How much bracket madness can we expect?

March 17, 2024 College Sports Column Tim's Two Cents

Do you want March Madness storylines?

You know you do.

Championship Week is the prelude to Madness, but it has plenty of Madness itself.

Let’s start with the near misses.

Brown University was a couple of missed free…

Two Guys Gone Mad: Championship Week Edition

March 15, 2024 College Sports

Tim Clark and Eric “O’Shaughnesy” Notestine are back to take a look at how conference tournaments could have an effect on the bubble teams. Which teams do the boys think are in, and which are out. Do new coaches have too much early pressure to win big…

March memories

March 10, 2024 College Sports Column Tim's Two Cents

I have loved March Madness dating back to the days of a 32 team field.

As a fanatic, some of my memories are good and some are bad. Then there are the memories that have nothing to do with my fanaticism and everything to do with how great this…

At war with bracketologists?

March 3, 2024 College Sports Column Tim's Two Cents

Double double toil and trouble fire burn and cauldron bubble.

Man, Billy Shakespeare sure did have a way with words. I hear he had a pretty good mid range jump shot, too.

It is March. Championship week is less than a week away, and a…

A pretty, pretty, pretty good Super Bowl LVIII we hope

February 4, 2024 College Sports Column Tim's Two Cents Football

I’m not sure what has me more upset, having the Super Bowl in the middle of February or this being the last season of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Both things have me a bit apoplectic.

However, it got me thinking. What a fun way to…

One month to Madness

January 28, 2024 Football College Sports Column Tim's Two Cents

I need a do over.

My preseason Final Four picks range anywhere from eh to hell no.

My championship pick was Arkansas, who is currently looking like a team that could pack it in for the remainder of the season. The Razorbacks are 10-10…

Status quo won’t cut it

January 21, 2024 College Sports Column Tim's Two Cents Pittsburgh Sports Men's Basketball

After walking out on the media a few days earlier, Mike Tomlin stepped to the podium with a smile on his face.

Tomlin acknowledged handling the question about his contract status poorly before announcing to the throng of reporters he would be…

Best to ever do it

January 14, 2024 College Sports Column Tim's Two Cents Football Pittsburgh Sports

Nick Saban decided to hang it up last week.

That means it is time to debate whether he was the best college football coach ever.

I don’t think it is much of a debate.

Saban simply has ridiculously impressive numbers. Check out…

End of an era

January 7, 2024 College Sports Column Tim's Two Cents Football Pittsburgh Sports

Last night was the end of an era. The four team playoff era.

It certainly was far from perfect. Four or five teams dominated the entire era. We got heaping helpings of Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, Ohio State, and recently Michigan. It became…
