March Madness!

[crixus]

Have you filled out your bracket(s) yet? I have and picked Duke, although Kentucky is the favorite. But I always pick Duke because my Dad taught there when I was a kid. He took me to my first game there as well, and I've been a fan ever since.

Who do you think will win the NCAA Tournament? Enjoy the Madness!

My Tar Heels mad it into the Sweet 16 last evening with an 87-78 win over Arkansas. The entire UNC campus was rocking and partying last night including me until about 4 in the morning. Go Heels!!!!!!

Tar Heels...yuck! Go Blue Devils!

For those of you who don't know, Duke didn't name their team after Satan. They're named after a WW1 French Army unit who helped out our troops. http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=242333

I was in the top 100% before Turday. With Duke and Wisconsin advancing my hopes went out the window!

I picked the Final Four correctly in my Yahoo! ballot. But I didn't get all the other games along the way right, no one does. Picking Kentucky, Duke and Wisconsin to make it to the Final Four was a pretty safe bet. But most people thought Louisville would beat Michigan State. So I did good on that one. But to be honest with you, I pick Duke to win it all every year because I'm a loyal Blue Devils fan.

It's Duke vs Wisconsin in the Final this Monday night. Go Blue Devils!

Ditto!

It was a great but very flawed game, a true nailbiter to the end though.

Both Kentucky and Wisconsin fans have to have ended the season crushed.

Kentucky did not have a perfect season and Wisconsin lost a championship game that they have not been in since they were the 1941 champions.

I love NCAA march madness, the games are quick (two 20 minute quarters) and the stakes are enormous (one chance to progress or be eliminated).

I am a UCLA Bruins and Kansas Jayhawks fan btw.

For football it is USC all the way and for basketball it is UCLA all the way.
