2008 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament

Yeah, but he’s an un, you’re an een.

Look for me and the Alabama Jama in the bleachers at Ford Field tomorrow!

Will you be holding the “Fluffhead” sign?

No, i’ll be holding the Davison sign only to be singled ouy by a Davidson fan telling me that i spelled Davidson wrong. At which time i will kick him in the balls and yell “GO DAVISON”!

Even better!!

UCLA looked awfully tough tonight.

Damn checked the standings today and I’m in last place. Pathetic. I can’t believe that all 4 #1 seeds made the final four. Actually I can’t believe this has never happened before. Is that statistic right? It’s just hard to belive. There has been alot of tournaments.

Actually I think it is, but they are going by when the tournamnet was expanded to 64.

Au contraire, mon frere…you are in 10th, I am in 11th by a considerable margin.

Ugh.

You have 8 more points than me and 6 more correct picks!

Hurray! I’m not in last anymore. Of course I had Stanford losing in the Finals so we’ll see how long that lasts.

Seriously, Texas had the exact same issues that MSU did against Memphis. Texas don’t win without their guards and they had loads of trouble against Memphis’ huge guards. Oh well.

Awww poor Davidson…I was pulling for them and they almost did it. Even better, Gus Johnson finally got to let loose at the end and we had some classic Gus screams during some of those final three attempts. Good times.

Sadly, I’ll probably miss a majority of the Final Four games on Saturday since I have to be at a wedding. Ug. I guess that’s one good thing about the Spartans not making it since I would have had to disappear from the wedding for three hours which wouldn’t have gone over well.

Stevo

I will be victorious!

Here’s how the bracket would have panned out had wins been based on the median income of each school’s graduates:

::starting to think he should have went to Stanford::

when was the last time all number 1 seeds where in the final four?

^Never

Interesting bracket if the tournament were actually set up by geographic regions:

We’d probably have the same results we have now in the Final Four, but you never know.

So according to the little scenario generator thing, I won the bracket. All kneel before me!

That was fun though, I’m glad someone invited me to their bracket this year.

Congrats.

Should be a fantastic game. Memphis is favored by 1.5 points.

I see overtime!!

There has only been one good game since the Sweet 16 and it was Davidson against Kansas. This tournament has been quite the disappointment. Hopefully tonight’s game is at least close…overtime would def make up for a shitty final four.

Agreed.

You’d think by getting all four #1 seeds into the Final Four that the two games would be fairly competitive…nope. It was the most rich, tradition-laden Final Four in history and we would up with a stinker.

At the beginning of this tourny I listened to a report about these guys that used mathematical equations to figure out who will win.

They said Kansas.

Good call on OT Ghost. I hate to toot my own horn, but I will anyway. I knew just knew that North Carolina would not take home the title. I gotta admit I was nervous when I saw them play there first 3 games. Damn they looked dominant.

Anyways I’m glad for Bill Self and Kansas. Hats off to you.

I feel bad for Coach Calipari. The guy is amazing. I was listening to an interview with him on the Jim Rome Show midseason and the guys is flat out witty and motivating. I was moved by him listening to him on the radio. No wonder the guy can flat out recruit. He convinced me to believe in him by this one interview. I guarantee he’ll get a title eventually.
