My brackets are in...I couldn't decide between Kansas and Kentucky, so I hedged my bets...
I'd love to participate, but I'm not sure it'll be as much fun next year. given what Arne Duncan wants to do.
Considering how splendidly he ran Chicago public schools, I'm not sure this idiot has any business opening his pie hole with regard to the NCAA, let alone running the USDOE.
Damn you Georgetown!
Happy to see my University of Northern Iowa Panthers advance.
A bunch of under-recruited overachievers on the team, can't help but cheer them on.
These guys are a hoot, like Lucas O'Rear, a 6-6 kid (the pride of Nashville, Illinois) with porkchop sideburns and a huge shamrock tat. Great 3 point artist with ice water in his veins, Ali Farokhmanesh. Ali led his JuCo team to I think 3rd nationally a couple years ago. And a 7-footer, Jordan Eglseder, who grew from a beanpole freshman to a solid shrek-like 280 lb roadblock.
Good news: beat UNLV. Bad news: Kansas is next.
Thanks Dude, I hadn't heard about that. Arne Duncan rocks:
Wow. These graduation numbers are absolutely pathetic and the NCAA should be embarrassed. After all, how many of these kids actually make it to the NBA? Shouldn't the focus get back to education? If the NCAA won't take the necessary steps to protect it's student athletes, then the DOE should use whatever power it has to force changes or at least support legislation regulating the NCAA.
I love college basketball as much as the next guy, but I'd just assume cancel the whole tournament until the NCAA learns to get it's priorities straight.
There's a lot to be fixed in collegiate sports, to be sure, and it's time that groups like the NCAA, BCS and the conferences get moving.
I suck,,, at least my bracket does. Can't believe how so many of these no name teams are challenging the mighty down to the wire and beating some of them. I guess that's why it's called March Madness. fuhgetaboutit
Yeah, I'm hurting pretty badly, too. I had Georgetown making the Elite Eight in one bracket and the Final Four in another...*sigh*
Holy fricking wow.
Bye, bye, Kansas.
It is a good day to be a UNI Panther alumni. Please excuse me while I run screaming through the neighborhood.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo........
Um.............. Yes!
Great game duff man, luved it.. :)
Out of 4.5 million brackets in ESPN's contest, about 1600 had UNI making the Sweet 16....wow.
Me? I'm pretty much cratered unless Kentucky wins out.
Ah, Skinny has the lead after the first weekend - well done! It looks like you and I won't settle things unless/until Duke and Kentucky meet in the Final Four...
Sorry I didn't get a bracket in. I've been pretty busy at work and didn't have a chance to research any of the matchups.
wow, i'm actually in the running? i never win at basketball pools. I have better lucky playing the Lotto.
however I think i had Kansas and Georgetown in the final four, so i wouldn't stamp my name on the BL Rag bracket trophy just yet.
I would like to take time to thank birdmad_grl for keeping me out of last place, at least for now. :)
Go Duke!
