After the horror of last year when all the number 1 seeds made it to the final four, I’m betting this year gets us back to the days of upsets and multi-numerical final fours. Basically what I’ve done is fill out two brackets. The first is with Michael Orr from The AD Hall. I filled [...]

College Hoops Observations: Duke and I Won!

I won the SP Sports ACC Tournament bracket challenge. Sure only four people participated, but frankly even if twenty people had been in it I still would’ve won. I only missed two games in the entire tournament; VT beat Miami and Georgia Tech upset Clemson. Maybe I should’ve seen the VT victory over Miami coming, [...]

Obviously basketball has taken priority in my life and that is reflected on the website. I’ve missed posting the last two weeks of Super 14 Rugby results. While I doubt anyone was seriously troubled by this, here are the results from the past two weeks and the slate of games for this weekend with a [...]
College Hoops Observations: The Calm Before the Storm

I’m writing this before Duke plays BC tonight because if Duke loses I won’t write another one of these until just before the NCAA tournament. So here’s the random thoughts I’ve got going on: Ty Lawson won ACC Player of the Year, which I actually agree with because he was the most indispensable player on [...]

First of all, there is no basketball God. Duke can’t keep up with unc to save their life and College of Charleston beat Davidson in the conference tournament semifinals only to lose to Chattanooga in the championship game. So CofC first ends Davidson’s 40 some odd game home winning streak to become the first SoCon [...]
What is Manny Ramirez’s Fantasy Value?

My fantasy baseball draft is in two weeks or so and my fantasy team name is The Reverse Cowgirls, so I have a lot to live up too. Both ESPN and Yahoo (where I play) have Manny ranked as the 28th player to be drafted. The other night, while doing research I changed my personal [...]
Laettner Recreates “The Shot”
Posted in Basketball on March 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Let’s see, I like vitamin water, I love Duke, and I like when commercials get a little ‘salty’. Thus, this is now officially my favorite commercial. The fact that Pitino calls Laettner an asshole is hilarious. So here’s the commercial and after that it’s the actual shot, which I could watch on an endless loop [...]
Super 14 Week 3 Results

There’s really no reason to comment on these posts where I post the scores and a brief summary of the Super 14 weekend results so I don’t know if it’s a waste of my time to relay that information or if I should just put the scores up and call it a day. So I’m [...]
