CSU Northridge down 1 pt 22-23 to Memphis with 8 1/2 minutes left in the first half. I know my bracket, along with many others, would be FUKKED if Memphis went down. I fully expect them to outlast CSU in the 2nd half and pull away.
-
34-31 Memphis at the half. Hmmmmmm....

This is looking like it is going to come down to the wire...
-
64-61 with 8 1/2 minutes left...CSU LEADING! Oh, Shit....
-
70-64 Memphis with 4 minutes left...ahhhhh.
Although I may be fearful of how far I took the Beale Street Bruisers in the tourney...

I feel your pain.

Memphis up by 10 with a minute left. They better get their shit together before the next round.

I'd expect a little of the same for my pick, UNC, without Ty Law. It's a 2 point game early. Obviously they should whip Radford but there's no doubt they're a different team w/o Law. Williams is doing the right thing resting him for this game because they have no chance if he injures himself worse and doesn't play.

Now they're up by 12 with 10 minutes left in the 1st half. If the 'Heels lose, I will go on a shooting rampage.

I fully expect them to lose very soon...because I picked them to win it all. I'm half way glad I mailed Mark the cash yesterday. That way I don't have to be depressed when I part with it later.

If they loose I'm blaming it on The ONE's bad karma for picking them.
-
UNC won't lose today. They're up by eleventy hundred points with a few seconds to go. LSU represents over Butler. The SEC is for REAL, baby.
Okay, maybe a bit premature.
-
I've already lost one. I'm wondering WTF I was doing picking BYU over A&M. I guess I just went with the higher seed but hell, I watched A&M play several times down the stretch and they looked good.
I suck at teh pix.
-
First big upset will be Mississippi State over Washington.
Anyone else 7-0 at the moment?

I am guilty of the same with Maryland.
And I call myself a sometimes kind of sort of casual Maryland basketball fan...

Right now there are seven people tied at 7 for 7 picks in the Tigers X dealio.....
I picked Miss St, so this could by my first "shit" of the tourney..... Washington is looking good early...

Same here Chop. My heart said SEC, but my head said Washington and soon as I made the pick I knew it was a mistake. I guess I should have changed it before today, but decided that since I don't ever go back and make changes after a pick why the hell not stick with it. Hopefully they come back in the second half.
-
I took MSU too? Go Dawgs!
I had them losing in the 2nd round to Purdue so it should not hurt too bad. Unless of course Washington beats Purdue

We shall see my friend...haha.... Not looking so good at the moment though...

Nope.

<Thrilla raises his hand, but in a discreet, non-cocky way, as to not upset or even draw attention from the bracketology karma gods>

Well...as a wise man once said.... "Shit."
-
Okay, so tonight could steer my bracket in a serious manner... I have Michigan, Minnesota and evidently Villanova is suddenly an "iffy" pick vs. American University.......
-
How about American up 41-31 over Villanova at the half? I sense a lot of assholes puckering...
-
FUCK! I am losing all 4 games right now. None of them are huge losses for my bracket - the worst will be 'Nova, and I only have them going to the Sweet 16.
Still, tonight has been brutal.
-
Let me change course here and jump upon my soap box. As of this minute, I am 9-3. I can live with it because of some pretty even matchups in the 1st round. However...I will go on record as saying...
CLEMSON...has GOT to be the most overrated, overhyped, over...whatever program in the history of college sports. I don't care what sport we're talking about (As long as it's actual sports that men follow, you know, football, basketball, baseball...) Clemson just bends over...spreads it's collective butt cheeks and takes a 12" rod up the ass every time they're hyped to have a good team. In ANYTHING!!!
My GAWD...Auburn under TONY FUCKIN' FRANKLIN beat them...what??? Then...Bama fudge packed that bunch of losers when Climpsum was supposed to be a top 10 team and possible MNC contender. They start strong just about every year in roundball and the media pimps em' like they're Kentucky under Rupp. Then..they fade..as usual..and cost me a point in my bracket.
THAT...my friends...is the real issue.
Tarheel..you follow the ACC. Would you agree that Cleempsun is the most overrated overall program in college sports? Wait, don't answer that. No need. FUCK Clemson. I will NEVER pull for you in any sport as long as I live.
(I reserve the right to change my position at any given time....especially if I've been drinking..like now)

I enjoyed reading your rant analysis of Clemson so much I had to respond, Birdman.
Last season they came very close to beating the Tarheels in Clemson; I recall that game being a serious struggle but in the end they lost with Carolina getting a three point shot within the last 6 seconds (or maybe it was even within a few 10ths of a second) of the end of the game. They looked like a serious contender that year even making it to the final game of the ACC Championship; Carolina beat them by 5 points in what was their third meeting that season; Carolina beat them all three times.
I should point out that the proof of Clemson's 'over-rated-ness' is to look at how many times they've won the ACC Championship Tournament...never that I know of.

Don't mind the Wench and I. We're just down here having pillow talk.
FUCK THE NCAA TOURNAMENT. How can one person consistently be so shitty at picking teams?
On the bright side, even though I lost 6 games yesterday, I still have all of my Sweet 16 teams in it going in to Day 2.
Fuck, I just jinxed myself.

Well, today could be ugly for me, as I have that upset you've named...along with Temple over Arizona St., Siena over Ohio State, and Tennessee over Oklahoma St. I am very skeered.

I have Siena as well. :clap:

I have Siena and UT as well, but my big upset that I picked....since one usually happens, is Dayton over WVU. I am very skeered as well.
-

That's looking like a good pick so far. As I type Dayton has a 5 point lead with 39 seconds to go in the 1st half.
How about Pitt with only a 3 point lead over ETSU at the half? I'm sure they'll blow them out in the second half, but it would be great to see a 16 seed finally beat a 1 seed (especially since I have Pitt losing in the Sweet 16).
My Temple upset pick is looking pretty shitty at the moment.
-
Well shit, UT lost.....of course I had them losing in the second round to Pitt so hopefully that won't hurt me too bad. Of course as I type this Pitt is only up 1 against ETSU......

If it were 10 I would feel better. I meant to say Pitt up by 3 in my previous post. Mizzou only up by 4 over Cornell at the half.
-
Damn you Tennessee! Temple is trying...but it's not looking good. Today is not gonna be as good as yesterday. I need to sacrifice more goats!
-
Man the SEC is screwing the pooch this year. LSU has an uphill battle with UNC. I don't expect to see the SEC represented after the next game.

I went from sole possession of 18th (last) place to 10th in one day. Don't call it a comeback!

Wow. AUTR with a strong 30 points in the second round. Nice picks!
I've determined that I need Villanova to beat Duke and then North Carolina to take it all to win this thing. I must scratch the sacrificing of goats and now go to full on human sacrificing...perhaps I can get my hands on a couple of virgins (since I never have before) for a full ritualistic sacrifice to better please the Bracketology Karma Gods.

I've got all but one team left in the 3rd round. I had Arizona State taking out Cuse. I just figured witht he tough tourney run Cuse had in their conference tourney that they would be out of gas. Oh well, there is still a ton of ball left for my bracket to go all to hell.

We may now call my bracket, "The Fail Bracket". :suicide:
