Post by: Buzz Killington on March 13, 2019, 08:56:54 AM: For those of you who participated last year, an email invite just went out. For the <cough cough> new guys, below is the link to join in this year.

I have proven it's possible to go sub .500 on the first two days and be completely out of the running by the round of 32. I'll do it again. Don't push me.

Title: Re: March Madness is back
Post by: Snaggletiger on March 19, 2019, 11:25:01 AM: To me, I think there's a pretty clear separation between the top 5-6 teams and everyone else. I'm looking at the #2 seeds and Michigan State may be the only legit contender out of the bunch. They won the regular season and conference tourney championships. I don't see Kentucky, Michigan or Tennessee scaring anyone, although weak brackets may allow a couple of them to skate through.

I think the first weekend may be scorched earth, especially if you pay attention to the ESPN talking bald heads. They're probably just hyping it for ratings but I can't recall them calling for more upsets than they have been so far this year.

Having said all that, the Final 4 will probably look like, Marquette, VCU, Iowa State and Purdue. I can sure pick em'.
Title: Re: March Madness is back
Post by: Buzz Killington on March 19, 2019, 11:35:48 AM: I'm all set. My Final 4 is Murray State, Oregon, Auburn and Liberty. Don't any of you assholes copy my bracket either.

Post by: Snaggletiger on March 20, 2019, 02:35:10 PM: I did something completely different this year. I went with the total underdog and picked Duke to win it all.

I know....I know.....spare me the ridicule. But, I think they have a puncher's chance. And if you really want a big laugh, my actual final 4 are Duke, UNC, Gonzaga and Virginia.

I know, right? But, it's all in good fun anyway.

I admit it's been years since I filled out a bracket. I really don't expect most of my picks to go more than 6 or 7 innings in the first round. But who knows, a goal here, an extra point there, a few penalty minutes in the box and one of these teams may advance.

Post by: Snaggletiger on March 21, 2019, 10:22:24 PM: Here's an update. Cinderella fail X2. Srsly...was on the road listening to games. The Belmont/Maryland game sounded like a classic. I was on I-10 freaking riveted to the call on Westwood 1. The guy from Belmont who had 33 and 11 sounded like a true badass.

Louisville and the Cuse' both stabbed me in the back, but those were 7/10 and 8/9 match ups so that was to be expected. But those Terriers of Wofford, coming from an institution with a total undergrad enrollment of a whopping 1,592 students, hurt my feelings.

Agree. They pack it in and find a way to spot up their guards. It's old school half court ball and they would most definitely control the pace.
Watching that is pure torture unless your team is inflicting the pain.

Kansas was a very good measuring stick. They started slowly though we had nobody that could stop Lawson.

We seem to be able to absorb one guy lighting us up when we are on our game.

Yeah there really is no answer for Williamson or even Barrett to some degree but it looked like State took advantage of the other matchups.
That was a good game to unwind on after our nailbiter.

I would think of the three rewards the bottle of Jade East would be the most rare. Fairly sure the Thunderbird refinery is still yielding barrels of that stuff and most everybody has a "Fuck Georgia" banner.

That out of bounds swipe doesn't get overturned anywhere in the history of the game.

And the no-call foul preceeds the swipe.
