Whaddup?! I Got a Big Mock
Well not THAT big actually, it’s about average size (we don’t like to brag). What we do have though is of the very highest quality, as is Box Scorn’s custom (right? something like that). With as many possibilities tonight as there are mildly disgusting variations of CiCi’s pizza, the draft is almost impossible to predict [...]
Just a Little Mock
I usually do this every year; try to predict the inexact science that is the NFL draft, just like every other Mel Kiper, and Todd McShay wannabe. It is a fun experiment to try and predict the needs of each team. Here goes nothing. 1. Kansas City Chiefs- Luke Joeckel- OT- Texas A&M 2. Jacksonville [...]
NBA Power Rankings: Fin.
It’s been a long season, hasn’t it? There’ve been the highs (Miami’s 27-game winning streak) and lows (Kobe Bryant’s Achilles tear), and through it all, we’ve got the playoffs just a few days away. You’ve likely followed the trials and tribulations of the Box Scorn Power Rankings, but with the final countdown striking zero, we [...]
Michigan, Michigan State and the allure of the NBA Draft
The next two weeks are big ones for college basketball’s best underclassman. More so, specifically, six players from Michigan’s two big schools — the Wolverines’ quartet of Trey Burke, Tim Hardaway Jr., Glenn Robinson III and Mitch McGary, and the Spartans’ duo of Gary Harris and Adreian Payne. If you’re a good player, college basketball [...]
NBA Power Rankings: Playoffs Loom
Brace yourselves…The Playoffs are coming. Another team is streaking and the fight for the 8th spot in the West is in Full Swing. Here we go. 1. Miami Heat — no change — 61-16 The post-streak hype has subsided quite a bit. The Heat are now systematically resting their players in preparation for the playoffs. Dwayne Wade [...]
An adequate ranking of college basketball’s best coaches
It’s March, it’s Madness, and it’s a cliche like no other. March is the time when coaches step up, when your girlfriend puts together a flawless bracket and when gambling at work is kind of acceptable. It’s a time where you see all of the sport’s great coaches, on display, together. Some crumble and some [...]
The Box Scorn GIGANTIC MLB Preview: 2013 Edition
It is almost here. Can you smell the fresh cut grass? Can you hear the crack of the bat? While Spring Training is winding down, that means Opening Day is right around the corner. It’s the day when every team has a chance, when expectations are high and when October is seemingly an eternity away. [...]
NBA Power Rankings: Playoff Picture Becoming Clear
Welp, you can all go home, pack up your bags, book your off-season vacation. Just kidding, but actually the Heat look unstoppable. Who could beat this team over a seven game series? I would watch the East All Star team minus the Heat players take on this team. That would be competitive. Anyone else? Seems doubtful [...]
Forget it; Round Two Now
It’s the 2nd round of the tournament, and I hope you’re ready for some upsets. The first round was definitely filled with excitement, and I think we all learned at least one thing, rankings do not matter. With a total of 10 upsets in the first round, everyone was on their seats. Now, it’s time [...]
