It feels like being back at PSU
and getting my test results back via e-mail.
****
In your class 50% scored above you. 22% scored below. 28% scored the same as you.
You rank: 3592939 in your class.

Still, no Sweet 16’s were lost, I’ll give it a B+.
luckily when I went there was no email yet.
This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi; you're my only hope.
My freshman year I somehow was assigned
to the special geek floor in Beaver Hall. We were SOOO lucky to be the only dorm floor on the whole campus to have acces to the VAX via some slamming awesome VT100 terminals issued by the Dharma Initiative. All the other schmucks on campus had to pilgrimage to computer labs.
No e-mail, but there were some fabulous message boards. Hard to believe that wasn’t that long ago.

Whoever's still perfect
Just know that I hate you. Excuse me while I use the remnants of my brackets to paper mache’ a pinata that I can then beat the tar out of.
John Madden told me 90% of the game was half-mental...

13 of 16
Not bad, but I have a Sweet 16 team out (Illinois; yes, I know it was a mistake to rely on a team that is capable of going freezing cold at any time, although it was actually WKU catching fire from outside that made the difference).
Hmmm, maybe picking Michigan State vs Purdue in the Final Four wasn't such a good idea
I bleed Blue and White.
Halftime all around
Two of my upset picks for the day (Utah State, NDSU) trailing, and my toss-up pick (Oklahoma State) up.
Me too

Woodside just carving up Kansas
Unfortunately, Sherron Collins is doing the same to NDSU. Woodside at the line on an and-1, down 4, 12 minutes.
Collins vs. Woodside
Are there even other players on the floor? These guys are killing everyone else.
by Tailgate Shogun on Mar 20, 2009 2:07 PM EDT reply actions
Aldrich for KU
has made some useful contributions. Otherwise, no. Kansas absolutely cannot stop Woodside – a lane opens up for him just about every time and he gets fouled.
wtf is goingon in that picture?
I imagine the beads and beers (and maybe even the hands at the edges of the screen) are photoshopped in, but I still have no idea what or why.

I can't pick them
They are clones of Iowa with their boring-ass play so I refused to pick them to win any game.
I thought Smith made that
Looked good halfway there
Tennessee sucks
Can’t believe I picked them

Great Marquette
Almost a turnover, follow by a bank 3 for Utah State. Great luck. I’m telling you Utah State is the evil twin of Iowa

That's exactly why I went against UT and picked Okie State!

Dude
Those refs were so bad they couldn’t hand the game to any team if they tried.

The SEC
Where are all the article talking about how bad the SEC sucks in basketball this year? I probably read a dozen articles about the Big Ten’s crapiness, but haven’t seen one on the SEC yet. If not for LSU barely getting past Butler the SEC would be at home watching right now. And I bet MSU could go to the final four and Michigan could go to the sweet 16 and all we’ll hear about is Minnesota and Illinois losing in the first round and Purdue barely getting past Northern Iowa.
Mike
Black Shoe Diaries
Outside Kentucky, and maybe Tennessee and Florida, nobody in the SEC gives a damn about basketball. The Big Ten does. If they wrote about the SEC sucking, the reaction would be “duh, who cares?”
Also, most sportswriters seem to be incapable of doing more than reading the boxscores and saying “97-93 [Florida-SoCar]? Those teams must be awesome! 54-42 [MSU-Michigan]? They suck!”
There was plenty of SEC bashing
I swear ESPN could not have a CBB segment the last 2 weeks without someone saying the MWC was better and the SEC should only get 2 bids. It was there.
Another part of it
The Big Ten bashing probably got amplified by the fact that we were in a position to get so many teams in. It was obvious the SEC was going to get far fewer than the ACC or Big East, but the Big Ten getting just as many (to idiot sportswriters who think # of bids is an exact measure of conference strength) was unthinkable.
Yeah, I count myself lucky so far
All my Sweet Sixteen picks are intact.

2 for 4
USU fell just short, and NDSU had no answer for Aldrich inside and couldn’t get enough help from Woodside’s supporting cast.
Hey, 3/4 ain't bad.
Tennessee screwed me. It’s all Phillip Fulmer’s fault. Good thing they fired him!
Phil had nothing to do with it!!!!!!!!!!
It’s Ty Willingham’s fault and I don’t care if he never coached at UT!
To be honest for a moment
I only care about Penn State guys. I could care less about our so called Big Ten bretheren.
Actually
I had Pitt losing to Xavier anyway so whatevs.
But still… I would gladly lose my wager on my one paid bracket to see Pitt lose in this round.
I would burn mine while smiling and laughing like a maniac.

Gotta get WVU on a roll
Everytime I see a shot of Huggins, I think “how the hell did he get a head coaching job”, then I remember, it’s WVU!
Mizzou
Apparently they don’t realize that if the press gets broken, you should … you know, guard someone instead of letting Cornell rain wide-open threes.
Mizzou
is either poorly coached or has players with less than average intelligence. I’m convinced of this after having seen them a few times.
Unfair comparison?
Are they really “less than average” in intelligence? Or is it because you’re current point of comparison is against an Ivy League school?
…could be both…
"...You know, Reemer, someday I'm gonna own a big sports bar."
When we used to drink beer at PSU, we used to sing
High above Cayuga’s waters
There’s an awful smell,
Some say it’s Cayuga’s waters
Others say Cornell
You think those guys even knew where Boise was before they got seeded there?
Oh yeah, as Phi Kaps we used to sing
I put my hand upon her chest yo ho, yo ho
I put my hand upon her chest yo ho, yo ho
I put my hand upon her chest she said Phi Kap you are the best
Stick it in, stick it out, quit fing about, yo ho yo ho yo ho
What that has to do with Pitt? Nothing but it was a good time nonetheless. ;-)
please please please
I would love to claim that PSU had as many NCAA tournament wins this year as #1 seed Pitt.
And to also laugh at the first 1 seed ever to lose in the first round.
Please please please.

