Kotsay with 3 SB now this spring. Is his speed back to above average again or is that just misleading?

QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Mar 16, 2010 -> 12:52 PM) Kansas, Cuse, WVU Undecided on Duke v Baylor. Kansas, Cuse Kansas That can't happen

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 15, 2010 -> 08:16 PM) Texas has to beat Wake first. And I personally have Wake over Texas, that being said, I think that 2nd game whether it's Texas or Wake is going to be Kentucky's most difficult test until the final four(yes, much more than WVU who I don't think is getting passed the first weekend). You really think WVU is going to lose to Missouri?

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Mar 15, 2010 -> 11:35 PM) I just don't see how Villanova is viewed in a better light than Baylor. Baylor, 25-7, losses Colorado, Alabama, Kansas, KSU X 2, Oklahoma State, and Texas A&M. No losses by more than 7 points. Wins over Xavier, Arizona State, Morgan State, Jackson State, Texas Tech X 2, Oklahoma State, Texas X 3, Mizzou, and Texas A&M. Villanova, 24-7, losses Temple, Georgetown, Connecticut, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, West Virginia, Marquette. 18 point loss, 13 point loss, and 10 point loss. Wins over Dayton, Mississippi, Maryland, Marquette X 2, Louisville, Georgetown, Notre Dame, West Virginia, Seton Hall, South Florida, Cincinatti Baylor, 9 NCAA wins, 3 NIT wins, 7 losses by 39 points total Nova, 7 NCAA wins, 5 NIT wins, 7 losses by 61 points total Baylor has legit 1-5 starters. Nova's guards won't intimidate Tweety Carter, Lacedarius Dunn, and Quincy Acy, and Baylor clearly has the edge down low with Udoh and Lomers. I don't think people realize just how good Baylor is and just how much talent they have accumulated. I think that is your reason. Plus, everyone who remotely follows college basketball knows Nova. They know they are very much like the team that went to the Final Four last year and everyone knows Scottie Reynolds. Also, Villanova has no bad losses; you could argue Baylor has a couple. That being said, I have Nova advancing out of that region. I just love their guards and if they are on their game, which they havent been at all times lately, I just dont see them losing until Indianapolis.

QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Mar 15, 2010 -> 11:06 PM) Woot, at least I can hear my team lose with a great announcer. I actually think FSU will give Gonzaga fits with their defense. But as for UNLV-UNI, I'm also leading towards UNLV. Their quickness and athleticisim is going to pose a major problem for UNI. I also agree that the UTEP-Butler winner will get past Vandy.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 15, 2010 -> 05:52 PM) repeat-offender Which means nothing. See Steve Downie, Matt Cooke, Jarko Ruutu, Patrick Kaleta etc... By the way, great article about the Ovechkin suspension and how retarded the league (Campbell) is. Ovechkin Suspension

Got them all except Auburn. I always forget them in college quizzes.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Mar 15, 2010 -> 04:12 PM) My dark horse team here is Temple. Wouldn't surprise me at all to see them make a run. I agree. I was bummed to see Cornell land in the opposing spot, because I would have liked to see both these teams advance a round or two.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Mar 15, 2010 -> 02:29 PM) Yes 100%. That pissed me off. A team that is 28-4 out of the Valley is very good. They should have been no higher then a 7. I personally think they should have got a 6. I can't wait until they give Kansas a scare. That's of course assuming they beat UNLV, which I'm not so sure they will. That said, I agree they should have been ranked higher. It's a joke especially considering Cal, Clemson and ND got the seeds they did.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 15, 2010 -> 01:00 PM) I'm willing to bet that they set a record this year for the team with the most "quality wins" to not make it. But I'm too lazy to look that up With what? 5? Hell, UConn had a terrible year and their list of "quality" wins is arguably better. (I'm in no way advocating the Huskies had any right to be anywhere near any sort of discussion for the tourney, by the way)

