1. DAMN YOU TO HELL STANFORD
Hey, I got my one loss out of the way in a round where it's not that many points and I didn't have stanford going on further than the 2nd round.

Unfortunately in my 'Blue Bracket' (which isn't in the DU group) - I had Stanford in the final 4 - they were the bluest of that group

2. Never underestimate venue location importance
Stanford had to cross a few time zones. Louisville had to cross half a state.

4. I just figured that Stanford had more of those "San Francisco Values"...
...isn't that what we're trying to do to the rest of the country?

7. Inflate property values?
The house I live in would cost seven times as much if it was in San Francisco. I ain't a millionaire but I'd have to be if I wanted to live in San Francisco. :)

3. I'm 2-1 ... stupid Texas Tech...
I didn't join the DU bracket group, but my picks are on my blog.

Admittedly, I got a little silly — I have the championship as being a rematch of the NCAA football championship :silly:

I also had every No. 10 beating every No. 7 ... which, obviously, is a dead deal now.

5. Bobby Knight is a well-known Repuke
And since we all know that Repuke is a synonym for loser that's why they lost

8. I should have known better than to trust Bob Knight.
That's my only loss.

Texas A&M win! :woohoo:

10. I was trying to show some conference loyalty.
Plus, they beat A&M twice this year, so I wanted them to do well. x(

15. I live and work in Lubbock...
I have to hear how "wonderful" Tech is all the time. Bobby Knight could take a dump on their lawn and they would build a shrine. I have no loyalty to Tech.

16. Lubbock has got some good folks in it but they all dead
One of my all-time favorite Billie Joe Shaver lyrics.

You must be the exception that proves the rule :toast:

Thought I'd get it out of my system while I could because I'm sure by the end of the night my bracket will crash and burn.

23. Weird that everyone seems to have picked No. 11 G.W. to beat No. 6 Vandy, no?
Edited on Fri Mar-16-07 09:52 AM by SteppingRazor
Looks like Charlie and algernon picked them as well (see post above this subthread)

30. I just don't like Vanderbilt's name
I guess it was tough day for schools named after turn-of-the century robber barons.

27. I think VCU shocked just about everyone...
I think Pitt will beat the holy hell out of them, but still, nicely done.

I mean, it's not like I like Duke — I freakin' hate'em — I was just trying to be logical. I should've just listened to my loathing!

ODU, Duke and Oral Roberts were the ones I got wrong.

I don't mind Duke losing though. If I gotta lose a Sweet 16 team, I'll take Duke.

I wouldn't mind being wrong about UNC either since their playing MSU Saturday.

32. 3-0 in today's early games
Life is good. The only thing better would be if I actually had money riding on this.
