Triston, wow, that’s a great number. Nice work.

Speaking of history, when was the last time Duke got out of the round of 16?

Villanova has something going on underneath the surface. They look beatable.

Baylor’s playing really good ball with really good players. I guess that’s why I picked them, but I’m probably overthinking things and should have written Duke in. [...]

Ag in TX, have you watched them play?

Exactly, HipHop. It’s a brand recognition issue.

That’s a truckload of pressure. Maybe they have it. Maybe Scott Drew is the man. I just wouldn’t bet my house on it. But I’d love to see it.

I started watching the NCAA tournament in 1997 or 1998 and in 1998, Valpo’s incredible run to the sweet 16 hooked me for life. Since then, I’ve completely ruined a spring break cruise because, let’s face it, the NCAA tournament is way better than sitting by a pool. Now I fully intend to crush my [...]

Why? Three seeds make it all the time? Put them in a bracket with the weakest 1 seed and one of the weaker 2 seeds and they have a great shot. Especially with two games in Houston.

“Sometimes, I watch the 4th quarter of the title game.”

The best is when it’s tied at the end of regulation, and they have a shoot-out. And if they’re still tied at the end of that, they play an extra 18 holes the next day. “Extra innings” is what they [...]

Fire Bob Wetlick!

From the perspective of designing a tournament that will efficiently crown the best team as “champion,” expansion is ludicrous. Over the 25-year history of the 64-team field, the statistics clearly show that the tournament is already bloated beyond need. For instance:

Only 6.5% of teams participating in the Elite Eight round are seeded lower [...]

Fire Bob Wetlick!

Dude, Baylor to the Final Four? I just don’t see it.

Bradford has plenty of arm strength. He’s not Stafford in that department, but he throws darts, or bb’s, or whatever small object one uses to describe zip.

Of all the attributes you look for in a QB, intelligence has to be the most important. Not the Wonderlic type, the improvisational type. He’s got that. If he [...]

theoretically, what’s the rotation for the next 4 games?
Tonight – Dicharry
Friday – Jungmann
Sat – ??
Sun – ??

Layla? But, I thought Lane Kiffin was the Sexiest Woman Alive.

The weather in Houston might screw with the rotation. I was gonna go tonight, probably not now. Lookin like rains a comin.

How certain is it that Friday’s pitcher will be Taylor?

West Virginny and Ohio State look like great values.

Very cool. I guess magnusbleuballer was already taken?

Take a deep breath. Especially those of you that have penciled in Syracuse, Kansas, Kentucky, and Duke into your final four.

Let’s take a step back and analyze the South bracket a little deeper than, say, just handing it over to a club that may be the weakest 1 seed in the tournament, and not [...]

I have a hard time taking anything a dirty recruit or his shitty dirty father says seriously. They knew all along that USC was under investigation. What these dumbasses didn’t know was that they couldn’t sign an LOI without having taking the ACT or SAT. The holding off of the signing, after planning to sign [...]

Whiskey,

Though I have every reason as an OU alum to hate the Golden Domers, the truth is that I have way too much respect for that program. They’ve stuck to their guns, come hell or high water.

That said, MIRuss is 100% correct, and OU is living proof. People think strength of [...]

walleyworld,

The last I read jack was being recruited by Arizona the hardest and I believe he is leaning in that direction.

Ouch. This is true.
