FSU all the way Baby!! :)
I am with you Jason! Go Noles!!
3 for 3 so far with my bracket... :)
7 and 1. Next year an MJ bracket contest?
12 out of 16 on day one... The only real upset was WKU over Illinois.
FSU plays Wisconisn tonight, 9:55pm. Out in Boise (ehh).
FSU 69
Wis 57
Wow... Marquette squeaks out a win...
My bracket is 18 - 2...woohoo
Mine is not quite so good but no bracket buster yet...
As an FSU fan and a tournament lover in general, dare I dream as Pitt is only up by 1 point in East Tennessee State with a minute to go in the first half? Naaaahhhh. If JU were playing Pitt instead, would it be a 1 point game? Naaahhhh.
I was very disappointed in American's composure during the last 8 minute stretch yesterday. They really could've pulled the shocker. I missed VCU's game against UCLA...that would've been a major letdown had I seen that as well.
I hope FSU wins. I don't want Douglas to leave without tasting victory in the tourney. He's a fighter...no real pretty skills but he can carry the team with brute strength. Reminds me of Tim Pickett (was that his name? totally pulling that one out of the far regions of my brain) in that sense, but he's got some solid front court players to go along with that now. I dont trust Derwin Kitchen with the dribble though, and Wisconsin has been really strong at certain points this year, so I am not THAT confident.
Woo...will be nice seeing the garnet and gold back in the big dance, though!

Argh!! JU...what happened to them?! I was so disappointed...two years in a row now, so close and yet so far. I hope they keep building in the right direction and get back to those glory years in the 70s. Playing in the tourney would've been a nice way to keep up that momentum...rather than getting blown out at UF.
whooo...how bout the Siena-OSU game going on at the same time as this FSU-UW one!! I dont think this is good for my poor heart...
Most brackets took a beating today! :D
22 of 32 correct with my elite eight still intact. :)
24 of 32 only 6 of the 8
I've got a few brackets. In one I got 26 out of 32 that puts me in Yahoo's 93rd percentile. Unfortunately, in that bracket I put Clemson all the way into the championship. :-[
All my other brackets are done...with my final 4, 8, and even 16 pretty ravaged. BTW, I made my picks on Thursday morning frantically and randomly cause I had forgotten to do it all week.
Some great games today! I have 14 of 16 still in sweet 16 and entire elite eight. This has been my best bracket in a couple years. :)
Wake and FSU screwed me this weekend, but I picked Memphis to beat Villanova for the Championship...fingers crossed!
for those of you have asked when Jax. would host NCAA games again, the answer is 2010...ticket reservation starts this weekend.
I went last time they were here... had a blast! No beer inside though... :'(
No beer at any college sporting event I've ever been to...tis the rules I believe.
There was beer on the club level. The company I worked for at the time had a box. Probably won't be so lucky next time.

not sure who asked that :) well, i do remember we had another thread going about jax hosting the tourney, and if that meant we could ever get the ACC tourney here (no, at least not in the veterans)

Yep, I believe there was beer on the club level at the UF-UCF game back in December.
Wow... I can usually find any beer vendor within a mile... :D :o

not true....certain schools and conferences have a rule....for example, beer was not sold at the FSU-Alabama game here in 2007 because the SEC does not allow it....but was sold at the FSU-Colorado game in 2008.
As for the NCAA tournament, you are correct....no beer sales are allowed in general seating areas.
Yawn, is there a paint watching show on, all of the top seeds have made it so far. So much for Cindarella.
Seriously...and there have been some HUGE margins of victory, too. Not much drama this year and my bracket is screwed. Villanova is my only hope.
I have no hope I am currently 30th in a 50 person pool.

I agree that this year's March madness is pretty boring so far. The only decent game yesterday was the KU v. Michigan State game.
Looks like the people who did the seeding have figured out the science.
Villanova Pitt game was great. Earth Hour was ignored in favor of the game... Who would schedule Earth Hour during March Madness??? :o ??? ::) :D
#1 seed Louisville falls hard to MSU...
MSU - UConn game was pretty good... a mild upset. The NC game was a yawner... :P
