How's your NCAA bracket going...

Postby a.blanco0905 » Thu Mar 17, 2011 11:58 am


Mine is taking a crap on me, I picked Clemson to upset WV and Old Dominion over butler... the Clemson upset wasnt even close but Butler won at the buzzer, still a wrong pic... oh well.

I missed ODU and Louisville. Had Louisville in Sweet 16.

Also have Penn St and they are in a tight one.

I'm 0-4... I also had Penn St. (they lost already) This will be worse I've ever done in the first round of a bracket... I had Louisville in the sweet 16 so that was a double whammy against me...

I came back and didn't miss another yesterday, so got 13 of 16, and with Richmond beating Vandy that covers the Louisville issue. Hope luck keeps up today.

That's pretty good... I'm 10 for 16, but there's a gazillion people with perfect brackets on yahoo's "pick'em" tourney... I think they're cheating with different accounts, but whatever, well maybe not whatever -there's a million bucks on the line, lol... so I guess I didnt try hard enough, what's the point tho... I mean who had morehead st over louisville? d!ck Vitale had them going deep (not that I based my pick on him) and I thought I had them going to the sweet 16 but I have them going to the national semis and losing to Kansas St, but last week's performance against Uconn should've been a tell sign... I have Kansas St. upsetting Wisconsin, Pittsburg and Florida and playing Louisville at the semis (now we know that's not going to happen) and losing to Uconn in the championship... My bracket is bold... lol... but I love me a good upset... deep down I'm glad morehead beat louisville, remisnicing of Appalachian st beating (Michigan right?) in football a couple of years ago.

Yeah, if people guess enough they will get it right. I'm on the ESPN tourney challenge, still plenty of people that got all of them correct so far.

There seems to be much more upsets in basketball, 1 or 2 12s beat a 5, just the matter of guessing which ones.

And I always remember us beating Michian in '07. If I don't I watch the DVD of it again. :)

Bearded dude is Yosef (name from old motto: education your self). Unfortunately looking more like we'll be heading to FBS in next couple years.

TX in a close one, and TN is getting killed now, which hurts me.

I've been working on my bike and doing some errands today so I dont really know how good today has been compared to yesterday as far as how good the games were, but so far I'm 15 for 23 which is a lot better than yesterday... I picked the Florida St upset over A&M so Im proud of that one today, lol...

EDIT: I had the Vols over Michigan... You have got to be kidding me right??? 75-45????????? Dang Bruce Pearl... lol... He's def a goner after that embarrasment.

So far I'm 20 for 29... Illinois came through for me with the mini upset, I picked Xavier over Marquette but I should've known better and pick the upset, oh well. Didnt see Villanova getting beat by George Mason tho... nope, not going to lie, I thought 'Nova was goint to destroy G. Mason...

Anybody else has a bracket??? Come'on sports bar...

EDIT: I have Georgetown going to the round of 32 on my bracket but they're losing bad...

I got 27 of 32 in '1st round'. Things went bad yesterday though. But I'm winning my group, just missed Pitt, had them in final 4.

I'm 30 for 48 as of right now but I gave up. Too many dumb mistakes on my part that were so obvious... Butler for instance, I thought they were a one hit wonder behind Gordon Hayward last year and I was tempted to pick them but I didnt have them winning one game. Come to find out they have a great head coach and I think they will be competitive for years to come. Marquette beat Xavier and Syracuse and that discouraged me badly (I had Xavier knocking them off) and I've never really gave them the respect they deserve, I'm always saying they dont belong in the big east but sh*t, somehow when it really matters they win. I'm not going to talk much about VCU or Richmond but I'll say that they prolly messed up about 75% of the brackets in this country, lol.

VCU got me. I had Richmond winning the first game.

I'm 37 of 48, but missing Pitt and Perdue from Elite 8 and Pitt from my final four.
