man, I've done my brackets a few times and I just don't like the way it comes out. So far I haven't really seen too many upsets. I'll have to throw some more in for fun.

I didn't have the gonads to pick WU. And they're winning 10 into the 1st half.

is anybody using march madness on demand at ncaa.com??? It is freaking awesome. Except the Winthrop game is blacked out here. Also it's got a "boss button". When you click on it it goes from the games to a screen that looks like you're working on a spreadsheet. Brilliant!

If you want to see a blacked out game, just register a second username for the service using a zipcode from the other side of the country or something. Then it'll associate you with a different affliate, and you can watch whatever games you'd like.

Oh, and Winthrop is down by 2 at the half. Go Winthrop, go.

I acutally thought of that since my buddy in college registered for MLBTV.com to watch all of his Indian games and then couldn't watch any of them because he registered in his hometown zip. The problem here is I didn't realize they'd be blacking anything out so if I sign up now, I wouldn't have VIP access. And VIP is way way better during peak watching time.

Go UT. Please beat Winthrop. Please. I'm begging.

I picked UW-Milwaukee to win and got that right but missed the Seton Hall game.

I have no problem with them winning. I have a problem with them punching one of my friends for no reason. I have a problem with them hitting a guy with a megaphone. I have a problem with them running over the coach's kid. I have a problem with their coach's wife going up to the opposing team's bench and yelling "We're gonna kick your a--." That's what I have a problem with. Their fans, mainly students, are what turned me off of Winthrop. Before that game I had no problem with them. So before you say sour grapes, learn the whole story. We beat them twice, had the best season in 12 years, there's nothing to have sour grapes about. They played better than us on that day and won fair and square.

I saw the way the fans acted. Especially at the end, there was one in particular that I wanted to strangle through the screen, he was being such a d----- bag. And as for Marshall's wife, we know, we know. Have you not heard the stories of her and her children (I think it was her children) getting a coke shower at our tournament game a few years back? She's almost worse than the man himself. But still, a WU win is huge for the conference. I'd be happy if Radford won a game in the tourney and I absolutely hate hate hate Radford, and their fans and their coach.

Even if they do win, the Shockers are going to pound WU. They looked VERY good. Elite 8 good.

Sign up now. It's amazing. Don't use the local zipcode of the team you want to see the most.
