Mine is going rather well, just not "rather well" enough. I'm in a tough league. How tough, you ask? I'm tied for 30th because, yesterday, I got 14 out of 16 games correct. Yeeeowch!

There were guys on Yahoo! that got all sixteen games right. I only got eleven. Blast you, Syracuse. You play well in the Big East tournament and then you botch it in the big dance. ARRRRRGGGGGLLLBLBLBLBLBLLLBBL!!

Given the sheer number of brackets done on yahoo, that's believable. Basic probability says that it should happen.

As for my bracket, I'm lookin forward to round 3... If things work out like I've got them, Kevin, I think you'll be joining me in saying "GEAUX TIGERS!"..

My bracket is a total mess. I guessed wrong on 3 out of 4 of my 5-12 matches. I got 11 of 16 so far. However, it will look worse later on as neither Nevada or Syracuse will be in the sweet 16.

If Albany wins, me and StrongRad will throw a giant UK party, and you're all invited.

Speak for yourself, there, bub. I'm headin down to Mobile Sunday, so I have a lot to do before then. :-(

That Iowa loss really messed up my bracket, BUT I was cheering as loud as anyone else in that particular sports bar (you gotta love a boss/advisor that more or less gives you the day off during the first two days of the NCAA tourney).

Aww... The 16 couldn't pull it off... Oh well, it woulda messed my bracket up horribly.

I love the sportsmanship at the end of that game. EVERYONE should learn from that.

Well, if Albany can put up a fight, I'm sure we can. I'm still optimistic about our chances.

How does Bradley get to the Sweet Sixteen? My bracket's over.

George Mason better not win either, cuz' this 13 seeds making the Sweet Sixteen is gonna make me commit a murder...but I shouldn't tell you stories like that.

Yeah, UK's down, but it's UConn. Cut us some slack.

Yeah... mines a little hurt too. :) I don't know many people who would have picked Tennessee and Ohio State to both lose second round. Yuck.

If you want to check what's left of mine, here's a link:

Yep, I'm horrible as usual... every year I stink to high heaven with my picks.

Though I do still have 5 of my Elite 8 and 3 of my Final 4, I only have 7 of my Sweet 16 still around.

Ouch.

George Mason killed my bracket. Wichita State killed my bracket. UConn killed my bracket. Not really, they just killed my hopes.

Don't forget that UAB sent Kentucky packing a few years ago.

Exactly, BTG. That was a few years ago. What happened "last year" means nothing in college basketball.

Yeah, but you were a #1 seed right? And they were an 9 seed? Number 1 seeds aren't allowed to lose until atleast the Sweet Sixteen. :p

I see you have Boston College going pretty far. That's good.

Now, I dislike basketball, and I really don't like March Madness, but I can still fiegn support for my Massachusetts team.

...Right?

When I said duke sucks I didn't really mean it. Crap. That's gonna cost me a few hundred points..... at least.

I find it hilarious that Duke lost. Not only because I know they've been winning it a lot, but because I know it screwed up people's brackets like crazy.

:P
