March Madness

Last night, Faulkner University clinched a share of its conference regular-season championship and will be the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament. The Eagles also secure a berth in the NAIA national championship tournament. Faulkner hasn't won a national championship since 2001, so we're due.


We play some pretty good small-college ball down here.

Go Eagles.

UPDATE! Our law school also has a team competing for the very first time in the American Bar Association's National Moot Court competition in St. Louis. Yesterday we beat Ave Maria. Tonight, the Jones School of Law Moot Court team defeated the University of Florida. Read that again, my friends.

Faulkner beats Florida.


Congratulations, students. You're making history for our little school. Next up is Arizona, and you can take them.

Their coach is my friend, Prof. Garman, a graduate of * ahem * Vanderbilt Law School. He sends this report:
