified several gaps in the mainstream media/big-boy bloggers paradigm that he thinks smaller bloggers can exploit. It’s [...]

Who The Hell Are… Old Dominion, Holy Cross, FAMU and TAMUCC?
Posted in Blogrollin', College Basketball, Who The Hell Are…? on March 14, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I was recently able to make my debut on Deadspin.com’s front page by volunteering to write team capsules for the lowest seeds coming into the tournament. I tackled Crusaders, Rattlers, Islanders, and Monarchs. The Monarchs were especially sweet for me, as I am taking some classes through Old Dominion and have become quite a fan. [...]
Where The Hell Are… This Season’s Targets?
Posted in College Basketball, Who The Hell Are…? on March 14, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Just thought I should recap my campaign to severely damage the fortunes of several mid-major or surprising major teams this season with the “Who The Hell Are…” feature. Without further Freddy Adu, I ask: Where The Hell Are: The Winthrop Eagles, The Wright State Raiders, The VCU Rams, The New Mexico State Aggies, The Nevada [...]
Revisiting “Book Review of Cinderella-The Rise of Mid Major College Basketball”
Posted in Blogrollin', College Basketball, Who The Hell Are…? on March 13, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I’ve been seeing the Cinderella book popping up as a search term recently, and gaining steam as the tournament approaches and everyone looks back fondly at George Mason’s amazing Final Four run. As a service to my readers, who are hungry for all the college basketball coverage they can get their hands on, and to [...]
What You Should Read While You’re Waiting for Thursday
Posted in Blogrollin', College Basketball, Who The Hell Are…? on March 12, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I love this weekend, when everything is so up in the air in college basketball. But then the brackets are out, you’ve made your picks, and the slow, creeping wait sets in. Well, fear not, my friends. The internets are still aglow with fascinating people who are expert at wasting company time every day of [...]
No, I Am Not Going to Shut Up About UNT’s Jazz Band
Posted in College Basketball, Who The Hell Are…? on March 8, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I finally found what I needed to support my contention that the UNT One O’Clock Lab Band needs to go to the NCAAs – YouTube video. Sadly, the two eejit local morning-show hosts get more airtime than the band, but we get a snippet about 1 minute in, and then the band plays out for [...]
Petition Drive

My quixotic internet petition drive to get the University of North Texas jazz band to accompany the basketball team to their first-round game is gathering steam moss. I’m up to 30 signatures, but I’m encouraged by the fact that the last few names are not people I know personally, so it must have circulated at [...]
If I Ran the Small Conference Tournaments

And now to use a little trick I learned from Brian at One More Dying Quail. When last he wrote for If I Ran…, he gave a teaser of the first paragraph of his article before linking to the other site. Sharp, very sharp. So now, I will do the same. Here is the first [...]
Tournament Jazz

By now anyone reading this blog knows I am a college basketball fan. What you may not have known is that I am also a fan of jazz music. When I saw that the University of North Texas was playing in tonight’s Sun Belt Conference final for the auto-bid to the NCAA tournament, I immediately [...]
Championship Week Also-Rans
Posted in Blogrollin', College Basketball, Who The Hell Are…? on March 6, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
We all love to hear the stories that researchers dig up about small-conference participants in the Big Dance. But since we’ll get to hear those stories ad-nauseum over the next few weeks, I’m going to pick the bones of Championship Week and find the things I’m going to miss from the sad detritus of tournament [...]
