VandyDelphia Mike Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I lost more games in round 2 (9-7) than I did in round 1 (26-6). You figure it out.6 of my elite 8 are still alive. Villanova and Wisconsin, thanks for nothing.And my beloved Commodores, as a 6 seed, are the lowest remaining seed left in the sweet 16. One of those ESPN schmucks (either Andy Katz or Doug Gottlieb) insisted that Vandy was overseeded. So much for that argument ...UNLV says hello.Duly noted. My Vanderbilt education did not kick in on the first post.I still maintain my beliefs on the ESPN blowhards.

rainmaker17 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Texas youth and lack of big game experience absolutely showed up today. I had no delusions of grandeur about the Longhorns, but I thought they might go a step or two further. Congrats SC.I don't think UT is Durant and a bunch of nobodies, allthough it looked like it today. A.J. Abrams is a solid player and D.J. Augustin is a stud in his own right (except today). Durant's likely exodus to the NBA will be hell to overcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harperdc Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 ah, my bracket is shredded. Thanks UT!at least it was by a Pac-10 team. the warm embrace of homerism (11/11, 7/7 3pt, 32 pts, BRYCE TAYLOR IS A MAN, suck it Trojans) is the only thing giving me solace right now. Let me enjoy the moment., speaking of which, Digger Phelps, keep disrespecting Oregon (first picking Winthrop, now thinking UNLV can BEAT US AT OUR OWN GAME); we'll just keep on winning. I think I can live with that as a pattern of events. Fear Tajuan Porter's screwed up left ear AND his three ball, Runnin' Rebs fans. You'll learn to hate both rather quickly.

OB33 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 UNLV and SIU to the Elite 8, you heard it here first folks! If not, then I pretty much fall back in line with everyone else. #CHOMPCHOMPCHOMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB61 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 And somehow, someway, I'm in first after the first weekend.Texas is out, but 3 of my Final Four are in. Usually when I'm in a situation like this, I manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.Meanwhile, in my money pool, I'm in 4th out of 42 after the weekend. Winning money would be nice.

Fred T. Jane Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I woke up this morning and found that the pen I had use to fill out my brackets at work had hung itself. It didn't leave a note, but I suspect Kevin Durant would have been mentioned several times if it had. [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

lilgump Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Ya, so my hunch that durant could take texas to the champ. game didnt workout well. I think i got 10 outta 16 teams right.... ouch.Next year though, Ill have the perfect bracket to make up for it. The World Basketball Championship, the Davis Cup, Ryder Cup, Iraq: Every day there's further proof that we, as a nation, are not very good at international competition.

Broken Record Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 50% of the teams in the SEC East are in the Sweet 16. That's pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ez Street Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Well I have Florida in all my Brackets. To be the man you gotta beat the man.I do think Kansas is playing above everyone else right now. I'm not being a homer.Unlike most Kansas fans, I can look at the team objectively. Most KU fans are arrogant & obnoxious........Cue yh. @DavidStreeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty impressive.The SEC East's 5th-place team had the same record as the 1st-place team in the SEC West.Had Georgia beaten Florida in the SEC Tournament, all the SEC's reps would have come from the Eastern Division, with Georgia taking Arkansas' spot.

harperdc Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 w00t - hopefully I'll be around in '09 to catch games at the Rose Garden. That would own. Finally able to host...and in Glendale, is that going to be Univ. of Phoenix Stadium? That'd be kinda weird. Not as weird as Ford Field hosting the final four, though...
