I made two brackets, 1 of them I spent hours processing and tweaking, the other one I set a timer for 3 minutes and just fired away on. both of them had the gators taking it all.

My Alma Mater is the only school to win the NCAA & the NIT Tournaments in the same year.
And the next year 7 players were arrested in one of the worst point-shaving scandals in sports history.

Coached by Nat Holman.
And the city of NYC was kind of iced out of the NCAA after that- returning to MSG this year for the first time since 1961.
Also expecting Oklahoma, UMass, St. Louis, Ohio State, UConn, and Oregon to lose in what I still call the 1st round.
Really? You sure you didn't mean Michigan State?
Am I hallucinating?

Brandon Weeden 2015!
I'm going Spartans but haven't picked a winner in years. Didn't even do a bracket this year. But I do love the tourney.
Done....we'll figure out a prize down the road.
how are we going to do this; $25, $50, $100?
who is RG?
Yo. That's me.
I'd prefer to put up a record instead of cash.
i'm completely down for that, but i should mention that shipping to canada is always (inexplicably) a lot more expensive. i guess we'll just be malleable about it, record or cash value kind of thing. i'm okay with either. it would just be easier for me to email the loot, in the event i dont win.
Well, if you want to send me cash, that's fine. I'm just short on cash and long on records right now.
i think this is one of the most mis-leading years of seed choices i've seen in recent memory.
I think seeding has been random and problematical for awhile.
That Harvard win today is being called an "upset" but was totally unsurprising.
I think Dayton and NDst helped out with that.
wow
Hey,
This has been a great NCAA tournament thus far. There have been a number of nail-biter games, and I'm feeling the relative parity across programs; however, the seedings have been real and I think some programs (i.e., the bigger ones) are playing underclassmen too young. Those smaller schools that have more mature, better developed upperclassmen are playing circles around the larger schools. Experience matters greatly, particularly during execution down the stretch.

Go heels!!!!
Hey Count,
It's nice to see that good squads are playing team ball. By the way, I'm glad the heels bit the dust. I hate those motherfuckers and I'm from NC (but grew up in MD). I have always found suspect ACC teams to be overrated in the top-25 polls (all the way back to when Uwe Blab and the Hoosiers sonned the 'Heels in '84). I think they were ranked #1 that year too (yeah, right).
Peace,

That dude Early on Wichita St. is kinda nice though.
