1Kansas over 1Kentucky (final score 73-67)

gettin smoked early on...frickin murray st with a buzzer beater, not impressed.

I meant to set up a bracket for us to make picks, but totally forgot about it.

So far, I've lost out on Notre Dame (and they cost me betting) and Murray St. over Vandy. All my second round games are in tact besides those. UTEP's getting bombed by Butler, though, so that's another first rounder I'm getting wrong.

I have St. Mary's beating Villanova.

Final four: Kansas, Kansas St., Kentucky, Baylor

Kansas over Kentucky in the final

good lord, i'm not sure this day could get any worse...Ohio taking out Georgetown? They were 7-9 in the MAC for christ's sake haha

3-0 to start....and 8-5 to finish. Thanks, Georgetown and Vandy, thanks a lot.

Right back at ya. Not happy.

I don't follow basketball, but Obama picked Kansas so I'm cheering for them!

Sounds like the way the people in this country voted last election. "I don't know anything about him, but he speaks well!"

Better than, "Hey, Sarah is SO plain-spoken! I just love her!"

At least she had executive experience, rather than the experience of going along for the ride and voting with the party like Barry did. I'm no Palin fan and I hated the VP pick, but any sane American voter should have been wary of Barry's lack of experience.

It wasn't like they had much of a choice...they were picking between a young eloquent guy with a message and an old bumbling fool that wanted to maintain the status quo. America was sick of Bush haha.

I'm by no means an Obama fan, in fact I've been on his case since he was elected, but the choice was simple.

Romney 2012

Well, I'm not going to argue about BO's (lack of) experience, but saying Palin had exec experience is like me saying I've got NHL GM experience.

More important right now: WAKE THE FUCK UP TEMPLE. That is all.

Ya i can't believe we are actually going to see an Ivy team in the 2nd round haha...the owls really fell apart and haven't figured out how to charge

The Dems could've run the corpse of JFK and would've won in a landslide. There was no way the Republicans were staying in power... they could've had the second coming of Jesus running for president and a reanimated John Wayne for VP and they still wouldn't have had a chance.

John "Zombie" Kerry could've won that election.

NCAA Basketball and Political discussions.


YAWN

I have Cornell also beating Wisconsin.

22/32 so far. Missing two Sweet 16 schools. Purdue could really screw my bracket up if they beat A&M. I have A&M beating Duke.

Kansas, wow.
Cornell, wow.

It's been a pretty good tournament so far. Thank you Adam for inspiring me to start watching it, was having a busy week, but now I just do homework while watching the games. It's a good system.

such a good tournament, such a disappointing bracket haha

I didn't do a bracket, but if I did, it would be toast by now. I've probably guessed the winner 60% of the time so far, which is terrible considering how early it is.

This weekend reminded me again of why I should never do brackets. I have just 8 teams left in the Sweet 16, and just 5 (for now) of my Elite 8 remaining. Ugh.

byebye syracuse...good riddance

Syracuse was overrated all year. The Onuaku injury didn't help, but they've played like shit since mid-February.

Go Cornell.

yep, thats why i couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the line against Butler...raked in some money there haha

Raise your hand if you picked Butler v. Duke in the Championship game.

Or if you know anyone outside of Indianapolis who picked Butler.

They are one of the most defensively responsible teams that I have ever seen, and I've watched a lot of college basketball. They lucked out drawing MSU instead of Duke or WVU in the Semis because MSU just hit the wall. They didn't have enough ballhandlers to penetrate the paint.

I don't think Butler beats Duke, but I really, really hope that they do.

Amen. Otherwise we get Duke winning the NCAA, and Carolina (about to) win the NIT, although no one cares about that. Even so, they'll be even more unbearable in the Triangle.

Dayton won the NIT.

Guess I missed that....Proved my point! I'm just glad the bastards (who didn't hire me recently) lost. Now it's Duke's turn.
