3. Never ask me a question when I've been drinking . . .
1) You fell for the hype that a good mid-major school can beat a mediocre Big 10 School (Butler-LSU)

2) You figured at least one 12 Seed would win and you guessed wrong (Purdue-Northern Iowa)

3) You forgot that Mormons can't jump (BYU - Texas A&M)

10. I repeat: Never ask me a question when I've been drinking
PS: If zen was helpful in hoops wouldn't there be a lot more Japanese players in the NBA?

"You fell for the hype that a good mid-major school can beat a mediocre Big 10 School"

Illinois, meet Western Kentucky.

11. It ain't me babe, no, no, no it ain't me babe!

13. I did better too
This is my bracket: http://games.espn.go.com/tcmen/entry?entryID=3002291

Both the president and I missed the Texas A&M/BYU game.

I missed the Texas-Minnesota game.

He missed the UCLA/VCU, Butler/LSU and Clemson/Michigan games that I got.

As to my Final Four: Duke and Maryland are still alive, Kansas and Syracuse haven't played. The president's Final Four are all still in it too.

16. WELL! I am just going to enjoy my current position because no doubt I will NOT
be #1 with a perfect score after tonight. I have never done this well.

Picking Western Kentucky was strictly and totally sentimental on my part, and taking them to the final 4 was even sillier. But we will see.

But don't you think U of L vs Western would be a helluva final game?

The Big Red Towel vs the Big Red Bird.

No Big Blue ...

19.  I picked against the Illini ( I didn't think they had it in em this time)
Edited on Fri Mar-20-09 10:03 AM by tigereye
and I was right. I felt bad since I have always liked them and how scrappy they are.


it worked out well! I'm doing better than I thought, but not as well as Yellow Dog from Texas!
