Well, I promised more frequent updates, and I still intend to deliver. Since that post three weeks ago, though, things at work have gotten pretty busy. I am wrapping up a busy trip to Texas, though, and the Sweet 16 is tipping off in a matter of minutes, so I felt motivated to write a blog about the tourney. (more…)
nfl midseason analysis
As the midpoint in the NFL season approaches, there are just about as many oddities as there have been in college. There are overperforming teams, underperforming teams, and an astonishing number of major injuries. There is a lot of football left to be played, but it’s about time for the contenders and pretenders to begin separating themselves. With that in mind, I’m going to go around the league and highlight some things to watch in the second half. (more…)
college football analysis
Has there been a stranger football season in recent memory, both in college and in the pros? The college season has been even more wild than it usually is, and then there’s the completely unpredictable NFL, where Saint Louis can be destroyed by Detroit one week and beat San Diego the next.
Tonight, I’m going to give my thoughts on the contenders in college football, and tomorrow, I’ll attempt to tackle the NFL picture (pun intended). (more…)
random rants
Try saying that ten times fast!
Today, I decided I had a few things to write about, but none of them were long enough to stand on their own as a legitimate blog post.

ncaa update: east and west
This year’s NCAA tournament has been one of the most memorable in recent years. The first two rounds have been littered with close games and upsets at a level that I cannot recall. Unfortunately, it’s also wreaked havoc on my bracket and many others, but in all honesty, I don’t mind that much.
The tournament will resume on Thursday, with the teams in the East and West regions going at it for spots in the Elite Eight. With that in mind, I’m going to take a look at what transpired in the first two rounds and take a look ahead to this weekend’s games. Tomorrow, I will take a look at the Midwest and the South.
