I'm a typical 26-year-old sports writer who thinks he knows everything, and anything but.

Having graduated from an SEC institution for Public Relations, I'm aggressively pursuing a career in collegiate athletics communication, media and/or information. Welcome to my dream.

I strongly believe statistics tell a more convincing story than any human ever could, though they can't do it alone. That would be a pretty boring story, right? I include a heavy dose of statistical analysis with my commentary, in hopes to make arguments based on fact and not on public opinion.

I am partial only to the SEC, which - by the way - is better than your conference.

Enjoy the reads, and don't be lazy...get in the conversation and comment!

Greg, I'm not sure exactly what your problem is. Auburn is one of, if not THE, worst team in this league and Arkansas was EASILY the worst last season.

You beat a terrible team by 11 at home. Congratulations.

Sounds like you need to decrease the size of your ego just a bit.

Ari, from what I remember of Pickett he was dynamic, fast and a solid defender but streaky as a shooter.

Auburn isn't going to slay anyone. At least there's football......

Missouri State University is a "cupcake"?

You are young and obviously don't do a lot of research.

SEC teams keep comin to Springfield and goin home with an "L". Last year it was Arkansas. Last night it was Auburn.

You're not very good. Poorly coached basketball team. SEC nonsense like "cupcake" backfired on you.

Hi Kurt,
Since you're an SEC bball enthusiast, I wanted to ask you what you think of Rico Pickett, who transferred to Manhattan via Miami Dade and Alabama. Aside from the off the court issues, what is Pickett like as a player?
Thanks,
Ari

Hey Kurt,
I'd really appreciate if you could check this out.

It's a unique article about Manhattan's Devon Austin who is adjusting to his first year of pro ball in Europe and I think it speaks a lot about what these guys need to go through in order to achieve their goal of playing for a living.
Take care,
Ari
