March 18, 2021

I’m very sleepy today so in honor of March Madness starting today, here are some pictures from my trip to the Final Four in Indianapolis in 2015. Unfortunately, my team lost so my experience was cut short.

March 16, 2021

Its finally here. After a two year wait, we finally have March Madness. My favorite time of the year. It won’t be the same this year without Kentucky, but I’m still very happy about it.

My March Madness Teams I Hate and Love

March 19, 2019

Even though I do a bracket every year, I still have certain rooting interests that override my wanting to be right. I always root for the upset unless the game involves Kentucky or any other teams I love. I have teams I will always cheer for and teams I will always cheer against. Here is … More My March Madness Teams I Hate and Love

March 18, 2019

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! March Madness! I finally got smart and took Thursday afternoon off to watch the games.

March Madness Has Arrived

March 12, 2018

At the end of this post I will give my upset and final four picks. Before that, though, I have some thoughts on some tweaks I would like to see made to the tournament, especially selection of teams.

February 13, 2018

Kentucky basketball is playing Auburn tomorrow night. Auburn is really good this year. Auburn is coached by Bruce Pearl. A little Bruce Pearl background for the non-sports people. Bruce Pearl was the coach at the University of Tennessee. While he was the coach he invited a recruit and his family to a cookout at his … More The Time I Talked to Bruce Pearl

Tater’s Take on March Madness

March 26, 2016

This is the month we get the best event in sports: March Madness. I love the upsets, the buzzer beaters and the thought that any random team can go on a run and win it all. Normally, it is even more fun for me because My Kentucky Wildcats are there until the very end. This … More Tater’s Take on March Madness

Reflections on the Season and the Loss

March 22, 2016

I know some will think it is bad timing to post a basketball blog on the morning of the attacks in Brussels, but this is the first time I’ve had the time to type out my thoughts on the season. So, here goes: Early this season when Kentucky lost to teams like UCLA and Ohio … More Reflections on the Season and the Loss

The Worst Thing About Sports

March 23, 2015

There are many things written about what is wrong with sports. I think the worst thing about sports(except maybe people who write about what’s wrong with sports) is  the fans. Most normal people like me(ha) enjoy watching the games and then go on with our lives. We may scream at the TV and the officials … More The Worst Thing About Sports
