QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Mar 23, 2011 -> 05:06 PM) I remember following this draft and being so pissed that Daniel Bard got taken the pick before us. I wanted nothing to do with this guy from the start. That's actually how most people on this board felt. Everyone at that time wanted Bard when he kept falling closer and closer to the Sox.

Steve, Gage, Milkman, you guys sound old as hell!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Mar 23, 2011 -> 09:04 AM) Sox announce new organist. Poor lady, replacing a legend is never easy.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Mar 23, 2011 -> 11:45 AM) My friends and I in college pooled together a bunch of money in hopes to buy one but could not find it anywhere. We just assumed it would be a huge hit at parties. What we learned was no one actually got a piece, just a picture with it. Man, I'd be pretty pissed off if I won and then found that out.

Winning by a combined 73 points the last 2 games? That's not bad.

Ya, at this point it's pretty difficult to come up with a reason as to why the Bulls aren't the best team in the East. They just keep getting better and better.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 21, 2011 -> 08:05 PM) That's what happens with a jump shooting team though. Not going to make the Final Four when your best players are shooters. A bad game is bound to happen. A complete jump shooting team that doesn't play very efficient defense is just an awful combination in a one and done setting.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Mar 21, 2011 -> 12:11 PM) So of the over 5.9 million brackets filled out on ESPN, only one bracket has 15 of the 16 sweet sixteen teams left (none have 16). Wow. I got a whole 8 of the 16 right but I still have 6 of my elite 8 and all 4 of my ff so I'm just as alive as anyone.

Well I was right about ND losing, just got the team they'd lose to wrong, ha.

Ya, I completely disagree with you Kenny. Both calls were the right ones.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Mar 19, 2011 -> 07:23 PM) lol and I'm in the wrong thread, my bad. Damn it, because of you, I did it as well! haha

GET KAWHI LEONARD THE f***IN BALL GOD DAMN IT. Unreal.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 18, 2011 -> 03:56 PM) Sorry to bash your beloved mid-major teams, but ODU and Butler were both very mediocre this year. ODU had 4 good wins with 2-3 bad losses. Butler went 15-5 in an ok Horizon League and their only win over a tourney team is Florida State. I guess in Butler's case it's fair that they got a higher seed after getting screwed in the past, but that's not an 8 seed resume to me. I really couldn't care less about the seeds, that's not what I was talking about. To say they're both "terrible" teams is crazy talk. Low major, mid major or high major, ODU and Butler are both very good basketball teams.

Go Zips!

QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 17, 2011 -> 02:57 PM) Both of those teams are terrible. For that to be an 8-9 game is a joke. That's silly. QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 17, 2011 -> 10:46 PM) UCLA is trying hard to complete the biggest choke job in college basketball history. That was absurd, wanted to throw something at my tv, thankfully the Bruins held on. They're a very talented team but god damn they're dumb at times. Also, good win for the Badgers. Belmont wasn't outclassed but Wiscy made their shots and were certainly the better basketball team.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 18, 2011 -> 11:01 AM) It is supposed to be a 15 year deal. 14 I believe. But ya, we got it for a while.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Mar 17, 2011 -> 05:00 PM) And, as usual, Vandy doesn't show up in the tournament. Good thing I picked Richmond... Vandy gets some really freakin tough matchups in the tourny. Granted, they're loaded with talent and shouldn't be a one and done but the committee has certainly done them no favors the past couple of years.

My bracket made quite the recovery today. Lost the first 3 games including 2 sweet sixteens and then proceeded to go 12 and 1, losing only 1 pt the rest of the day.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 17, 2011 -> 08:20 AM) Can't put $10 down in addition to your other billion and can't come try a health club for free for a week. Weak! If you were running it, I'd just drop 10 bucks by your house, I really don't want to put more money on my credit card card though. And that's your damn fault for always working sundays on my off/get over hangover day!

Ya, sorry guys, I have about a billion dollars into tourny pools right now, I think I'm going to pass on this one.

My left side of the bracket is so chalky and the right side is complete chaos.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Mar 16, 2011 -> 09:45 PM) Personally, Lebron's far more unlikeable IMO. LeBron more unlikeable off the court and overall imo, Wade more unlikeable on the court.

Kelsey Barlow suspended, Kyrie Irving possibly coming back, a lot going on these last few days before we actually get started.

If I'm starting a franchise, I'm easily taking Love, that's not even a question. On this Bulls team, I'm keeping Noah, also a pretty easy decision.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Mar 15, 2011 -> 02:32 PM) Josh Hamilton That's quite the different set of circumstances.
