I find it amusing when these idiot analysts say "Drexel beat so and so", "Cuse beat so and so..."

But then fail to mention who they lost to. Sorry, if you beat #30 in the RPI and then lose to #250, you don't get any credit.

Stanford lost 6 of their 9 games and got in

For the same reason (limping to the finish line), I was surprised that Butler got a 5-seed. I think that's high. They had a tremendous run at the beginning and they are obviously getting the most of that because they have not been the same team over the past few weeks.

Ditto. Got to see if I can track down an "Orange Crush" tee by Friday. Or maybe an Illiniwek headdress. :banger:


I was in Vegas two years ago for the 1st and 2nd round games of the tournament and couldn't believe how may Illini fans were there. They were all great guys and treated me well considering Matt Sylvester broke their hearts just a few weeks before. I even got most of 'em doing the "O-H-I-O" during a rendition of Hang on Sloopy at the paino bar in Harrah's.

I was an adopted member of the "Orange Crush" crew that weekend.

I want to see Noah bitch about not getting respect now.

No kidding. UF is getting a heck of a lot of credit for running through three pathetic teams (Georgia, Ole Miss, and Arkansas) in their conference tournament. That would be like OSU fans bragging if we would've won the Big Ten tourney by beating scUM, Iowa, and Illinois.

I loved the fact that, when shown on the selection show, the Buckeyes didn't stand up and hoot and holler. They sat still and gave tight smiles and polite golf claps. That tells me they're pissed as hell at the seeding and plan on doing something about it! Go Bucks!

BTW, fuck Noah. Seriously. He grew up wealthy as shit, went to some of the best schools in NYC, yet he talks like he grew up in the Robert Taylor Projects--what a pathetic gangsta wannabe! BTW, his mother was Miss Sweden:bonk: Nothing gansta 'bout that.
