msnyder — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 20:00:06 +0000

TweetWhen the NCAA released the 2011 version of the Men's Basketball Championship Handbook back in November, this little nugget caused some head scratching around D3 world: Home/Away Multiplier.

I Love Listening To Bob Knight on TV

msnyder — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 21:25:10 +0000

TweetLast night I had the TV tuned to ESPN while I was painting a room in the basement (the colors will be maroon and gold, if you must know). I listened to most of two and a half games (there wasn't much watching due to the painting), but the game I enjoyed the most was [...]

Don’t Throw Out The Records In This Rivalry

msnyder — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 18:46:55 +0000

Beware of Kevin Kooiker in a Striped Shirt

msnyder — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 18:55:19 +0000

Tweetusually try to ignore the officials. Not necessarily during the game, I like to get on their case as much as the next guy, but I try not to think about them during my post game thoughts and discussions. They make bad calls, but it's usually not too one sided, and I (usually) let go [...]
