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
