Let’s All Make Fun of Tom’s Brackets (2018 Edition)
It’s no secret that my grasp of March Madness slipped dramatically as I moved deeper and deeper into my 30s. Even a quick glance at my 2011, 2013, 2016, or 2017 brackets reveals my descent into abject ignorance. But hope … Continue reading

Let’s All Make Fun of Tom’s Brackets (2017 Edition)
I don’t know anything about college basketball. But I accept that fact now. The turning point was hearing that Cal State Bakersfield finished in first place in the WAC this year. Cal State Bakersfield?!? The WAC?!? A hurried online search … Continue reading

Let’s All Make Fun of Tom’s Brackets (2016 Edition)
I don’t even watch college basketball at this point. The closest I’ll get is taking in the competitive portion of a Richmond / VCU game. Beyond checking a Spider box score now and then, or watching some amazing buzzer-beater that … Continue reading

Let’s All Make Fun of Tom’s Brackets (2013 Edition)
Part of the aging process (I won’t go as far as to say “maturing”) for me has been letting some of my sports fandom fall by the wayside. I’m down to about two sports now: MLB and the NFL. However, … Continue reading

Richmond’s First Sweet Sixteen
Those who follow University of Richmond basketball* will recall this memorable year for a number of reasons. Well, two, primarily. The team had perhaps the best season in school history, and certainly one of the three best, finishing 29-8 with … Continue reading
VCU in the Final Four? Give Tom a Call(?).
I’m not sure which is more remarkable: VCU making an improbable run to the Final Four, or someone reputable actually wanting my opinion on same. Self-deprecation aside, I was lucky enough to be a guest on Spartan Nation Radio up … Continue reading

NBA Scouts: “White College Basketball Star’s Whiteness Looks Pretty White From Here!”
I happened to peruse a New York Times article about Jimmer Fredette’s prospects as a professional basketball player this week. I don’t normally read much sports coverage from the NYT, so twice in one week is noteworthy. In this case, the … Continue reading

As the University of Richmond and Virginia Commonwealth University triumphantly earned their way into the Sweet Sixteen, the fact that both schools are located in the same city has not escaped the watchful eye of the New York Times. To … Continue reading
And . . . We’re Back (Part 2)

Let’s All Make Fun of Tom’s Brackets (2019 Edition)
Having not watched a single complete college basketball game in all of 2019, I am hopelessly lost when it comes to March Madness. Looking at my brackets from 2011, 2013, 2016, or 2017, one can see a clear and convincing … Continue reading →
