It's almost time... any darkhorse picks out there?
Go Buckeyes!!!
My dark horse pick is Ohio State, Football team De Ja Vu
Amazingly enough, I gotta go with the University of Kansas Jayhawks!! Young, very good and getting better!!
ROCK! CHALK! BABY!!!!
Go Hawks!!
Ahh now J -- you just had to bring that up.
Otter, you asked the question--you can't complain when folks answer correctly!
lol KC -- damn good think I like you or we'd have to take this one outside
BTW, What the hell is up with Florida?
Florida's history, Otter!! Spent too much time reading their own press!
By the way, who would you take if you were drafting #!: Kevin Durant or Greg Oden? Don't let your emotions get in the way of your good judgment, now!
Durant is a beast and Oden will be. Both would be good investments for the long haul but KD would pay more dividends quicker.
See, I can be objective
oden is a man........already has the look of a grizzled vet. how old is he???
lol -- there was a great sign in the stands at the Florida game
"Hey Greg, how were the 70s?"
January 22, 1988 Buffalo, NY
Otter, my man, a little history for you:
With KU's win over Texas, the Jayhawks have 1,900 victories in the history of the program. Only North Carolina (1,907) and Kentucky (1,946) have more. Kentucky plays at Rupp Arena and North Carolina at the the Dean Smith Center. Adolph Rupp and Dean Smith both played at KU under Dr. Phog Allen. KU plays at Allen Fieldhouse, located on Naismith Boulevard. The boulevard was named after Dr. James Naismith, KU's first coach, who also invented the game.
We're talking tradition!!
Very impressive. We'll see if that tradition is worth a damn thing on the court THIS year.
I'm confident, provided we don't have to play a team that starts with "B" in the first round. Won't be Bucknell or Bradley, but Belmont scares me!!
Almost time. I'll expect everyone to behave themselves and dutifully cheer the Buckeyes on to victory.
Kansas (1) will play Friday in Chicago against the winner of Florida A&M (16) and Niagara play-in game.
Rock Chalk!
<--- Kansas native!
Good chance at a KU / OSU final.
Hope so, Otter!! The Jayhawks are due!!
Otter, just filled out my brackets. I always do two: got KU winning it all in one and Ohio St. winning it all in the other. Let the games begin!!
ANYONE HEARD OF THE GATORS?
Gators? Hmmm. . . . nope, doesn't ring a bell
Cool. I picked Niagra. Gonna be a good year, I can taste it.
What happened to the badgers???
Can you believe that last play, Otter???
Dang! pretty incredible there k-man!
KC -- between your Jayhawks and my Buckeyes, we have one hell of a heart attack waiting to happen!
Ain't that the truth, Otter!! I'm getting too old for this #*&%!!
KC -- what happend man, you're killing my bracket? I was counting on you!
Otter, no-one sorrier about that than me. Ya can't expect to win when ya miss 19 freaking layups.
Georgetown favored over my Buckeyes by 1. Thoughts???
GO BUCKS!!!!
For all intents and purposes, a one point spread is a toss-up. I'm praying for a Buckeye win because I have Florida and Ohio State in the finals in my bracket, and I'm a winner if both teams win their semis. No Buckeye fan here but they can make me very happy (and a little wealthier)!!
Wow KC, a true Jayhawk fan would have picked Kansas for the finals, ya gotta have faith baby!!
Lets go bucks!!
Hey J Dog!
Confession time. I have an office full of rabid Ohio State fans. I have a Florida / Georgetown final in my bracket just because I had to do something different for a chance to win.
Shhh. don't tell anyone.
Go Bucks!!!
Hey Otter,
Just between you & me I'd rather lose to G. town than get mauled by a Gator again.
It sure would be nice to go down to S.P. with some Nalt. Championship shirts.
I know I'm dreaming again!
The Gators & The Buckeyes again! Round 2
Heck yah -- time to even the score.
the gators are going to win, thats it plain and simple its in stone........
casa -- in "stone?" wow. there's a reason they play the game, as was evidenced in January between these two schools.
gators are unstoppable, they have got the best starting five in the nation......
hopefully the refs let them play ball tonite, and we get to see a good game. the games saturday were sort of disappointing.
In case you missed it above...
OSU 79
Gators 77
Yes, PLEASE no ticky tack bullsh*t
florida looks pretty tough......oden and especially conley need to have big games. conley has been cool as a cucumber and osu's best player.
Halftime. Gotta hand it to Florida. Buckeyes will have to take it up a notch. Florida is not dominating by any means -- it's all their perimeter shooting and Buckeyes have had good looks from 3 -- just can't hit.
yep well see how it goes, should have bet some money on this game........ there going to make history.......
Props due to the Gators. Gotta admit my Buckeyes were up to the challenge -- just not enough. Congrats!
That's one way of saying it.
Hey Otter, at least the Buckeyes got there!
I think Otter will be in withdrawing pain for a few days.
Damn wounds haven't healed from January. I'll be having traumatic flashbacks now every time I see a timeshare ad or a Disneyworld commercial. Too bad I have so much family in Florida or I would disown the state completely.
Don't hate me Otter, but GO GATORS!!!! (unless they are playing GA)
Go Royals!! What kind of dreamworld am I living in?
Otter, I stayed silent, hoping we would pull it out...I'm so exhausted!
At least they can't ever beat us at HoCaye in a Frozen Four!
