South Korea, meh. I could have done a lot worse I suppose, and at least I should (more than likely) get out of the group stages.

I shall be in this, and I think Brazil will win it (as a conservative pick). I predict that I will probably draw Tunisia

I know they are supposed to remain secretive, but eh...what the hell, I am pretty set on these so they won't change much if at all between now and Thursday.

I am in, and it's not really that hard for you to tell which one I am. Also I hope that this year I don't lose two of my final four teams within 10 Minutes of each other.

Not if you listened to it for more than Five Minutes you wouldn't.

Ah, screw you, Michaels is always class.

Not if you listened to it for more than Five Minutes you wouldn't.

Hold up a minute.......

My screen says "3rd and 15"......I thought you only needed 10 yards to get a 1st down?

No one respects Denver because they haven't won a playoff game since Elway left.

I believe his name was Anthony Thomas, offensive rookie of the year a few years back for the Pats. Busted up his knee in like a sand football promotion or something and that was that.

AJ Styles has fought in CZW before, at Best of the Best 3 i think....he lost by the way putting over one of the Briscoe Brothers i think

Are any of the USA games on TV?  That's all I can get here, unless Telemundo is airing like Brazil.

I actually heard a live version of this song earlier this year, but It is nice to finally get a Recorded Version. Great Stuff. I still prefer the "Reinventing Axl Rose" Against Me! a little better.

"Going Hard" - Talib Kweli

(Hook)

I got a part to play, we going hard these days

Fuck the harder way, we doing it the harder way

To my god I pray, that's how I start my day

The bullets starts to spray the revolution starts today

I say the shit these people ain't got the heart to say

Fuck the harder way, we doing it the smarter way

To my god I pray, that's how I start my day

The bullets starts to spray the revolution starts today

(1st Verse)

You say you never scared there's kids in other countries

Making jerseys, jeans, and sneakers they could never wear

Parents never there, they're busy building homes they can't afford to buy

Cars they can't afford to drive

Working jobs that don't support their life

You busy screaming gangsta, gangsta all that talk is trife

You already know lost the fight if you don't know the cost of life

These kids is forced to fight a war they can't outrun

Ain't got no shoes but got a gun

Now where the fuck he pulled that out from?

People ask me how we wearing diamonds

When there's little kids in Sierra Leone

Losing arms for crying while they mining

Probably an orphan who's momma died of AIDS

He built a coffin working often but he never paid

Forever slaving in the world that's forever cold

Becoming the man of the house at 11 years old

This reality rap, I get inside the mentality that...

Terrorize you like a cowardly act

(Hook)

I got a part to play, we going hard these days

Fuck the harder way, we doing it the harder way

To my god I pray, that's how I start my day

The bullets starts to spray the revolution starts today

I say the shit these people ain't got the heart to say

Fuck the harder way, we doing it the smarter way

To my god I pray, that's how I start my day

The bullets starts to spray the revolution starts today

(2nd Verse)

I was sold to a sick European by a rich African battlin'

Middle Passages, I can't go back again

Battlin' years of denied history, lies and mysteries

Wives with misty eyes watchin' their husbands be beaten viciously

Battle in the wilderness of North America

Run by the river, only stoppin' to pray chased by predators

Terrorists with etiquette who vote and kill their president

Their capacity for evil so evident and prevalent

Ain't no hesitation involved, a nation dissolved

While we sit back waitin' to evolve

Those who would trade in their freedom

For their protection deserve neither

Not a name, not tradition

Religion, you learn Jesus

Turn the other cheek

Inherit the Earth, just stay meek

Fuck the way you speak

Try to run, we chop off your feet

Fast forward to 2004 we selling

Yo this ain't what I'm settling for

I want more, yo

(Hook)

I got a part to play, we going hard these days

Fuck the harder way, we doing it the harder way

To my god I pray, that's how I start my day

The bullets starts to spray the revolution starts today

I say the shit these people ain't got the heart to say

Fuck the harder way, we doing it the smarter way

To my god I pray, that's how I start my day

The bullets starts to spray the revolution starts today

Actually naiwf, I think that is the same pick being that they happened one day apart, I could be wrong though because I didn't know that Pavolovic had anything to do with Charlotte or Toronto.

Even if there was a two guard this year the Cavs wouldnt be able to get him since they dont have a draft pick.  :pinch:

Who did Cleveland trade their pick to? and what did they get in return?

I hate my lack of Sky Sports...

BAH! I'm an idiot for not picking my Brackets on ESPN and on Yahoo the same. Oh well. Maybe New Mexico can come back.

Well with the score the way it is UAB is going to beat LSU, and my day one will probably cap off with a 15-1 record. Much like EBG's UW-Milwaukee prediction getting change. I changed my original prediction of UAB over LSU.

8 out of 8 through the early games for me. I was sweating during the end of the Utah/UTEP game as I have them going to the Elite 8, but they pulled it out like hopefully they do against Oklahoma.

I don't like My Chemical Romance as I am not a huge fan of that genre of music mostly, but the song "It's Not A Fashion Statement(It's a Deathwish)" is really damned good in my mind.
