March Madness

<p>It is time. Somebody needs to set up the pool again come Sunday. I’m happy to volunteer, if nobody has any objections. </p>

<p>Right now I’m so ashamed of my school, I’m trying to avoid thinking about it. And it is truly “madness” around my house…for instance, last year DH’s team beat my team in the Finals. Go figure.</p>

<p>I’ll probably play anyway.</p>

<p>eeeeewwwwwWWWWW! I went to that link and they were taking about BOYS basketball :eek:! Who is so desperate that they would watch that? My Lady Bears took it on the chin again from OU and that beast Courtney P. . How do you get around that girl? Jeez. I know if I was going to try I’d have to pack a lunch.</p>

<p>In honor of Curmudgeon we’ll try a women’s pool this year as well. By the way, you’re gonna lose your coach to LSU, just wait. And, a final note, Alison Bales of Duke would squash Courtney like a bug.</p>

<p>do you have permission from the ihsa to use the copyrighted term “march madness”? </p>

<p>i love this time of year!</p>

<p>Curmudgeon - looks like you were right, the mask thing is turning out to be okay. Tyler is definitely not performing as well; but the 'Heels are proving they are not a one man show. Nice for the others to get some attention and appreciation. AND how about the Wolfpack? Both the men and the women! Wowee!</p>

<p>Btw…the airport, and the ride home on the ‘UNC-Duke Express’ was an interesting one for ldgirl…wee bit of trashtalking…lol!</p>

<p>Okay, I set it up on Yahoo! Sports again, but this year there’s a new group code:</p>

<p>Sign up instructions:</p>

<p>You have to set up a free yahoo! account, if you don’t already have one. If you have a Yahoo! account, just use it to sign in to Yahoo! Sports. </p>

<p>Go to the Tournament website: <a href=“http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/men[/url]”>http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/men&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Click “join a group”</p>

<p>Then type in for ID: 65498 and password: ccparents</p>

<p>Click the radio button for “Create a new bracket”
Then name your bracket – I suggest using your cc name, e.g. lderochi</p>

<p>Complete, and your status will show “incomplete” because you haven’t made any picks yet. After the teams are announced Sunday, you can go back to the website to complete your bracket. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>lderochi, in any other year, I’d love to join in the fun-- and I applaud you for setting up a group just for us ccparents-- but with my (our?) Blue Devils knocked out in the first round of the ACC, my heart’s just not into March Madness.</p>

9

<p>C’mon – they’ll still be an 8 seed. You gotta stick with it until the bitter end, WW.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Do you remember how horrible Alison was as a freshman? My gosh what strides she has made.</p>

<p>And that would be a bigggggg squash.</p>

11

<p>Alright ‘Heels! ACC Champs!!!
…and hopefully a top seed (bitin’ nails)…</p>

12

<p>Yeah, they won but then they were supposed to win. You gotta give it up for the NC State Wolfpack and Coach Sidney Lowe. What a performance over the last few days! Nobody saw that comin’. Wayta go Pack!</p>

13

<p>I don’t know PackMom - had my worries. Tyler was having a very hard time with the mask. But thank goodness the rest of the team is so talented and delivered.</p>

<p>And the Wolfpack WAS amazing. I’ll give 'em that. They were exhausted and still gave the 'Heels a hard time. I think for that alone they still deserve a spot.</p>

14

<p>The chances of getting an NCAA bid are prety much nil. Hopefully they’ll make some noise in the NIT.</p>

15

<p>PackMom: I agree about the Wolfpack! I’m so proud of them and Sidney Lowe–what a great coach!</p>

16

<p>The consensus in my house after Bracketology Sunday is:
Syracuse was robbed.
Georgetown will go all the way.</p>

17

<p>Glad for the Heels, but my Badgers just can’t score enough points. They really only have one scorer. I’m afraid they may not go far into the tournament.</p>

18

<p>Big East family there, galwaymom? :)</p>

<p>No way was Syracuse robbed. Drexel had a stronger argument than 'Cuse and they didn’t make it either. Why? Because Old Dominion had a stronger argument than either one of them. </p>

<p>Georgetown will make a run to the Elite Eight, but that’s probably it. I don’t think they can get by either UNC or Texas. Not a bad job at all by Thompson getting G’town back in the national spotlight. </p>

<p>I’m still pondering.</p>

<p>NC State plays Drexel in first round of NIT on Tues.!</p>

<p>You must have had a hand in that selection committee, Iderochi.
Either that or you’re defending a fellow Princeton alum?! ;)</p>

<p>Coaching will matter in this tournament, so even Louisville will push through the first few rounds!</p>
