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…

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 →

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”

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 →

And . . . We’re Back (Part 2)

Let’s All Make Fun of Tom’s Brackets

Posted on March 16, 2011 by Tom Garrett

Don’t worry.  Baseball preview season is almost over, which means that we’ll be back to normal soon enough (and, hopefully, I will be able to go to bed before 4:00 AM every night-slash-morning).   In the meantime, enjoy this look … Continue reading →
