During last night's selection show, the studio crew had high praise for Samford's Bucky McMillan, and I thought, "Wow, here's someone we really ought ...

Yep, we might have been forced to cheer for SIU-Edwardsville by now -- which I, for one, would not have done.

I plan to do the same while keeping an eye on the D-II tournament. McCollum's Northwest Missouri State team won its first-round game in a blowout and ...

I'm not sure why the above sentence about "KS being disinterested in SIU for the past decade" was attributed to me. Appears to have been some sort of ...
