Very funny

. You know what I mean. My bracket is sure to turn south sooner or later. It's just a matter of time. In the meantime, I'll be 8-0 if the games end with the current leader winning these games.

I'm very impressed by the creativeness of the Boise State Athletic Department, especially their facilities.

Not only do they have a unique court design for their bball games, but they also the "smurf turf" which has helped in making their team more recognizable on a national level. I know fancy designs and color schemes do not make teams better, but it can help boost attendence, which in turn helps out their athletic department.

comments?

Hopefully Toledo 11 will take us away from this BC game. They are cruising right now (up about 20 at half), and its not real exciting.

At least its St. Paddy's day so those that took the day(s) off for the tourney are able to enjoy some libations and get ready to go out tonight!

Well...I'm 5-8 right now. This is pretty good considering I don't know much about any of these teams. My biggest loss so far is UTEP...I had them going to the Elite 8.

Remember...I don't know much about these teams. My picks consisting of looking at their records and how close the teams were to their homes. I picked some upsets because of what I thought would be "home court" advantage.

At least I'm not like the girl I saw on the news that picks teams based on team colors...

Rock.
Chalk.
GACK!!

Thank you conscience for not picking Kansas past the next round anyway, and thank you Bucknell for reminding everyone why it's "March Madness". Of course, Vermont is merely a footnote now, but they had their hour and a half in the sun....

Thanks Wake Forest. My work bracket is now in donation mode.

Though I think I'm still in the running for that handful of AA glass...

That was one of the best games I have seen in a long, long time. I hate WVU but I have to give them credit. It was like they could do no wrong.

My bracket has been to hell and back this year, its insane.

I think I was perfect today on picks, so I'm still in the hunt.

TG1996 · Post by **TG1996** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 12:23 am

I'm actually tied for first in my work bracket after all, but having that Wake Forest void in the final means I have to be near perfect the rest of the way and hope for someone other than Illinois to come out of that region.

I don't care who wins any of the games anymore. Just please, please stop playing that Burger King commercial!

I find that commercial oddly compelling.

Is that Darius Rucker? Sure looks like him.

I think its the cheerleaders, but I really want to eat some BK now...

BTW, anyone else watch Spring Break Shark Attack? Now THAT was compelling television!

It is darius rucker. And I must agree that I find the commericial oddly compeling too. I was half suprised my 8.5 month pregnant wife didn't send me out to pick some up. I like the outfits that the girls by the ranch stream wear.
