Lord, I Was Born A Gamblin' Man
Dude, what would sports be without gambling? And how come UC-Boulder couldn't get a piece of the action right now? That place deserves an honorary mention at least. A 65th spot maybe? Pete Rose wannabes + recruiting orgies + giving tenure to Al Qaeda operatives = Final Four if you ask me. Anyhow, I can only assume you fools have whiled away just as much Company Time on your brackets as TPS reports so whaddya got?
Working forward people:
First round notables. I like Nevada over the Longhorns. BC's been flailing about of late like an altar boy in the Boston Archdiocese; watch Penn come outta nowhere on 'em. UCLA beats Tech and (mercifully) we'll be rid of that baroque sideshow Bobby Knight. The UNM Loblows take 'Nova -- I already bet Null a Hopi Indian on it. NC St. up on Charlotte. Other than that, favorites all around.
Final Four pics. Louisville on top of the Illini. UNC over Syracuse. Tar Heels take it all; Malisow wins the gay-off.
P.S. Me and Null have a running bet that I'll probably lose but we made it like a month ago. It's that the Pac 10 will get more wins than the Big East in the tourney. Haha. Go Cardinal!

To retort:
Nevada over the Longhorns would be great, as my hatred of the Big 12 is only bested by my hatred of the Pac-10. NC State over Charlotte.
BC will whip Penn and eventually lose to Illinois - A-C-C-U Later BC, the Big East doesn't need ship-jumpers like you.
Tech handily dismisses the Bruins, Bobby Knight eats a baby in celebration; Stanford dismissed by the Bulldogs; Arizona surprised by LSU in the 2nd Round and UW gets humiliated by Pitt, one of the chosen children of the Big East, in the 2nd round - and yes, there is an East Coast bias...
The only Big East team not to survive the first round is the Moutaineers - they peaked too early and Creighton will take them. Nova will whip the Lobos, and the Hopi and Zuni will dance the sacred rain dance no more.
Final Four? Illinois, Louisville, Kentucky, UNC with the Heels and the Illini duking it out, but Illinois winning by 9. P.S. Fuck Duke.
And let me extend a warm welcome to Louisville and Cincy into the Big East come next year - thanks for making our conference the most dominant force in college basketball.
And as for this gay-off, Serazio and Malisow will run to overtime, until the "Vietnam" (read: flaming) pants appear - Serazio takes home the Golden Feather Boa for this year folks...

An amusing sideshow:
Firstly I've decided to cease all wild gambling forays involving the first two rounds of the Big Dance. You learn, with age and experience, not to do these things.
Now that the field has been whittled down to 16 the Real track meat can get started. High speed, low drag, and an open throttle that too many teams were scared to try coming out of the frenzied gates of 64.
Ok, Duke and Kentucky are going to meet and while the college fan-base will praise this as the game of the tournament let me assure you that this game, in fact, has no redeeming qualities other than the fact that one of them WILL loose.
NC State is going to eat Wisconsin and if I were a Tar Heel fan then I'd be scared, very scared, of a Princeton offense and freak show like Hodge running the show...that's assuming UNC gets passed Villanova, which they will if they play like the semi-pro team that they really are.
That Albuquerque bracket is chalk full Johnny-come-lately pussies. UW is going to the final four, and shortly thereafter UWV gets slapped with some kind of recruiting violation along with massive post-season exemptions for the next 10 years. You heard it here first.
If, and I mean IF, Arizona can get by Oklahoma State (which will take a couple of overtimes by the way) they WILL administer a harsh whipping against Illinois. In order for Arizona to do this three things need to happen. 1) Salim needs to stay warm or even get hot. For those of you who don't see these games I swear on Mrs. Serazio there is nothing more entertaining than watching this fucking guy when he is ON. He stops looking to make passes, spots up a few feet behind the arc, and everyone starts making their way down court to play some "D" before the ball goes through the netting. It's freakish. 2) Channing Frye needs to grow-up, NOW. Even if he doesn't have a big game he needs to keep his head in it anyway. 3)For those of you who failed to see AZ against UAB you missed the Hassan Adams double-double show. The guy is half primate, half man, all Gazelle. He's the missing link in the evolutionary chain. He's by far the most talented athelete in the tournament. The question is: can he keep making plays happen? Or will he dissappear? We'll see...
My apologies to the legions of U of A fans that watched Illinois essentially embarrass them in the last 4 minutes. Thanks to U of A's inevitable crumble, you have nearly sealed the deal on a trip to Cancun for me, in celebration of the most brilliant picks ever. I must admit it though, I am thoroughly impressed by both the Pac-10 and the Big 10 this year, as my Big East bias most certainly blinded me in most of my picks.
