  1. 26/32 (got all the 5/12 games and all the 8/9 games right, which has to be the first time in my life that's happened), but 3 Sweet 16 teams gone. I should've picked Nova to the 16 instead of Vandy. If AJ Price hadn't gotten hurt, the Big East would probably have gone 8-0 in the 1st round. Too bad for UConn.
  2. Wow, today is more than making up for yesterday's stinkfests. Western Kentucky scored what I believe is the first NCAA buzzer-beater since Northwestern State two years ago. I've lost only 4 1st round games so far - two Sweet 16 teams (USC and UConn), but I feel ok about where I'm sitting right now.
  3. There is no reason for anything other than Jump by Van Halen to ever be played when the Cubs take the field.
  4. Good win. Irish did not play their best game, but they didn't need to. Bring on Washington State. (I now feel guilty about picking WSU to beat us.)
  5. Irish really aren't even playing that well. Hitting their 3's but taking a lot of bad shots. Luke is playing well below his usual standards. Hopefully they'll look sharper here in the 2nd half.
  6. I actually thought Belmont got away with over the back there.
  7. Belmont is playing a fantastic game. I have Duke out to WVU so I would welcome this upset.
  8. Well, Marquette can bite me. Now 6-1.
  9. 3 for 3 so far along with about 85 percent of the world. I have 3 higher seeds and Kentucky in this next group, but none of the games feature a team I have winning more than once.
  10. A - Alex Rodriguez B - Matt Holliday, Alfonso Soriano C - Aramis Ramirez, Travis Hafner, Adrian Gonzalez D - Gary Sheffield, Ryan Zimmerman, Jason Bay, Nick Markakis, Kevin Kouzmanoff Wild Card - Michael Young

    The NBA thread

    The Bulls would have to lose all their remaining games to have even a remote chance of landing anyone truly good in the draft. I'll take the fraction of one percent chance that the Bulls catch fire and make a playoff run over the one percent chance that the Bulls get a high draft pick that Paxson would probably screw up anyway.

    The NBA thread

    Bulls get a pivotal win over NJ - they'd have been in really dire straits if they'd lost that one. Nets host Atlanta tomorrow, so the Bulls will gain a half-game on one of those two regardless.
  13. This is my least gutsy bracket that I've ever filled out. West Virginia to the Sweet 16, Michigan State to the Elite 8 and Stanford to the title game are the only picks on mine that remotely resemble gutsy.

    The NBA thread

    If it was up to me I would get rid of everybody on the team expect for Noah and Tyrus and even them I would trade for something if needed. Gooden has been really good since coming over I wouldn't have a problem keeping one of Gordon and Hughes either - both are inconsistent, but the Bulls need at least one person capable of going off for 30+ on a given night.
  15. As if I wasn't excited enough already, ND gets Gus Johnson. Thursday can't possibly arrive soon enough.
  16. Howry would be a fine choice, and maybe the best choice. I really want to see Wood step up and win the job though.
  17. 180. Kelvim Escobar 181. Chad Cordero 182. Luke Scott
  18. 170. Johnny Damon 171. Felix Pie 172. Jack Cust 173. Jeff Francoeur 174. Alex Gordon 175. Rafael Furcal 176. Jonathan Broxton 177. Jered Weaver 178. Carlos Marmol 179. Frank Thomas
  19. If you see anyone who looks like Roast working at Wrigley, harass him unmercifully. :wink:
  20. I created the NSBB group and sent invites to all the members I'm 'friends' with that added the CBSSports app. For anyone else that has a Facebook and wants in, here's the link.
  21. Do the NSBBers that have Facebooks want to put together an NSBB group again? I was going to create it tonight but I want to make sure all the usual suspects want in.
  22. I have K-State, George Mason, Butler, and (gulp) Mississippi State all in the Sweet 16. You jerk. :wink: Gutsy picks though. I thought for a loooong time about the Butler/Tennessee game before wimping out and taking the Vols. I suppose my biggest 'surprise' pick is Michigan State to the Elite 8.
  23. For the first time probably ever I have no double-digit seeds in the Sweet 16. I'm not sure I feel good about that. I only have one 7 making it that far and none below that.
  24. I have picked North Carolina to beat Stanford in the national title game.
  25. Holy crap. Mayo vs. Beasley in the 1st round. 6 USC vs 11 Kansas State
