Wow!  Just missed a bunch of the games yesterday and am already soooooo out of the pool...my top team is still alive and if they win it, well...I'm the only one who picked 'em and probably, the only one in the nation... the Big Ten is really surprising me... Ohio St , Illinois , Michigan , and Purdue all won...and I had 'em mostly losing...bam, I'm gone...and the Pac 10 ...surprise also, UCLA , Arizona , and Washington all won...bam, I'm gone...poo, poor, pitiful me... Can not fathom the destruction of mother nature ...the poor country of Japan ... We found a wonderful area that we knew little about, last night... University Heights ...quaint and charming...eegads, did I say that? You know I'm big on this...what the odds guys are saying about the Big Dance today...all the mismatches are gone... SDS by 5 1/2 over Temple , and a very, very, strange one... the Zags only by 1 over BYU ...all the rest, goooood games...enjoy...

Bracket Mania

Image
So how's your bracket going?  Solid here, with the exception of the crazy Southwest Regional... Moorehead St ?  OK, some early on observations... the Big East and Big Te n, I told you so, East Coast crap ...wow, look at UCLA almost look like a team...Jimmer and BYU won against an awful, awful Woofy team ...and Jimmer's defense is like "ole!". ..worst I've seen for a hyped up player forever... SDS played well and have just scratched the surface...the Zags looked tough, kids...as did Florida ...so early...and the beat goes on today... Idol thoughts...or is that idle thoughts...the bottom 3 all being gals...interesting...I thought that the wrong one got booted but...the other 2 have the next weeks to fear...did you go on to Itune s and listen?  Pia is the chosen one...right now...it also is early... Libya ...no fly zone?  Ghadafi is a crazed ruler who will stop at nothing to prolong his leadership...or whatever you call it...and I mean nothing... Jap...

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Of course, it is a happy day... Your bracket is set and now just sit back and see what gives in the Big Dance. ..contenders, pretenders, suspenders, and all the like...still baffled by UNC ... Way away from that...my take on Idol ...there are 5 or 6 of these kids who are darn good...and how do the people see 'em...and they did better than last week, so says me...here goes...It's Pia's to lose...she has great looks, range, and is my top pick...the 2 country twangers ...they both are winners and will sign on for cd's, I really believe this...whether they win this or not... Adam and Jacob are solid and fun to listen to...so, I guess I'm saying 5, oops, forgot the rocker , he figures in...so that is 6 ...go to Itunes and listen to them in studio and you'll see... NBA ... the Heat lose at home to the Thunder (Supersonics) ...they are just not what the public thinks they are... Bosh is way over-rated...and King James is a plodder...sorry but true... DWade...

Here's Your Sign

Image
I'm going to NOT try to sound too optimistic here...but the PDX Blazers are becoming the REAL DEAL ...the parts are finally fitting...couple that with the reemergence of the knee brittled Brandon Roy ...it is a good thing...beating the Mavs last night was a huge step in their prep to the playoffs...as Chris Webb so adeptly said, "I wouldn't want to play the Trailblazers in the playoffs, NOW !"  I'm agreeing... Here's you sign ...I'm talking the point spread ...yup, this is the final guide to picking your bracket correctly...the teams that have the largest point spread are as follows... Ohio St. by 30, Kansas by 22 1/2, Duke by 22 1/2, North Carolina by 17 1/2, Pitt by 16, and SDSU bu 15 1/2...how interesting is this... the Tar Heels the 4th top!   The betting guys have something diff than the tourney committee... Now, the real signs. ..some games that pop at you... KSU over Utah St. by only 2 ...West Virginia over Clemson by only 1, Mich St...

Here's Your Guide

OK, kids, here it is...your guide to picking the right or correct winners in the Big Dance...and sure, you can thank me later... 1st of all the ridiculous play in games that go on today...do they ever figure past the initial game?  Naw...but they think that it will make 'em feel like they made it...it is another way to get the Big East and Big Ten more opps to get their teams in...you do know who is the leader of the NCAA, right?  None other than the baddest of all bad, the President of Ohio St.,E. Gordon Gee...famous for calling out that Boise St. is not on par with the major players in football...yup, he's the leader...and how is he going to handle the mess he has in his own house in football..stay tuned for that...I digress... The East...it has the aforementioned Ohio St. in it...but, my choices are away from them...I like Kentucky, Syracuse, and my long shot is Georgia... The Southeast...weakest of all regions...watch out for Florida, Pitt, and my long shot, BYU...and w...

Hoop justice?

Whenever you get something as arbitrary as a who played who thing, to guide you in picking the seed number for the teams...well...it is a playoff, right?  It seems like that is what the state of Orygun is doing with their high school system...ranking according to something...a lot of jibberish here...I'm not a fan of the weighted style used...of course it's all about the money...for some reason it's a point in hoops and not in football...well, it is what it is...let's talk the MWC...two great seeds in SDS and BYU...only one other team gets in and ELEVEN out of the Big East...I call crap on that... TV land...have you watched any of the Trump thing?  I absolutely despise the lady called Star...so full of herself and what a piece of dung she is... Big Love has but the finale to go...and it's a doozy kids... I went golfing today and it was hot, hot...and I was not, not...

And now the wait

Just a marvelous win by the Aztecs as they completely dominated the Cougars in the MWC title game...and...both teams will get a decent seed...not thinking much higher than 2...and you know why...geez, it's hard to find them on the tube...it's not like the Pac 10 that has the major network nailed down...the seeding show is on in the afternoon... PGA...the best of best, right now...are at the top of the Cadillac in Miami...Dustin Johnson, Luke Donald, Matt Kuchar, amongst others will be vieing for the crown...while the TV (Golf Channel) will get a bunch of looks 'cuz they got Tiger and Lefty playing for 20th or whatever...it was a no cut tourney...nice... OK, I may have been wrong about the Lakers , but not about their PG...they are winning but Fisher has been playing less and less...and contributing less and less...PDX stumbled at the end of their road trip, this time to the Hawks....a team I can't figure out... Such a tragedy in Japan ...losses at more than 10,0...
