I've dropped 4 so far (Butler, Clemson, Temple, West Virginia) but didn't have any of them in the Sweet 16.

I was somewhat surprised to get Missouri-Cornell as the late afternoon game here. Yeah, I know Cornell is closer geographically than either Pitt or West Virginia, but this is Big East country, dammit.

Well, I just said goodbye to one Sweet 16 team. Thanks for playing, West Virginia.

I need Zona and BC to win.

I had WVU all wrong. I really thought they could do some damage. By that I meant go deep into the dance not fuck my brackets over!!!

Not to toss you under the bus or anything Wags but he has gotten 25 of 28 correct. He's in the T1B pick 'em. He's tied for the lead and can still get as many points as anyone else.

I'm actually enjoying the basketball games and could care less about the brackets.

Of course, I actually like "sports" for the sport... not the bet.

That's where you're wrong.

You have just as much "viable" worth as the twinkle in some "potential" baby daddies eye.

Fucking 'a right, I'll sleep good tonight.

Following LSU's MONSTER win yesterday, I spent the rest of the day getting absolutely shithammered on diet coke and Makers Mark slushes. Then, my neighbor and I rolled up on the humane society and blew through four or five air horns right outside the dog pen.

By the time we got done, those stupid fucking dogs were in such a frenzy, we couldn't fucking walk we were laughing so hard. Of course, that could have been the Makers Mark, but I fucking digress.

We felt bad for the neighborhood folk trying to sleep with all the howling dogs, so we threw a few cans of gasoline on the building and lit the bastard on fire. After it burned down, I jumped in and danced on some St. Bernard ashes, too.

So, fuck you Wags. And fuck those dogs, too.

Seriously. Fuck those dogs.

Nova/UCLA should be an interesting game.


Actually, I see Nova winning this game easily.
Good. You had no business winning last night, anyway.

How do you figure? Ucla led almost the entire game, fought through homer refs, travelled the 3000 miles, played like crap....VCU can't pull it out with those odds, they don't deserve shit.

Right, homer refs. Spare me. Remind me who the glamour team in this game was. It surely wasn't VCU.

I invite you to watch the early game against Villanova in Philly...for some "objective" officiating....k?

Did the same crew work the late game? Why, per say, would they favor VCU over UCLA? Last time I checked, while not as far away as Westwood, Richmond isn't exactly down the road from Philly. Take your time.

I don't typically post here because I don't follow college basketball that much, but attending the regionals here in Boise has been a lot of fun...Marquette plays a stifling defense and their physical superiority and athleticism to that of Utah State became evident pretty quickly...Missouri was pretty much what you'd expect, a team filled with a lot of great athletes....I think the Marquette defense is going to give Missouri a lot of trouble.....

and the Wisconsin/Florida State game was fucking incredible..the crowd was solidly behind the underdog and you could actually see the Badgers feeding off that support

I'm looking forward to Sundays games
get out, get out while there's still time
