Who am I, and what am I doing here?

I’m Tim, a men’s basketball beat writer for The Chronicle and college basketball fanatic. I’ve covered Duke basketball for the last two seasons, the perks including trips to various ACC arenas and Spring Break ‘07 in Buffalo! I’ve been watching college basketball pretty extensively my whole life, and I can remember most teams that have made the NCAA Tournament since 1997. I can name all 31 major conferences, over 300 of the 341 Division 1-A teams, and I regularly project the NCAA Tournament bracket for my own amusement.

I’m a junior English major (a.k.a. I’ve got PLENTY of time on my hands) from New Jersey still euphoric over the Giants’ Super Bowl victory and the Mets’ acquisition of Johan Santana.

Any questions? Don’t hesitate to comment or send me an e-mail at timbeyondthearc@gmail.com.

 P.S. If you get the extremely vague Simpsons reference at the top of the page, we can be friends right away.
