March Madness 2006: George Mason? Really?

March 26th, 2006 · 4 Comments

My bracket is officially done now, reduced to a conglomeration of red strikeouts. If you look closely, you’ll see that I managed to correctly pick only 8 of the sweet sixteen teams, 3 of the elite eight teams and no final four teams. Of the teams I picked to play in the championship, […]

March Madness 2006: Behold the Burning Pile of Picks

March 21st, 2006 · 11 Comments

There’s really not much to say here. The first and second rounds of the tournament were not kind to my bracket. Like, not even a little bit. Kansas lost in the first round. North Carolina lost in the second round. The Georges accomplished more than their fair share in […]

I cannot well describe the excitement this time of year brings for me — we won’t bring up the loss of productivity as I continuously refresh ESPN’s scoreboard during the day.

USD Doesn’t Make the Playoffs, Nicole Gets Angry

November 9th, 2005 · No Comments

The Divison II football team with the highest total offense per game, a top quarterback (a Harlan Hill candidate), an 8-2 record, a share of the North Central Conference title, and a #11 national ranking (or #8 depending on which poll you follow) will not be in the playoffs. Seems a little odd doesn’t […]

An Open Letter to the USD Football Team

October 4th, 2005 · 5 Comments

Dear USD Football team,
We had some good times a few years ago. I would go to your games, you would play horribly, okay, or marginally well. Every once in a while you would pull a State win out of the hat to satiate your public. Yet, I would never go so far […]

March Madness 2005: Day 4 - More of the Same

March 20th, 2005 · 3 Comments

There’s really not much to say about today. Teams won, teams lost. My bracket is pretty much down for the count. What else is there to talk about?
The bright spot for the day was my pick of NC State over U Conn. It’s not much but it’s something. The low […]
