“Upsets?

Kansas falls to Maryland in the sweet sixteen.”

“"The People's Republic of Kansas want Mommy Government"?

Ethically, I can't root for that.


But in order to take pity on anyone who lives in Kansas, I can root for some spark of happiness in their otherwise gray and dreary lives.

ROCK CHALK ...”

This is my 1st brackett”

“So far I am perfect in one of my brackets after 3 games.

Go Murray State!”

“Go Murray State!”
Wounded Knee F U!!! go dogs!!!

i was very impressed with their play today.. down by 9 at halftime and then they killed utep.. well done..

another surprise to me today was osu moving on.. they were tough in the big11 tourney too.”

“hmm, that vandy pick is not looking so good”

“Gtown killed me last night as I am sure it killed others.”

“Lots of bracket busting action in this tourny.”

“The Big East whupped my bracket like a puppy who peed on the carpet. (Not that Arclite would condone that kind of activity.) I shouldn't have listened to all of the east-coast bias. I only blame myself, (O.K., I blame Violin too, for everything bad that ever happened to me.)
Rock Chalk Jayhawk today against N. Iowa. Could be a good game, but I think after the poor showing on Thursday that KU will take care of business.
Pac 10 at 100%. Big East at 50%. Sports prognosticators must have been prognosticating too much and have hair on their palms.
Good luck to everyone.
BTW, I have the Jayhawks beating the Wildcats twice in one tournament.”

“Another one bites the dust. And Kansas is GONE!”

“Sorry Dunadan.

Regular old Iowa, not the northern variety, sent my beloved Lady Knights packing in the first round.

Buy you a beer sailor?”

“WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH KANSAS?

Holy Cow! Dunadan, I'm sorry your team got upset. If I followed basketball at all, I would root for Kansas to win it all.

Ditto on violin's sentiment. I swear I'll be riding through your beautiful prairie state in the next few years and I will stop to buy you a cold glass of milk.”

“both boilers and bulldogs are through to the sweet 16. :)”

“KU was the big winner in my bracket. Does that make me the biggest loser?”

“There is much wailing and gnashing of teeth in the old hometown these days. I appreciate the sympathy from everyone.
Like I've been saying all season long, KU has yet to put together a good game and now they will not get another chance this season. When Coach Self finally put them into desperation mode, they almost got it done. In any case, I think it behooves any teams to look out for the Missouri Valley teams because they always have something to prove.
Congratulations to the Boilers. I had them winning their first game but didn't think they could pull it out in the second round.
Violin, I'll take you up on that beer. The Lady Jayhawks were on their way to a good season when two starters went down with torn ACL's.
Arc, make that soy milk. We are keeping the apartment above the garage warm for you. Our existence will be grey and drab until you arrive with some of that Florida sunshine.
Day, and everyone else who picked KU to go all the way, my apologies.
It's BASEBALL SEASON!!!”

“Damn, the things we do to our kids.





cute kids btw.”

“The wife must be very very good looking. ;-)”

“O.K. I'm cheering for: 1. Kansas State. I'm just glad some team with the name "Kansas" is still in the tournament. 2. Baylor. Big 12.
3. Purdue. I will hug every Boiler fan if they beat Duke.
4. Northern Iowa. Would love to see a Missouri Valley team go deep in the tourney.
Good luck to everyone who still has a team in the running. Wait til next year! KU all the way!”

“So long Ohio State! UT makes the elite 8 for the first time in school history and have a good shot at the final four.”

“Guess I will not get a hug from D. I said we need to keep Puke under 60 points. Hopefully Johnson and Moore don't decide to turn pro because Hummel will be back for his senior year.

BOILER UP!”

“Mountaineers lay waste to Calipari.

I don't know why Kentucky fans are so anxious to hang banners in Rupp Arena. Give Calipari a few years and they will all have to be taken down anyway.”

“how about Bulldog up? how cool is that? :)”

“Today, in Jackson, MS, I will be singing Rocky Top when the Vols take on the Spartans.

I wonder if this town is ready for a Big Orange assault?”

“Congrats to the Vols. I'd better get off of TT and watch the game to see if the Big 10 or the SEC prevails.
Bulldogs up!”

“Holy cow I am in heart attack mode

Its gonna be close”

“And the MSU SPARTANS are the WINNERS!!

Holy cow, it was sooo close (in score at least)!”

“That was a barn burner

Congrats to the Spartans”

“this should be an interesting final 4.. glad to see KS and KY out sitting at home.. i'm little surprised to see state in it.. and hope the mountaineers knock off blue devils.

go dogs!!! :)”

“UT/Mich St game was an awesome game. Congrats to Mich St and for the Vols getting to the Elite Eight fo the 1st time”

“I was actually pulling for UT. I started doing yardwork at halftime though and missed the big finish.”

“I was actually pulling for UT. I started doing yardwork at halftime though and missed the big finish.

Ugh. I'm willing to commiserate with the UT fans, but they signed their death warrant when they embraced Pearl. Their only hope is that they can skate through the system like Calipari has.”

“But UT still has weapons: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRTU4egxCMw&feature=related”

“LOL! good one.”

“C'mon Butler!”

“Wow, whata game. I was pulling for Butler.”

“WOW. i fully expected duke to pull away at any minute. it's just too bad butler doesnt have an offense to go with that smothering defense”

“Yes, they missed tons and tons of close shots.”

“butler really proved that they belonged there”

“They will be an interesting team next year as they only loose one player due to graduation.”

“That was a great game! I kinda pulled for Duke, but you gotta give Butler credit and that last second shot, that was so close. It could have gone either way.”

“Wow - what a great game. I was rooting for Butler ~ I like the Cinderella story. Either team deserved that win though.”

“Great game. I thought Duke was going to put them away, but Butler came back, but not enough. If only Butler had of hit more shots that were easy.”

“*cough*Matt Howard*cough*

Not that the loss is his fault by any means but he did miss a bunch of "easy" shots in the beginning of the first half.”

“He did, and dude is a bull in a China shop. If he could play more than 8 minutes per half without getting in foul trouble then he'd be hell to deal with.”
