Or, more accurately, stop reading this blog at this web address. Everything has been moved over to: http://www.spartansweblog.com You’ll want to update your bookmarks as any new content won’t appear here anymore. (I’ll probably keep this version up for a while to direct any traffic from links/searches to the new site.) And I think anyone [...]

We need a bigger basketball arena!

AKA They’re numbers and they’re MSU basketball-related, so I must analyze them. Despite once again selling out every home game, MSU ranked just 17th in the nation in average home attendance this season (from the page I’ve linked to, there’s a link to a Word file with all the details). This is, of course, a [...]

It’s now been a little over two months since I started this endeavor, and I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for continuing to stop by and read the insights I have to offer (and by “insights,” I mean “paragraphs of densely-packed statistics with a few actual independently-derived observations thrown in”). Thanks, in [...]

Three minimal game previews have been posted, in case you’d like to chat amongst yourselves in the comment sections. Here’s a topic: Why the Holy Roman Empire was neither Holy, Roman, nor an Empire. Or you could talk about the games. That’ll give me something to read when I get back. Final link before departure: [...]

Due to various leisure-related activities, I’ll be posting game previews–but not game recaps–for the next three MSU games. I’ll put up a UW-Green Bay preview later tonight, but will then depart the blogosphere until next Tuesday or Wednesday. I’ll try to get a couple posts up late next week, including a conference preview of some [...]

So we’re a week into this endeavor. And I’ve been blogging considerably more than I thought I would be. This is turning out to be quite enjoyable, but also more time-consuming than I anticipated. So I’m going to take tonight off. But in the interest of making this a learning experience, I’d love to hear [...]

A long, long time ago (this past March) in a land far, far away (Indiana), there lived a college basketball analyst called the Big Ten Wonk. And Big Ten basketball fans everywhere could look forward each and every day of the basketball season to reading witty and statistically-sound commentary on the greatest college conference in [...]
