What, is everybody actually working?

So ...

This scoreboard thing that I embedded is awful light on scores. Do people really care more about time remaining than who is ahead? It’s like Boise State tracking passing yards on the scoreboard rather than touchdowns.

I am, however, intrigued to see what happens to Villanova. It would be bad for my bracket, but I’m kind of rooting for Robert Morris.

Me too

I had Villanova going far but that was only because I hate Duke so much. Ugh.

BYU just giving this game away.

No aggression at all. I’m not sure they deserve to advance.

Also...

They have some freaky-looking fans.

BYU got pretty fortunate with that one. I would like to think that Robert Morris would have handed it to them.

How Many More Days 'Till Football Season? (lol)

My brackets have Kansas over Kentucky. Illinois over Rhode Island in the NIT.

That BYU game did not lack in muchness.

They both had their fits of crappy and awesome. Very entertaining game.

I had long had the same thoughts.

A first I thought maybe his parents were hopeful for a Trucker son, but then I heard that his given name is James and Jimmer as been a nickname since he was a kid.

Georgetown?! Noooooo ...

Haha

I filled out a total of 7 brackets this year. I didn’t pick Ohio to beat Georgetown in one of them.

Argh!!

Sweet!

This takes at least one of my co-workers out of the office pool. He had Georgetown winning it all.

I'm really good at picking upsets

just not the ones that actually happen.

Amen to that.

Hmmm

Well I sort of survived the carnage of the first day. Marquette and Georgetown got me the worst.

I haven’t watched 15 seconds of college basketball this year so I am depending on Lady Luck. Since she is a woman, I am screwed. :)

BSU don't need smoke and mirrors to get the job done, they got orange pants.

I picked the Murray State and Old Dominion upsets in my office pool

Why do my online brackets look nothing like my office one? No idea.
