Who's ready for it?

My two favorite teams are Florida (Gators) and Maryland. Florida is a lock for a tournament bid, but Maryland MUST win against Va Tech this Saturday.

We usually have a huge pot in several brackets here at college, so I'll let everyone know if there's one in which you'd be interested in a few weeks when the bracket is in stone.

A few years back, I used a free online setup to track a tourney pool. Are those still around or does everybody want $$$ to track pools.
Biggins
You can set it up for free through Yahoo. We did that last year, but all the money was held by the trustworthy commissioner here at school. I do not know how funds would be transferred by setting one of these up through the forums (that's why I didn't volunteer to set it up). However, I'm willing to do one for free just for the fun of it.
SMan
For the fun of it is what I intended. I don't follow college b-ball except at tourney time, so I can't risk my loot!

It looks as though the only tourney in which Maryland will be playing is the Not Important Tournament (NIT) this year.

They were awful against Clemson for the 3rd time this year.

At least I have Florida to cheer on during the NCAA tourney. I'll work on setting up the brackets when they come out later this weekend.
SMan
I hope they get in. That way, I'm guaranteed one correct pick in the first round when I pick their opponent. smile.gif

How in the @#$% do you beat Duke 2 times and then lose to a horrible Clemson team 3 times??? Gilchrist is a head case and I hope he decides hes good enough to go pro and leave college Park ASAP!!!!! I'm rooting for WVU for the rest of the tourney. Hell of a victory knocking off BC
Idiot
Count me in.

The Kentucky Wildcats is where my heart is. But I might have to look at the brackets first.

I mean I always go with the Cats but I may want a second entry if that's possible.

No really big upsets last night. I guess Pacific and UWM beating Bama are the biggest but alot of people were calling those. Some really good games today.
Pop open the cold ones and station my self in front of the big screen for the weekend


Hey we never did get a pool going here. maybe we can do a sweet 16 pool. should be easy to do. we could even post our picks here
Biggins
I got busy with French, New Testament, and Modern Political Analysis work here at school and BARELY got my bracket in to all the campuswide pools. Sorry I could not get anything set up.

I got destroyed yesterday. I only went 8-8, probably my worst predicting EVER. I definitely won't be defending my status as bracket genius from last year (I won over $200).

My Final Four:
Arizona*
Georgia Tech
Florida*
Duke
*Florida over Arizona in the championship game.

I'm up for posting from the Sweet 16 on.

blink.gif Now, I know why it's called MADNESS!  blink.gif

In all the years I've watched the NCAA tournament I don't think Ive ever seen back to back games like those 2 yesterday. I feel bad for WVU but I'm happy for Louisville.

My team is about to tip off.

Go Wildcats!

smile.gif
Idiot
OT!

75-75

Even if my team loses this has been the best 4 regional finals I have ever seen.

GO CATS!!!!
Idiot
2nd OT!

81-81

I've never seen so many games that both teams deserve to win. Unfortunately only one can.

This is MADNESS!!!!!!!
SMan
I think that kid's foot was on the 3 point line, but it's damn good b-ball and I'm glad they decided it wasn't.
Idiot
These coaches are great.
Idiot
Congratulations to the Spartans.

What a game.

What a weekend of games. College basketball is the best. Congratulations also to the Wildcats on great a season.

At least the state of KY has one team in the Final Four.

Go Cardinals!

March is over. April is here.
Time for Illini/Tarheel fans to cheer. tongue.gif

Gotta go ACC... tongue.gif

GO UNC! biggrin.gif
Biggins
I hate both teams, so hopefully a baseball game will be on.
Biggins
UNC won and Roy Williams gets all the credit for the 0 players he recruited to make the team win the championship.
