With a particular shout-out to SectionEE, the Beyond the Arc guys, and others who are already writing game reports.

Many of you know of Kyle Whelliston over at http://www.midmajority.com/ .  Wandering bard of mid-major basketball, and a fan of the ARC.  His site has been one of the best places on the web, for years, to read about mid-major basketball (and, so long as you don't miss the BCS conferences, basketball in general).

In honor of Season 8, and as a metamorphosis of his website, he's gone crowd sourcing.  He's soliciting mid-major game reports from any and all, aiming for 800 this season. 

I don't know what will come of it, but it's a cute idea.  I wrote one up myself for a Cal - Austin Peay game last night.

Butler and Wright State are getting a certain amount of love - Valpo could use some more.  Or, whatever mid-major might be geographically close to you (he's asking for in-person reports).

I'd encourage you to give it a try.  And, especially, for those who are already writing game reports to consider also submitting one or more at http://www.midmajority.com/.  Presumably you can even plug your own site in the report, and it'd be good publicity for Valpo, for the Horizon League, and for mid-major basketball.

One warning: you do need to sign up for a game before it happens (or, latest, midnight central time the day of the game?).  So, if you want to submit your Akron report, now's the time to register and sign up for the game.

Here's a home team report from a Butler fan

Including some photos of their new National Finalist banner (with mis-matched punctuation).

You going to let that stand alone?
