Tune in to the Basketball Station

[sarea]

This entry is for those of you following the hair-pulling that is going on right now, otherwise known as The Big Dance. I figure we all need a place to vent. All tourney-related comments welcome. We can brawl amongst ourselves.

That being said...

FLORIDA WTF IS THE MATTER WITH YOU GODDAMMIT YOU BUNCH OF @#$&@&!&! WANKERS!!!!!!!!!

*uses new PoA pic of Draco akscully found to make self feel better*

Edit: I'm using the Sports Illustrated page right now to keep up with all the games. If anyone has a better place to keep watch, let me know. I always find a great place every year, then forget where it was. CBS Sportsline is even better: http://www.sportsline.com/collegebasketball/scoreboard/

Edit 2: So. Fabulous.

I had Nevada pulling the upset, and THEY DID, after it looked hopeless. I bet this'll screw up a bunch of people's brackets. I am dancing for joy.

Gotta hand it to the casino state; they know how to make things interesting.

Well, Florida *HAS* lost in the first round each of the past three years.....

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

HAVE they? Jesus Christ, you'd think they'd get their act together. Wow, gee, now they're only 13 points behind. And WHY did I choose Charlotte for an upset? *beats self over the head*

[rainpuddle13.livejournal.com]

Hehe you should have consulted me first :)

If you have access to a radio - CBS stations usually broadcast on the lowest FM frequency - 87.7 - I'm listening to the broadcast at work right now.

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

I do have a radio in my office, but it's too distracting; I'd rather keep track of all the games at once through a live scoreboard.

At least I still have Maryland.

Florida is on my LIST. I had them going to the Sweet 16!!!!

[rainpuddle13.livejournal.com]

Maryland are punks.

I'm torn - my school VCU plays Wake Forest at 2:40pm.

I root for all ACC teams even if I hate them, because I like to keep national championships in conference at least.

VCU - Wake...*wibble*

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

I'm totally w/ you on the conference thing. Why else do you think I support Stanford?

I'm afraid all the brackets I've got in front of me have WF moving on...

But I need that, given two of my teams just choked. :-l x 1000000000

[rainpuddle13.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't worry too much about VCU. Unless Wake just totally doesn't show up or a mircle happens for VCU. It shouldn't be too much of a contest...*sniffles*

At least we made it with our shiny second year ex-Duke player coach :)


And make the four years in a row for first year bow for Florida.....

Oh, if only I cared about March Madness. Alas, my interest is less than zero.

Now he looks kind of dorky. Thanks for using that icon, Sarea. :-l

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

What, NOW he looks dorky??? Maybe I shouldn't have taken him out of the bubble.

I don't know how we can continue to be friends, as we find that more and more, we don't have anything in common.

[akscully.livejournal.com]

The bubble was the key, I think.

What, because I don't like March Madness? We'll be like 95% of heterosexual marriages then. It's perfectly normal.

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

There's your damn bubble.

You and Jade are such girls.

[akscully.livejournal.com]

So much better!

That's why I'll be wearing the dress.

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

I think the icon says it all.

[akscully.livejournal.com]

You can't hide your love, Sarea Okelani!

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

OMG don't do this to me, Maryland. *weeps uncontrollably*

[rainpuddle13.livejournal.com]

Maryland has to be the world's luckiest bunch of bastards

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

Seriously. And may I just say, all the teams Jade has chosen so far have lost. What I should have done was create a bracket doing everything the opposite of what she said, and then maybe I would have had myself a winner. <g>

[rainpuddle13.livejournal.com]

I go with the tried and true method of picking team colors if I'm not sure about the teams, but I know tourny history, percentages and I watch as much conference tourny as I can to make my decision.

VCU is getting cut down pretty quickly.

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

I know less about the teams in this tourney than I have in any previous tourney since I started watching/caring.

And wheeeee, go Alabama!!!!!

[rainpuddle13.livejournal.com]

Well, VCU is hanging tough now...

What might be the factor is VCU can shoot lights out from the trifecta. >:)

You know, I'll be home for the 7:10 start time for Duke *dance*

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

VCU is hanging tough now...

Yeah, you're not kidding. I'm glad I don't have Wake going beyond the next round.

And woohoo Alabama, squeaking out the win.

I am very annoyed that Valparaiso's cable company is not airing the Valparaiso v. Gonzaga game!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

There, that's my venting. :D

[sarea-okelani.livejournal.com]

I HATE that. It's like, do your local job!! Jeez.
