Title: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: Paelos on March 17, 2008, 02:00:23 PM Yeah it's that time again. Let's talk about who you like and who you hate.
Personally, my Georgia Bulldogs pulled off the biggest SEC tournament miracle ever by going from dead last to winning the whole thing. I'm going to be rooting hard for them as a 14 seed against Xavier in the first round. Honestly though, outside of Georgia, I don't care who wins as long as it's NOT UNC. I'm tired of listening to every EPSN analyst suck Tyler Hansbro's cock publically every game. "HE SCORED A BUCKET, OMG MVP BABEEEEEEEEEEY" Also, if you want to join the Yahoo F13 Pickem bracket so you can prove you know everything about college basketball, the thread is here: http://forums.f13.net/index.php?topic=12535.0 (http://forums.f13.net/index.php?topic=12535.0). Make sure you sign up and make your picks by Thursday before the tipoff of the first games. Otherwise, you can't play. Let's hear what yall think. Who's the best team in the land? Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: cmlancas on March 18, 2008, 06:05:33 AM I always think that Duke has a shot. They're generally a lock to make it to the sweet sixteen, if I remember my old brackets right.
Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: caladein on March 19, 2008, 06:01:56 AM Duke's going to have trouble with either West Virginia or Arizona for the second round. Outside of that though, I think UCLA's got one of the easier routes to the Final Four, so I'm not too worried just yet.
Two injuries coming out of the PAC-10 tournament though :ye_gods:. Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: Rasix on March 19, 2008, 12:43:08 PM I really want to see Arizona play Duke. Talented team that has vastly underachieved all year. ASU got robbed, and that's hard to say as a UofA alum.
Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: WayAbvPar on March 19, 2008, 01:04:53 PM This is usually my favorite time of year. This year, however, I just can't get myself to care. I usually have 10 brackets filled out by now. I have yet to even look at the brackets yet this year.
Is it something to do with the media coverage this year? Has there been less? It may just be a brain tumor.

Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: cmlancas on March 20, 2008, 09:17:55 AM UNC loses to Duke in the championship, 76-74. Kryzewski still remains the greatest coach in college basketball history still coaching today.

They are the Musketeers or Musketmen or something. Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: Abagadro on March 20, 2008, 12:23:37 PM Always fun when one of your picks scores 10 points in the entire first half. Way to go Kent State!
Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: Merusk on March 20, 2008, 12:38:34 PM Xavier is the Musketeers. They're local and now that UC sucks ass they're all I hear about.. unless UK is doing good. :awesome_for_real:

Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: Hoax on March 20, 2008, 01:12:47 PM Kansas over Texas.
FF = UNC, Kansas, Texas, Duke. Duke is a bad pick but every time I pick against them they go deep so expect them to get dropped possibly even before they play UCLA. Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: Paelos on March 20, 2008, 01:20:09 PM Paelos, what happened to UGA at the end of that game? :ye_gods: The shine wore off and the team that went 4-12 in the SEC showed up. The reason UGA lost so many games is because they faded at the end all the time, or they got simply outclassed and never showed up. Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: Abagadro on March 20, 2008, 02:01:36 PM I always love seeing Kentucky go down. Bye bye!
Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: WayAbvPar on March 20, 2008, 02:25:16 PM I always love seeing I felt obligated. Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: Abagadro on March 20, 2008, 05:58:24 PM Duke losing to Belmont would have been so sweet. Oh well, I don't think the dukies are long for this tourney.
Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: Paelos on March 20, 2008, 07:13:24 PM Lollerskates at the USC Trojans losing to Kansas State. ESPN talked all year about how fucking awesome the PAC-10 is this year in basketball. I don't think any PAC-10 team will see the Elite 8.
Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: WayAbvPar on March 21, 2008, 07:30:50 AM Lollerskates at the USC Trojans losing to Kansas State. ESPN talked all year about how fucking awesome the PAC-10 is this year in basketball. I don't think any PAC-10 team will see the Elite 8. UCLA or Stanford should get that far at least. I loved seeing USC get beat. God I hate them, and OJ Mayo in particular. Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: Paelos on March 21, 2008, 07:52:42 AM I see UCLA getting upset by UCONN if they make it to that matchup. Also, Stanford stands no chance against Texas.
Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: WayAbvPar on March 21, 2008, 08:03:22 AM Texas always shits the bed, have no worries. If UCLA is healthy (big IF), they may be the best team in the country.
Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: Abagadro on March 21, 2008, 03:48:20 PM The lowest seed that UCLA has to beat to get into the Elite 8 is a 9 seed.
Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: Paelos on March 21, 2008, 08:08:37 PM The lowest seed that UCLA has to beat to get into the Elite 8 is a 9 seed. Yeah for some reason I just felt UCONN might fuck it up early, and damned if they didn't. My bracket still holds my final four, but the rest is now shot to shit. Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: Abagadro on March 21, 2008, 08:30:36 PM Your SEC honkness really hurt you.
Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: Abagadro on March 21, 2008, 09:17:07 PM My Big East honkness unfortunately did not include Villanova because I hate them with the burning passion of a thousand suns.
Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: Paelos on March 21, 2008, 09:48:26 PM Your SEC honkness really hurt you. Yes, we are epic fail at basketball with usually one glaring exception. Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: Paelos on March 22, 2008, 12:56:08 PM Duke's toast. If Texas gets out, I can kiss my bracket totally goodbye. I think we've proven that I know NCAA football much better than NCAA basketball.
Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: Abagadro on March 23, 2008, 01:34:35 PM It's ridiculous to give up a 17 point 2nd half lead but there had to be some fucking memo sent out to allow Curry to get away with murder.
Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: Paelos on March 23, 2008, 04:01:36 PM Arkansas is gonna lose to UNC by 30+ in probably the biggest margin of the tournament. Tennessee barely escaped in OT against Butler.
The SEC is on the ropes in this tournament. Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: Raging Turtle on March 23, 2008, 04:35:37 PM I enjoy blinding rooting for my college team after barely paying attention during the regular season.
In that spirit, GO BADGERS!!! ON WISCONSIN! Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: Triforcer on March 23, 2008, 06:19:07 PM I'm currently winning my office pool, being the only one to nail the Davidson run. My Final Four is intact, but I have Xavier, Louisville and Wisconsin going all the way which is bound to get me hammered.

I feel better about Georgia losing to them if they knock of UCLA. I was wrong about the PAC-10 not making the Elite since UCLA had the easy road, but if Stanford loses to Texas, they will be the only one there. Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: stu on March 30, 2008, 01:40:00 PM #10 Davidson - #1 Kansas is on right now!
Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: Paelos on March 30, 2008, 10:13:24 PM All #1's for the first time ever in the final four. Haemish swept our pool by far.
Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: caladein on March 31, 2008, 12:25:36 AM Memphis pretty much roflstomping their way to the FF when they were picked as the most likely #1 to not make it was well worth the beating my bracket took.
Don't know how Kansas is going to come out after surviving Davidson in a sub-60 win, especially against UNC, but it should be a couple of good games. Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: WayAbvPar on March 31, 2008, 08:45:04 AM Arrrgh. Why didn't Davidson just run an inside/outside option play? Make Kansas defend a deuce and a 3!!!! They so should have won that game.
All across America, non-sports fans are cashing in on the office pools that someone forced them to fill out. #1 x4- wow. Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: HaemishM on March 31, 2008, 09:45:12 AM All #1's for the first time ever in the final four. Haemish swept our pool by far. Phear my picks of total ignorance. Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: Paelos on March 31, 2008, 01:25:38 PM I hope Memphis goes all the way now, because I can't stand UNC due to all the ESPN cocksucking they get, and I hate UCLA due to the Pac-10 hate.
Kansas would be fine as well, but really random. Title: Re: Official March Madness 2008 Thread Post by: Abagadro on March 31, 2008, 05:20:59 PM Hey, that pool isn't over yet. Using the scenario generator it is still up for grabs.
