With five days till Selection Sunday, we’re getting closer and closer to the 16th annual Living Room Times basketball pools — NCAA men’s, NCAA women’s and NIT. And I can’t wait!! This year, the men’s NCAA pool will have a newly compressed entry deadline, thanks to the First Four a.k.a. #quadPIG, which can no longer be ignored, as the #PIG… Read more »
The Space Shuttle Discovery is wrapping up its final mission, and this morning the crew was awakened by none other than William Shatner, putting a new twist on the “Star Trek” opening-theme voiceover: When I heard this on CNN, it gave me goose bumps. I kid you not. (NERD!!!)
I’ve been doing most of my March Madness talk on Twitter, but with less an a week till Selection Sunday, it’s high time for a bubble overview.

Hopefully I’ll be going on another “Excellent Adventure” next week — to Hot Springs, Arkansas and then Greeley, Colorado. If Denver makes the Sun Belt title game, I’ll be in Hot Springs on… Read more »
Just over a month ago now, DU Bally and I set out on an Excellent Adventure, an odyssey of open-road travel and (barely) above-the-Red Line basketball that took us to two separate Mountain West games, involving two Top Ten teams, in two different states, in the space of less than 3 1/2 hours. It was the most awesome hoops-related thing… Read more »
It’s just past midnight Thursday, which means we have 10 days til Selection Sunday, a.k.a. College Basketball Christmas. But, much like with Christmas, the true spirit of Selection Sunday should last throughout the whole Bracketology Season! To wit: Ladies and gentlemen, behold, I have created a Giant BracketTM!! (Patent pending.) Actually, I’ve creataed two Giant BracketsTM, one for the NCAA… Read more »
