President Obama's Brackets

[El Supremo]

Can someone enter him in the DU Pool? I'd like to see how he does.

[thewiseguy]

1. Uh Oh, Someone got it wrong on the Morehead vs Alababa St game

No perfect bracket for you Barack!

[TZ]

2. He picked Maryland to advance past Cal!

I knew I loved the guy for a reason! (oh plus he has Duke losing to Pitt..awesome!):loveya:

[Upton]

3. I wouldnt count on it

that game's probably a toss up. He's also got Duke beating Villanova....I don't know about that.

[cboy4]

4. Maryland over Cal?

<Price is Right loser horn>

[El Supremo]

7. Hey. He picked TU over OU.

That should make you happy. Or are you really rooting for some other team?

[cboy4]

9. I'm rooting for UT (Univ. of Tennessee) first. But when they lose

to Pitt, I hope CAL will still be alive and I will pull for them.

I would also like to see East Tennessee State upset Pitt, but that's not happening.

[El Supremo]

12. There cannot be two UTs

There can be three OSUs. But there can't be two UTs. The bigger university prevails. The university with the better shade of orange prevails. The university with the better academics prevails. The university with the bigger endowment prevails. The university with the prettier coeds prevails.

Get used to it TU alumn.

[cboy4]

16. But allow me to slide in a trump all of that with

the fact Taxas has fewer football National Championships.

UH OH!

Not to mention we average over 100,000 per game. I don't think they get that in Austin.

[El Supremo]

18. Your capacity may be a mere 10,000 more but I beg to differ on National Champions.

Since 1936 UT has four. TU has two. :cry:

And those five that TU has before 1936 are all shared.

[cboy4]

19. Actually UT has six. It's correct that Texas has four.

We were National Champions in:

1998
1967
1951
1950
1940
1938

That's six! We have two more! :bounce:

23. Bull!

From Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Tennessee_football

Tennessee claims 6 national championships. The following is a list of the 6 national championships listed by the Vols. Only four (1938, 1950, 1951, and 1998) were recognized by major polls. The Associated Press has only acknowledged Tennessee as National Champions twice, but the #1 Vols lost in the Sugar Bowl in 1951 after being claimed National Champs. Only the 1998 team finished the year as universal and undisputed National Champions.

[cboy4]

25. Oh boy

:rofl:

I guess they should just rename Neyland Stadium .. you know, the one named after the coach who led Tennessee to its first four national championships.

And we've had two since 1951, for a total of six.

All of your bold type doesn't change history.

[El Supremo]

26. Get a life.

Aren't you tired of being put down here? It isn't fun for me either to argue with you. I would put you on ignore but you are so outrageous I don't want to miss your next doozy. I must have a morbid curiosity or something.

[cboy4]

28. No, it's oxycontin to me and I love the attention.

I don't blame you for being furious that I handed you your ass on a platter, you national championship cheater.

Gee, I'm sooooo insecure, I'll just take away another school's trophies, because I will cry if we don't have the most championships ... you know, at the one and only UT! :eyes:

That was me imitating you, by the way.

[madinmaryland]

29. cboy4 has no life! Even his mother won't lend him the

car to go find a job! Hence we're stuck with him here!!

[Redbear]

24. Tennessee only has six if you count Dunkel, Litkenhouse etc.

If you count the off-brands, Texas actually has eight national championships (41,63,68,69,70,77,81,05)

If you limit it to AP/BCS, the count is Texas four (63,69,70,05) and Tennessee two (51,98).

[TZ]

30. Who is the Loser now?

Maryland 84-Cal 71! :woohoo:

[El Supremo]

5. Here is a photo:

[fishwax]

8. that's a cool picture

:D

[cboy4]

10. Obama was like, get me my damn bracket and I want it

on a big ass wooden easel with the presidential seal on it.

I'd want that too if I were him. :rofl:

[fishwax]

6. not a very adventurous bracket

The sweet 16 is all according to seed except for two five seeds; the elite 8 is all chalk except for Syracuse, a 3 seed, and there are only five first-round games where he picked the lower seed. Two of those were in 8-9 games. Here's hoping the real tournament is a bit more unpredictable :)

Still, all in good fun, and I think it's pretty cool that Obama released his bracket toast:

[Condem]

11. I'm not seeing most of you in the DU pool.

What's up with that???

[abqmufc]

13. Mr. Prez a Tar-Heel

everyday I find another reason to appreciate him. Being a Tar-Heel (at least by his picks) is great. Wonder if that is following his gut or the fact he got to scrimmage with the teams back during the election campaign? Who had the bigger rush that day? The prez for playing hoops with some of the best college players OR the Tar-Heel players for playing with a future president?

21. Watch the video.

Decisions based on substance, not favors.

[Yavin4]

14. NC Went For Obama in 2008. KY Did Not.

Just saying.

[MrPerson]

15. A lot of chalk. BTW, Pitt wins.

[Condem]

17. Villanova will beat Pitt, MrPerson.

Jay Wright's a great coach.

[elleng]

20. Here's the video that goes with it:

22. I wanted to enter John McCain's brackets...

but the weasel didn't release them. We have to wait until each game is over to see his results.

[El Supremo]

27. They are available now.

You may have to log in to see them. Just give a phony name and e-mail.

But I can't tell if old "Country First" has picked UNC or Louisville to win it all. Am I missing something?

[El Supremo]

33. McSame would be tied for first in our poll.

He got all eight games right yesterday.

[El Supremo]

31. The President is trailing Senator McCain right now

Barack has lost 8 picks and John has lost 6. Neither one is all that great.

One funny thing - one of the leaders in McCain's contest is named "M. Queer". He/she has only one bad pick so far.

34. McCain is way ahead right now.

McCain 106 - Obama 86

Better than any DUer.

He isn't going to "bomb, bomb, bomb" in this poll.

[El Supremo]

35. OMG! McCain is tied with Obama!

And they will finish tied.

Better call the Supreme Court!
