Yeah, I keep forgetting to update. Winter is usually a slow time of the year (news-wise) for me anyway. On to the infamous Cordova's Ball State Report. If you're not a college football fan, you may want to skip this one. I am pleased to see that second year head coach Pete Lembo has put together … Continue reading The Recruiting Report

More Thought on Ball St Football
I must admit, last year I was a sad little guy after watching my beloved Cardinals get thrashed by just about everyone in the MAC. I talked about how upset I was with former coach Stan Parrish's recruiting efforts and was not really looking forward to 2011. An hour later he was caned (stupid typos, though … Continue reading More Thought on Ball St Football
Fantasy Football Update
Many of you already know that I am a huge football fan. Pop Warner, high school, college, NFL... doesn't matter, I like it all. This may seem strange, coming from a SF/F author, but I really, really dig sports. I think because, unlike many of my fellow writers out there, I excelled at sports throughout … Continue reading Fantasy Football Update

So... who thinks that there's going to be an SEC vs SEC BCS title game this year? If you think that, let me break it down for you as two why that won't happen. Four words: PAC-12 Commissioner Larry Scott. This man, who took the PAC-10 from near irrelevance (remember when it was USC and the PAC-9?) … Continue reading BCS Buster
Peyton Manning for MVP
I'm starting this now, and I will be mocked. Ruthlessly. And many people who are Tom Brady fans will want to eviscerate me in public. With a spoon. Peyton Manning for 2011 NFL MVP. Hear me out before you bring out your soup spoons. In the history of the NFL, we've heard the term "most … Continue reading Peyton Manning for MVP
College Football Thoughts
Well, the majority of the 2010 college football season is over (barring a few more games), and as always I'm astounded by the beat down given to the Big Ten conference. I have a lot of thoughts about this after watching the TCU-Wisconsin game yesterday (don't you dare call it an upset, the Horned Frogs … Continue reading College Football Thoughts
Ball State Football Thoughts
Non-writing stuff right now. Feel free to ignore if you don't like college football. For the record, my alma mater will not "go bowling" again this year. I must firmly accept that 2008 was an aberration and will (more than likely) never happen again, at least not while I'm still alive. So what happened? Well, a multitude … Continue reading Ball State Football Thoughts
