VICTORY SPORTS NETWORK’S PRESEASON NAIA COLLEGE FOOTBALL TOP 25 IS OUT!
The Saint Xavier Cougars are listed at Number 2 in this year’s VSN Preseason Top 25, but I have their logo pictured here because not only do these Cougars hail from Chicago, the land of Rich Koz (AKA Son of Svengoolie AKA just plain Svengoolie) but their head coach, Mike Feminis, makes a habit of showing odd B-movies on the team bus on road trips! That little nugget came out in Balladeer’s Blog’s interview with three Cougar stars last football season. Anyway, Continue reading

FORTY-SIX NAIA BASEBALL PLAYERS SELECTED IN 2011 MLB DRAFT
Point Loma Nazarene University Sea Lions Baseball Stadium
It’s time for a tradition I started last summer – announcing which baseball players from NAIA colleges got selected in the Major League Baseball Draft. If you have dreams of playing in the Majors, NAIA schools are just as much a stepping stone as the other divisions of college sports.
As with last year’s list, the nicknames I give to the players on this list are, to the best of my knowledge, purely my own kidding invention and any resemblance to actual nicknames applied to these players is strictly coincidental … and I’m sure they’re eternally grateful for that fact.
“Orion” Ryan O’Sullivan – Oklahoma City Stars – to the Dodgers
Jesse “James” Darrah – Continue reading