Fun to read the Pitt Blogs right now
They’re really giving up on the Pantheroos. They did have like 14 turn overs in the 1st half.

Here's a good comment from their blog
“And if I see Blair get the ball in the post and bend over like he’s expecting some back-door action instead of going up straight and strong, I’m going to find some small animal to obliterate!”
It’s not even as if a close score at halftime is unprecedented for a 1-16 game, even for teams that have gone on to do well. If Pitt doesn’t put them away in the second, they should be worried.
NOW it's panic time for Pitt
When you’re giving up twice as many offensive rebounds as you get to ETSU, and rebounding is supposed to be the strength of your team, something is wrong.
I'd happily throw away my bracket as well
Where’s Horse n Buggy? We need his assistance. I’m at work and I can’t see pics so I wouldn’t mind one big if Pitt crapped their pants! :-)

"...You know, Reemer, someday I'm gonna own a big sports bar."
From Pitt Blather
“I don’t know how a program would recover from being the first to lose to a 16 seed. I don’t want to find out.”
Pitt should have been called for a travel
"Breaststroke, free style," Rubin said of his technique, "Let’s see Phelps do that one."
My coworkers probably think I'm drunk right now
I’m giggling like a like kid right now! Does East Tenn. State have a site? We need to truly join their bandwagon!!
Oh yeah, ETSU has PSU ties because there’s where we hired Ed away from.
C'mon Dayton
Looks like the Big East is in the midst of a major choke job this afternoon.

Would KO another Sweet 16 for me
But if it makes the road easier for MSU (and I fear WVU at least as much as Kansas), I’m all for it.
I think you guys may be in a dogfight
If BC wins too. They can slow the game down with their boring high-post flex offense, and they are pretty tough inside. Not as tough as MSU, but still rebound well.
More worried about USC
and Floyd’s junk D. Teams that play BC’s style haven’t been a problem, and BC actually is a terrible defensive rebounding team (just really good on the offensive glass).
Sorry Temple
I feel bad picking against my grad school, but I have ASU in the Elite 8
Nothing serious for me
I had Temple winning, but losing to Syracuse in the next round. So as long as the Orange advance I’m ok.

Amazing
Not a good sign for Pitt even if they win. Blair is playing awesome and they are still only up 2.
No foul?
ETSU shooter gets a Pitt defender in the air and shoots. That’s a foul pretty much every time, not called here.
Please WVU
Why did I pick a Bob Huggins team to go to the Sweet 16? So stupid.
Moral of the story:
Hahahaha, Pitt sucks.
See yall later.
"Breaststroke, free style," Rubin said of his technique, "Let’s see Phelps do that one."
WVU sucks, too.
But that’s a better loss for me than Pitt. I had Kansas next round anyway. Hope they can beat the big D.
This day keeps getting worse
It’s only a matter of time until I start losing Sweet Sixteen teams.

My word, the comments at Pitt Blather are hillarious
"Breaststroke, free style," Rubin said of his technique, "Let’s see Phelps do that one."
Ann: Because we are who they thought we were. A team that doesn’t take people seriously because we reached #1, so we must be the best ever. If losing to WEST VIRGINIA didn’t piss us off enough, then what will?

"...You know, Reemer, someday I'm gonna own a big sports bar."
Only one Sweet 16 team dead for me
which is really surprising. Usually I’m down at least 3 by this point. The only game with an impact past this round is MSU/RMU.

Utah hurt me. I had them going to the sweet 16. But I’m perfect in the Western bracket right now.

Perspectives on Marriage
When I was married 25 years, I took a look at my wife one day and said, "Honey,
25 years ago, we had a cheap apartment, a cheap car, slept on a sofa bed and
watched a 10 inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot
25 year old Redhead.
…Now, we have a nice house, nice car, big bed, and 55" plasma screen TV, but
I’m sleeping with a 50 year old woman. It seems to me that you are not holding
up your side of things."
My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 25 year
old Redhead, and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a
cheap apartment, driving a cheap car, sleeping on a sofa bed.
Aren’t older women great. They really know how to solve your mid-life crises….

Bah
I was hoping for one more home game. Not that I’d be able to make the trip up to State midweek, but it would have been nice to get a team with a reputation/name into the BJC one last time this season. A name like Miami would’ve been a nice draw, but so it goes.
Should be an interesting game next Tuesday.

You didn't use some sort of cyber space white-out did you?
That might have been the pick of the tourney! But, if you’re insane enough to pick Cleveland St. (they didn’t sneak LeBron in ,did they?), you probably made some “insane” other picks which turned out bad!

Good thing FSU doesn't get out of the second round
in my brackets.
However, this keeps alive my “long shot” bracket – nothing like my Marquette v Wisconsin final.

Siena with the three!
What a way to end the first round of games!

Man, an hour ago I was 1win and 3 losses
I got out of the late games 3-1 but the one was Wake which kills me for the next few rounds. I would have traded Wake for Siena or even Wisky. Confuscious said “he that lives by the sword….gets shot by those who live by the gun!”
Talk to ya’all tomorrow!
