3. Well, it's like that every year...
I watched the Wake v WVU game and it was thrilling.
One of the best games I've seen in a long time.
Up and down and with TWO overtimes, it was in doubt until the last few seconds.

If you woke up and found out your bracket was busted don't be mad.
Be mad that you didn't stay up and watch the game!

The NCAA basketball tournament is a thrill ride and I'm going back on it today!

5. Sorry Kleeb.........................
I never would have picked WVU in the sweet 16. Their play in the middle part of the season led me to believe that the good national ranking we had at the beginning was going to be a fluke, much like our football team. However, their game has finally gelled and are taking numbers. Hope Bob Knight is ready for us.



GO MOUNTIES!!!!!!!!!!

6. Its cool
Its just now my bracket is fucked, I often defend the state of West Virginia though, we're more "redneck" than them here in Va, because they did after all secede from us because we had slavery and they also had a decent white ethnic population with the coal mines and all, Virginia has never had that many white ethnics.

7. WVU has fucked many a fan's brackets....................
and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Mountie fans have waited a long time for something like this. And I really like that WVU is getting the Cinderella team buzz, and because of our good showing in this tourney, and a pretty good performance in the Gator Bowl this year will ultimately mean more $$ and better recruiting for us. Things are looking up for the Blue and Gold.

8. You know I dont mind the actual university
They were I think the only university that sent me stuff to consider them for school. I however will be doing community college then if I play my hand right go to GWU in DC or somewhere with a great political science and journalism program.

9. Wooo Hooo!!!!
As a life-long Mountaineer fan & WVU grad, last night was so exciting. I'm so proud of this team & how far they've come. We're always the underdog in pretty much everything, so it's damn nice to do well in something! This team making West Virginia proud ... something that doesn't happen very often.

The game was exhausting, though. Glad it's finally over.

:D :hi:
