Sergio Is Stupid
Sergio Garcia is an ignorant moron. He’s also a whiney, petulant child. His remarks about Tiger Woods were racist and pathetic. If I was Taylor Made or Addidas, his major sponsors, I would terminate [...]
What Makes Augusta Great
There are so many reasons why The Masters is my favorite sporting event. Sure, the golf course is unmatched, but that only tells part of the story.
Taylor’s National Championship Prediction
More than anything I am hoping for a good game tonight. I thought the quality of play on Saturday left a lot to be desired. Sure, both games had dramatic finishes, but neither was [...]
Taylor’s Thursday Predictions: Can Injured Miami Make It To Elite 8?
Miami vs Marquette: The loss of Reggie Johnson is a big one. Literally and figuratively. I love Buzz Williams, and the way Marquette battles, but I’m taking Shane Larkin. I think he’s the most clutch [...]
Triangle Team Predictions For Friday
First off, I hate what happened to Davidson in the final minute yesterday. People will say they choked, and sure, the errant pass out of bounds didn’t help, but credit Marquette. They hit three totally contested 3 pointers during that span. Bob McKillop’s program experienced the best of the tournament five years ago, and now the worst.
Who’s In, Who’s Out (FINAL)
THU 3/14: Boise State’s loss to San Diego State puts them in serious danger of missing the field. As of this moment I have them as my last team in the tournament, but there are plenty of teams that could pass them in the next 48 to 72 hours.
Who’s In, Who’s Out (Wed 3/13)
Every year I try to correctly predict who will make it into the tournament. I will give you my final predictions next Sunday before the selection show. But until then, I will provide a daily update on who I feel would make it at this moment. In the last five years I’ve missed 1, 1, 0, 2, and 1.
Taylor’s Tuesday Tidbits and Top 25
While State has the most talent and Duke has the best resume, North Carolina is the Triangle team that has impressed me the most this season. When they were 0-2 in the ACC, or 3-3, or even 6-5, you wonderted if Roy Williams would make his second appearance in four seasons in the NIT.
Rory Needs Some Wisdom
I am a huge Rory McIlroy fan. I love his talent, his humility, and how approachable he is. I’ll forever be grateful for the time he gave me for an interview in the Augusta National [...]
Taylor’s Tuesday Tidbits And Top 25, What’s The Reason For NC State’s Disappointing 19-8 Record?
I never thought NC State would be a final four contender, and I certainly don’t today. But I did think they would continually be in the top 25, and be a lot better than 8-6 in a conference that is far from being the best.
