Why Do I Like Curling?

February 23, 2010
By

Yes, seriously, I do like the sport of curling. I’m not just one of those people who like the sport because of one team’s creative choice of attire, either. No, thanks to a handful of reasons, curling has been one of my favorite sports to watch during these Olympic Games. Why, you may ask?...

Hello, Quatchi and Friends!

February 13, 2010

Yesterday, the Winter Olympics officially opened, but not without some difficulties. One was obviously the death of Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili, which prompted the Olympic officials to move the men’s luge starting point to the women’s in hopes of slowing down speeds. The second was one of the four pillars that were to help...

Peyton, Or Payton?

February 6, 2010
By

After last weekend’s much needed break from the norm, I’m back to predict another football game. Honestly, I have no idea why they would be playing such an important game in a place like Miami. Why not have it in the nation’s capital or something? I hear they’re having pretty good weather up there…....

National Signing Day

February 3, 2010
By

Today is an exciting day for many high school seniors across the country; National Signing Day. I’ve always been puzzled as to why ESPNU devotes an entire day’s worth of TV time to covering this event. Not only do I find it extremely boring (honestly, how interesting is it to watch a high schooler...

A Little Break From The Usual

January 30, 2010
By

I think this is the first weekend where I will not be making any predictions for football games. That is okay with me, because I didn’t create this blog with the intent of just posting my predictions. Also, since I don’t have any games to cover, I don’t have a set deadline for when...

It’s Been A While

January 23, 2010
By

Lots of big stories in sports this week. Texas basketball loses twice. Carlton Fisk slams Mark McGwire. NASCAR decides to relax their rules. Australian Open. Some of them I’ll get to writing about later on in the upcoming week, but unfortunately I was unable to get to them when they were hot topics. For...

Back In My Day…

January 16, 2010
By

Well, I was going to write about Ohio State upsetting Purdue on Tuesday night, but I think that the game did the talking for itself. Bottom line: when Evan Turner is healthy, he is the best player in the Big 10. Robbie Hummel also deserves a lot of credit for his outstanding first half...

Is That Really The Question?

January 11, 2010
By

If I was told that only one of my four picks for the Wildcard Weekend was going to be correct, I wouldn’t have guessed that my Baltimore over New England pick would be it. All in all, the games this weekend were pretty boring unless you’re a diehard fan of one of the teams...

Wild Card Weekend

January 9, 2010
By

I had meant to post an entry yesterday to review the National Championship game and give a look back at some of my favorite games of the bowl season. However, due to the fact that the NFL Wildcard games start today, I’m going to have to put that on hold. As for the National...

The Big One

January 7, 2010
By

After two and a half weeks of bowl games, we have finally come down to the season finale. It’s a bittersweet day for me; I love the college bowl season, and seeing it come to an end is always a little depressing. I won’t forget to mention last night’s game. It ended up being...
