I'm in!

Shouldn't this be in the tailgate?

:rolleyes:

I'm in and yes, this definitely needs to be in the Tailgate. Only Nascar and soccer should be here.

Wilmac, can't you do anything without your warped political views? :rolleyes:

I figured that it would get more exposure here, but would welcome it moved to Tailgate just prior to the Tourney starting.

FYI - Selection Sunday is this weekend.

I am in!

Yet another pool...

I can't use my moderator powers to move it *IN* to the Tailgate... only to move soccer and NASCAR stuff *OUT* of the Tailgate...

little help?

I am in......and going to take the title agin this year!!!

...yet another worthless sports thread. :rolleyes: Who the fuck cares!

in

I'm in...

I hear ya! :rolleyes:

Losers.

I'm in

It's like magic.

Oh, I'm sooooo in!

had to drop one on the NASCAR haters!

Hobag's Hotel is in!

You NEED a nemisis! MMMWWWAHAHAHAHAHA

Tha nipple

is in.

ebuzz in da hizzah

i am in, woohoo!

WHOO HOO!!! Wichita State is a #7 seed!!!

They haven't been in since 1988, when I was 13 years old! My dad and I used to go to the games all the time when I was a little kid...back when Xavier McDaniel and Antoine Carr played...man, those were the days!!

GO SHOCKS!!

Whooop!

The Aggies are dancing for the first time since 1987!! What a turnaround from a Big-12 record of 0-12 only two years ago!!! Gig 'em Aggies!

I think that mascot pretty much says it all...

Bunch of hayseeds.

Yes... go shocks!

Ahhh... let the games begin...

OU is on its way to messing up my bracket already (at least they're only down 5 right now).

So far so good on the other games that have started: BC and Wichita St.

OU better win, or I'll hate those 'mo's more than I do already....

GO

It's official...

Oklahoma has just made my enemies list.

Oklahoma, UCLA and Tenn. are all completely over-seeded. The Oklahoma loss is not a shock to anyone.

Now Pacific on the other hand....

Uhm yeah.

And if BC loses to Pacifc that wil put me 0-3 for the morning.

SHITFUCK!

Fancy that - another overrated team from the Big-12. Why did I buy the hype? :rolleyes:

Agree on UCLA - Pac-10 BB completely blows this year.

If BC loses (and it looks like they will), I'll be 1 for 3 on the first three games.

Oh yeah...I picked Oklahoma to lose!

But those bastard Hayseeds from Wichita...BASTARDS!

And Pacific is about to piss me off.

No worries yet...they'll lose in the next round to my picks.

Yeah, BC...take it 2OT. I have hope!

BWAHAHAHAHAHA

You are "Reagan Sucked" aren't you?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Sweet.

I wish I was at home watching all of this instead of at the office following on yahoo.

Watch that hayseed bullshit, you cornshuckin' Hoosier.

Zip it, turd, or you'll be on the list too.

Peep this...I AM at the office watching it. MWWAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Whew.

A reprieve.

Is it a bad time to say that BC is my darkhorse to beat Villanova in a 2 overtime shocker to advance to the Great 8?

At least we HAVE championships.

Nice - Pacific finally ran out of gas.

2 and 3 on the morning, thanks to the hayseeds in Norman.

Same here.

Fucking dicks of Wichita.

Ahem....touche'.....

Whew...two of three, but lost one of my final four...

...gawd, I hate Oklahoma.

Hell with that - I called Wichita.

Fucking dicks of Norman.

two of three here too
All because I doubted that Whisky Milwaukee could advance two years in a row

FYI to those stuck at work, you can watch all games for the first 3 rounds for free here:

http://www.ncaasports.com/mmod/welcome

Which is outstanding.

One game here on TV and the other two on the computer.

It's like a sports book in here right now. (The office)

You.

Fucking.

Rock.

Does this mean I get 5 trucks?

Go Montana!

This was such a good find that I gritted my teeth and gave you 5 trucks, in spite of you super-gay conference.

3 for 3 this afternoon

Nevada and Marquette better pick shit up though

Tennessee is too close for comfort as well

Florida looks good so far though

WOW the Tennesee Winthrop game was incredible!
Definitely too close for comfort, makes me 4 of 5

Tennessee is damn lucky!!

Wow, what a shot in the corner for TENN...makes me 5 for 5 so far.....Marquette ties it up and hopefully will pull it off....Nevada is letting me down though!!!!

No shit.

I was pulling for Winthrop even though I have Tenn winning in my bracket. I'm thinking I maybe should have put Wichita state down for 2 wins instead of just 1.

Damn you Marquette and Nevada.....ruin my record ....5-7 so far.

4-7 here

5 of 7 here.

Like any of this matter right now. I always start of good the first half day.

4-7.

