first thoughts on the bracket:

george washington just got brutalized. from 26-2 and top ten to an eight seed? i don't care if pops is hurt. duke kind of got screwed by having them as a potential second round matchup.

gonzaga should be pissed, but fine, just go beat ucla.

boston college vs villanova in the round of 16 = awesome.

daerest syracuse, you are the worst 5 seed evar, i don't care about your magical run through the big east tourney.

sweet jesus did GW get rooked.

your thoughts?

I love March Madness. I pick my picks randomly, and a few weeks later I find out I did terribly. It's sublime.

#1 seed

BC being sent to Utah to play Pacific and Nevada to get to that game with 'Nova? Harsh. The committee has no love for my alma mater.

I would love to see a UCLA/Gonzaga Sweet 16 match-up!

I'm a little concerned now, though. Duke Vitale picks UCLA to go to the Final Four. Could this be the kiss of death for my Bruins?

got screwed:
george washington - damn. 25-2 in the A10 gets you a 8 seed? what a huge fuck-you to the A10.... watch them lose in the first round though.

illinois. 25-6 in the bigten, with 2 wins vs michigan state. iowa, north carolina, wisconsin, georgetown, witchita state? 4 seed????


wtf?:
Tennessee a 2 seed???
North Carolina a 3 seed, one ahead of Illinois who they lost to and have a worse record than?
Indiana 6??
Syracuse 5??

mookieproof (mookieproof), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 17:40 (twenty years ago)

Marquette can go fuck itself, tho I had 'em out in the next round.

wow adam morrison is a freak--did you see him hitting himself in the head with the ball and carrying on a conversation with himself at the line?

travelling mookie, Friday, 17 March 2006 04:11 (twenty years ago)

i am sad that marquette lost... it would have been better if they didnt come back and almost win

t0dd swiss (immobilisme), Friday, 17 March 2006 06:13 (twenty years ago)

I forgot how oddly comforting the tourney droning in the background can be.

teeny (teeny), Friday, 17 March 2006 17:57 (twenty years ago)

pittsnoglers!

mookiepr00f, Friday, 17 March 2006 18:57 (twenty years ago)

stupid iowa and northern iowa

mookiepr00f, Friday, 17 March 2006 21:53 (twenty years ago)

Arkansas lost today. As a sports fan, I'm disappointed, but as an employee of this sportstalk station, I couldn't be more thrilled. Nothing but baseball and my feet up on a desk until the freshmen report for practice in August.

Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Friday, 17 March 2006 22:18 (twenty years ago)

a nice run by the albany great danes, but alas

mookiepr00f, Saturday, 18 March 2006 02:26 (twenty years ago)

a day late but what the fuck ... GO WILDCATS!

Eisbär (llamasfur), Sunday, 19 March 2006 04:24 (twenty years ago)

When Illinois gave Washington the balll off what was basically a chest pass to the defender the whole bar was like "OHSHIT"

Jimmy Mod: GRILL ENSPEKTOR (The Famous Jimmy Mod), Sunday, 19 March 2006 04:31 (twenty years ago)

I would love to see a UCLA/Gonzaga Sweet 16 match-up!

Wow. Great game. Go Bruins!

kickitcricket (kickitcricket), Friday, 24 March 2006 19:42 (twenty years ago)

i hate or don't care about any of the teams that are left :(

mookieproof (mookieproof), Saturday, 25 March 2006 19:57 (twenty years ago)

I've got Florida and Texas left, and those are my two least favorite teams.

Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Saturday, 25 March 2006 20:21 (twenty years ago)

So George Mason, then.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 26 March 2006 21:37 (twenty years ago)

Fat
Old
Ugly
Of course she rules!

Raven Blackbird (Raven Blackbird), Sunday, 26 March 2006 23:45 (twenty years ago)

what an odd final four. even without george mason. CBS must be pissed off. no #1 seeds, two teams (lsu & florida) that i always figure to lose in the 2nd round, and stupid pac10 team. going to be the lowest rated final four ever. i want to see george mason win though

phil-two (phil-two), Monday, 27 March 2006 00:04 (twenty years ago)

stupid pac10 team

Ahem.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 27 March 2006 00:09 (twenty years ago)

On the other hand, I am doing surprisingly well, even with only one of my final four picks still in the running. I guess that will change.

Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 27 March 2006 00:10 (twenty years ago)

Anyway, George Mason vs. UCLA would be a dream final. Either my alma mater wins or the giant-killer does. Yay!

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 27 March 2006 00:12 (twenty years ago)

i liked tyus edney though

phil-two (phil-two), Monday, 27 March 2006 00:13 (twenty years ago)

WOW

(and look at me on that LSU pick on the other thread)
