At What Point In Time Do You Get Into College Basketball?

Come late February and early March I will divest massive amounts of attention towards college hoop. I will watch a ton of conference tournaments. I will fill out bracket after bracket after bracket. I will break down data about each team. I will go full fledged into College Basketball. But until then, I'm lukewarm at best.

Maybe I'm just getting older and as the college years disappear even further into the rear view mirror I seem to care less and less about college hoops opening months. Last night there were two fantastic matchups on ESPN. Louisville throttled Notre Dame after they got them into overtime in a top 20 showdown. This was followed by #5 Oklahoma giving a Red River Beat Down to the #11 Texas Longhorns. These are games I almost certainly would not have missed in college, at the very least they would have been on in the background, and yet now I don't know how much I care. College Basketball has become almost more of a filler for me than must-see-tv in these months, thus last night instead of watching two top 20 showdowns Jack Bauer won the competition for my tv.

Anybody feel differently? / Have any idea to get me to care about January college bball again?

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
