Grizzlies & Spurs
Last week Scott and I went the the Memphis Grizzlies and San Antonio Spurs game. The game wasn’t much of a game, but it was a good time.

College Basketball Season
College basketball season is here. It started over the weekend, but for me really kicked off last night when Kentucky played Duke and won. It was their third game of the season, but the first against a top tier team. Excluding defensive rebounding I think they looked pretty good. Since Kentucky basketball has returned I […]

March Madness Opening Week
The first week of March Madness has come to an end and it’s been a wild one. Of the 11.5 million brackets completed on ESPN, only 1 remained perfect at the start of Saturday. This tournament is all about surviving and winning by 1 on a controversial call or blowing a team out counts the […]

Pursuit of Perfection
The Kentucky basketball team is pursuing perfection. I’m sure every team was, but Kentucky has made it through their regular season without a loss. There were a couple scares, overtimes, and below par performances, but they’ve made it through the first 31 games. For the most part the regular season doesn’t matter. It’s just preparation […]

The team recently had what was essentially […]

Human Error in Sports
Human errors in sports are a reality. They’ve change the results of games and cost people a spot in the record books, just ask Armando Galarraga. What should we do to try to eliminate these? Football has a challenge system allowing the coach to ask for a couple of plays a game to be reviewed. […]

College Athletics
I have a problem with the NCAA right now, specifically the NCAA Clearinghouse. The job of the Clearinghouse is to let you know if an athlete is eligible to play. If the Clearinghouse gives a green light, the kid should be able to play without future penalty to the school. If the Clearinghouse later learns […]

Tourney Time & Jealousy
The NCAA Tournament field has been announced and Game One has been played. A lot of Kentucky fans are upset about our path, but I’m not too bothered by it. Assuming the higher seeds advance, we’ll play East Tennessee State, Texas, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Duke, and Kansas. I’m not upset with this path because it’s […]
