Poor poor UGA and GMU :( Sigh. I can has SEC win championship please?

:::::::::::calling for a translator:::::::::::::

Heehee, it's lolcat speak: Can I please have an SEC team win the NCAA tourney?

What, no love for the CAA? ;)

THAT goes without saying :cool:

Dear TSteven,

My condolences on your recent loss. Your Cats played a lovely game and they are one of our favorite March opponents.

M-U RAH-RAH!

Well, unless Tennessee wakes up they may end up being completely "Belmonted" by American within the hour.

Yawn.
 

What, huh? We're awake! :)

And we have our first "upset" of the tournament. Drake just lost in OT to Western Kentucky. My bracket is officially busted!

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! The only upset that's panned out for me today.

Thanks. I am so proud of my Cats. Not only for their hard play yesterday, but for the whole season. I do find comfort in what former Marquette Coach Al McGuire said regarding Kentucky's Basketball Tradition: "They had it before you, they had it during you, they'll have it when you're gone..."

Best of luck versus Stanford tomorrow.

Ditto. Beat that Tree!

I love it when Marquette plays Kentucky - it's always a well-played game because the teams are pretty well matched up and it's a fun rivalry. :)

Message from Tar Heel Nation: ALL YOUR TEAMS SUCK!!!!!

Love (your eventual national champs),

Woooooooooo, Pig! Sooie!

Razorbacks!! :cool:

Man that was tough for A&M. At least UCLA players and fans have given me a school to cheer AGAINST during the remainder of the tourney.

Talking about fans and cheer leaders:

I'm sure the movie set in question was "Kiss The Girls" which was filmed in Durham and near UNC in Chapel Hill (wonder what she would've said if they offered her a Blue Devils jacket!!). Either way, the poor Wildacats are licking their wounds from being bounced out of another tournament :)

As for the Hogs of Arkansas, the only thing they have done well was stop Dook from winning the title in 1994.

She's head over heels for UNC
 

1. Don't tempt fate. Ask dUKe for details.


Best quote from yesterday's tournament (and there's plenty more where this comes from!) Duke ousted, then blasted: Reserve Cam Thoroughman asked if Duke guard Greg Paulus was one of the eight McDonald's All-Americans. When told yes, Thoroughman said: "Are you kidding?"

And where's your Pigs now????

For you Carolina viewing pleasure:

and the ecstasy! GO HEELS!!!!

I did not attend the University of Arkansas. Nor do I have any Pigs.

Where did everybody go? Everyone's bracket can't possibly be busted.

I'm still here. Truly perplexed that I'm still #1 after two weekends, but still here.

Again I say....

four number 1 seeds!!!
 

Tar Heels and Tigers and Bears! OH MY!!!

My heart breaks to even be typing this. Please allow me to share a little about one of the most beloved members of the University of Kentucky basketball family.

You obviously don't know about the SI cover jinx, do you? :p

I was just sitting here thinking the exact same thing.

I was also thinking "that guy looks scary-possessed."

Well, it is Tyler Hansborough. :D

Hence the nickname "PSYCHO T"! BTW, This isn't Tyler's first SI cover. He was the "cover boy" on the Nov. 2006 issue (see below), and he was on the cover of last month's SI for Kids magazine. Not to mention two Sporting News covers, as he is their pick for player of the year, too. :)

Freeze to death, huh? Well, babe, you didn't look too cold in this calendar. In fact, you looked the opposite:




http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/sports...udd_051107.jpg

Note how they list her as an "alumnus" when at the time she didn't even graduate! It wasn't untill 2007 that she got her BA in French. We Pirates don't go around calling Sandra Bullock an alumnus just so East Carolina can have "street cred". Shameless.

Alumnus (and the various forms) is correctly used to refer to someone who has attended the school - regardless if they have graduated or not.

So yeah, the Cool Cats got it right.

Tsteven is correct.

THE COVER JINX StILL LIVES! I was so enjoying watching them choke tonight against Kansas. :D

Who cares at this point if my brackets are totally busted. Tonight was worth it!

With appropriate regards to pirate, because I know your pain all too well (can you say Georgetown 1984?)

YEAH! Not only did UNC go DOWN, I just won a bracket pool!

I am so VERY PROUD! And, what I find so interesting is how NOW some sports writers want to change their tune. MEMPHIS has continued to play AS A TEAM through all of this continued hatred. But, as we all know...the best revenge is proving those haters wrong. One by one...MEMPHIS is doing just that. People can hate all they want, but they are hating us right to the National Championship.

Kansas...please come with your A game and be ready to RUN. You all lucked up an caught UNC slipping but please believe MEMPHIS is not concerned with the prestige of the name on your jersey or the PAST success of your program. If you are going to win, you WILL have to WORK for it now, and that includes stopping more that just Rose or CDR b/c the bench is deep enough for another to step up...and they will.

UNC's problem last nite was that throughout the tournament, they have been playing teams that couldn't challenge them anymore if they played with their eyes closed. Then they played Kansas and couldn't react--NOBODY expected Kansas to win. How in the world do you come back within 5 points and still end up getting beat by 18 pts? So, this should be a lesson that during March...EVERYONE is BEATABLE by ANYBODY! Ask Duke....
