How could NCAA tournament expansion affect Belmont and the Atlantic Sun? The biggest money-making, most exciting, and fundamentally American event in all of college sports is at a crossroads. This time of year, hoards of people spend hours agonizing over their national title picks. Yet, more than five million people [...]
On March 16, Belmont women’s basketball head coach Tony Cross announced his resignation after more than 26 years at the helm of Lady Bruins basketball. Cross, who played basketball at Belmont from 1970-1974, finished his coaching career with a record of 544-255. Those wins rank him in the Top 20 [...]
The Belmont baseball team, despite playing only a month and a half, has already had a full season’s share of ups and downs. The Bruins started the season with a 10-game winning streak, which included a win against then-ranked Western Kentucky. From there, the team lost six in a row, [...]
Inside the art gallery at 1807 1/2 21st Ave. S. in Hillsboro Village hang 10 works by Dutch artist Louis Reith. The show, entitled “Avalanche,” is a commentary on winter, using a collage of contrasting geometric shapes and patterns. The space is not unlike most art galleries in Nashville—it’s well [...]
In 2000, Belmont’s campus was decorated with posters, and the caf was home to stacks of fliers promoting then freshman Tyler James. He didn’t have a MySpace, Facebook or a blog. He didn’t yet have a fan base. He didn’t even get accepted to the School of Music. Ten years [...]

12 South is the place where the cool artsy people you knew in college in the 90s, moved, married and made babies. Past the liquor store, past the Bass Street Missionary Baptist Church, past the gray Hillside apartments, chipped sidewalks, and chain link fences, a short sign lets the visitor [...]
The delicious biscuits and preserves served at Loveless Café are almost as well known as the country music singers Nashville is famous for. It’s more than a restaurant; it’s a place both tourists and natives have been going for six decades. In 1951, the Loveless Café and Motel began as [...]

We all have those creepy friends on Facebook – the ones that leave a million comments on your pictures, “like” all your statuses, probably live in a basement, and quite possibly have never shared an actual conversation with you. Because of their cows, crops and endless updates, I vowed to [...]
I have five days worth of music on my computer. This is by no means the largest collection out there, but five days is a lot of music. What does anyone really need with 120 hours of songs? I have no idea, but I sure have a hard time deleting [...]
If there’s anything that I’ve learned from my tenure at Belmont, it’s that you never quite know what, if anything, you’re going to take away from a convocation event. Sometimes it’s straightforward – Honors doing scenes from “Merchant of Venice” can only go so many ways. Others though? Not so [...]
