ZOMG, Ohio U. beat Georgetown!!!!!

:bounce: :bounce: How about it, Bot??? GO BOBCATS!!!!!!!

Of course, now they've gotta play Tennessee...ouch.

The downside to this is, it's shooting my brackets all to hell. I admit, I was "realistic" and went with Georgetown. In short, yesterday the few upsets I predicted didn't happen, and the ones I didn't predict did, in at least half the cases. Grr.

You don't suppose we might see the day when Ohio U. plays Ohio State? Naaah...

1. Georgetown seriously fucked up my bracket.

I had them going all the way to the elite eight.
I think we can safely blame Chris Clizza for this, can't we? :evilgrin:

2. Fear the Bobcats .......

Georgetown beat two # 1 seeds Duke and Syracuse this year.

The backstory on Oh You B Ball this season is amazing ....
in Nov. and Dec. because coach Groce had to let go or suspend
about half his team and they finished @ 9 in the mighty mighty
MAC.

BTW Ohio U can now play w/ just about anybody ..... although Ohio
State I think would be beat them like a red headed step child
on a rented mule.

3. Et tu, Cornell?

Sure enough, I didn't go for them, and they upset Temple. Damn, I am really losing out in predicting upsets. When I predict them, they don't happen, and when I don't, they do. And it's always the most embarrassing ones I don't predict, the ones that make me look disloyal.

I am so, so sorry, Keith. :cry: But I am just as bad re: myself. Boy, that is one big Bobcat!

I'm still more right than wrong so far, and so far my brackets aren't completely shot to hell. I did pick Temple for my Sweet 16, but that's the worst damage so far.

Come on, 'Cuse. Don't let me down tonight.

4. Don't worry - Cornell will lose on Sunday.

At least, they will according to my brackets. :)

Wisconsin barely got by Wofford. They were lucky. Then again, maybe Cornell will beat Wisconsin????

5. I know Keith must be hoping so

now that the Buckeyes have made short work of Katy Tur's alma mater (heh heh heh, knew you could do it, boys). But really, it wouldn't be pretty for my brackets. At least the 'Cuse did their job last night. Thanks, fellas!

8. No thanks from me. They were one of my Elite Eight.

But Duke was gonna beat 'em...never fear. *sigh* Oh well.

Ohio U. lost, which was actually good for me because I picked Tennessee to beat 'em. One of the few GOOD picks I made for today...

10. ...and it looks as if Keith got his wish, if he's paying attention. At all.

Diversions can help people cope. But then again, he's not a huge b-ball fan.

9. Me either. That huge crashing sound you hear

is the sound of brackets being shattered to shit all across the country.

Yeah, I had them in my Final Four. But the 'Cuse were gonna take care of 'em. :cry:

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to see them go from one standpoint, but from another...damn. I've also been very bad at predicting other results. I have now lost half my Elite Eight and one of my Final Four.

I think a monkey smoking a cigar could've done better than this. :banghead:
