Let’s All Make Fun of Tom’s Brackets (2025 Edition)

Posted on March 20, 2025 by Tom Garrett

I don’t even know who I am anymore. Today, on the first day of March Madness, I voluntarily scheduled three different meetings for this afternoon.  Three.  And I never even thought twice about it. The high school student who shared … Continue reading →

Let’s All Make Fun of Tom’s Brackets (2024 Edition)

Posted on March 22, 2024 by Tom Garrett

After a brief moment of glory derived from my championship-winning 2021 bracket, I returned to (poor) form in 2022.  In fact, my 2022 bracket was evidently bad enough that I decided not even to post my 2023 bracket. That 2022 … Continue reading →

Let’s All Make Fun of Tom’s Brackets (2022 Edition)

Posted on March 17, 2022 by Tom Garrett

A funny thing happened during last year’s NCAA Tournament. Breaking from my long-established record of futility, as prominently displayed in 2011, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019, I somehow bounced back from the one-year COVID tournament layoff to . . … Continue reading →

NCAA Football, long a staple of the EA Sports gaming line-up, will cease to exist after the current version—a least under that name. The NCAA announced yesterday that it would not renew its long-standing…

Let’s All Make Fun of Tom’s Brackets (2021 Edition)

Posted on March 19, 2021 by Tom Garrett

Although my March Madness expertise remains as low as it was in 2011, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019, I am at least reinvigorated following the absence of a tournament last year.  It won’t be quite the same as it … Continue reading →

Let’s All Make Fun of Tom’s Brackets (2019 Edition)

Posted on March 21, 2019 by Tom Garrett

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 →

Let’s All Make Fun of Tom’s Brackets (2018 Edition)

Posted on March 15, 2018 by Tom Garrett

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)

Posted on March 15, 2017 by Tom Garrett

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)

Posted on March 17, 2016 by Tom Garrett

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 →

NCAA Football without the “NCAA”

Posted on July 18, 2013 by Tom Garrett

NCAA Football, long a staple of the EA Sports gaming line-up, will cease to exist after the current version—a least under that name. The NCAA announced yesterday that it would not renew its long-standing licensing deal with Electronic Arts.  An agreement … Continue reading →
