I repeat, will the real Frank Martin please stand up? We’re gonna have a problem here…†If you were to type in the name “Frank Martin†[…]

It was one year ago today that I officially launched my first post on Coreybrinn.com, a 2,292 word story about myself, which is still posted on the “About” page on the top left of the website. Several days later I traveled to Manhattan, Kansas to visit friends and see the KSU Wildcats […]

ESPN College GameDay, live from the Octagon of Doom
Posted on 30. Jan, 2010 by Corey.
In 2005, ESPN decided to spin-off of the success that College GameDay was having in college football and create a college basketball version of the show. On January 22, 2005, the show aired on the campus of the University of Connecticut Huskies. Now, in its sixth season on the air, the show has made its […]

Ole Miss vs. Georgia in Athens
Posted on 15. Jan, 2010 by Corey.
Life on the road in conference play for a Division 1 College Basketball team is always tough. They are in a strange town, an unfamiliar arena, and in front of a full house of screaming fans. There is history between the two schools that the players, and sometimes even the coaches, just do not understand. […]

First trip to Phillips Arena
Posted on 07. Jan, 2010 by Corey.
Despite my love for the game of basketball I cannot seem to force myself to enjoy the National Basketball Association (NBA). The style is not what I am use to, with no full court presses, half court traps, or changing defenses by possession to show a 2-3 zone or 1-3-1 point drop zone defense. And […]

Ramblin’ Wreck Reloaded and Ready
Posted on 29. Dec, 2009 by Corey.
What a difference a year can make for a Division One NCAA College Basketball Team. Unlike many aspects of the sporting world, a top recruiting class can be a quick fix for a team in need. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and Head Coach Paul Hewitt brought the fourth best recruiting class in the country […]
