I don’t even know what to say. I guess this is why they call it March Madness, but I don’t remember a tournament this exciting in a long, long time. I wasn’t one of those people glued to the TV from Thursday at noon to Sunday night, but I saw plenty. I think Cole Aldrich pretty much sums up how I feel about my bracket.
I mean what didn’t happen this weekend? First Man Up goes to the Georgetown Hoyas.
Is there a team in the tournament who wasted their potential more than the Georgetown Hoyas? Sure, they were streaky this year, but a 3 seed losing to a 14 seed? Losing to Ohio with all that talent. Now I love JTIII as much as the next man, but he clearly didn’t know how to get these boys ready. Ohio and Tennessee were supposed to be the soft part of this bracket before they had to sack up and battle Ohio State and Kansas for the Midwest bracket, but now they are sitting at home while a 2, a 5, a 6 and a 9 seed battle it out for the top. Which brings us to Kansas.
I don’t know what Rock Chalk means, but it sure looks sensitive as hell right now. I’m sure all of the Kansas fans will continue to talk about how tough their bracket was, but they didn’t even get to the tough part. If they had held it together, they would be up against a not that great Michigan State team. I’m not going to lie though, Northern Iowa was nails against Kansas though. They weren’t scared and really went for the kill when they had the chance.
Man Up to everyone who was drinking the Kool-Aid and thought Siena was the pick of the tourney to upset Purdue. All that shit talking got Purdue focused and handled business. Speaking of handling business, who the hell is St. Mary’s, and where is that school located?
What is a “Gael”? Is that girl cute? I want to say “no”, but there is a tautness there I find intriguing. Her uniform might just be tight though.
Who are these people, and how did they get into the sweet sixteen?
Now that my bracket is completely jammed up, I can focus all my efforts on rooting for Duke. I don’t mind Purdue in the next round. I think we can shut down their big men if we play well, and if we’ve got to turn around two days later, I don’t mind facing Baylor in the next round. Actually, I’ll take St. Marys so we can have a “God vs. the (Blue) Devil showdown. We’ve actually got a shot at getting to the Final Four this year…if we do I’ll be back here next week being a REAL asshole. Lake might even show up again if that happens. We’re looking to pimp slap hoes for the rest of the tourney.
Meanwhile, in UvT Tourney Challenge news. You want to know who is positioned to win? You want to know who is the highest ranking person left who doesn’t have Kansas winning. You want to know who is still ranked at 99.4% nationally? Last years winner Rosy F. M*therf*ckin’ baby. Is this chick serious? She PICKED ST. MARY’S! If she wins I’m taking her to Vegas with me so we can make some money.
Man Up Kansas, Georgetown, Villanova, and New Mexico. Oh and a side f-u to the Terps. Go burn something you losers. Maybe next year.
-Brock
man fuck New Mexico. they were an overrated #3 seed and that’s all I’ve got to say bout that
hahahahahaha! Big ups to Rosy F Baby! I’m glad she’s holding it down because Lord knows I know NOTHING about basketball.
Yeah, my brackets went into the shredder this weekend as well so I’ll be rooting for Michigan State 9My current fave in the tourney)…In my other, non-UvT bracket I have Kentucky winning it all so there may be hope for me…only problem is that most people picked KY or Kansas so I can’t expect to get much of a jump for my pick…This was an exciting weekend but would have been more exciting if my brackets weren’t so busted!
@ Be, you may have fared better this year knowing NOTHING about basketball…next year, I’ma throw in a bracket just based on which team’s mascot is hotter…In that case, the Gaels would prolly lose in the first round but I might fare a little better.
Mayne, St Mary’s is repping the bay area…small jesuit college in the hills, but they got all that bay talent….but they fucked my bracket up also, had them loosing to nova…..KU , get yours and make me somes $$
Thanks Jayhawks.Ill just leave it at that.
@Brock thanks for the shout out. I do it for kids…ahnt. I do it for the love of UvT and the bragging rights.
It’s hard out here trying to repeat…it feels good to be on top..for now. I’m gonna need the rest of my teams to man-up and act like they deserve the seeds they got.
Rosy F Baby is a damn psychic. Homegirl is goooood….
St. Mary’s is 10 mins east of Berkeley but I didnt think they could take Nova either. Shoulda never doubted the Bay…except Cal. Duke whipped their ass start to finish
Yeah I mean I admit I know squat about NCAA ball cept UCONN women bring it every year. Ha guess that ain’t helping me in the men’s tourney.
I got a chance to win some more pernts and make it respectable but I got a lot of them red marks too.
Some ole bullshit.
@ Brock
Throw up some good ole nekkedness to make me feel a bit better
@ Rosy
Dad said he wants to know how you got another peek at his bracket?
@Mr. Jezus C’mon Bruh…don’t hit me with that gendered nonesense. These picks can go either way, you gotta take some risks some times they fall in your favor some times they don’t. Don’t hate the player….
I watched a few St. Mary’s games this year and knew they would be good, but I didn’t expect them to be that good.
Regarding University of Northern Iowa. They are legit.
The only comfort I take from this is my beloved UNLV rebels played UNI tighter than Kansas and the only way UNI took the W was with a three point shot thrown up by the same kid who dropped the 3 on Kansas, by about five feet past the three point line.
The good news, we played them better than Kansas. The bad news, we probably could have taken Kansas.
Next year: UNLV returns with all our starters, only losing two seniors who were not starters, and also have:
Quintrel Thomas ( http://rutgers.scout.com/a.z?s=183&p=8&c=1&nid=2998583 ) starting after he transfered to UNLV from Kansas and sat out a red shirt year.
Carlos Lopez (http://unlv.scout.com/a.z?s=86&p=8&c=1&nid=3460195 ) who sat out a red shirt year.
We are coming back bigger and with all of our main scorers.
I am calling it now, sweet 16 at least next year.
Love this time of year, simply love it.
Thank you.
@ Rosy
Damn it!
@ Rosy
I wasn’t tryna say anything gender based. Congrats you are doing it big, again.
@ Okolepuka
Nice call on the Sweet 16 for next year, hahahaha. Big claim right there!
Mr Jezus,
Thanks. I believe it!
Also, I call Washington going one more round, they are hot right now and have the talent.
BAYYY AREAAA GO ST MARY’S!!!
Damn, damn Georgetown…. the Bobcats, not the Buckeyes, the bobcats, smh… i am glad I ain’t watch. I must be a masochistic basketball fan, cuz I’m also a Knicks fan.
N then i heard Jayhawks lose to UNI… shit, I would have lost badly if i had entered this tourney.
As Hoya Alum I would like to apologize. I am from WV but bleed Hoya blue and I am still shell shocked. JTIII is not JTII. Dat shiznit is ridiculous! Playing down to their competition all season. Big-ups Rosy! I actually picked St. Mary’s too. But no GU vs. OH St. rematch a la Final Four ‘06 has left my bracket in shambles too. Kansas should still be running laps.