A big "FU" to Marquette, Nevada, and Oklahoma.

Anyone else check the scenario generator....it is hard for me to lose really

6 of 7 for me. I'm pretty happy.

It's still early though.

Right now I am 10/11 but Im not in yalls tourney. Unfortunately, I had Nevada going up to the 16.

Damn - I was about ready to break out the o-v-e-r-r-a-t-e-d chant on the Zags.

Average team + Ammo = decent overall squad.

The guy's a stud, even with the porn-stash.

13 of 16 and in first place (tied) so far!!

11 for 16, tied for 10th. Ouch.

Hopefully today goes better.

14/16 I really thought San Diego had that game too. I didnt pick too many upsets today, so we'll see how I fair.

Heres my bracket if anybody cares
Koalakilla\'s bracket

Your're not in our pool, so no one cares.

13 of 16 so far for me...tied for first. I still have all of my Sweet 16 teams too.

right there with ya!

12/16....woo hoo

Thanks Iowa. There goes my 1st Sweet 16 team.

Alford can now go take that Indiana job. :rolleyes:

14 for 20 now (Atlanta is killing me - 2 for 5 there). I've still got all my sweet 16 teams.

Arizona isn't a good team this year - the Big 10 is overrated.

Geezuz....I was on my way to a three for four morning and a nice recovery and Iowa lets it slip away. I had Bucknell so there was my saving grace to hang on to a 2-2 morning.

I do have Nrothern Iowa over GTown so I hope to make up something there.

Celler dweller no more!

15 of 20 now...starting to slip.

I still have all of my Swee 16 teams.

Looks like I'll be 4 for 4 on the afternoon games.

That's what I get for taking a risk: 3-4 on the afternoon.

31-30 UConn over Albany at the half.

Fuck my bracket.

Go Albany!

19 of 24.

Go George Mason! Go NC State!

Fucking UCONN better pull it together...I have them winning it all.

Me too, but even so I'd love to see them fall to Albany.

Yeah, I guess it would be cool to see a #1 seed lose to #16 seed. Talk about a choke job. I don't think that's ever happened, has it?

Well there's your first problem right there.

UCONN wins it with a huge run in the second half.

I'm 23 of 28 so far. Not too shabby.

Damn - Albany ran out of gas.

Plus, Cal lost. If they'd have won the Pac-10 would have been 4-0. But I guess 3-1 isn't too shabby given that this is a down year (and it really is - there are a couple of okay teams, but none that are really good).

21-28....not good....not worried though as I was behind last year before I stormed to the top :rolleyes:

This is by far the best time of the year!! I LOVE MARCH MADNESS!

Looks like I'm all alone in first place...for now.

Fuck. Kansas is about to fuck my whole game.

Kansas DID fuck my bracket...didn't have them winning it or anything, but had 'em in the final four...fucking Freshmen

(many strong curse words)

AUGH!!! I got no chance of winning now....

22 out of 32 right now, and I'm missing one sweet 16 team (MSU).

Still holding at 10th.

Sweet, I'm doing pretty good. I got 25 in my pay league (3rd place in about 60 ppl) and I'm tied for 2nd in the XOC pool w/ 24 correct.

BTW, I'm a Big XII guy and even I knew they suck this year. They're all too young (except UT). Next year will be the year you pick the Big XII teams, especially Tech.

Damn you Kansas!!!!

WHOO HOO!!! WSU over Tennessee!!! What a game!

Who cares about my bracket at this point?! Go Shocks!!!

So much for the PAC 1, bitches!

Can Az. pull off a huge bracketbuster tomorrow?

Signed,
Cellar dweller no more .

Holy crap, I sit atop the Day 3 XOC leaderboard with my wife's picks! That obviously won't last considering she picked Tennessee to go to the Final Four.

Gah....my brackets are in shambles.

Go WSU!...Go Bradley!

That's allright. Bradley is destroying the brakets with their win over Pit and with any luck George Mason is going to do the same with a win over UNC.

WOW! George Mason adds to the upsets!

Despite the fact that George Mason kills my bracket deader than it already was, I can't help but smile when I know Roy Williams isn't going to the Sweet 16

Looks like I'm back in first place all alone.

My picks:
11/16
5/8
4/4
2/2

I'm only one behind you.

I also like my chances in my pay league. I've got all but one (North Carolina) in my Elite 8. Then again, I'm sure no one had George Mason or Wichita St., so I know I'm not missing out on anything there. I'm in 3rd place (out of 60), but I'm tied for 1st for best score possible.

What a great touney so far....best time of the year!!! Kansas and UNC have hurt my bracket a little but not crippled me....as long as the ifnal four is 'right' I will be fine :rolleyes:

Anyone else play with the scenario generator at all?? It is really cool to see how your picks will work out for you or how upsets or wrong choices effect the final outcome. Even changing one pick can make a huge difference as others have such different brackets.....I am still in the running to hold on to my title for sure

I can still win - but only if all my picks are right from here on out.

