Missin' the good times...

When we would have 1,000 posts racked up about the NCAA Tournament after the first day.

Anyone watching? What does your final four look like? There have been some pretty exciting games today.

molarmite · 03-18-2010, 06:26 PM

Well Nova gave me quite the scare since I do have them in my final four. So far I got two games wrong I believe. Old Dominion and Murrary St.

molarmite · 03-18-2010, 06:29 PM

Anyway, my final four is Villanova, Syracuse, Kentucky and Kansas with Kentucky winning the whole thing.

MorseMoose · 03-18-2010, 06:29 PM

Depending on my pool, I got OD and Murray right...just not in the same pool.

turdfurgeson · 03-18-2010, 06:40 PM

I was glad to see St Marys win.

Either I have not been paying attention or no one is talking about it but it is nice to see Baylor do well after the stuff they went through 6 or so years ago.

Facebook exchange:

Bruce: It's BRUketology time!

Friend: yeah, still not so catchy Brucie [she's a female friend], but props on the excel spreadsheet to figure your bracket. you are such an accountant!

Bruce: You or your friends know Excel? 'Cause, here's my one-celled spreadsheet: =ROUND(RAND(),0) That's it! Press F9 repeatedly to choose winners. 0 = top of bracket, 1= bottom of bracket.

You had to be there, I guess.

Ha, watch Big Willis 16 say, "That's why we don't have 1,000 posts on a March Madness thread these days!"

molarmite · 03-18-2010, 07:05 PM

March Madness on Demand has been spotty at best so far today.

Such a fun day to watch. As long as I am not watching my bracket.

molarmite · 03-18-2010, 11:34 PM

Stupid Georgetown, ruining everything. Now I gotta hope Texas can hold on.

molarmite · 03-18-2010, 11:38 PM

Stupid Texas. I should probabl refrain rooting for New Mexico here but I am, let's salvage this day.

pfreek11 · 03-19-2010, 10:56 AM

Georgetown hurt me, but I'm hoping it hurt plenty of other people as well. I did pretty well with the other games.

My final four is Kansas, Kansas State, W. Virginia, and Villanova, with Kansas winning it all. I only entered one bracket this year, so we'll see what happens.

Georgetown hurt me as well. I am currently sitting at 1,888 on ESPN rankings. But I will fall badly over the next rounds because I had Georgetown in the final four. D'oh!

turdfurgeson · 03-19-2010, 09:13 PM

Go Zags. I know many people are probably sick of them, but since I grew up in Spokane I cannot help but root for them. I was lucky enough as a kid to go to the games when they sucked and the gym was half full, and my YMCA team got to play exhibition games during halftime.

GCCWolverine · 03-20-2010, 10:16 AM

I had a pretty good first round - 25 right. The only team I lost going beyond the second was Notre Dame, but I had them in the elite 8. Today, I need St. Mary's, Old Dominion (I don't have them, but it'll screw up the people who have Baylor), Tennessee, and BYU to come through.

MorseMoose · 03-20-2010, 06:54 PM

Brackets all over the country = BUSTED!

MorseMoose · 03-20-2010, 06:58 PM

If basketball was always like the last three days, I'd watch it a heck of a lot more. WOW!!

Erik W. · 03-20-2010, 07:02 PM

And boom goes the dynamite!

This year's tournament has a lot less chalk than last year's already. I'm loving it.

Villanova AND Kansas?

Time to move onto the baseball season, methinks. Sympathies on your brackets (what little is left of them)

turdfurgeson · 03-20-2010, 07:10 PM

11 of the 15 teams in my pool had Kansas winning it all. One had georgetown, one duke, one syrucuse and one gonzaga.
