Oh crap...

I just realized I made another upset pick--Purdue over Texas.

This leads one to ponder one of the great philosophical questions, one that has tugged at man's imagination for millenia uncounted...

What the **** was I thinking?!

That means, in that regional, I had the 5, 6, 7, and 9 seeds in the Sweet 16. Ay yi yi... this is why I never win these things...

(Not that I think Texas is hot ****... they're still upset bait, whether or not it will be Purdue.)

I KNEW karma was going to catch up to me. If Butler wins today (and they are leading) over Louisville, my bracket is DEAD!

Well I had Miss St in that position, so I was happy to see Butler advance to it. I can't imagine many people had them getting to the sweet 16

GO BUTLER!

Syracuse just took care of business against OK State.

They were 17 down, and won by 14.

Now they get to go to Albany New York, which should be just like home games for them.

Damn it, I picked the wrong 12 seed. A pox on Wisconsin!

The ***** of it is that I originally had Butler beating Louisville in that game, then I thought about it for a minute... "Rick Pitino, going out like a chump to Butler?"

Always go with your first instinct! (Unless, of course, that instinct says, "pick Oklahoma State!")

Maybe Butler isn't really a chump

No, but apparently Pitino is.

Purdue going into the half with the lead... interesting...

They shouldn't have counted the three... it was after the time had expired. But since that type of play isn't reviewable at the end of a half... Give Purdue the one point lead

That's right...

Man, my East is just f-ed. I had Louisville facing off against Wake Forest in the elite 8. Oh, and in my fantasy land, Louisville was going to lose to KY in the final game, so count out 1/2 of my championship game.

My only hope is for Arizona to bomb out ASAP.

Michigan St handing it to Florida... 11 points up with about a minute and half left in the first half.

Whew, dodged a bullet! I was at the golf course and saw Syracuse down 31-19 to Ok St and figured I was dead since I have Syracuse losing to Kentucky in the championship. Glad to see Wake go down even though I had them for one more round. Xavier losing hurts big time.

I may have lost seven Sweet 16 teams... but goddamn it, all of my Elite 8ers are STILL THERE. I still have a chance. It's not as good as that of an ice cube surviving hell, but it's still a chance.

Interesting day. Michigan State and Butler (had neither ).
Pitt looked awesome. Kentucky still not really challenged.

Congrats on your bonus points, ixnay... Great picks, o psychic one.

Yeah... Florida really deserved that number 2 seed... lost three games late... but there was the committee saying... Full year view... they deserved it... were allowed to play almost at home in Tampa...

And they gagged big time... I said before the tournament started they didn't deserve it... I guess I was right

And on the other hand... I whined like a stuck pig that Illinois got screwed with a four seed... Said they deserved better... I guess I was wrong

See, I was right last night . But at least ONLY my East is ****ed. The rest looks pretty good (that's what I tell myself).

All I say is NOOOO... why? Just look at the standing again (freaking bad luck of bad luck).

Maybe you will be an exception to the general rule

And then again... maybe you will die like a dog like most people usually do in your position
