There’s a New Sheriff in Town
Sunday, June 18th, 2006Dwayne Wade. He not only hit the shot that took Game 5 of the NBA Finals to overtime, but he also ices the victory with 2 foul shots with 1 second left. This guy is out-of-this world amazing. I remember watching him in the NCAA tournament when he was with Marquette. He was fun to [...]
This time it’s really over
Sunday, April 2nd, 2006Even though the NCAA Tournament has one more game to determine the National Champion, the First Annual Vigilante Sports NCAA Bracket Challenge crowned it’s champion last night when Florida defeated, the Cinderella, George Mason. I’m happy to report that the winner was… me. I know that I previously posted that my brackets were busted, but [...]
My first NBA experience: Magic v. Bulls
Wednesday, March 29th, 2006I was fortunate enough to be able to attend my first professional basketball game this evening. It was a game between the Orlando Magic and the Chicago Bulls at the United Center in Chicago. A couple of things about the atmosphere before I get to the game. First of all the halftime entertainment by “Kenya [...]
George Mason is Getting it Done
Monday, March 27th, 2006With UConn losing, the door to my brackets has re-opened. If Florida beats George Mason I will be victorious in the First Annual Vigilante Sports NCAA Bracket Challenge. At first glance I like my chances. However, I like Michigan State’s chances (as much as that kills me to say), I liked North Carolina’s chances. I [...]
It’s Over, It’s All Over
Friday, March 24th, 2006I had Duke. I’m done. My bracket is officially busted. As of tonight I have one of my Final Four teams left (Florida). So I will just have to try and enjoy the rest of the games.
I’m starting to sense a theme in the results of the First Annual Vigilante Sports NCAA Bracket Challenge. [...]
NCAA Tournament Recap: The first weekend
Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006So it turns out there were upsets. And damn it if one of them didn’t knock one of my Final Four teams out (UNC). Of course Bradley, George Mason, and Wichtita State are great stories. They are teams that probably shouldn’t have gotten out of the first round and here they are in the Sweet [...]
A Break from your regularly scheduled program
Tuesday, March 21st, 2006I know, I’ve been lax on posting about the NCAA tournament. And I will continue on that hiatus. I have to take a moment to post about the NIT. Now I know that they weren’t playing a team with any basketball tradition at all, but it was good to see the Maize and Blue pull [...]
NCAA Tournament Recap: Round 1 – Day 1
Thursday, March 16th, 2006Day One of the 2006 NCAA Men’s Basketball tournament has come to a close. A great start to what promises to be a very interesting tournament. There were upsets, and there was overtime. They say that every year, at least one 12 seed will beat a 5 seed (in the last 20 years there have [...]
