basketball

When it comes to sports, basketball ranks about 4th on my list of favorites behind football, golf, and baseball, but that doesn't stop me from appreciating amazing athleticism when I see it.

It's a proud day for Mater Dei grads like myself as the girls basketball team have won the state title!

I'm not the biggest basketball fan in the world, but I appreciate athleticism and a player's ability to improvise on the fly. Which is exactly what happened during a college basketball game between Hampton College and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore earlier this week.

Tales from the Dad Side is a concept I've had in my mind for awhile now. The basic premise being that from time to time I'll share a story (a "tale" if you will) about something my kids have done, something I've done or learned as a parent, or my random thoughts on parenthood in general. When these thoughts will show up on this site depends on how often they show up in my head. It could

At 6pm Evansville time on Veterans Day, the Spartans of Michigan State University will take on the Tar Heels of North Carolina in a rematch of the 2009 national championship game. The differences being, there's no national title on the line, and neither team will have the benefit of playing in front of a home crowd or inside a home gym for that matter.

This is an incredible story! It gave me goosebumps and made me smile inside and out. 4 minutes left in the game, and the coach lets Jason McElwain , the autistic teen who had been the 'team manager,' go into the game and play. What happens next is beyond impressive and inspiring...

Robert Kasmir, an accounting professor at George Washington University, was honored over the weekend before a GW men's basketball game for financial contributions he had made to the university's athletic department. After the ceremony he took a seat in the front row to watch the game, and ended up getting himself ejected in the second half for heckling the referee. As you can see for the video, Ka
