    Absolute heartbreak. Also complete BUSH league by Mizzou taking that guy out cause he was hurt for those freethrows with 5 sec. left, then after the freethrows immediatly trying to put him in, just bush league.


    I agree

    :? "You play to Win the game" The "rules" allow it.
    So, What you Giving ?........ (Thanks Speedy, Alesek, & Arq+friends)
    What You Giving

    I suggest you step out on your Porch.
    Run away my son. See it all. Oh, See the World!

    well, i got 12 of my 16 in this pool & all of my elite 8 teams are still alive....so there's a slim chance that i could make a little noise!

    i'm doing pretty well in my other brackets, so we'll see!
    i am in second place in the office pool.....

    and if Gonzaga and Villanova can win and make it to the elite 8.......I will be in GREAT shape....

    I think everyone and their mother in my office pool have picked Duke and N. Carolina to advance....

    well....everyone except me....hehehehe

    But if Gonzaga and Villanova lose....then I can take my bracket sheet......and wipe my ass with it....heheheheh
    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    any enjoying the 'become legend' commercials from Nike?

    Love the 2 featuring UConn, especially the one with the Washington Huskies family.
    'It was 11 years ago'. 'UConn has a good business school.' 'I don't even watch basketball.'

    Funny stuff. And true I'm sure. I feel the same way about Duke, although we got revenge on them in '99.
    I love to turn you on

    Oddly enough, that tournament is older than the regular D1 tournament.

    Up until the mid 50's it was the more important tournament. Back then teams were invited to both tournaments and teams that didn't get invited to the NIT felt slighted.

    Back to the games tonight!!

    After these four games, we will have the Delirious Dozen!! :ugeek:

    Go KU!
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    My bracket has been dunzo for a while now... but this was like really the final straw.
    And OH! I was feeling so good about my "educated" picks going into this whole thing... good thing I don't have too much money riding on it.
    Just my pride...

    3 of mine are just for fun (one through AET)
    1 is the other Pit bracket w/ bootlegs as prizes
    1 is me & 19 friends. each person puts in a little cash. winner take all.

    my 3 "fun" ones are hurting pretty bad right now.
    but i just might make a run in one of the other 2 8-) tomorrow is the key!

    Mizzou looks like an NBA team right now. I really think they can take UConn.

    DAMN!!!!

    MEMPHIS losing hurt me BIGTIME!!!!!

    If Memphis wins last night.....i am sitting SO PRETTY in the office pool its silly...

    Oh well

    GO GONZAGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    at least my Villanova making the final 4 pick doesnt look so silly now....

    I was getting laughed at when i had Louisville/Villanova in the championship game......that doesnt look too silly now....

    though UCONN looks tough.........
    Take me piece by piece.....

    GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!

    how many of the sweet 16 do you have????

    You picked Arizona in your sweet 16????

    In my big cash pool, I went 16-0 over the weekend. In my smaller cash pool I went 15-1. Hopefully my luck keeps going and I finish in the money in one of them.
    how did you do last night????

    who are your picks for today?????

    i have kansas beating michigan st. (payback is a bitch) heheheheh

    that pick along with Gonzaga over N. Carolina could make me a Winner.......

    Went 3-1 in both my polls. I had Memphis in the Final Four in both though. I need Missouri to beat U Conn on Saturday or I might as well tear up my brackets.

    My one friend who won the pool a few years ago is the only person who picked Missouri to win it all out of 150 people so he's pretty happy right now. I think only 12 people picked them to make the Final Four so if they make it, my pool will be saved.
