It's football season, which means plenty of weekends full of family visits and stress fill competition involving the Colts and Razorbacks. I personally have no idea what to expect of the Colts this year, as Andrew Luck's ability to win close games borders on breaking the laws of probability. But for today, let's watch Arkansas beat up on Nicholls ( Read more... )

While I'm messing around in Livejournal, I also want to say I enjoyed both the Pacers and the NBA Finals, even allowing that the team I wasn't rooting for in either instance won. Hopefully, people can appreciate well played, dramatic basketball, which is what we got this year ( Read more... )

So I was pretty excited to watch the Pacers beat the Heat. Amy has to endure me becoming emotionally invested in pro basketball it seems ( Read more... )

My lack of faith in the big ten is hurting my bracket..  Oh the irony...

BTW, watching some of the upsets, I've noticed that if you're a lower ranked team looking to be remembered, you're better winning a dramatic close game than actually blowing out the higher ranked school.  Everyone remembers Valparaiso and Bryce Drew's game winning shot, but do ( Read more... )
