I'm in!

For the 4th year in a row I'm meeting friends from work at ITap (the beer snob bar about 15 miles from my house).  All the games on big screen TVs, free pizza and beers I like on tap.  Good times!

I'm kickin' butt with this bracket so far.  I got the Yale/Baylor, UConn/Colorado and Butler/Tx Tech games right.  So far I'm 7-0 with this one and it's looking good for 8-0 with Purdue. 

Of course that only means I'll get killed tonight or tomorrow...

I knew I'd jinx it by posting that.  Purdue and Little Rock going to OT.

Yep.  Little Rock won 85-83 in 2 OT.

That Yale/Baylor game was awesome! Yay for the underdog!

That double OT game between Little Rock and Purdue was even more exciting.  Too bad it gave me my first loss of the day...

I've been watching the Indiana/Chattanooga game since but I'm switching over to UNC vs FGCU.  I can't believe Florida Gulf Coast is only trailing by 4 in the second half...

They are down by 23 now.

I just got this week's issue of Sport Illustrated and I have 3 of their Final Four.  They have UNC vs Mich St. and Kansas vs OK.  I have those first two as well but I have Kansas vs Oregon.

I should know better than to listen to Dick Vitale.  He picked Arizona as a "sleeper" who could go far in the tournament.

Well, my brackets held up longer than last year but the MTSU victory over Michigan State officially blew them up.  Holy crap, little MTSU.  I used to drive through their campus all the time when I worked in Murfreesboro; it was a shortcut from my apartment to my work.

I'm watching Pitt vs WI and they just said so far the lower seeded teams are 11-12 in the tournament.  That's freakin' amazing.

Stupid MSU. the tournament has been enjoyable so far.

Unbelievable.  Thursday two #12 seeds advanced then Friday we had a 10,11, 13,14 and 15 seed advance.

It's been wild. I can barely watch the NCAA regular season, unless there's some compelling match up, but March Madness is beyond exciting to me. Imagine if the NBA had a single elimination tournament...the intensity of the games would be unreal.
