March Madness

[buff81]

Gotta love this time of year!
Who's your favorite team to make it to the Final Four?
Myself - pulling for the Blue Devils. Became a Duke fan after living in Raleigh for several years. Plus - Coach K IS a West Point grad. :thumb:

I favor the United States military over the Colonel's band of mercenaries. :shake:

[buff81]

I think all of us here will be in favor of 'that' team winning! :wink:

[tonk002]

Im pulling for the Butler Bulldogs. You can't beat basketball from the Hoosier State.

May a mom jump in and say VCU!!!! Go Rams! I like an underdog!

How about Richmond....I didn't see that one coming. And GMU expected to go a little further.

[Bullet]

Actually, the best quote I heard all weekend: the Big East has as many teams that made it to the Sweet 16 as the city of Richmond. Great for VCU and Richmond. Even better, in that I couldn't stand the Big East fans this year!

Bullet, thank GOD my true identity is hidden here....VCU is my undergrad and my husbands GRAD and I let a "friend" from work (a GUY) select my bracket b/c I could not get my picks in on time and he did NOT pick VCU in my bracket! So hmmm, do I route for my $$ payout or for my Alma Mater? Just kidding! My AM, of course!:thumb:

I meant he did not pick VCU to end up the Final Four, just to clarify!

:shake::biggrin::shake::biggrin::yay::rofl:

[Dixieland]

I will pull for the underdog when it becomes apparent who that is but for right now, I'm pulling for anyone who plays against Duke or UNC-Chapel Hill! Can't stand them or their fans! :thumbdown:

Yes, it's sour grapes because my alma mater finished at the bottom of the ACC. :stretcher:

Or as Charles Barkley called them...the Itty Bitty East!

[LineInTheSand]

Oh is basketball being played right now? I was too busy watching hockey to notice! :thumb:

It's all relative....everthing looks smaller to Charles Barkley these days, compared to Charles Barkley.

Dear Duke,
NOOOOOOOO!!!!!! :bang: :eek: :confused: :frown:

Ok - my new team is now Bulter.

[Dixieland]

Bye-bye, Dook! :yllol:

:guns4: Carolina, you're next! Marquette has your number! :wave:

Go, Underdog U. (whoever you are)!

[HMQ]

Well we have a happy household this morning - husband is a U of Arizona alum! and Barkley called it!!! :wink:

[flieger83]

Dear Duke,
NOOOOOOOO!!!!!! :bang: :eek: :confused: :frown:

They have College basketball east of the Mississippi? I didn't know that! (says the ACC Alum) :biggrin:

[AF6872]

Hope Arizona shot their bolt against Duke. It was an amazing game. They deserve the accolades. Next up UCONN on and amazing run in the Big East and NCAA. Can they keep it up?

For the women: I hope the bracket works out and UCONN V Tenessee. That will be a big one and worth watching if you have been following the fights back and forth.

[vamom]

GO UR and VCU!!! Esp. VCU!!!

[vamom]

As we say in the south, git er done!

[SamKrak]

Noooooo Wisconsinnnnnn :frown: They were my surprise team :P

Ah well, still got OSU and KU in the championship, so im not out yet!

The Buckeyes lost last night. They're out.

[momof5]

The Buckeyes lost last night. They're out.

We are from Northwest Ohio.....Bummer on the Buckeyes!:frown: What a game last night. Stayed up way to late, just couldn't get to sleep.

Go Jayhawks! I actually had Ohio State playing them in the Championship too and Ohio to win it all! Now that my bracket is completely shot, :eek:
I will route for my #2!

Let's see what happens, definately March Madness with the NCAA and USAFA!!!!

[tonk002]

Butler does it again! I guess it pays to have a coach that looks like he is 5.

[buff81]

Butler does it again!
Yay!!! :yay::yay: and that's coming from a SEC fan (who doesn't particularly like FL)

I guess it pays to have a coach that looks like he is 5.
:shake:
Now that's a new way to pick teams.
Some pick based on strength, seed of team (boring)
Some pick based on mascot.
Some pick based on team colors.
Age of team coach could be a new consideration in picking winners.

Tomorrow -
Pulling for VCU. I like the underdog and the idea of a double digit seed making it to the Final Four.
and
At risk of encountering the wrath of Dixieland ( :hammer: :stretcher:) - I pick UNC over Kentucky. :wink:

[dhawbaker]

Arizona All the Way!

I always route for PAC 10 teams. They tend to get overlooked way too often, and the Big East always gets all the attention.

[dhawbaker]

Of course, now that I posted that, I realized that Arizona played UCONN tonight and lost... :frown:

I guess I have to cheer for VCU now.

Who couldn't cheer for a coach named Shaka? Go Rams!

Oh, Buff, you disappoint me. It's bad enough that you pulled for Dook but now you are for the Tar Heels too? Oh, the shame of it all!:frown:

[SamKrak]

How is VCU in the final four? haha good for them!

Go Rams!

And to think the Kansas team was ranked #1. :wink:
