First Round Picks Sure To Go Wrong
I am using my internet bully pulpit to display my bracket publically because I can. I am an anonymous internet god, and you will obey me unlike the real Yahweh/God/deity/Vishnu/Budda/Allah/Jhvh fellow that you pay only pay lip service to, you pox ridden whore, before slinging your sin about the...
__ the Basketball
The basketball is a key element in the game of...basketball My current favorite cliche in announcing is ____ the basketball. Please look for this in the NCAA Tournament, particularly in any game announced by Clark "The Big 10 defines all existence" Kellogg or Dick "I'm now a caricature of a...
President Obama's Bracket
He and Scipio have the same title game. Now I'm going to assume they both agree on Keynesian economic theory, water boarding, and redistribution of wealth. As for the President's bracket, you'll have a hard time finding more conservative picks. In the final 8 he's got 4 one seeds, 3 two seeds,...
NCAA Tournament Regional Ramblings: The East
Let's start our run of barely coherent regional ramblings with the East. It's a Texas blog, so you do the math. The other 3 will follow in short order and also look for a preview of the Minnesota game. You can read Nobel Peace Prize winner John Nash's anaylsis of the tournament here. Dude's...
My Way Too Early Final Four
I played this little game last year when it was called "Who's the best team in country" and I would have been perfect from the final four down to the eventual winner had Chalmers not hit the game tying 3 vs. Memphis as time expired. But my final four was dead on with UCLA, Memphis, Kansas, and...

It Looks Like We Lost To The Best
North Carolina is just simply a step above everyone else. They have steamrolled their way through the tournament, only taking a few naps during the regular season. So at least the Sooners were eliminated from the tournament by what appears to be a team that could probably place about a third to a...
National Championship Open Thread and We Have an SBN Bracket Bonanza Winner
It all comes down to tonight for Michigan State and North Carolina. The Spartans will try to avenge a 35-point defeat back on December 3, when they were experiencing injury and fatigue issues. The Tar Heels will try to win for the second time on the Ford Field court this season, but this time the...
On Monday Night, I'm a Michigan State Fan
On Monday night, I'll be jumping up-and-down. I'll be screaming my lungs out. I'll be cheering on that team in the green uniforms, with State emblazoned across the chest, like I'm a graduate. Hopefully, a lot. You see, it's hard for me to simply watch a game. I have to have a rooting interest....
Final Four Open Thread
The time has come for the National Semifinals. The evening starts with UConn, looking for their third title in ten years, taking on Michigan State, who is the first team to play in a Final Four in their home state since Duke in 1994. The nightcap features Villanova, the first three seed to make...
