EWB's NCAA Pick'em

[Clawson]

I didn't pick them, the coin did. But now that you mention it, it could be fun.

[gunnar hendershow]

So is everyone on the Oral bandwagon?

I've got a million of them.

[OGpistolpete]

Okay, I think I'm done editing mine. UNC, Kansas, Pitt, and UCLA in the final four for me.

[Krone]

And so it has begun! Today is truly like heaven on earth.

[JStarr]

Georgia's doing just enough to make me veeeeeeery nervous. Go away and die already, you bastards.

[DMN in the House]

I didn't enter, because I can't leave my rabid homerism for UCLA aside, but I have to say, their bracket scares me. Its not that its a tough bracket, its actually the opposite. There is NO reason why UCLA shouldn't come out of the West, and that scares the shit out of me.

Yes, I'm turning this into my general NCAA tourney thread. GO BRUINS!

Also, my 'sleeper' is Wazzou. The first #1 to fall will be... Memphis. Their conference will come back to bite them in the ass. While a team like UCLA or UNC has to scrap and claw through a tough conference (well, UCLA at least), they basically coasted through C-USA. Thats not good.

[thuganomic]

Fucking Georgia. For a second, I thought I was looking like a genius.

[Meacon Keaton]

Stupid Kent State and their 10 point first half...That's what I get for picking two #9 seeds to advance. I knew one of them (picked Kent State over UNLV, and Oregon over Mississippi State) would bite me in the ass.

GO HEELS!

[OGpistolpete]

Don't worry man, I had Kent State over UNLV too. Unless Kent can pull out a 22-0 run, I'm going to end up 4/6 so far.

[JStarr]

Damn, and here I thought Baylor would actually give Purdue a run. If the Boilers can keep this up, then Xavier's gonna have a serious time with them in Round 2.

Now to pray that the Rally From Hell doesn't occur in these last four minutes.

[oldskool]

Fuck, why'd I pick Baylor? A million smackeroonies, out the window.

And everyone else that missed one had Kent State over UNLV. D'oh.

Yeah, so I definitely didn't import my bracket into the EWB group. I thought it'd pull it from my other Yahoo Group. Silly me.

My Bracket

[Meacon Keaton]

Haha, after looking at your brackett, a few in the EWB group, and some from my work, I've got to ask: What's the deal with Oral Roberts? Is it because they have the word "oral" in it's name? Especially the people from work seemed to think this mid major was going to beat one of the hottest teams in the country at this time (PITT). Just wondering if I've completely missed something, or if it's just cool to like the Oral.

[Hugar Twriker Eats Spam]

Hmm... 4/7 so far but none of my loses really hurt me...

[OGpistolpete]

I hate those close games where both teams have a chance to win.

Damn you Oregon vs. Miss St coming up!

[Hajjhowe]

I'm off to an ok start. I wish I could go back and change a few picks (Mainly Davidson in the Sweet 16 and Kansas State over USC) but I am otherwise confident in my picks. I'd probably not take Xavier if not for the fact I hate BCS programs and feel a need to at least pick one Mid-Major to go far.

[Enter Blue Guy]

So I go check my bracket expecting to be 6/7. Apparently I took Kent St. over UNLV. Yet during the game I was sure I picked UNLV.

And for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to take Baylor into the 16. So yay.

Shit, Hajj, Xavier's probably the only team in UCLA's region that I'd give any chance against them, so I don't see that as a pick to be ashamed of.

And I put together one bracket where K-State rolled to the Elite 8. Hopefully, Walker keeps playing like he has and Beasley remembers that it's his team soon.

And I fart in the general direction of all you Baylor-pickers.
