Sports is one of many loves. I'm the senior editor for the Bear Zone (MercerBears.blogspot.com) and a columnist for Mercer University's Cluster Newspaper. I also work for Mercer Athletics and the Atlantic Sun Conference broadcasting games through webcasts on ASun.TV

This idea has been tried before. It is called I-AA (now FCS). Prior to 1978, there was no Division I-A and Division I-AA. The NCAA convinced...

Growing up in the south, I always felt a little out of place when the topic of hunting or fishing was breached. I had caught my fair share of sunfish on my Grandfather’s dock growing up, but I never shot a gun until my sophomore year in college...

When you annually sneak up on big-time teams and upset them, the surprise factor starts to wear away. Such was the case when the upset-prone Mercer Bears took on ACC power Florida State on Saturday, as the Seminoles cruised to an easy 89-50 victory...

Take care,
