16. I have many good ones behind me, too! But forward is the way I'm looking.

Thanks, you Lounge favorite, you!

[rurallib]

14. Happy birthday!

I would say there are 5 really good teams and a whole bunch that are good but just don't have that extra oomph.
One may catch fire, but I doubt it.

[jobycom]

17. As far as fires go,

I think Texas is more likely to crash and burn than to set anything ablaze! Who knows, though, they should at least make it to the Tortuous Thirty-Two (or whatever it's called)--where Duke will promptly slaughter them. :)

The good news is I went to Miss State before Texas, so I've got some hope for having a dog in the hunt up to eight, or even four. I'd be shocked, but I've already been shocked by them this year.

[Forkboy]

19. Happy B-Day!!!

Doubts and insecurities aside, I hope it's a good one. :party: :toast:

21. The d & b's are for basketball, only!

:) Thanks!

[trof]

20. That's a lot of candles. But I got more.

Happy Birthday, feller.
;-)

[jobycom]

22. I'm hoping to collect a whole mess more before I run out.

Thank you, kind sir.

[trof]

23. It's a universal desire.

:-)

[jobycom]

24. Suppose so, but the way some people complain, you'd think living was a bad thing.

:)

[SalmonChantedEvening]

25. Happy Birthday jobycom :)

Best of luck to the 'Horns

I'll hafta root against them if they play Temple or Villanova.

:hi: :hug: :toast:

[jobycom]

27. Heh.

If they played Temple or Villanova, I'd already so far beyond shocked that I'd consider them the Tournie Champs! They'd have to beat Duke to play Villa, and they'd have to make the FF to meet Temple. I think we're safe on conflicts of interest this time around. :rofl:

[Critters2]

26. Happy Birthday!

30. First off, Happy Birthday!

Second, I'm with you. How is Texas a 7 and Okie State an 8 while A&M is a 9? Signed, Stumped in the Seattle 'Burbs.

[jobycom]

34. We're Texas!

Just because we lost to the Aggies, had a worse record, lower Big 12 ranking, and a lower national ranking, are no reasons for us not to be higher seeded than them.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with Austin being a bigger market or Abrams a bigger draw. That would imply the NCAA cared about financial gain. :scared:

[dana_b]

31. see?? it's not all bad!

btw, I'll be 44 in two days. B-) Happy birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jobycom]

35. Never said it was. Happy early B-Day to you, too.

I'll try to catch you on your birthday, too, but might as well be safe now. :)
