Four more games tonight.........my brackets are all messed up! Ack! Bama and Pitt, I had winning one more game beyond today. Ugh. Oh well. Both were foolish choices.

Allright...Texas lost! Whoo hoo!

Sorry Claire...Texas is the enemy...even if they are on "our" bracket!

FDU keeping it interesting with Illinois! I have illinois, of course, as I'm sure every sane person does, but I would love to see FDU pull it off. The huge upset is what makes the tourney great. Down only 1 at the half.

Four losses and three of them affected my second round picks. I've never had that happen before. In one day! Ack!

Today:

NC State (grumblegrumble, I hate NC State)
Florida
Iowa State
OK State
Connecticut
Villanova
North Carolina (Go Tar Heels!!)
S. Illinois
Syracuse
Louisville
Wisconsin
Duke
Michigan State (sorry, ODU)
Georgia Tech
Kansas
Stanford

I don't have any surprise picks today.....the second round was where I changed it up a bit and where I'll lose points big-time. Oh well......

Flubber · 03-18-2005, 09:35 AM

Missed 3 games yesterday. 'Bama, LSU and Pitt let me down but I didn't lose any teams in the next round yet. Whew.

On to day 2.

Claire · 03-18-2005, 10:39 AM

GOD, I hate NC State!!!

Sheesh, I throw them a bone and they screw me. Every flipping time! I hate them!

Duke's puke
Wake's fake
But the team I hate
Is NC State!!!

Bah!

Now if they manage to pull their heads out and win this game, I take back the Bah! But that's all.

SacTown Chronic · 03-18-2005, 10:47 AM

Hah! I have Charlotte -- in all my pools.

Going against the ACC is easy money sometimes. Just wait 'till UNC lays an egg (No, not today, but soon.).

scaeagles · 03-18-2005, 10:49 AM

I turned on the game and it was 18-4 Charlotte! (I love working from a home office where I can position my office chair just where I need to to see the TV.) Yikes!

Need some more upsets today - not for my pool, but for fun.

And Claire, it's always U of Az that screws me.

SacTown Chronic · 03-18-2005, 10:55 AM

It's Kansas that usually screws me. That's why I said the hell with it this year and picked them to not even make the Sweet 16.

So watch 'em win it all.

Claire · 03-18-2005, 11:02 AM

Wake and NC State. Always mess with me.

I try not to get emotional in my picks.....they play some TOUGH teams in their regular seasons, and I am pre-programmed to hate them (my blood runs Carolina Blue), so I try not to let that hatred affect my brackets. I try to use my brain. BUT damn. There's only so much I can take.

My hatred grows exponentially.
