2015 March Madness Tournament

TheKing welcomes you all to the chance to once again get schooled at March Madness. If you would like to join my league, send me a private message and I will give you the information for my yahoo tournament.

Count me in.

I think I'll let my new cat Loosie pick this year; she can't do any worse than I've done

Drop a piece of tuna on each team and see which one she eats.

i think i am going to let Chip Kelly pick mine this year.

Yeah, thank you very much Mr. Kelly.  We unloaded 13 mil in salary, a porcelain doll QB AND got back a starting QB who will probably fit our system very well.  Holy crap Eagles fans must be pissed!

not as pissed as you might think. I think Foles hears footsteps in the pocket now and makes bad bad throws.

All we need him to be is the proverbial "game manager".  Let's face it, the Rams' success or lack thereof is going to ride with the D.  We just need a QB who can hand the ball off, throw some dink and dunk passes and not turn the ball over.   That's a far cry from what Foles was asked to do with Chip Kelly's offense.

If our miserable sub QBs last year had not turned the ball over, the Rams might have made the playoffs

Anyway, I'm now watching UConn vs. USF.

29-14 UConn at the half?  What is this, high school ball?

Hey everyone knows the big blue has got it this year! Go Cats!

Yeah the Cats look pretty much unbeatable.

Today I watched Auburn upset LSU in the SEC tournament.  I think they won 4 games in conference all year and now they've won 3 in 3 days.  Their reward?  They get Kentucky next.

I also watched Kentucky beat Florida by 15 even though the Cats played pretty crappy the first half.  IMO, the only team in March Madness that can beat Kentucky is Kentucky.

And Virginia just lost to North Carolina.

And now I'm watching Duke get dismantled by Notre Dame.

15 point deficit at halftime.

C'mon Dukies!  Anybody but Notre Dame!

Yeah the last time they played Florida it was the same way.I kept thinking the Gators were gonna kill their winning streak but they pulled it off in the end.

I hope they pull it off this year.It would suck to have a perfect season and then get knocked out in the tournament.

To play you must join and complete your bracket by Thu, Mar 19.

I'm filling out my brackets on ESPN and CBS Sports too and I keep coming down to the same two teams in the championship game, Kentucky and Villanova. I finally took Duke in my second CBS bracket. I've flip flopped all over the place in a lot of the first and second round matchups but I think Kentucky should have smooth road to the final.

I think Kentucky has it too, although i dislike Calipari a lot.

I used to dislike him but you have to hand it to the guy, every year he basically has to rebuild his team and every year his team is at least competitive.

We're doing one at work and I picked 'nova to beat Kentucky. I hate Kentucky but they'll probably win.

Knowing there's never been a tournament where all 4 #1s went to the final four, I just swapped out Duke for Gonzaga.

I wish all the games would be like that BYU/Ole Miss game.

My boss is going to today's games down at Consol Energy Center. Must be nice to be the boss and come and go as you please.

I sure am glad I have SMU beating Iowa State on all my brackets. Actually, I did pick UAB on one of my two ESPN brackets. But I have SMU advancing in the next round anyway so the UAB upset today didn't really do much damage. Notre Dame sure gave me a scare though. I have them going to at least the Sweet 16 on all my brackets.

Ouch! Baylor losing hurts. They were one of my Sweet 16s.
