I’ll be listening to see if Gus says anything about a “passion bucket”.

It's a bonus, basically
Get a bracket into an office pool before that game and you can pick up a point if you get it.

Would love this upset.
I didn’t have Nova getting that far anyways and I hate the Big East bias.

You guys see Hamilton said he wanted to double the NCAAT to 128 teams?

Well it’d make his job easier. Fans complacent enough to say “well, we make the tournament more times than not.”
>>---l>
No kidding, but then I'd raise my expectations from just making it (for now) to getting to AT LEAST the round of 64.
And I’d expect any “bonus” money for making the NCAAT to be removed and put into the round of 64 slot.
Double down
Leonard Hamilton, the Florida State coach, is not only for expansion of the tournament to 96 teams. He doesn’t see why it shouldn’t just go another full weekend, to 128.
The Seminoles tied in the Atlantic Coast Conference at 10-6 with Virginia Tech, but the Hokies were left out of the field.
“I think you ought to just double it,” Hamilton said, referring to Tech, “so you take a lot of those scenarios out of the game.”

Fwiw, the article is about splitting basketball into a DI-A and DI-AA like football.
It pretty much keeps any conference that has a member capable of making a sweet sixteen run in DI-A (Horizon, A10, West Coast, Missouri Valley, Colonial, etc.) and would essentially split the DI-A field in half.

This Linux User Thanks You!
I have no cable tv and so many sports streams use the Microsoft Silverlight app. So I am VERY glad to see you have this deal to stream the games from your site with the Flash player. THANKS!!!
Ubuntu? or..?
Been booting a linux on at least one machine since the last zipslack version circa ’97 I think

Yes Ubuntu
Been running Ubuntu since 2005 v.5.04. Currently have 9.04. Will do a fresh install when 10.04 comes out. Will never go back to that other OS. Good to see another Linux user here.
Hell of a start to the tourney...
getting me very excited for the rest of the weekend…

I’m beyond pissed right now.

I thought Vandy would nut up and get tough.
When they shoot well, they win. When they don’t guard the damn point guard on their opponents team, they lose.

Damn, man. I guess that's what happens when you bet w/ your heart and not your head.
I also have FSU beating Old Dominion for the Championship.

Out of curiousity, who do we drop in the sweet 16? Murray St?

Wow.
Well…it appears that you’re still in good shape. Nicely done.

Can I just point out that the teams that the almighty Kentucky struggled with are now one-and-done.
Seriously. Kentucky’s competition this year has been average at best. I think they go down before the Final 4
by Randall W. Spetman on Mar 18, 2010 4:56 PM EDT reply actions
They just look so much slower than the other teams...
Then again, let’s not lose perspective here.

That was ridiculous.
That’s one of the most significant halftime adjustments I’ve ever seen. They looked like a different team

Bryce Brown evidently is no longer at UT

Go Bobcats! If they beat G'Town, those students will burn down Athens, OH. That is

So ...I'm a round one and done.
Vandy and Nova pfft. Least I picked the St Mary’s upset. And Old Dominion. But Murray St and Robert Morris…wow.
And that’s just the first night and it’s not even done.

I can understand it if you said “Ohio State, their teams and fans”.

Didn't think you went into such great detail.
And I understand the rivalry between OSU and UM but I don’t think most people hate the state and everything associated with the STATE (not the school, but the state).
I did most of my growing up in Ohio, am not an Ohio State fan, and dislike them and their fans as much as Florida and Miami. But I think it’s a bit extreme to hate, say, Cedar Point because it’s in the same state that OSU is located.

Any state with Detroit in it should be immediately nuked for morbid. The state should be uninhabitable for 50,000 years, in the hopes that the stink of Detroit is gone by then.

I agree. There are some instances where one team doesn't even have possession. Instead, they are on the ground trying to wrestle the ball away
yet do to the possession arrow they end up with the ball.
I hear that. Possession arrow does suck. Lets start a facebook site.
All is not lost; the unconquerable will/And courage never to submit or yield.
No idea why they don't foul with time left on the clock...like 25 secs or so?
"I am not now at all sure that the tendency to treat the whole thing as a kind of vast game is really good - certainly not for me who find that kind of thing only too fatally attractive." - J R R Tolkein
guess it's all about confidence in your defense...FSU maybe I don't foul...Marquette against a taller team...gotta foul in that situation I think

U of Washington wins.
So now the PAC-10 doesn’t suck.

Wake, 18-7. The way Texas was playing the last couple months, maybe they should
have just gone to the NIT instead.

Have we decided whether or not the SEC sucks yet?
I think we can definitely say that should UT get dropped.

UK stands apart from the rest of the conference. While the SEC sucks, UK does not. We as FSU fans should remember how that works. That’s was our life in the 90’s.

Wake's chances against Kentucky?
If that team plays like they can…
I dunno guys, Woods/Aminu can handle Cousins/Bledsoe….If Ish Smith can contain Wall.
Can you smell it?
by Randall W. Spetman on Mar 19, 2010 1:06 AM EDT reply actions
I think it is entirely possible
Kentucky seems to be a little overconfident and I could see them taking Wake lightly and getting upset, or at least having a very tight game.
Two things:
Why the f is CBS showing Minnesota/Xavier in southwest Florida? Put on the damn West Virginia/Morgan State game. It’s a 2 seed and they’re losing!
And the commercials with the guy from Flight of the Concords (or whatever that show’s called) are pretty funny.

ACC has some tough matchups.
Clemson/Missouri
Florida State/Gonzaga
Wake Forest/Texas
Georgia Tech/Oklahoma State
Only Clemson has the higher seed (7/10). Wouldn’t surprise me at all if we only go 3-3 in the opening round (WFU, Duke, UMD with the wins).
