I'm in but I won't be reading much until basketball is over. LOL

I just glanced at it. Very nice look, my friend. I will read more when some movie/entertainment stuff is up, since I'm not much of a sports person...

[geezer9687]

There will definitely be plenty of movie stuff on there, I just wanted to get my basketball picks up before the tourny kicked off. Thanks for the interest guys.

I like the first issue but I'll probably need to make our conversation on Monday public.

-Pitt won't be in the Final Four. They have a history of choking in the tournament and I'm still trying to figure out how they got a one seed over Memphis.
-Mizzou is a year away. This is their first tournament appearance in a number of years and many of these players have never seen NIT, let alone NCAA tournament experience. Plus like Pitt, they too have a history of choking.
-North Carolina is not dead. Sure they lost Lawson (or whatever his name is) but they've still got Hansborough and this is basically "Win One For Tyler" at this point.
-I can't see Temple escaping the first round. Their coach is 1-10 in tournament games and the team itself will probably never reach of those days of the John Chaney teams again.
-I really don't understand what the big deal is about USC. Their coach is one of the most overrated in college basketball and wasn't the team that lost in the first round last year supposed to be better than this team?
-Michigan won't go past the first round either. Just like Mizzou, they haven't been in the tournament in forever and they are also "not ready for prime time".
-I also can't see Minnesota or Utah State going anywhere.
-And I may be the only person who has Siena beating Ohio State in the first round. This is just like the Arkansas-Bucknell game a few years back where everyone (except me) picked Arkansas and Bucknell won the game. Siena has something to prove with the nine seed while Ohio State is another Big Ten also-ran who's lucky to even be in the tournament. But then again, I hate most of the Big Ten and can't understand its popularity when in actuality they are a middle-of-the-pack football and basketball conference where the same teams always finish in the same positions every year.

Buscemi, you should join and post that as a comment on the blog. And I actually see more experts picking Sienna than Ohio state in the first round.

P.S. I changed the layout, I think this one is better.

I'm now following the blog as Many Aliases But Only One Me while commenting as Clarence Boddicker.

will check it out for sure geez. i also dont think pitt has a very good chance. and i am the only that thinks Memphis will get bounced pretty early?

[Donte77]

I have Memphis losing to Marguette in the third round after Marguette beats Missouri.

[Donte77]

Wow what a Debbie Downer. My 700th post was about basketball.

You are turning into such a jock, Donte...

[Donte77]

I know!!!

And I have 13 correct picks so far. LOL

I bet I am winning!

[geezer9687]

If anyone else wants to take a look at my South Park Script, its done. Unless I need to make any changes based on feedback. Leave me your email and I'll send you a copy. Feedback is very welcome.

And Donte, your bracket might be the worst I've ever seen. Although Marquette almost made you look like a genius.

Oh boy, where to start......

Not sure how Pitt got a 1 seed? How about only losing 4 games all season in the toughest conference in America? How about beating Connecticut twice in the same season?

Looks like Mizzou and Pitt haven't choked yet although both looked like they surely tried (Pitt Vs. ETSU and Mizzou Vs. Marquette), and as for Pitt choking, just like the stock market, past results are not indicative of future perfomance.

North Carolina looked very beatable this weekend as did Louisville. If I'm an NC opponent, I'm more worried about Lawson being back than I am about Hansborough. What an over rated piece of crap. There are no other dominant big men in the ACC so on most nights, he has free reign in the paint.

Looks like both USC and Michigan got past the first round with USC almost pulling it out against Michigan State.

Not sure who all of these people that you thought were picking Ohio State. Most people I know all had Sienna moving on in that one.

Western Kentucky got totally jobbed at the end Vs. Gonzaga. Even on TV, you can see the coach calling a TO. You can't tell methat not one ref saw him do it.

My calls for the next round: Syarcuse takes out Oklahoma and Villanova takes out Duke.

[geezer9687]

I agree with everything you said Keyser. Except for the Villanova over Duke part. I think Duke moves on over Nova.

[transformers2]

i got Nova over duke and Oklahoma over Syarcuse also an upset Mizzou over Memphis.
