As my Facebook friends know, I spent four days in New Orleans, LA last week, experiencing the city for the first time. This week, in honor of that trip, I bring you a tale of my time there. It will be like when your friends show you photos of their trip to some such place. Except this will be interesting…. Read more »
Live-tweeting below. You can join in by clicking “Make a comment” at the top of the window, or by tweeting something @brendanloy, or by emailing 14115@scribblelive.com. [Live window removed; full transcript after the jump.] Folks, this isn’t just a basketball game. It isn’t just a title game. It isn’t just the first game in my entire life that I’ve had… Read more »
My ability to live-tweet during Saturday’s games will, I suspect, be considerably limited, for toddler-related reasons. Nevertheless, I will once again be confining my tweets, and any comments thereon, to the window below. In addition, tweets (including retweets) from Kyle Whelliston, Andy Glockner, Pat Forde and Seth Davis and Mark Schlabach, and Butler student Sarah Black, will also appear automatically… Read more »
So, in honor of Butler’s Final Four appearance this weekend, and quest for a mid-major national championship, I want to temporarily change my blog masthead from the newly added Denver panorama to a photo from my visit to Hinkle Fieldhouse for the Bulldogs’ 2007 BracketBusters game against Southern Illinois. I’ve narrowed my options down to two contenders: (Full size) (Full… Read more »

Yet again, instead of letting tweets take over my blog, I’m going to temporarily confine them here. But I’m doing it a little bit differently this time. My tweets, and any comments thereon, will appear in the first window below. Tweets from everyone on my college basketball list will appear in the second window below.
Again, instead of letting tweets take over my blog, I’m going to temporarily confine them to the window below — and not just my tweets, but tweets from everyone on my college basketball list. Go Mid-Majors! Beat Other Guys! Also — with apologies to La Rev and the gang, and a shout-out to David K. — Go Washington! Beat ‘Eers!… Read more »
Rather than allow my homepage to be overrun by tweets again today, I’m going to funnel everything into this window. To comment, either click “Make a comment,” or tweet something @brendanloy. In addition to my tweets, any tweets from a bunch of Gonzaga bloggers, and other college-hoops bloggers, will also auto-post. P.S. Loyette says, “Go Zags!” UPDATE: I’m changing the… Read more »
OMG #snowpocalypse!!! Better just stay inside and watch basketball. (That’d be one game on the TV, one on my computer, and one on my iPod Touch, courtesy of the MMOD app. I heart technology.) Yup… it’s a snowy, sleepy afternoon in the Loy household.
Okay, so admittedly, at 2 years and 2 1/2 months old, Loyette isn’t actually a “baby” anymore. But the piece of paper pictured below is her first NCAA bracket: We filled it out over the course of three days, each session starting with great enthusiasm (“Do a racket, Daddy!”), which gradually waned as her attention wandered. Eventually, we’d stop and… Read more »
