Final (Four) Predictions
Finally, some predictions and my official Final Four predictions: 1. Siena will make the Elite Eight. Duke is in the easiest bracket but the Blue Devils will be upended in the Sweet 16 by the Saints. Good reigns over evil yet again. 2. UTEP will make the Sweet 16. UTEP actually has a lot of talent [...]

Finally, the South… 1. #1 Duke Blue Devils v. #16 Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions – As much as I would love to hate on the dookies, my Heels are in the NIT so I won’t say anything. 2. #8 California Golden Bears v. #9 Louisville Cardinals – Cal is one of the more disappointing teams in the [...]

Now let’s look at the West Region. 1. #1 Syracuse Orange v. #16 Vermont Catamounts – Vermont lost to Binghamton this year. 2. #8 Gonzaga Bulldogs v. #9 Florida State Seminoles – Interestingly enough, the Zags are the underdogs despite being the higher seed. I suppose that’s what happens when you sell out big time in the [...]

Now a look at each of the matchups in the East: 1. #1 Kentucky Wildcats v. #16 East Tennessee State Buccaneers – John Wall should have his own personal SportsCenter Top 10 from this one. 2. #8 Texas Longhorns v. #9 Wake Forest Demon Deacons – Two pretty disappointing teams, with Texas being the more disappointing of [...]

Let’s take a quick look at each of the matchups in the Midwest Region: 1. #1 Kansas Jayhawks v. #16 Lehigh Mountain Hawks – Well, the line is at 26 and the O/U at 146. If Kansas doesn’t score 100, I’ll be disappointed. 2. #8 UNLV Rebels v. #9 Northern Iowa Panthers – I think I heard [...]

Monday, March 15, 2010
Ah yes, March Madness is finally here. A time for Cinderellas, upsets, and a bunch of college kids enjoying the time of their lives. And for me, a reminder of how bad North Carolina was this year. I’ll be posting a more in-depth look at the field later on but here are my early thoughts [...]

I read tonight on foxsports.com that Elin Nordegren has agreed to move back in with Tiger Woods. And now I’m wondering why in the hell she would do such a thing. He cheated on her God knows how many times and honestly, what’s going to make him stop? A little sex therapy? The guilt he [...]

I am totally jocking fivetool’s style here but I saw this video and had to put it up in honor of him. Amazing how these guys can stay relevant for so long. Great for us though. They are pure entertainment. SHE’S GONNA BLOW.

Saturday, February 27, 2010
Kim Yu-Na’s coronation as Korea’s Queen was completed Thursday night as she stood atop the medal podium with the gold hanging around her neck. Kim dazzled the world with a performance for the ages, one that will go down as possibly the greatest in Olympic figure skating history and one of the greatest in any [...]
Continue reading...A New Kind of Nervous
Wednesday, February 24, 2010
I’ve been nervous about a lot of things before: tests, doctor’s appointments, any Duke/UNC game, whenever a fly ball heads Luis Castillo’s way. But there’s always that extra bit of nervousness whenever I watch like the World Cup or the World Baseball Classic. Something involving the major sports though. The Olympics are great and I [...]
