Head over to March to March where all the cool kids and Vasherized are.

Jimmer = worst nickname ever.

Always nice to start off your bracket with a cool 0-3 run.

Et tu, Nordberg?

That Nova to the Final Four pick isn’t looking so hot right now.

Internet feed is gone for Nova game.

Hello, Y2K!

Regional/watching bias that most everyone in the BC league picked Kansas to win?

I don’t care if Nova loses. Everyone will be losing points on that. I got ND losing, hopefully UF doesn’t screw things up for me by winning.

I correctly called the ODU upset. That makes me a bracket GOD.

I think Sam Houston has taken more charges in the first ten minutes than Texas took all season.

Great start to the tourney. Two OT games and a one point ND loss.

Yeah – a bunch of half ass bowl games is a much better idea.

Man, I can’t believe that Florida game. Their team actually appears to be DUMBER than ours.

I would much prefer to see a 7-5 or 6-6 SEC team play against the 3rd place CUSA team in the Who-Gives-a-Fuck.com bowl rather than watch Texas play 2-3 games in December and January to win a national championship.

ND proved that the old tried and true, anti-Duke theory about how teams that rely on unathletic white dudes who have to get to the foul line and/or make a alot of really ugly right-handed layups never win in the tourney.

Baylor looks pretty damn average.

Pathetic that Baylor is in a dogfight in the first round but can roll us like we’re Sam Houston State or something…..Wait…..

by Patrick Bateman on Mar 18, 2010 3:20 PM CDT reply actions

If Baylor fails, my grand scheme of Purdue playing for it all will immediately begin to take shape.

First great March Madness ending…..Murray State over Vandy on a buzzer beater….

SEC SEC SEC!

SHS is better coached than us.

by Savage Henry on Mar 18, 2010 3:41 PM CDT reply actions

Now Baylor talking trash to the #14 seed players. Seriously?

by ransomstoddard on Mar 18, 2010 3:45 PM CDT reply actions

Baylor will move on…..Kansas State putting it on North Texas. Let’s go Spiders…

by Patrick Bateman on Mar 18, 2010 3:47 PM CDT reply actions

I thought it was might be the smug Longhorn alum in me coloring my view, but apparently Baylor has a bit of the punk to their team.

Also, SHSU bringing a funky defense to limit BU’s effectiveness? We need to get Rick Barnes on a Mobile to call up Lance Zerlein and tell him that we didn’t think zones were allowed in college play.

“SHS is better coached than us.”

SHS is better coached than we are.

I like how the Bearkats did something Texas wasn’t able to do in 3 trys… be up at halftime.

My Ohio state pick looks better.

by Trips Right on Mar 18, 2010 8:23 PM CDT reply actions

Ha ha ha ha. MAC 9th seed knocks off GTown.

by Trips Right on Mar 18, 2010 8:24 PM CDT reply actions

Do we want to play Kentucky? Serious question.

Let’s put it this way… a Texas win over Kentucky would be the most shocking Texas win, in any sport, in the 25 years I’ve been watching Texas sports. I guess the win over Nebraska in 96 currently holds that title.
