Son of a b****, I got a meeting when the Iowa game starts. I'm gonna have to tivo it or something. Or find out whether that NCAA package will let me replay games I missed.

Alright Gene...I just made one, but I'm leaving it to you since I see your gonna do it. Hell you do better stuff than I do anyway

Please make all posts about games related to this bracket in this thread. The teams in this bracket are: Illinois Fair Dickinson Texas Nevada Alabama Wis-Milwaulkee Boston College Penn LSU UAB Arizona Utah State Southern Ill St. Mary's Okie State Se Louisiana Edit: If someone is willing can they make a similar thread for the other brackets? I got midterms I'm cramming for. If not I'll make them in between the short breaks I take.

That sounds like a good idea to me Krush.

Home Alone was in Chicago right? That was an all time class back when I was a wee lad. And dare I say Ghostbusters, although I may be wrong and that could of been in New York.

Utah State over Arizona. As much as I hate Utah State they impressed me in big west play and are a very good shooting team with a ton of size. If they are hot they could definately take the Wildcats out. Of course Lute is a great coach and will have his team ready.

Bulls played like garbage today. I'd like to say more but I got a big ass midterm to study for and most of my day went to watching the Bulls game. They played good defense, especially Pike and Hinrich, and got a ton of open shots, they just didn't convert. They missed 3 layups in the final few minutes as well. On a random sidenote, Ric Brunson is the biggest turd in the NBA. I hated the guy when he was on the Bulls, although I know there were some Brunson fans here, and quite frankly I now realize why. Him and Pete Myers damn near got in a fight at the end of the 1st half. I coudln't believe Brunson didn't get called for a T. Myers was on the court talking to an official and Brunson came by and just gave Pete a huge ass shove and it wasn't one of those "I'm your pal type of shove and were just messing around' because you saw Myers just stare him down. Don't know if they showed any clips of it, but we were sitting real close to the court and got a good few of it and were just thinking wtf. Also, some really poor officiating in tonights game. On one play Brand blocked Eddy and Eddy was taken to the ground and was just laying there and somehow got called for a foul (it wasn't offensive either. He was just going down from the block). Then there was a play where Chandler was grabbing the ball (happened right in front of our seats...thats whats great about the Clips, 4 rows up for 45 bucks thanks to ebay) and he got all ball and his hand was around the ankle and bam, Chandler got called. On a more positive note, Deng was running around and part of me thought he was gonna play tonight although he was just wearing the suit. Looks close though.

For me its nothing but Southwest. However, Northwest is one of those few airlines that flies into the airport in Sioux Falls and on a few ocassions we've had some awful experiences. So much so that on the most time its either United (which brings us through Denver, which isn't good because Denver airport, mainly weather, has forced us to stay up there on a few occasions where NOrthwets goes into Minny which isn't that far of a drive if need be) or we just go into Omaha on Southwest. Southwest is really good airline. I've yet to fly Jet Blue, but I'm thinking I will this summer, hopefully they get a hub at Midway in which case I could be flying there a whole lot. And as far as travelocity goes or any travel site for that matter in regards to getting airfare, get it from the airline directly. It is not cheaper using those travel search engines. 99% of the time I find cheaper flights my own looking at the airlines sites. Plus no one beats Southwest when they have there specials. Also Southwest is nice because if you miss a flight there is no cancellation fee or anything, the money just goes towards your next flight.

Where did these pics come from? And they sure as hell don't look to have much chemistry. In these wedding photos shouldn't they be closer to each other? However, she is dressed nice and scantilious.

Tulane avoiced the sweep though, beating the Titans 13-9. They drew 17,000 fans in the 3 game series, including 9385 on Saturdays game which was held at a minor league stadium.

Yep, so did Jeremy Giambi.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 13, 2005 -> 09:29 AM) SIU did win the conference. I'm talking about the conference tourney.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Mar 13, 2005 -> 08:56 AM) SIU is a 100% lock, and they will get around a 7 seed. Thats what I thought. So is the question that will be asked in regards to Northern Iowa is whether there conference deserves 3 teams or not. That may be what gets them in the end. Had SIU won the conference instead of SMS, I think Northern Iowa would of probably been a lock. Now they will probably be the last team in if it happens. I hope they do get in, just not over my Hawkeyes, LOL. I'll be rooting for Dr. Tom.

Now I'm still nervous because I think some people will have a hard time giving Iowa the credit they deserve because of there big 10 conference record. On a sidenote, is SIU gonna get it? Cause if they are, then Northern Iowa, SIU and SMS would all be getting in from there conference which may be too many from there conference. Of course SIU and SMS have both at one time or another in the past few years proven they can make some noise, but for SMS that was a while ago and we all know Dr. Tom Davis is a heck of a coach which could give Northern Iowa the possibilities. Still I don't know if they'd be willing to put 3 teams in. Of course maybe I'm wrong cause I didn't follow SIU that much, but my thinking was they were better than Northern Iowa this year.

Wow thats cool.

HUH?????

You talking about educational programs, cause if your a business major or a teacher you definately can't go wrong at Fullerton. Also, if you happen to be a fencer, its the school to be at...defending national champs at fencing

Reed's still a rookie though and he'll have his struggles. He'll be a solid player though. Think Erstad upside wise with obviously a better OBP.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Mar 12, 2005 -> 09:11 PM) I'm hoping Andy Gonz bounces back. It'd be nice to have a couple of real nice OBP guys down on the farm, with he and Rogo... Plus, if he comes through and has a solid year, we'll actually have a MIF prospect worth a damn down there. Jason or Dan, how is he defensively? Defensively, just like Pedro Lopez and Robert Valido he is above average and has gold glove potential. Problem is, they all have weaknesses. If they could put each others strenghts together you'd probably have the best shortstop prospect in baseball (well minus BJ Upton). However that can't be the case. Personally I like Valido the best of all of them but he's also the farthest away. I'll tell you one thing though, watching Andy Gonzalez and Pedro Lopez up the middle (when the two are playing together) is about as good as it gets defensively.

Haha, but I'm best at giving people false up.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Mar 12, 2005 -> 05:46 PM) I hope he starts in the minors, but I can't agree with this reasoning. Why does the number of pitches matter? Lots of pitchers do well with 3 (good) pitches. You also have Randy Johnson who is a 2 pitch pitcher. Fastball...Slider

Oh so its basically bs speculation, kind of what has been going on for a while. I think everyone speculated at one point or another about Big Mac and pretty much any other guy hitting tons of homers.

Chris almighty...this guy must have a big ass ego.

They said some new report is out tying Big Mac to steroids. Didn't hear what exactly they said but I'm sure someone else did. I don't know if they have any evidence or not or if its just speculation.

The best baseball matchup of the season has been going on this weekend in Tulane. #1 ranked Tulane is playing #3 ranked Cal State Fullerton and in the first game the titans ace Ricky Romero shut down Tulane and the Titans beat up Tulane's ace in a 15-1 victory. Today the Titans and Green Wave combined for 6 HR's, 3 of the Titans coming off of 2 way star Micah Owings (who transferred from Georgia Tech this past season and will be a pretty high draft pick) got beat up and Tulane almost came back late. Fullerton goes for the sweep tomorrow and a sweep could vault them into the #1 spot Go Titans, we may be done in basketball but now it means its time to focus on baseball
