The Dilemma
Basketball is a business. Yes, I know it sounds like I’m regurgitating a tired basketball cliche but hear me out. At the time of this writing the Boston Celtics are 52-29, 1 game ahead of the Cleveland Cavaliers for the 1 seed; something I absolutely did not see coming.

I vividly remember his upset…

Young Dawgs

In 1995, 2 Dawgs were taken in round 1, RB Napolean Kauffman (Rd 1, 18th overall) and TE Mark Bruener (Rd 1, 27th overall). 2 Dawgs were also taken in round one…

Near Perfection

Then, on Friday, Gonzaga won the N.I.T. Season Tip-off Championship against St. John’s in the most famous arena in the world, Madison Square Garden. Saturday was the Apple Cup which the University of…
