The NCAA brackets were revealed last night. In past years, I would have spent the day studying the matchups, reading up on the teams, and making what I thought was an informed decision. Those days are long gone. The brackets were revealed at 6. CBS had the bracket games open later last night. I filled … More Tater’s Picks of Madness 2023
Yesterday the NCAA tournament was on CBS during the day and was moving to TBS, TNT, and Tru TV for the evening night games. CBS had its regular Sunday night programming scheduled to start on time after the games. The problem? The last CBS game was scheduled to start at 5:20 pm and 60 Minutes … More Why Can’t Networks Schedule Sports Properly?
I’ve decided to go ahead and post these now. This means there is a very good chance the TV post will be my only post tomorrow. I always do two brackets for my bracket challenge. One homer bracket where I pick Kentucky to win no matter how unlikely and one where I pick the one … More Tater’s 2022 Picks of Madness
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. I need March Madness to get my mind off waiting to be eligible for the vaccine. I need distraction and … More Tater’s 2021 Picks of Madness
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
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! March Madness! I finally got smart and took Thursday afternoon off to watch the games. Friday is my normal day off, so I have two full days of basketball with no pesky job to get in the way. I do have to work on Saturday, so I … More Tater’s Picks of Madness
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. The play in games should not involve small conference champions. These teams have already had their play … More March Madness Has Arrived
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
This was a tough bracket to pick. I didn’t really want to pick the higher seeds as much as I did, but I didn’t really like the low seeds either. In years when Kentucky is not a one seed, I typically do one homer bracket and one bracket with them not going all the way. … More My Bracket Projections of Madness
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
