I’m in!!!
The Madness starts tomorrow…
Good luck to all!
Gotti
I’M IN BABY!!!
Something about College Basketball makes me say Baby after every sentence. <shrug> But THATS OK BABY!
I did some research, but it all comes down to blind luck. Who knows where the upsets will be? NOBODY BABY!
My friend joined a league and did a coin toss for every game. He ended up with UNC Greensboro taking it all!! 
Rip on Kansas and Winthrop all you want but please Cincinnati? Come on we are cursed by something. Last year the natons #1 player broke his leg days before the tournament, this year we were having troubles out the wazoo. Give is a chance though next year next year (damn I’m already making for excuses when they lose in the Sweet 16).
I picked AZ over Duke. I will be rooting for the UW Badgers, though.
Well, that sucks…
If I hadn’t gone to Illinois, I’d really hate the Big Ten. They’ve already screwed up my bracket. Bastards.
To summarize:
Picked Wisconsin to win. they didn’t.
Picked Ohio State to win. Ditto.
Picked Iowa to lose. They didn’t.
As soon as Indiana loses and Penn State wins, they’ll have killed my bracket completely.
Of course, Michigan State and Illinois have to win at least one game each, right? Hello?

Hampton… Hampton? HAMPTON?!?
You gotta be kidding, right?
Well, at least now my CS-Northridge upset doesn’t look so horrendous! 
I just hate it when one of my final four teams gets knocked out in the first game. Stupid Iowa State. I have a feeling Michigan State is going to get upset in the early rounds too.
What a night! A ton of upsets, and a WHOLE lot of NEAR upsets. Had me squirming on my barstool. We had three channels on three TVs, the only blowouts I saw were Duke, USC, Stanford, and Cinci. And to have two 9s, a 10, 11, 12, 13 and a15 seed advance? Seven upsets in 16 games? I love March!
All I can say is, I hope the majority of the upsets are done, or the El Kabongs (Los Kabongs?) are gonna drop like stones in the rankings…
Faint hope, that.
turns out i should have used the second bracket that i filled out for work…actually got 10 right there, as opposed to 7…
of course, my bracket is screwed up either way.
at least my final four is still alive…
I guess I’m only 3 points off the lead but I thought I would do better.

Hey, I’m an Illinois graduate too! Where did you live? How cool.
Anyway, what’s with all this ncaaa nonsense. My sister is driving me nuts with updates every day. Since I’m not following it, I don’t know what she’s talking about and I keep asking her, ‘So?’ Her answer to “so?” is that she bet $7 on Gonzaga because she likes to say Gonzaga. She insists that I should support her and root for her. Over $7. What a goof!

… so I show up Saturday morning, expecting all kinds of respect, love, envy and admiration at my first-round mastery.
Nada.
Remember that 13 seed that I had in the Elite Eight? They’ve completed Step One. (Kent State)
Their star player, Trevor Huffman, is from up where I live, middle-of-nowhere northwest Lower Michigan. He was the last Division I NCAA player in the nation to be given a scholarship when he signed with Kent.
I bet there are now a few schools wishing they’d paid better attention to us Up-Northians.
Obviously Kent State wasn’t that good…
R.I.P., DynoSaur.

I moved way away from our beloved alma mater when I graduated. Way over to Springfield, IL. At least until I decide to head back for grad school.
Where’d you wind up?
Down with the Jayhawks…
No joke. I could have dealt with PSU’s first-round crap, but them beating North Carolina really screws up my bracket. Goodbye, Final Four team from the South…
If it makes you feel any better, I lost Syracuse. Serves me right for not doing moderate research into my picks.
However, I think we should have been allowed to make championship picks based on the elite eight or something. I’m willing to bet there’s at least one person among us whose winner has already been eliminated.

I guess the Munkees were too Drunk to make any picks. I still like AZ over Duke.