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 15, 2010 -> 12:05 PM) Illinois got screwed. Anyone who knows anything about college basketball knows that Illinois is a tourney caliber team. It's a joke that Minnesota got in over them, it's a joke that Utah St., UTEP, Florida, etc got in over them. I dunno how you can fault a team for losing games they're expected to lose. Wow, so Minnesota pulls out a W against Illinois, yet has less quality wins and more bad losses. So now we're deciding that one game means team A is better than team B? Guess Illinois should be in over the FOUR seed Wisconsin, cuz we won 2 out of 3 against them this year. And how does the committee not see that Illinois took OSU to double OT, yet Minnesota gets blasted by 20+? Isn't that some indication of which team is better? Minnesota's only good win in the big ten tournament was against an overrated MSU team without one of its players. Purdue is clearly an average team without Hummel (though it was still an impressive performance). That was just a joke of a decision. I found that funny. And anyone who follows college basketball at all knows Illinois did not deserve to be in this year's tournament. No bubble teams got screwed this year. The closest to having a case is probably Virginia Tech.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Mar 15, 2010 -> 06:45 AM) If there was justice in the NHL (which there's not), Ovecheapshot would be gone for the year too. Meh, while clearly a penalty, it was even debatable whether it warranted a game misconduct. With the crap they let fly elsewhere (the Richards hit, Cooke hit(s), Downies slew-foot, Max Lapierre board, etc...) this should not garner any suspension or fine.

Kansas, Cuse, WVU, Nova Kansas over WVU for the Championship

I'm sure it's been said, but I think the committee did a particularly bad job this year. Lot's of issues with seeds. Ohio State and West Virginia arguably should have been a 1 seed, yet they are in the same region as Kansas/Kentucky, the top 1 seeds? Bulls***. Then Kansas has to deal with the best 3 seed as well. Hilarious. Duke and Syraucse have by far the easier regions. Also, some of the other seedings to me were off. Cornell should have been higher than a 12, Siena should have been higher than a 13 (hell, they might be favored in that game), Gonzaga is better than an 8, Notre Dame way too high as a 6, Wake is too high and arguably shouldnt have even been in and on and on. I know there's always going to be issues but to me it seems this year there were a lot of "WTF?" moments when I watched the seedings announced.

I love how he spells "live" the way he says it ("leave")

Actual passport application letter

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 04:52 PM) If you are looking for overrated teams, look no further than New Mexico. They will likely end up with a #2 or #3 seed and have about as much of a chance of reaching the Sweet 16 as I do of having a baby with Jessica Alba. That's gonna be the case with seeds 1-6 all over the place this year though.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 04:07 PM) ^^^^ Modern Family is all kinds of win. Julie Bowen's "sexy" voice" everything was nice. Fixed.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 04:04 PM) Just found out my little brother (age 17) is possibly a father. This should be an interesting few days in the household. My cousin, who is like a brother to me, had a kid last year, age 19. He's finishing community college next fall and got accepted to the local university. Baby's 3 months old now, they're making it work but my aunt and uncle are helping out a lot.

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 04:00 PM) By the way, I still think Greg Monroe is the best player in the nation. Hard to match his scoring, rebounding, assists, blocks, steals, and rugged good looks. No way. He's not even in the discussion. He's not aggressive enough and he disappears for long stretches far too often.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 04:22 PM) Sox are denying Ozzie's wish to launch his own website Ozzie should not have been introduced to the internets.

Wow nice choke job by South Carolina. Up by 18 with less than 12 minutes left, Alabama goes on a 32-9 run to close the game out and win by 5.

Heard about this on Mike & Mike this morning. No. Way. This. Happens.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 11, 2010 -> 01:48 PM) Onuaku injured, hopefully it's not serious. That kind of changes everything. True but he's still their third best big anyways.

Would be nice if Brandon Triche and Greg Monroe decided to start playing today too.
