This won’t really mean much of anything to regular blog readers, but over on Twitter, the quirky little community of mid-major obsessives orbiting The Mid-Majority is having a blast trying to “find” Kyle Whelliston, “Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego”-style, based on hints he’s dropped while hiding from “The Knowledge” (of who won the Super Bowl) during his annual… Read more »
As if global warming, er, cooling … “climate change” isn’t a big enough reason to PANIC!!!, now we have the magnetic poles flipping: Forget about global warming—man-made or natural—what drives planetary weather patterns is the climate and what drives the climate is the sun’s magnetosphere and its electromagnetic interaction with a planet’s own magnetic field. When the field shifts, when… Read more »
I’ll be at a Super Bowl party this afternoon, and likely won’t be doing much live-tweeting (though any tweets I do post will, of course, appear at left), so I’m not going to set up an auto-importing live-blog thingy. But if anyone wants to comment on the game (or the commercials), here’s the place to do it. Go, uh, Packers!… Read more »
College basketball is a funny sport. Something like 40 percent of the regular season takes place in November and December, when almost nobody is paying attention.

After a heartbreaking overtime loss Thursday at Arkansas-Little Rock, the Denver Pioneers face a crucial test tonight at Arkansas State — a team the Pioneers beat at home by 38 points two weeks ago, but one that is clearly better than it played that day. The game in Jonesboro tips at 6pm MST. Denver is 7-2 in conference, while Arkansas… Read more »
Denver travels to Arkansas-Little Rock in a crucial game tonight at 6:00 PM Mountain Time. My live-tweeting will be limited by the girls’ bedtimes, but I’ll do my best. Meanwhile, it’s National Pixelvision Day!!! I’ll be live-#pixelvision-tweeting the Irvine vs. Fullerton game at 8:00 PM. Anyway, you can see the magic unfold below. (And if you reply, please tag your… Read more »
Well… that was one of the nuttiest things I’ve ever done. But so much fun. Totally worth it. My most memorable basketball experience since BracketBusters 2007. I hope to do a full write-up later. For now, here are two videos, neatly showing the beginning and the end. The first is of DU Bally in Laramie at 6:02 PM, watching the… Read more »
This isn’t technically DU-related, but over on The Living Room Times, I’m liveblogging a basketball road trip to Laramie and (hopefully) Fort Collins with the Pioneer Pulse mascot, DU Bally, and me. Tune in!
DU Bally, official mascot of Pioneer Pulse, sez: Buy a Mid-Majority membership! Help get Kyle and Bally (the original Bally) out to DU’s Magness Arena (maybe) and the Mountain Time Zone (definitely)! Also, you get stuff! It’s like an NPR membership, except better, because it involves mid-major hoops!
Really, really cold:
