The General Calls it Quits

Mike Imrem (Daily Herald) has an article about the departure of Bobby Knight from Texas Tech. You can read it for yourself, but it pretty much encompasses every negative aspect of Knight and goes a step further to include his friendship with Bill Belichick.

I don’t think its necessary to re-hash all the negatives and […]

Division 3 Miracle

Unbelievable play…its a sure bet the refs were watching for any forward laterals so that the “Music City Miracle” debacle didn’t rear its ugly head..

Frozen Four Preview

While there may be less teams and a road much shorter, the NCAA Hockey Frozen Four is a pretty exciting event full of big hits, speed, and exceptional play. Watch the players in college today and see them in the NHL tomorrow.
This year’s field is no exception to a long history of good teams […]

Fighting Sioux on to St. Louis

While on vacation, and with limited Internet access, I was able to find out the score of the highly acclaimed rematch between North Dakota and Minnesota in the NCAA Hockey Tournament West Regional. Unable to view any highlights, I was left with just a score. 3 to 2 in overtime. At first, I thought Minnesota […]

Sioux on to Frozen Four

Ahhh, revenge is sweet. Unfortunately, being in the Caribbean sea and unable to watch the game, I had to rely on the Internet to see what happened. As it turns out, it was just a reversal from last weekend. Sioux win 3-2 in OT and yet another matchup against Boston College.
Maybe Clay Matvick was […]

Michigan vs. ND

No, not ND as in Notre Dame, but ND meaning North Dakota. Once again, these two teams meet each other in the first round of the NCAA Hockey Tournament hoping for a spot in the Frozen Four. In last year’s matchup, things were a bit different in North Dakota’s 5-1 win. First, the game was […]

Simply a Great Game

In a recent post, I picked the outcome of the WCHA Frozen Five tournament in St. Paul, MN this past weekend. While I was close, I was still one game off..the championship game. You have to believe that things are lining up in the WCHA as they should when the championship game involves North Dakota […]

Things Just Roll Along As Planned

Alright, so I was a bit wrong about the #4 and #13 and #5 and #12 seeds being the usual upsets in the tourney. It seems as if things went as planned and all who should have won in those seeds did so.
With that, there were a few surprises in the first round. Let’s […]

A Reason to Be Cautious

If you’re like me, there’s not a TV around tomorrow to watch the opening games of the NCAA tournament. As recent as a few years ago, you were left with checking websites to see the update score of a game. Then came the “refresh” option that allowed you to keep current with every minute of […]

The Big Dance Is Upon Us

For a sports fan, this is one of the best weekends of the year. This Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday prove to be the most exciting, yet nerve-wracking time for athletes, fans, and those who place wagers on each game. Just like the old format used by the Indiana high school basketball tournament, anyone can […]
