The bottom line is that college basketball has evolved to the point where it invites, perhaps demands, more and more pertinent historical perspective.

History, which is bound to be repeated, really does matter! You need some place to turn to for historical comfort after TSN, SI and Street & Smith's bit the dust.
Much of dig-deep information found here, compared to banal boosterism and vacuous coverage offered by sports-bar herd animals, couldn't have been assembled without securing take-no-prisoners input from a vigorous variety of old-school basketball resources and passionate fans. We offer a hearty thank-you for visiting this politically-incorrect salient site and seeking to enhance your contemporary and historical perspectives of college hoops plus possibly know more about us as a fiercely independent Twain-like voice you can trust. We devoutly study the sport and will be chafed to the point of enemies-list snarky whenever our ideals are threatened by stuck-on-stupid presstitutes never having an intimate relationship with the unvarnished truth. Unflinchingly amid a pathetic PC cultural cleansing right out of Nation magazine's style-book, there will be no unmasking mercy on any facts-allergic or cowardly echo-chamber wastes of perfectly good oxygen we believe are violating the game's integrity. Some inquisitive and acerbic individual needs to religiously and without apology exhibit intestinal fortitude expressing utter contempt for chronically-clueless gasbags ritualistically dwelling on what they "feel" you want to read and hear rather than distributing facts you need to "know."
If beer-goggle donning reign-of-error press pestilence are persistent annoyance, click here if you want to follow our incisive information and combative truth on Twitter. We reject the simplistic church of group-think hierarchy among preening pedestrian pundits embracing sacred-cow conformity comparable to many of embellishing follow-the-pack national and lazy local media lemmings predictably trivializing verifiable truth and contrary creativity. To those misguided media minions sweating like Prince Andrew who never really grasped deep diving with their craft, there's a huge difference between covering a school and covering up for school. Unabashedly, we aspire to be an irreverent and visionary three-dimensional "player" - respecting life lessons from the past, portraying present with pithy and prickly posturing plus keeping keen eye for future "teaching moments."
Knowledge is power and sunlight is the best disinfectant! Make learning about college basketball great again and steer clear of reprehensible reporters resembling condescending fools such as loathsome FBI philanderers Peter Strzok and Lisa "Paramour" Page, the Deep State's Boris and Natasha, disparaging "smelly" Walmart customers (a/k/a normal patriotic Americans). Nowhere else will you get this type of hoops "intel." If necessary in combating intellect inequality and smug media "feeling" it is above reproach as diverse newspaper and magazine writers-turned-whores on TV assessing wincing "Weissmann" Report, let wispy words be your weapons warehouse. You have the right to defend and offend much like #TheDonald dealing with chihuahua "animals" yapping at his heels and Melania's stilettos plus petty prattle of self-absorbed disgraced diary dork/former FBI director James "Inspector Clouseau" Comey. Biased viewpoint: Utilizing FISA Fraud Comey's selective memory and pious phrasing resembling majority of self-absorbed NCAA Division I head coaches unwilling to accept invitation to Trump White House, it is possible but unlikely the robust research contained herein won't enlighten you.
