March Madness
« on: March 19, 2008, 02:25:01 AM »
I know we have an international clientèle here, but for those who pay attention to college basketball...

How's your bracket?

And, I know it's sort of last minute, but would you be interested in joining a Yahoo Tournament Pick 'Em group?

potential, no matter who they are. The way to do that is to take power away from those who hoard it. To challenge vested interests. To break down privilege.

Georgetown's going to go all the way this year, I know it.  If I put money on tournaments ever, I'd put money on them.  They're seeded second in their region, between Kansas and Wisconsin, I think.

Kent State was just embarrassing in that game (and, of course, I picked them).

Western Kentucky and Miami just busted my bracket...I had St. Mary's over Texas (which would have allowed Stanford to avoid playing Texas in Houston and to, therefore, reach the Final Four) and Drake in the Final Four.

OUCH.

And, as for the 31 people in Yahoo and ESPN who are perfect as of now...2 (both on ESPN) have Siena, OU, and Oregon.  But those 2 have, respectively, Duke over Butler and Clemson over West Virginia in the final...so those 2 won't beat the 1 to 18,000,000,000,000,000,000 odds to make a perfect bracket.

* Eyes glaze over.

Basketball is a neat sport and I know a decent number of people who really get into it.  Keep me posted on who's kicking butt and who's not; I'm too lazy to watch myself.  ;D

Damn it all.  I don't care anymore.  The Hoyas lost to Davidson.  I'm going to go sulk in the corner about this upset.

I don't give a damn about basketball personally.  My only interest was because my current school managed to make it to round two.

Same.  I only follow my teams, and if they get knocked off early, I just stop watching or caring.
