March Madness Pick'em

Is it just me, or is the Oakland region totally up for grabs? I could see Gonzaga going to the Final Four, but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see them lose to Xavier, who might be the best #14 seed ever. Memphis is unimpressive as a #1, likewise UCLA as a #2. To me, Indiana is a more impressive team than Kansas or Pittsburgh. I'm fairly confident about the other regions, but Oakland is just wide open.

I just did it real quick, without much contemplation this year... that probably means I'm going to win .

Same here - but I have the added advantage that I know NOTHING about college sports. So I'm going to win.

Well, I sent out the invite, so it's not my fault.

(Your e-mail provider must have choked on it or blocked it... I can send you another invite to a different address though.)

SU went from being an "outside the bubble" team to being a #5 seed! We'll see if they deserve that, or if they'll just add to the legacy of a 12 seed beating a 5.....
Regardless, glad to see McNamara getting one last trip to the NCAA's!

2-1 thus far... I originally had Wichita State, but for some reason went back and picked Seton Hall instead. Always trust your first instinct.



Very nearly lost one of my Final Four teams... christ almighty, BC, grow a pair!

EDIT: Imran, 0-3 so far?

I almost cried

If UOP had beaten BC I would have

Oh, GD-it. Too late, I'm sure...

Not surprisingly, Tennessee is in a street fight against Hampton. I came justthisclose to taking Hampton in that game... I hope they switch over my regional telecast (Florida-South Alabama) to that game in the second half.

one of my coworkers brought in a TV to watch the games

I've been asking him to switch it over to Oprah

He went on a 10-minute tirade about how much he hates her

Actually, that is surprising news, especially considering UT is playing Winthrop.

[Guynemer]

ooops.

Well, Gonzaga put the fear of God into a lot of people, but managed to get by. Sure seems like the committee erred by making Xavier a 14.

I'm the only one that picked Montana!!!!

Montana and Nevada used to be big time rivals back in the 80's.

I knew Montana would do it.

But, I think I am nuts to go with Gonzaga.

Why in hell did I do that?

ACK!
