I don't hate KY. don't love 'em, but preferable to duke or AZ or WI.

Fuck John Calipari.

Amongst the Ani

Calipari is such a d-bag. Did you see his halftime interview. He in a nutshell said that Hampton had no chance, the only reason it was even close to start was because he has a lot of freshman and it was their first tourney game and that they would end up blowing out Hampton in the end. I agree with 100% of what he said but come on. Show some sportmanship and say Hampton really pushed you to start and all the normal bullshit coach speak.

I have Duke beating Kentucky in the Finals. This reminds me too much of the UNLV undefeated year so I went with history. Duke ends the perfect season.

I don't know...I think it's kinda refreshing to not hear the normal bullshit coach speak.

SPEEDY MCCREADY

So I submitted 4 brackets to ESPN.

One of my brackets went 13-3 yesterday
I had #11 ULCA winning and I had #10 Ohio State winning. At one point last night, before the LSU/NCST game.....ESPN had me ranked in the 99.7 percentile, and I was ranked 20,000 out of I don't know how many. Pretty Damned Cool! Then of course I lost that game, and plummeted to #120,000.

Either way I am in the 98.7 percentile.
And my bracket went 13-3

Like I said, I am a March Madness GENIUS!!!!!!

I would agree if he wasn't talking about college kids from a small school that were destined to be destroyed the moment the seedings were done. If he wants to get cocky talking about playing Kansas, Duke, Wisconsin or another basketball powerhouse I would agree it would be refreshing. When he is talking about a bunch of kids about to become accountants playing for nothing more than loving to play the game (and to impress the ladies) it comes off as very condescending and disrespectful to me.

Hello?????

Basketball. PJ likes basketball.

What has happened to our sports fans?

this place is fucking dead.

Sorry, yesterday was bar day so I wasn't posting. I lost Iowa St. as a final 4 team, but oh well. I'll shoot up the rankings when my champ game happens

I had the same thing before LSU got knocked off. I was ranked in the 99.8 percentile before that point and am now 98.7. I did lose 2 sweet 16 teams out of those 3 losses so I need the rest of my bracket to hold to have a chance to finish high. 3 points away from a perfect bracket. This is the best I have ever done so far on brackets.

What makes me crazy, is that in 2 of my 4 brackets I had Iowa State losing! But I had them winning in this bracket.

DAMN! 14-2 would have been so damned sweet!

SPEEDY MCCREADY

I am hoping for another day of true MADNESS!!

I have
#14 Valpo
#11 Dayton
#10 Indiana
#10 Davidson

All winning!
Hahahahahahahahaha

SPEEDY MCCREADY

I thought THIS was the OFFICIAL THREAD!!!!!????

Any way I am also in a pool, $60 a square, and it works just like the Super Bowl Squares.

My numbers are 4-3(winning team 4)
and 2-2

Any game that ends up 4-3(64-63....74-53) You get it.....
Or 2-2( 72-62 etc)

I win!!!
The payoffs increase as the tourney goes on.
$6k in the pool.
Last night I didn't win a damned thing!

Amongst the Ani

I hope for a touch of the madness as well but not as much yesterday. I have #12 Buffalo, #10 Davidson and #10 Indiana today. Otherwise its all chalk.

That pool sounds like fun. Good luck!

Come on Michigan State. They were my sleeper for the elite 8. They get knocked out and I'm done.

So out of 11.7 million brackets sent in to ESPN.
Only 273 people are still perfect.

I'm in the majority.

Out of the 273, I wonder what number of those have ever watched a basketball game.

Im thinking a large majority of those 273 watch more college basketball than the rest of us. Im thinking a large majority of those 273, are well educated when it comes to these brackets. No way was it just "dumb luck."

I'm in the same kind of pool for $50,per square. 63 chances to hit o.e block and there are no bad numbers in basketball. 0 and 9 hit a lot yesterday.

It's gotta be both....NO ONE....not Bilas, not Dickie V, nobody.....can know about ALL these teams.

I'm thinking today has got to be a letdown after yesterday....the three games going on right now are not all that riveting....I hope I'm wrong.

I can't stand Jim Nance.
