I think I broke the internet.
I was having all sorts of issues after posting the YouTube clip, so I changed it to the URL instead of Embed code. We have problems when we switch between the HTML and WYSIWYG views when a video is involved.

I've never figured out what makes Z not work
but it always drives me nuts. Sometimes I swear it happens after certain comments, but I have no idea what (like I’ll be able to use Z, I’ll come back to the thread later, and no longer be able to use it).
Z is working for me now, though (not sure about before, when you had that video that crashed BSD for me and gave me that error message)

my bracket has many "anger" picks
where I picked schools that jumped ahead of us to lose games that normally I wouldn’t have picked them for. I think it was a combination of jealousy, anger, and “wtf, you aren’t really that good, so you’ll probably lose this game”
by The JuggerNitt on Mar 19, 2009 12:58 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Same here
I didn’t even pick a 12-5 upset because of anger. Wiscy made no sense, Illinois screams “second round loss”, Purdue might make it to the Elite Eight, and I simply couldn’t pick those Arizona losers to beat Utah.
"Breaststroke, free style," Rubin said of his technique, "Let’s see Phelps do that one."

Wiscy: don’t care
Minny: don’t care
Illinois: I’d like to see them win, just so all the “experts” will be wrong
MSU: don’t care
Michigan: see above
OSU: hope they lose while Brent Musburger cries in the background
Purdue: actually hope they win. They’re kinda my bandwagon team now.

So, Jim Calhoun is out for the weekend?
Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun won’t coach against Chattanooga and might miss a significant part of the remaining NCAA tournament because of health issues, according to two sources familiar with the situation.
The university just confirmed in a release on its website that associate head coach George Blaney would coach Thursday against Chattanooga.
The sources declined to say what exactly was wrong with Calhoun, but cautioned his absence from the tournament might last longer than this weekend. Calhoun was taken to a local hospital.
The Huskies are expected to say more at some point later in the day.
The news is stunning. At his news conference on Wednesday, the two-time national championship coach was jovial and looked fine.
Now the team will have to go at least one game without its coach.

The opposite of pretending not to care about The Record
is trying to convince everyone that your own TA’s reading answers to football players during a test is a flea.

This just occurred to me
You know how they run those studies about how much money companies lose during the first two days of the tournament? This can bode well for the recession, especially as I am doing my part of not doing any work the last hour.

I don't even want to know what would happen

I recall having similar problems last year, but as the tournament progressed it got better (either due to streaming less games, or more people watching on TV and not online, or perhaps just better tech support).

I can't believe this
Normally I can’t get into ESPN to check my bracket online at work. But today it’s letting me through. You think the IT guys are working hard today?
I’m doing well so far. Missed on Butler, but had A&M advancing. Memphis could have been ugly. I have them going to the Elite 8. Not so sure about that anymore.

It will be good to get another glimpse at the future with Cornley out. I think Brooks and Jones will step up big time. I also hope that ED doesn’t take them out and disrupt the flow. I felt like ED did that twice against Mason.
