Title: March Madness
Post by: Nabubrush on March 17, 2011, 11:51:43 pm

Probably should have done this earlier, but maybe next year? ESPN has groups we can join.

So far I'm 5-2, W. Va, Kentucky, Temple, SDSU, and Pitt, but Louisville and Butler.

Worth a try: http://games.espn.go.com/tcmen/en/entry?entryID=1706702&sp=true

yeah, it's a little late.  But I'll do it if anybody else will.

Neither of my alma maters played well today.  At least UK pulled it out at the end.

Oddly enough, one daughter is planning to go to Morehead in the fall, the other to Louisville.

Almost everyone I picked (http://www.wxdu.org/brackets/2011/punk) got eliminated in the first or second round.

I'm at 83%, and I picked Richmond and Gonzaga.

If y'all are into it next year I'll put together a bracket, though it'll be like LFM at football.

I will have to try to remember to arrange this next year.

If you already have a bracket set up on espn.com, you can join a group.  You can't get in now if you don't already have your bracket, though.

group name:  TOUAMB
password:  nicepete

I had St. John's in the final four, so pretty much everyone is ahead of me already.

FUCK and YES George Mason!

Also VCU, who I normally hate, but CAA pride and all that.

I'm still theoretically alive for all my eights (and so on) to come through.

Apparently, as I learned tonight when I saw a banner that engulfed an entire side of the downtown Hilton hotel (so much for your park view, suckers), that the Final Four is being held in my fair city.  This is cool.

Wish I could be there to see it.  And you.

GO CATS!

Okay, it doesn't exactly engulf the entire side of the building, but it is about nine stories high (http://www.flickr.com/photos/pmcd9/5566877177/)

I am deeply conflicted about this VCU thing.  Mid-major, Virginia school, giant killer, ordinarily I'd be happy about this.  But, they're George Mason's #1 rival and I hate them.

Would Duke fans be happy if North Carolina made the final four?  No, no they would not.

They'd better get a move on. March is almost over
