As you’ve probably heard by now, Andrew Wiggins is a Kansas Jayhawk. On Tuesday, the No. 1 basketball player in the country, who some say is the best high school hoopster since LeBron James, elected to become a Jayhawk, choosing the school over offers from Kentucky, Florida State, North Carolina, Nike and Reebok.
Ok, so I’m obviously...

Design by Humans changing the t-shirt game
As you’ve probably noticed by now, Aaron Torres Sports is in fact a sports website, however if there’s one thing you need to know about Aaron Torres personally, it’s that I like educating myself about stuff outside of realm of bats and balls as well.
Part of it is of course that whole “knowledge is power” thing, but the other is that I am genuinely interested in meeting...

Here is their take on golf equipment and clothing, and its importance to your success on the course.

Q&A: Venus Williams talks fitness, traveling and... her hair?
Now that we’re officially into the off-season of the two sports which are most near and dear to my heart (college football and college basketball specifically), it has allowed me to not only breathe a sigh of relief, but also to get out into the fresh air and enjoy a little bit of life outside the bomb shelter I call an apartment.
Good times! Well, unless you’re the guy...

(Enter Aaron's giveaway with Captain Morgan, to win great prizes including an iPad mini and more!!)
Alright, so let me start by saying this: I’m not a college basketball recruiting expert, nor do I play on one on TV.

Can You Have Too Much Cricket?

(While this website is called "Aaron Torres Sports," I'll be the first to admit while I'm a pretty knowledgeable guy overall, there are some sports that frankly, I don't know much about. Cricket is one of them, and to be blunt, I know as much about that game as I do 18th century French art. Which is to say I know nothing about...

Enjoy, and when you get a moment, hop over to their site, and definitely...
Movie Review: On Jackie Robinson, '42' and why it's a movie you need to check out
If there’s one random thing you probably don’t know about me (or care to know, honestly) it’s that I don’t generally enjoy sports movies very much. Maybe “don’t generally enjoy” is a bit of strong statement, but at the same time, you’ve got to understand that for me, sports is my life. It’s what I do and who I am. And because of it, it means I’m quite picky in...

Regardless, it’s because of our mutual love of sports and alcohol (not necessarily in that order), that...

(Photo Courtesy: USA Today Sports)
Don’t worry, this isn’t intended to be a super-long post on Louisville’s title game victory over Michigan on Monday night. With nearly 24 hours since the confetti fell and 23 hours and 59 minutes since Rick Pitino nearly had a heart attack on the way to shake John Beilein’s hand, I understand you’re probably tired of coverage of this...

So here we are.
We’ve now spent the last six months watching, waiting and anticipating about how this college basketball season would play out... only to basically end up right back where we began in October.
