Q&A: Bahn on Basketball, Part 1

With the arrival of the hoops season upon us, we decided it was time to chat about this year’s Razorback team with Chris Bahn, ArkansasSports360.com’s outstanding Hog beat reporter. Bahn covers both the football and basketball teams, and his work is an essential part of our daily sports reading. In the first installment of a two-part Q&A, Bahn discusses John Pelphrey’s performance last season, the dynamic freshmen duo of Courtney Fortson and Rotnei Clarke, and the likelihood of Michael Was

Nashvillians are already opposing English charter change, with or without campaign

Hundreds write letters, blog posts, join new Facebook groupsNashville residents are increasingly urging an "Against" vote on January 22, in opposition to the proposed English charter change (also described as English Only, English First, or a language ban). With the ballot box little more than two months away (and early voting starting even sooner), the grassroots opposition has been simmering for months on blogs and in letters to the editors of local newspapers, and it has now spread to Facebo

Hidden Jazz Downloads (Vol. 6)

Every couple of months or so, I spend a few hours running my e-fingers through the iTunes' "bins" looking for jazz gems that have been quietly added to the store's inventory. At iTunes, it seems, albums are flipped in abstractly, like baseball cards, barely promoted and sometimes even mislabeled. That happened with a James Moody collection I found recently. As jazz lovers know, iTunes doesn't do much to market jazz titles, preferring instead to plow the glitz into rap and rock. This means many

Just Another Symptom

I don’t particularly like writing posts like these, because just like any fan who has a team, yet has a liberated ideal about college football outside of that immediate fandom, I like Will Muschamp. He’s intense, seems to get the best out of guys who play for his defense, and has deserved a head coaching gig for a while now. While his current work with Texas isn’t the most impressive in terms of keeping points off the board, the important part is that Texas leads the Big 12 in scoring defense b

Which colleges produce the most NFL talent? Part II

Yesterday I looked at what my algorithm thought were the ten top NCAA programs in terms of producing NFL talent. Today, we’ll look at some other teams of interest. Just missing the top 10 is my alma mater, a school which has had moderate success at various times, but isn’t thought of as a football power: Arizona St. QB Jake Plummer 76 RB John Henry Johnson 57 RB Gerald Riggs 54 RC Charley Taylor 82 RC Jerry Smith 71 RC John Jefferson 54 RC Larry Walton 42 T Marvel Smith 45 T Levi Jones 34 G Ra

Who Is That Guy?

If your name is Finn, Andrew, or Dino, you will be happy to know that you were correct last week, The Who Is That Guy? was indeed Lambert Wilson. You will also be sad to know that on average, Mitchieville receives upwards of 40 pieces of spam a day, which means I’m constantly housecleaning this place trying to rid that crap out of the comment section. You may want to think about that the next time you’re having fun, guessing the names of b-roll actors and looking at various pictures of people

Which colleges produce the most NFL talent?

First a plug: if you’re an NBA fan, you should check out what Neil Paine (with assists from Justin Kubatko) has been doing with the basketball-reference.com blog. It’s good hoops-related reading in the same spirit as this blog. Neil recently did a couple of posts on which colleges have produced the most NBA talent. Inspired by that, and my NFL all-franchise team posts (AFC - NFC) from this summer, I’ve decided to create a “team” from the talent produced by each college, and rank them. The ru

Mayer Hawthorne “Just Ain’t Gonna Work Out”

Mayer Hawthorne: “Just Ain’t Gonna Work Out” CLICK HERE : Mayer Hawthorne grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan, just outside of Detroit, and vividly remembers, as a child, driving with his father and tuning the car radio in to the rich soul and jazz history the region provided. “Most of the best music ever made came out of Detroit,” claims the singer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, who counts Isaac Hayes, Leroy Hutson, Mike Terry, and Barry White among his influences , but draws the mo

The Youngest & Oldest MLS Cup Starting Lineups

The Crew's young stars (Eddie Gaven, Chad Marshall, Robbie Rogers) may get plenty of attention, but their lineup is basically the same age as the Red Bulls thanks to their three over-30 players. If the Red Bulls are injury free and start their first team lineup (Andrew Boyens and Sinisa Ubiparipovic), then they actually will be younger. The average age of the Crew's starting lineup next Sunday (assuming it stays the same) is 27.54 years. The NY lineup may vary depending one those two injured pl

Game Notes: Celtics-Nuggets

by Ben Collins Pregame: - The unannounced benefits of a World Champion? The pre-game spread is fantastic. It’s Chinese food tonight. It was Mexican food last night, I’m told. There are also chocolate bars. God bless America. - Before we get started tonight, just wanted to let you know I saw Anthony Carter walking to Chinatown earlier in the day. He was by himself, in full Nuggets gear, screaming, “SWEAR TO GOD, GUYS, I’M ON THE NUGGETS.” (OK, that last part is 96% untrue.) But, really, I won
