Having recently completed its 9th season, The Mid-Majority is a community chronicle of the smaller Division I college basketball conferences. Last year, the theme was Team. Six groups of five (plus a fantasy mid-major player) were engaged in friendly Amazing Race-style competition, criss-crossing Hoops Nation to provide awesome college basketball content. Season X (2013-14) will be our final one.

S7 December 20, 2010 Kyle, I remember reading your "Lombardi" piece when you first posted it, but since you referenced it, I re-read it. What strikes me now, is what separates the game you talk about, compared to what's covered by the larger sports media. To them wins and losses adds to the entertainment. Basketball (...
S7 December 11, 2010 It was Wednesday, March 30, 2010. The Crowne Plaza Indianapolis Airport was bustling with activity. For the first time in years, every single room was filled for a week straight, and at any given time there was a line four deep at the front desk. Rolling suitcases slid and zipped across the slick ...
S7 November 22, 2010 INDIANAPOLIS -- Nearly every location on earth is just a geocode. Memories serve to transform places into something more, and the accumulation of experiences constantly shift and change them into important places. Cutting through the middle of the city on a Sunday morning on Interstate 70, I notic...
S6 April 6, 2010 INDIANAPOLIS, April 5 -- One hour after the end of the Closing Ceremony of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, I re-entered the United States via the Peace Bridge border crossing. I was shaking and crying. As I made my way down Interstate 5 in Washington State, I made an emotional pact with myself that I...
S6 January 15, 2010 INDIANAPOLIS -- I threw back the blinds. Behind a south-facing window was the capital city against a dusty chalkboard sky. The jagged comb of the skyline sputtered and twinkled in the night's final moments of darkness, set off against the great brick anchor that sat alongside to the immediate righ...
S6 December 25, 2009 INDIANAPOLIS -- Many stories are bolstered by a strong sense of place. Locations can affect and shape the motivations and actions of the humans that move within them, so much so that they become characters themselves. I don't know how many stories out there contain three-and-a-half star airport ...
S6 December 11, 2009 Ever have one of those months? Not about one of "those months," not the vague, indefinite bad stretch of luck the phrase usually implies. I am talking about an oddly specific month. Maybe what I really mean is "that month." You thought you had everything in line -- planning, good health, infrastruc...
S6 November 12, 2009 INDIANAPOLIS -- We're all mature grownups. We can be totally honest here, right? We've all waited seven months for college basketball to return. When it did come back, we got three days of pre-planned, pre-scheduled blowouts, all in the name of video games and cancer research. Sub-Red Line teams w...
S6 November 6, 2009 Dayton, you had a good run. There are so many reasons why the Birthplace of Aviation was the first capital of Hoops Nation. No other place can match its fan awesomeness-to-population ratio; the University of Dayton Arena will always be packed, no matter if the Flyers are 28-1 or 1-28. Since the At...
