PewterPirate Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Why bother, all you need is this in the center of the bracket, so the rest of it is moot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BdoUK Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 I'm guessing Kentucky will flame out in the first or second round this year. Tubby will be lucky is he is around next season...the fan base is not happy (me included). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainmaykr Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Brad Evans will be forced to resign from Yahoo Sports the first week in April. I like his key losses/wins for both Longhorns and Ags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainmaykr Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Whaddya think Rain? Will Durant be able to get past UNC? That's where I have them going down. I seriously have no idea about this team. They are still far too streaky, but if they can get streaky at the right time, I like their chances against anyone. (I want Final Four, but I think realistically Elite 8 is the safer bet) Your guys, however, look to be the real deal (this late-season mini-skid notwithstanding). I can see them doing some serious damage, and a Final Four appearance wouldn't surprise me in the least. If you guys can make it that far that'd be stellar - and I wouldn't want to be the team facing you. If the Aggies get that far, they should be grooving - and very dangerous.

boogieman Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 If we can get past Louisville, we would have Memphis and Ohio State in San Antonio, damn near home game. Very doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassmasa Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Hey Fellas, Since I don't see an actual pool set up yet, I'll post this information for the one that I run. It's not LCVG exclusive, but might be worth your while anyway. It's $5 per entry, 2 entries max. Details below in the email I've sent to my contacts: Hello Everyone, It's that time of year to make the most seasoned college basketball fan squirm as the casual observer takes all of our money. If you will recall, my wife took last year's pool with her uncanny knack of simply liking Joakim Noah's hair and selecting the Gators to take it all. It was her first ever entry and you can rest assured that I've been reminded of this a time or two during the year. This year, I hope to have more participants than ever as the field is wide open. As always, each bracket is $5. Here are the rules: 1. Each person may complete a MAXIMUM of 2 brackets, no more. One is fine, but no more than two. 2. Entries must be submitted in this private group on Yahoo, the link is at the end of this email. Paper entries or brackets on another site are not considered. Your entries must be complete and if there's an error in your field, no money is refunded. We will all be able to see each other's entries once the tournament begins and scoring is updated after each set of games is played. 3. Payment must be postmarked by Monday, March 19. Please, please, please get the payment in ASAP. Last year, several folks were late and that caused the winners to receive payments much later than normal. Send payments to: Rob Pierce 1632 Cary Ct. Owensboro, KY 42301 Also, on your payment, please include your real name and team name so that I know which entries have been paid. 4. Winner gets 80% of the pot, Runner-up gets 20%. I hope to have 50 entries this year. 5. Pass this email along to friends and family as they're welcome to enter. I ask that you don't post this for random people, but your friends are my friends and I'm glad to take their money. 6. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THURSDAY MORNING TO COMPLETE YOUR BRACKETS. The Yahoo servers are slammed just before game time and once the tournament begins, you can't change anything. I highly recommend you complete your picks by Wednesday night at the latest. And, really, if you don't know by then, a few more hours won't help you pick George Mason in the Final Four. Here's the official Yahoo email. Just follow the directions and please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you all for participating and good luck! You have been invited to join Bassmasa's (Rob Pierce's) Private Group named "Lane Violation" in Yahoo! Sports Tournament Pick'em. In order to join the group, follow this link: http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/men/register/joinprivategroup_assign_team?GID=88679&P=lookoutkansas When prompted, enter the following information and follow the instructions on screen: Group ID#: 88679 Password: lookoutkansas Good luck everyone!

Dimness Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 I just filled out my bracket at CBSSportsline.com Getting to work on the ESPN one right now. I'm guessing Kentucky will flame out in the first or second round this year. Tubby will be lucky is he is around next season...the fan base is not happy (me included). I haven't been pleased either. Given other coaches' consistent level of success at other schools, it's amazing that Tubby has kept his job. Furthermore, it's sad that I got used to the idea of losing. With the exception of two/three of his teams, he's had some piss poor teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BdoUK Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Our recruiting recently has just been horrendous. I am pretty happy with the freshman class we have now, but the sophomore and senior classes have done very little to help Kentucky over the past two seasons. That on top of the fact that Tubby hasn't developed the three McDonald's All-American's he brought in in 2004 just makes the coaching seat that much hotter. There is no reason why Kentucky shouldn't be an elite basketball program all the time. We just completed construction of a $30 million practice facility that has been praised as the best in the nation. The fan base here, while demanding, fills Rupp Arena for every game. How many kids can play college athletics and say that 24,000 fans watched them at every home game? Oh and the women on campus are pretty smokin too . Tubby's slow offensive style has scared away a number of recruits over the past few years. Everyone thought Branden Wright was a lock to come to UK but he told a number of reporters that he "didn't like our style of play" and chose North Carolina instead. Tubby has shown a good deal of stubbornness regarding his offensive systems. You would think that he would adapt his offense to the players he has, but he doesn't seem willing to do that. My gut feeling is that Tubby will be back next season. The AD here will likely force out a number of his assistant coaches (he tried to last year but Tubby refused) and give the Tubbster one more shot. However if Morris bolts for a free agent contract in the NBA and we don't score Patrick Patterson, we could be looking at a NIT berth next season. Any of you Gator fans want to part with Billy Donovan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretvampire Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 If we can get past Louisville, we would have Memphis and Ohio State in San Antonio, damn near home game. Very doable. Louisville is gonna be tough since they are playing at "home" which is pretty much bullshit. Here's hoping though, at least it has been a fun year to watch. How about a UT vs. A&M final?

secretvampire Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 I'll go down to Rupp and boo Louisville if you like It would be greatly appreciated. I saw one of the SI columnists say something like "the selection committee should have just saved the Louisville fans a bit of gas money and moved the game into their home arena a few miles down the road." I still don't understand how that happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
