March Madness

[Mirafan]

Thanks everyone!

I don't know how often I can post here, but I'll make an effort. And just in case you're wondering, <font color=blue>Ivana</font> and I are still doing great. You'll be hearing from her real soon.

Let me know what's up with the features on this site. I'm as newbie as you can get.

WOOHOOO Welcome Home Mirafan (grins)

I have Xavier over Notre Dame. Also have UCLA losing to Hofstra (grins) My parents are not happy with me (they go to the UCLA games)

[ProfCrash]

This is why I love the Tournament. Iowa State, a 2 seed, lost to a 15 seed in Hampton. OK, so the Big 10 sucked it up with Wisconsin, Indiana, and Ohio State losing in the first round. Yesterdays games were pretty much all close (excpet the 1 seeds pummeling the 16 seeds which was expected.) Kentucky, UCLA, and Maryland barely survived.

This is the life. Upsets, close calls, and lots of fun

Oh, happy day!! Kent takes out Indiana! The ending of the Hampton upset of Iowa State was tremendous. I think I'll always remember one of the players lifting the coach with a bear hug around his middle, as the coach pumped arms and legs in jubilation. That is what is so cool. Only thing cooler would be if a team like Hampton won the whole affair.

And now today, Butler womps Wake Forrest. And the beat goes on.....

Mirafan, guess I have the wrong addy for you.

Aint it great? The ACC is losing big time today (thank god its not just the Big 10)

Temple defeats Texas, Gonzaga defeats Virginaia. can someone explain why the tournament seed Gonzaga as a 12 seed? What about the last two trips to the sweet sixteen made them think Gonzaga could not do it again?

I say let more of the Mid-Majors into the tournament. every year this happens, the Mid Majors are ranked low and then beat the teams in the power conferences. When is the committee going to learn and see that the Mid Majors have what it takes?

[MerleZ]

Excellent point, Crash. Of course the answer is money. More majors mean more fannies in the seats. The committee ought to be embarrassed this year by what has happened thus far. Instead, they are too interested in seeing if they can stop Bob Knight from making some $$$ for filling out a bracket.

Mirafan?? HERE???
Wow...cool.
Iowa state game was pathetic. They were 9-10 points ahead with a couple of minutes left, and they just ran out of gas. I'll admit, though, 1 point games put you on the edge of your seat.
Yeah, watching that coach pump his arms and legs while in the air was fun to watch, too.

Now, to see if Stanford can keep it's act together. It's simply a local area team thing for me, but what the heck. Cal-Berkeley is not too far away, but I'm betting that Cal Fresno puts them away (if they haven't already...no, I haven't looked at a schedule today)

Anyway, good to see both QGOP and Mirafan posting again. Life is good...

[MerleZ]

And another upset. Indiana State will play Gonzaga for a trip to the Sweet 16, guaranteeing at least one Cinderella.

Now, would you really want to be Florida, and have to face Temple in the next round? And how about North Carolina. I know Princeton hasn't had the same success they had a few years ago, but they are still maddenning to play againts. Hehehe, this is so much fun!

And QGOP, sorry I forgot to mention how nice it is to see you posting again.

QueenGop, I lost interest in the XFL after the first few games. The cheerleaders were too over the top, as you said and the rules kept changing so fast that I coudn't keep up with them.
