so did you make any brackets? NCAA 2009

http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/t1?tid=1818088

i made a bracket for my free work pool, i don't know shit about this though so it was mainly guess. i had maryland go all the way lol

I've never made a bracket. I doubt I ever will. I just can't get in the proper spirit. The certainty that whatever wild-assed guesses I committed to paper would all be smashed to matchsticks in the first round just deflates my desire to even try to get it right.

i just made one right now on impulse, picked mostly 1-4 seeds because of STATISTICS. i think the highest seed in the elite 8 i picked was ucla and that was on reputation cos i have not followed college basketball ever

haa mee too w/the ucla - just spent abt 3 minutes putting one together - picked oklahoma over uconn - hav watched maybe 3 games all year - its fun to just take wild guesses - tho one time a few years ago i was in 1st place out of like 60m in espns challenge after the 1st round - fell apart after that tho :(

this is my bracket btw

lol http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/tny/2009/03/march-madness.html

i hav pick the 1st 2 games correctly - i am 100% so far

missed a&m over byu, got the other two.

i did no prep btw so this will not be interesting real soon

1st 3 correct!

im 2/3 now

i did no prep either - dont think it really helps tbh

haha exact same as cad!

yea glad i discovered a&m beat byu in round 1 last yr. 3/3 so far but i rarely do well @ this tourney

some scary moments in that memphis game--i have them going far because i love the memphis streetball crew and they were in a battle with cal-northridge for a while

its pretty random imo - best u can do is to hav some sense of a general pattern

oh yeah it's completely random, i would just have a placebo thing going on if i had read some capsules on each team or something

i'm 2/3 also, i picked butler over lsu

i believe in picking 2 #1s 1 #2 and 1 #4 for the final four

ayo how about this dude going 10/13 from three when his career high was 13 points total

i picked mich st, memphis, nova and unc - i think i'm gonna go 0/4

i have mich st., maryland, pittsburgh, and oklahoma

yea glad i discovered a&m beat byu in round 1 last yr. 3/3 so far but i rarely do well @ this tourney

i think i knew this too i just have a weird faith in the abilities mormons

ill read some reviews but all that does is give a gloss of competence to my random picks. i won some money in a work pool three or four years ago and the other dudes were angry cause i told them i just picked based on the team names so now i try to front a little

memphis, pitt, louisville, cuse.

wake/uconn/pitt/oklahoma

i think i knew this too i just have a weird faith in the abilities mormons

i pick against mormons whenever the opportunity presents itself

3/3 so far, i got louisville going all the way. i did last year as well : /

im 1/3 but idk if there's anything more pointless than trying to prognosticate 8/9 games

louisville has an easy easy path.

right now is case in point why i like to do a little prep: purdue is turning out to be pretty athletic, and they never have athletic teams. i did not like an unathletic purdue team at 5 but they're actually big and fast.

patino is an all time punk bitch fuck lousiville

louisville does have an easy path, but wake forest is super talented and they reeeeally play up to their competition so i'm buying the hype about them beating UL

lol u butthurt

wake/uconn/pitt/oklahoma

haha i picked wake forest too i went wake/pitt/memphis/carolina

did everyone pick a 12 over 5 upset - yr kinda contractually obligated to do so no - just realized i picked lol 2

i picked arizona and the trendy wku over u of i pick

lol u butthurt

i am - he raped the shit out of the celtics - total con man - tho that approach works when u can just con players into joining yr team

i tht hard abt arizona but see post upthread re: mormons

i love the idea of a pitino/callipari all-time sleazy college coach throwdown in the final four.

really any nba or nfl team that hires a big time college coach deserves to get horribly horribly fucked.

lol troo :(

turning a great college coach into even a decent pro coach is like taking a great closer and making him a starting pitcher: true colors revealed 95% of the time imo

its cause college "coaching" is really more "recruiting"

jimmy johnson is like the only great one - i guess switzer? but not really

larry brown

your relationship with your players is roughly 1000% different going from one to the other.

ugh they switched me to uconn/chatt i hate 1/16 games, altho the "mocs" look pretty fearless.

someday a 16 will beat a 1 and itll be pretty sweet

lol wats a bracket

lol i just learned that "mocs" is short for "mockingbirds," real threatening you guys.

switzer was just riding JJ's coattails

yes

i am feeling unconvinced that gerald henderson will actually be an nba starter

i hate to play this card but he only gets the reverence he does because he plays for duke. james for texas fills basically the same niche but he's way better and less publicized. i think he could be a good 7th guy off the bench but i dont think he could start

this guy pittman is a fucking TANK

this western kentucky team is badass

what kinda refs call two loose ball fouls in the last minute?

right?

fuck duke

President Obama eight-for-eight on Saturday

what the what?

I`m so glad I woke up early to watch James Harden shit the bed against Syracuse. Why does my bracket hate me

34/41 overall so far, but that ucla pick to go to leet 8 was ill-considered.

i am staging a solid comeback atm...i need usc and mizz badly today

I`m so glad I woke up early to watch James Harden shit the bed against Syracuse

He shit the bed because he and his team couldn't handle the 2-3 zone.

yeah, I`ve never seen a team spend so much time outside the 3-point line

Not a good year for the Pac-10.

fucking usc

41/48

34/48 terrible

I have 2nd round picks now though, all new picks
I can still win $5000 via http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/

the most anyone got right on yahoo was 45/48... so no one wins a million

erm... second chance picks. sweet 16

good analysis abt how many pts thabeet's name is worth in scrabble, enberg

lol dixon 4got he couldnt dunk

DID U GUYS JUST SEE THAT DUNK

that was a sick dunk

dude on missouri just hit a 65 foot shot at the end of the half

yessss need them

and if duke loses i'll be ^_^

duke squashed like bugs ^_^

1 2 1 3 1 3 1 2

sort of a boring year eh

games yesterday were boring as shit xcept for blake griffin hittin his face on tha backboard. loling @ cuse fans was fun

syracuse busted my bracket :(

yahoo has this thing where you can see where you'll end up depending on who wins the rest of the games, and i can still come in third place if all the #1 seeds advance, and uconn beats pitt in the final

villanova ousted pitt today in a close one, so your uconn vs. pitt final game is so much dust and ashes.

:(

bracket is busted wide open :C

i didn't watch uconn - villanova when it was a tues night 7 pm game on espn, let alone the fuckn national title

*~*~*~*~*ban tha big east*~*~*~*~*

thankfully im pretty sure that either oklahoma or unc will axe murder villanova

mich state really poppin their collars now

LOL, I love Gus Johnson

so happy patino lost today that was rad

if unc wins this game i'd have hit 3/4 final four :D

missed uconn btw

^same 4 me. still dont think i have a chance at cashing in my pool cuz so many ppl will have CT and i think theyll at least get 2 the title game

assuming unc hangs on here i'm gonna be top person w/ unc winning it all so i can still take it if they win

i have 3/4 in Final Four (after UNC wraps it up) .. missed 'Nova, but should still win my pool (thanks, Sparty!!)

yeah mich st was really flying under the radar

Tarheels beat the tar out of the Spartans to take the title in a walk. Strangely unsatisfying tournament this year -- except maybe getting to see Duke bitch-slapped.

not a great tourney

Terrible final. I'm going to watch only one college basketball game all year and this is what I get? Hmmph.

when i turned it on msu was already down by 20+
