It wouldn't be as interesting if there weren't snubs :nod:
My bracket is filled out based on feel on a rough draft, don't like it but have some surprises at the end. I need to work on the first couple of rounds a little more though.

Not surprised with that move. That team has been dysfunction central recently.Quote:

After a contract extension too I believe. I wouldn't worry about it #1 Wichita is a solid club. #2 I think it is MUCH harder for BCS schools to get up to play in the NIT.Quote:

I had Michigan State losing, Louisville making the Sweet 16. Old Dominion was my killer going to the Elite 8, but did get 12/16 yesterday.
Louisville was the only 4-seed I had winning :D
Hopefully today is better for me
Louisville does this to me every year, I should learn
Oh, I took a chance on Princeton going to the Sweet 16...I "almost" looked like a genius there :D
No way Princeton beats WVU. They're big, but they suck at rebounding. WVU would kill them on the boards.Quote:

Utah State killed me on several of mine. Can't believe they freakin' lost... Wow... That looked like a sure upset to me...
Oh well, unless WVU wins it all (yeah right, but I always have to have one where they win it all just to get my homeism out of the way) I'm pretty much fucked on all of mine (except for maybe one or two where I have Kansas and San Diego State winning it all).
Yeah, Utah State screwed me too. Thankfully I decided last minute to go with Pitt to the Elite Eight instead of Utah State, but that still hurt. St. John's absolutely screwed me over. I thought they'd be good enough to make the Final Four out of the Southeast. I just thought that entire region was weak.Quote:

And I had all four of those losing in today and tomorrow, so I'm at least still in good shape if I completely ignore the bottom right of the bracket.
I didn't pick WVA but I hope they can hang on in the 2nd half. There is ONLY one team that I hate more than UNC and that is Kentucky.
Come on Richmond! Make me a happy SOB!
That Washington loss was painful. However, at least losing to UNC is respectable. I'm still in shock over UCLA's terrible shooting from last night. Seriously, how does that team make it into March Madness??????????????????????
By the way, props to the NCAA for LIVE STREAMING 100% of their games for March Madness. Living in Canada I don't get Tru TV, TBS, or TNT. However, I have watched pretty much at least a portion of every game on the net. Now let's hope ALL FOOTBALL BOWL GAMES will be streamed this upcoming season...
My bracket is full of teams that should have won, but pissed it down their leg late.
Need heart attack medication NOW!
I should have put more faith in VCU. :( I was picking the VCU-Georgetown upset clear back on Monday, before VCU had even played USC, and even at first had VCU over Purdue, until I went against my gut and chose the chalk pick and went with Purdue. VCU just made me pay for it and regret it tonight. I had faith in them back in 2007 over Duke and I had faith in them this year. Unfortunately not enough faith in the end. :smh:
And that's a wrap. The bracket has entered the trashcan. Syracuse just fucked me. Even though I have Kansas winning it all, Syracuse was my runner-up, and with them losing, there goes my second Final Four team. No point even bothering to follow my bracket anymore. I've had so many teams screw me over and destroy my bracket, even with the teams that are still alive for me, it's a lost cause. I'm too deep in the hole I'm in to climb out, even with any help from Kansas.
Wow ... either Florida State or VCU will make the Elite 8 :D
I had the Florida State pick right. Notre Dame was WAAAY overrated in my opinion. And they showed it tonight. I would have had VCU right too if I had given them even more faith than what I already did and stuck with my original gut feeling of VCU over Purdue.Quote:

Yeah, another year of screwing myself over. Of all the picks that I have missed so far, easily half of them I had the correct pick originally, until I started doubting myself and went against my gut feeling and changed it either Wednesday or early Thursday morning. I do that to myself every single year, and it ends up coming back and biting me in the ass in the end.Quote:

Wow, WTF?
Well two games in tonight, and two final four teams out for me :D
I am loving watching Arizona. Though not a fan of the Wildcats, they are making a great run and are a heck of a lot of fun to watch.
:North_Carolina: v. :Kentucky: for a trip to the Final 4? :sick:
I'll have to root for the Holes as I hope there is a special place in Hell for Cal.
Come on Kansas! Win it all boys! Kansas winning it all will shoot me from a 5-way tie for third place, to sole possession of first place, and the massive money in the office pool at work. Don't let me down Jayhawks!
I'm hitching myself to the VCU bandwagon (just like the rest of the nation :D) .... Butler too if they can get past FL
I'm still kicking myself in the ass about VCU. I've been a VCU bandwagon fan ever since I picked them to knock off Duke in the first round in 2007. When they got in the tournament this year, I was already immediately picking them over Georgetown, before they had even played USC in the First Four. Unfortunately, that was where my faith in them ended as I had them then losing to Purdue. :( More faith and I could have been on fire in my office pool with VCU. I view this run by VCU as the Rams and Shaka Smart making me pay for not putting more faith in them. :DQuote:
