Girmindl's Ghost

A diary of Shaker High School's 2005-2006 basketball season, a retelling of Shaker's fabled 1979-1980 season, and general commentary on high school hoops, updated daily...


"I like sitting in the back row. I found that sitting against the wall is just easier on your back." -Dean Smith, on the comfort of the H-gym bleachers



Welcome!
If you've never visited Girmindl's Ghost before, I suggest you start by browsing through the articles in the FAQ section on the right. That will give you a better sense of what I'm up to here, and why there's a picture of H-gym to the left.

Feedback is encouraged in the comments and to the email address on the right. If you have specific knowledge of either the 2005 or 1979 team, please pass it along!

The good, the bad, and the ugly: Well, let's just lay it on the line.

The good: Bison home opener tomrrow night! It's the Girmindl tournament. And yes, I'll be there, sitting 12 rows behind the Shaker bench.

The bad: Girmindl's Ghost will not be written this year, because...

The ugly: I'm moving to Washington, DC later this winter.

I just got a job at Congressional Reserach Services, doing policy analysis for Congress. It's a job I'm super excited about, don't get me wrong. But I'm still bummed to be leaving Albany. And missing Shaker hoops games is no small part of that.

That said, I'll still be in town for a while. I may or may not do long game recaps here like last year. I dunno. Maybe I'll just occasionally post stuff. Check back and see. And come find me at the games if you want to talk Shaker hoops. I'll still be sitting there, 12 rows us, dreaming about another sectional title.

And if anyone is interested in taking over Girmindl's Ghost, email me...