Too bad Arizona couldn't pull off the upset last night (even though I had 'nova in my braket, I was pulling for the cats).

Oh well.

3 points out of the lead right now, tied for 5th.

What do you guys think on the UCLA/Gonzaga game? At this point I'm leaning toward UCLA taking it, and then losing to Memphis.

I have UCLA winning...and then losing to Kansas...oh...

FUCK those Jayhawks!!

Holy shit.

Bye Bye Dukies.

I didn't pick them in the final four! But the wrong team beat them.

Holy flurkin schnit, this tournament fricken ROCKS!!!!!

Best one ever!!

Yeah, Wilmac...you're DONE!

All four of your final four are GONE!

Looks like Spalind and I have the highest "possible" scores left.

C'mon picks!

I love to see the highly talented team like Duke lose.

BTW, looks who's in first again (for now).

Fuckingduke!

They win like they are supposed to and I'm in this thing with my entire final four intact. Shitfuckdamnhell.

Message to Morrison:You're not Jim. Cut your hair. And for christ's sakes; you played a great game. As a matter of fact you played your heart out. You are going to be rich beyond your wildest imagination. Don't start crying when you are down by one and there's 1.8 seconds on the clock.

Two great finishes tonight. I actually hate to see a team like Gonzaga lose a game like that at the end because they unraveled but shit, UCLA coming back from a 17 point halftime deficit while building a brick house in the first half, they deserve the W.

Fuckingduke!

Jeezus. In one night I went from all alone in first place, to tied for 10th. Fuck Duke. Fuck Gonzaga. Fuck WVU. 3 out of the 4 games tonight I lost.

Fuck.

The one positive is Duke losing. Even though I picked them to get to the championship game, I can't stand them.

Now that you mention that, I went from last place on day 1 to 6th from the bottom after the 2nd round to 6th tonight.

You see kids: the cream always rises to the top.

Oh wait...

FUCKINGDUKE!

I could give a rats ass! HOOK 'EM HORNS!

FUCKING AWESOME ENDING! I AM SO TEH WATSEDD!!!

down goes Duke = good:D
down goes Zaga = bad

I don't like UT's chances the rest of the way, but damn... they could be the first school to win baseball, football and basketball championships in a row. Is it safe to assume they've peaked?

BTW, where's dukey off2cjb? Did he have a heart attack with Dick Vital?

I got raped last night by Duke and Gonzaga and I'm 2 points out of the lead in third?

Great fucking night of basketball. I'm already starting to get a little bummed out that I'm stuck with the NBA and MLB until football kicks off this fall. Both are okay, but they just don't compare to CFB, CBB, or even the NFL.

Morrison shouldn't cry too much - he'll be a top three pick and make millions even if he doesn't pan out. I do have a hard time faulting a kid for showing that kind of emotion, because he really did give it his all and left it all on the court. That kind of passion is what makes college ball so much better than the NBA.

Lots of tears last night...

This is without a doubt the best NCAA tournament I have ever seen. Even more badass games tonight.

I hate the fuskies, but they were fucking robbed last night.

Edited to clarify - the Washington Fuskies.

Holy crap. I just realized that I'm now 5 points ahead. How did that happen? I have... I mean my wife has Tennessee in the final four and Duke winning it all.

Tyrus Thomas is a freak of nature.

George Mason beats UCONN!!! This is fucking insane!

Holy.

Shit.



This tourney rocks.

Woohoo... I'm still in first!

I slipped big time (had UCONN winning it all).

But I don't care - I was pulling for GMU the whole game. TWO MORE!!

What the hell was this guy smoking?
http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/men/1143123/viewbracket?rid=0

I wonder what the odds of that were.

UCLA now has to be the favorite to win it all which would be the worst thing to happen to a coach of a developing group of underclassmen. Hopefully if they do in it all, he can keep their egos in check and win or lose they will be a force next year as well.

Looks like only two of us can score any more.

Good luck to XtremeFlyer... you can still get the champion.

At ESPN.com, there were four brackets submitted with the correct final four.

http://sports.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnation/story?id=2385599

And apparently one guy there put $20 on George Mason to win it all... with a possible big payout...

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/ncaatourney06/news/story?id=2385295

Everybody I talked to thought I was completely crazy for picking florida to win it all. Too bad I missed a few of those big upsets or I could have won a big 62" plasma from msnbc Oh well this has been an incredible tourney

Wow.

Regan sucked and so did Wilmac.

So, who was the XOC Tournament Pick'em winner?

It was until the last three games, which were all total snoozers.
