    Gophers will screw up the Big 10 presence in the NIT. Just wait.

    BTW - did anyone ever set up a PA bracket thing on Yahoo? If not, would anyone be interested? Nothing but bragging rights on the line, but it just seems proper.

    Let me know if folks are interested, and I'll set a group up over lunch.

    Made a second bracket, because why the hell not. I made it like five minutes ago and already I've forgotten who I picked to win in it.

    I have a new soccer blog The Minnow Tank. Reading it psychically kicks Sepp Blatter in the bean bag.

    I have them in the Final Four as well. Syarcuse goes down early in the East IMO since they lost Melo, so their only real obstacle is Ohio State.

    This is my absolute favorite time of the year.

    Closer to nauseating. Especially when CBS rented Vitale for the title game, just because.

    There's a coke zero promo for free access to the March Madness Live app. I don't know how it works, but someone mentioned it on Lifehacker.

    You text "0yourteamname" to 2653 and Coke will send you a promo code for the app - and sign you up for a bunch of text-messaging spam.

    So 1 game in and we've already got our first hero performance. Rodney McGruder just put Kansas State on his back and carried them to a win over Southern Miss with 30 points on 11/16 shooting. K-State's #2 and #3 scorers had a combined 3 points in the game.

    Why the fuck did I pick Davidson to win this game? Sometimes I try to be too smart for my own good.

    I'll be 2-1 assuming Louisville doesn't screw this up.

    The Colorado State/Murray State game had some good moments. Close at the half, Murray pulls away, Colorado State starts reeling them back in, but ran out of time.

    Yeah just switched over now that the badger game is over.

    If the badgers can keep playing like that, things could happen

    Oh, hell, Asheville wins and it actually helps me a bit, because Syracuse is the first 1 seed out on both my brackets and they go down in the Sweet 16 both times- once to Vanderbilt and once to Wisconsin. I'd take a lot less damage than all the people who have them in their Final Four.

    There is traditionally one 16 seed that stays close for a half and then gets annihilated.

    YOU SHUT UP THEY'RE GONNA WIN THIS TIME

    EDIT: We're halfway through the second half, and I don't see annihilation on my screen.

    Dickey stop shooting and get the ball to the guys who aren't ice cold!

    1/12 FG and 1/9 3pt are you kidding me?

    I have no knowledge of anything related to this game beyond the mobile Yahoo stat line, but that is a pretty terrible looking game for M. Dickey

  • Options
    BubbaTBubbaT Registered User regular
    And to top it off, the rest of the Asheville team is on fire.

    FG:
    Dickey 1/12 (8%)
    Everyone else 19/35 (54%)

    3pt
    Dickey 1/8 (13%)
    Everyone else 7/13 (54%)

    They're just kids so I don't like to single any one out for losing the game, but c'mon man. Stop shooting. It's just not your day. Help the team in other ways.

    That is some horseshit officiating on the lane violation on the free throw. It would be a one point game right now. Gaaaaaaah.

    The radio guys are also saying they "missed" a goaltending call earlier as well.

    Sounds like the refs got the call from NCAA

    I have no idea what the argument was there - shooting foul means no goaltending? The ball had hit the backboard and was coming back down.
