I hate love to say it, but I told you so. The early chalk gave us an even more kompelling and krazy weekend. So much madness to kover, but it’s late and really only one thing matters now: Duke is done. Down and out. Dancing no more. Social media is all over it, so I’ll […]

Soooo….the kids are alright? Jon Becker runs one hell of a basketball pool. I remember when Don and I ran the KUBE we used quills and parchment to record peoples pics by hand and then Don would get on to the KUBE KOMPUTER and do Kalkulations: It was thankless work and sometimes it took several […]

When us media types don’t have anything to write about, we make up fake news about President Donald Trump. I’ve never aktually done this, but I heard about it on Fox News so it must be true. Since our chalky tournament is kurrently giving us a slow start to the Madness, seems like as good a […]

“This team is so unprepared. It is so poorly koached.” Those were my exact thoughts after watching the end of the Vanderbilt-Northwestern game. Then… “Oh yeah, haha. Bryce Drew. Valpo.” Suddenly the pool slogan was all making sense to me. Ladies and gentlemen, welkome to another year of “Stupid People Doing Stupid Things” — a.k.a. The […]

I’m trying so hard to not be a prisoner of the moment. To not be that guy — that sports writer. When amazing things happen, it’s all too easy to call them “the greatest this” or “the best that.” A few will hedge by saying “one of the” in front of those monstrous statements, but […]

Chalk got rocked! Three of four #1 seeds lost in the Elite 8, inkluding the hated Jayhawks, the chalkiest of them all. Deuces were wild on the left side of the bracket. ACC completely took over the right side. Big 12? Paging the Big 12! Kongrats to Buddy’s Sooners, but four teams from this year’s […]

Glad to see the Madness is back. Unfortunately, I’m going to continue to write about nothing. Such is the life of a dumb sports writer. When nothing happens, you make nothing into something. Then, when something actually does happen, you ignore it and continue to talk about that nothing — because you made it something […]

They apparently postponed the Sweet 16, so instead of a basketball roundup I give you this…   Seriously, though, wasn’t that way more entertaining to watch than anything on CBS or TBS tonight? I thought March Madness was supposed to start back up by now. Oh, well, guess we have to wait another day. Until […]

In March, there’s a thin line between Madness and Sadness. Monday means the opening weekend Madness is over and the Sadness of your busted bracket sets in. Friday night was Madness. Those same teams gave us a full helping of Sadness on Sunday. These girls know what I’m talking about but have no idea what […]

To kwote a wise, wise man… “WHAT THE **** IS GOING ON?!?!?!?!“ I hope none of you obliterated your TVs in anger and/or drunk yourselves into an early bedtime in depression over mighty Michigan State. That was a mere appetizer to the real Madness. Friday’s final three games — sorry Sparty, but THAT! WAS! MADNESS!!!     Nevermind […]
