Title: Who's in your Final Four?
Post by: Ogre on March 20, 2008, 10:50:52 AM

North Carolina
Texas
Kansas
UCLA

3 #1's and a #2...I hate doing that but I think those teams are the best teams in the nation.

Anyone got the SEC winning more than 1 game? I don't...I think they all get beat the first day except for UT who will only play twice.

I am one and the same with War Eagle!!!   and 70% of the nation.  It's just hard to pick against that talent.

I've got 4 SEC teams going to the second round- Vandy, Miss. St., Kentucky, and Tennessee.  This makes me nervous.

UNC
Georgetown
Texas
UCLA

I really like Kansas, but after last season, where I picked them to win it all, I swore them off.  They, much like Cincinnati, I will never ever pick to make it out of the Sweet 16 ever again.  I've been burned way to many times by them.

I did the exact same thing last year...unfortunately I do not learn as easily as you and have them winning it all again this year. I really think they are the best team in the country. I think if Kansas played anyone in some sort of a series...kansas would win every time. However, all it takes is one bad game and you are ousted. I still like them and think they are the most taented. They have great athletes and some good big men. The only team that I think can compete with the athletes they have on the floor is UNC...and I don't think they come close...

I will live vicariously through you...I wanted to put Stanford and Louisville in the final four....but had jump on the bandwagon this year.  Good luck

Which way do you fucktards keep up with the games from work?  It looks like Yahoo 

http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaab/scoreboard?changed_via_selector=1&d=2008-03-20&refresh=60&c=ncaa (http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaab/scoreboard?changed_via_selector=1&d=2008-03-20&refresh=60&c=ncaa)

is one way, but I'm not sure if there's another way that streams better.  It seems that they are all pretty much the same.

I'd love to be able to stream a live video feed but then I wouldn't get jack shit done at work.  I have to keep this minimal output going, you know?

I just keep a window running from the www.ncaasports.com site scoreboard.  It refreshes automatically every 30 seconds or so.

I signed up a few days ago to the NCAA Sports March Madness On Demand deal through CBS Sportsline.  I'm signed up early enough to get VIP status, and I got in line this morning around 9:00 at #11,951.  I have to keep it open or I lose my space in line.  Currently, the VIP line is at 81,106, and the General Admission line is at 134,192.

VIP status?  Must come with favors from the cheerleaders.

I'm assuming that includes streaming live videos of the games.  Send me the IP address of your computer immediately.

You're right.  I'm waiting on the Xavier-Georgia to begin, but I'm able to swap live feeds from that game to any other one that's being played.  It's boner-riffic.

This sucks.  You get to see all the damn SAP advertisements on the sportsline while I work with the shitty software all day.
I hate you.

Interesting to see someone else with Clemson picked for the Final Four too.  They are formidable...I was really worried with them playing in the ACC Championship game.
