I want to see WilliamJew's picks.

With Minnesotta choking like dogs, my bracket is fucked. Fucked.

First time in ten years I didn't make a bracket. Tried to do one from my phone yesterday at work, but I had connectivity problem and then forgot about it when I got home.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Told ya they were way over-seeded.

A guy I know is playing in the tournament today for New Mexico. I don't think they have much of a chance though.

Front page of ESPNs tourney coverage has two pictures on it. Both of them show UCLA.

WTF is going on with the hyping of UCLA this year?

I know everyone loves updates on how other people's brackets are doing. :)

I got through the first day with a perfect bracket in my office pool. I'm rushing to trash talk now before the Day 2 games start and my bracket gets busted.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Michigan-Oklahoma State was unbelievably tense BBall.  Evans and Walton played about as well as you can expect point guards to play.  Poor gamblers got crewed on that desperation 3 by OSU at the end to make it a one-point game.  I'm thinking damned few picked OSU to lose but by only a point.

This was really good thinking. I'm busted. :)

I'm in a 46 person pool, and in 2nd place, with my final 4 intact, but already mathematically eliminated because #1 and I have almost the same pool (same final 4 and champ) from here on.:(

Some great games today. 

And also a tip of the hat to Berkut's brethren.  Some pretty good officiating today - especially in the Kansas game.

The ACC, clearly the best conference in the nation! They got *NINE* teams into the tournament!

Of course, 8 of those 9 were gone the first weekend.

Doesn't this happen nearly every time a conference is seen as especially strong, and gets some huge number of teams into the tournament?

It is bad. I now know what it is like to be a big 10 football fan in bowl season the last dozen years or so.
