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
The NBA draft was lat night. Three Kentucky players went in the lottery. Coach Calipari was at the draft and posted pictures with the kids who were drafted. Many of the comments on those pictures are UK fans yelling at him for being more concerned with getting players to the NBA than winning championships. They … More Post NBA Draft Thoughts on Coaching
At the end of the college basketball season Georgetown fired their coach. This was a big deal because their coach was the son of legendary Georgetown coach John Thompson. Before he was fired, several articles were written in the Post about the possibility that he would be fired. Many thought he would get more time … More We Are Family: College Basketball Edition
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.

I opened the Washington Post this morning to find that John Feinstein has chosen to write another article bashing John Calipari. Apparently, Calipari is the”everything wrong with college basketball” because he uses a rule that other people enacted better than everyone else in the game. Apparently, it is wrong for Coach Calipari to recruit the … More Calipari Envy
I have to admit that I was wrong about this Kentucky basketball team. I still hate the one and done rule and stand by everything I’ve said about it. It is bad for college basketball. I will admit, though that I was wrong about this group of one and doners. I didn’t think they had … More This Crow is Mighty Tasty
I decided to would write out my thoughts on two stories in college basketball. The idea of paying players and the Masiello situation. First, Masiello: I am not one of those UK people who have decided they hate Steve Masiello for whatever reason. I never met Masiello, but I know people have the same dislike … More Paying Players and Graduating Coaches
