Sitting here on my day off watching a little Dan Patrick Show on the 101 (direct TV). Personally my favorite sports talk show. Id make this a golf day but I went to the driving range last night and have that early season blister. Got to love my new driver that has that College Baseball PING sound. So even when I slice like a butcher it sounds good. Dan interviewed Izzo and Butler's coach Brad Stephens today. Ill admit its getting me over my hangover from my beloved Wildcats losing. My Passion Bucket is filling up with excitement for the Final 4. I just wish I could root for Izzo and Butler. Not much going on other wise in the sports world. Much on the Horizon starting this weekend. Obviously the Final 4, then Monday is Opening Day, then you have the Masters, and the NBA and NHL playoffs will carry us in to summertime and the World Cup. So much to be excited for! McDonald's All American game is tonight. Probably ganna see a few future wildcats there. DP is now talking Sandra Bullock marriage so that proves that it would be great to get in to the sports Hot Tube Time Machine and fast forward. But in the movie they go back in time so not sure if it would work...great movie by the way. Looking forward to Clash of the Titans in 3D also. So what have we learned today? That theres alot to be excited about but just no today....Ill recommend starting up your fantasy baseball league to pass the time. Don't forget to follow me on twitter.

Well a few weeks ago I started this blog up again to give all my thoughts on the NCAA tournament. Instead i watched all the games while drinking beer after beer and eating pizza after pizza. Don't worry I ate my fair share of Wings also. Variety, ya know. What I did not do is blog it out so...my attempt failed but ill make up for lost time. So as you may or may not know I'm a Kentucky Wildcat alum. So I find my movie choice tonight "The Departed" ironic. MY Wildcats fell and fell hard. As a fan it was a great season with a terrible ending. But coming off a NIT season, an elite 8 appearance, SEC championship and 3 lotto picks to come, well ill recover. UK is not alone. NCAA favorites like Villanova, Syracuse, Kansas, G-town just to name a few went down. This year we got the best of the tournament, but for some this is the worst. I love the upsets when they happen just like everyone else. But the 2nd weekend suffers. Instead of G-Town v. Tenn we get Tenn v. Ohio (terrible). Instead of Michigan St. v. Kansas we get UNI v. State. I like a Cinderella but one a year will do. I think most people would rather see Kansas v. Syracuse this weekend instead of Michigan St. Butler. As my friend said "maybe the BCS has something right?". That being we would have Kansas v. Kentucky next Monday. The games we have are the games we have so I shall pick them. Michigan St v. Butler...Ill take Butler. Butler has beaten a team with a great back court in K-State, a great defensive team in the CUSE when no one gave them a shot. So the Lucus injury catches up to Izzo and the Cinderella dances on. Then Duke (the most unimpressive number 1 seed ever) will beat WVU. Duke has the shooters and consistency UK didn't, and Huggins is a coach that never can seal the deal. Yes, I'm going with DUKE to win. Terrible reality and not what I want to see either. Ive been wrong so far so hopefully it will continue. Dont forget to follow me on twitter kylefrankbrown.

March=Basketball (and tax refunds!). More specifically college basketball. So for the next month, thats what everyone will talk about. Theres something troubling me in my favorite month of the year...NCAA tournament expansion. Everyone on TV and radio seems to be convinced it will happen, and the number it will rise to is 96 teams! So basically everyone feels there are 30 teams that dont make the tourney that should. I fell like Im taking crazy pills! I went to a basketball school and will always watch and love college basketball. Unless they go to a bowl system. Im not even against expansion, but 96! Talk about job security for coaches. Ive heard arguments of "its only one more week" , "it will help support the other non revenue sports at schools" and "we haven't expanded in 20 years".I fell like dropping the gloves and the NCAA after these reasons. These reason make as much sense as Steve Carell's weather reports in Anchorman. Its just more money in the pocket of coaches, presidents, AD's, TV networks and anyone else involved. The same people who are for expanding the tournament are against a playoff in football because it take the student-athlete away from his classes too long. So what about that now guys? They'll take basketball players away for over a month with neutral site games but heaven forbid an extra 2 games for football players. Dont kid yourself, they will expand it for one reason, Dollar Dollar Bill Y'all. I just have to hope they add some more play-in games or something, anything but 96 teams. UNC would get in this year if the field was 96.
So how about those Tar Heels getting run out of Cameron In-door like a sixteen seed. This beat down got me thinking...how long does a National Title give you? If Roy Williams struggles to make the NCAA's next year will Chapel Hill be worried? Should they be worried...I say yes. I was the last guy on campus agreeing that Tubby Smith should be replaced at UK. But at the end of the day it worked out. Just look at Minnesota. But I have a better example, Billy Donovan at Florida. I think the Gators will make the NCAA's this year. But entering the SEC tourney they aren't a lock. If they lose First round they can make those NIT plans for the 3rd year in a row. Donovan has 3 Final Four's and 2 National Titles. Any fan base and school should be happy with that. Whispers out of Gainsville says next year could be it if Billy dosent get it done this weekend. Its just a reminder that no matter what, a coach is always on the hot seat. Everyone gets a mulligan. But the days of one coach staying 30 years at one place are over. Dont forget to follow me "KyleFrankBrown" on twitter.
Hello and welcome to the inaugural season of the "Apartment Voice". I'm the creator Kyle Brown, aka Brown Bear, aka KB, aka Mr. Big Shot, aka K-bezzie...In case you didn't read the description (like directions to a new video game, who would). I created this blog to mainly talk about what interests me, sports. I will spend the majority of my life watching, listening and following sports. I love the competition, the tribe like following, pageantry, traditions (and so much more) of sport.Id like to give a little info on myself. Kinda like the first day of class. My stats are 24 year-old, 6 foot, 230lbs. I played soccer and baseball growing up. My teams are Cincinnati Bengals, Reds, and Kentucky Wildcats. I went to the great University of Kentucky. I work for a bank currently (but thats always changing) and for lack of a better more accurate category "single". I just wanted to give this little intro as a test run. Hope everyone enjoys!
