Food for Thoughtology: Not so Sweet 16

Miss Pavla — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 16:33:48 +0000

March 25th, 2010 – Where to start? Well, we can start with the #1 overall seed Kansas blowing the brains out of everyone’s brackets, yours truly included! I should have known better than to put that much hope into any #1 seed this season considering how weak the pool of #1s were. So much parody [...] Related posts:

Va Tech, Terps Basketball Will Struggle

SeigleSeigle — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 17:27:53 +0000

SeigleSeigle's season preview said beware the Terps and shield your eyes from the Hokies. After a month, it looks like the Terps are going to struggle to find ways to get the ball out of Vasquez's hands and the Hokies are in for a rough one this year. Related posts:

College Basketball: The beginning of something special

SeigleSeigle — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 18:14:30 +0000

The second week of October is a big week for college basketball teams. It is the time they “begin” practicing for the upcoming season. As a new contributor to FFT, I am beginning my practice as a college basketball blogger, something I began with FFT a few years ago as a guest writer for March [...] Related posts:

SuperSize Me: Fat in America

Miss Pavla — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 02:10:20 +0000

It’s not that I didn’t know…but America never ceases to amaze me. Being born and raised in the Czech Republic, and spending only part of my childhood in America, I got used to hearing Europeans bash Americans for being stupid and fat. It’s one thing to see and hear about it as a kid, and another to actually [...] Related posts:

In a comment on this site, I made a bold statement. I said, “does anyone even like baseball anymore? I’d like to see lacrosse become bigger than it is now, and baseball take a hike”. Well, needless to say, some people had a problem with this comment, so here’s my support for my POV… Lacrosse [...] Related posts:

Jocking My Alma Mater; Pitt Basketball

Juice — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 18:33:18 +0000

After a convincing 16-point victory at Georgetown this past weekend, the University of Pittsburgh men's basketball team vaulted from third to first in the rankings. The Panthers won by playing typical Big East ball-- a strong defense and establishing a physical presence on the boards. After watching Pitt's football team play probably the most boring bowl game in college football history, it was an absolute pleasure to see our roundballers perform at such a high level. Now, let me give you a little inside perspective on the world of Pitt hoops. As every other author on at food for thought consistently does, it's my turn to jock my alma mater. Related posts:
