March Madness '09

I normally would put my bracket in here, but for whatever reason, Yahoo is refusing to let me make it publicly available. So, I'll say that my prediction is Pittsburgh over Michigan State, with Memphis and North Carolina the other two teams in the Final Four. Missouri makes it to the Sweet 16, where they go out against Memphis. I would love to ( Read more... )

I'm much more interested in college football, but I do follow what goes on in college basketball enough that I can put together a bracket and not feel completely like I don't know what I'm doing.

My best year was 2002, when I correctly called Maryland winning the title, and got three of the 4 Final Four teams correct. I haven't come close since.

Screen captures can be your friend.

Other than going to a session or two at the Shootout, I don't follow much college basketball (and no NBA).

I really should learn how to do screen captures at some point.

Other than seeing how the Mavericks are doing, I never pay much attention to the NBA. As for college basketball, I went to a basketball school (even if this is our first tournament since 2003) in a major conference. Before college, I wasn't really into college sports at all.

I fully support Pittsburgh.

I really don't know why I keep liking Pittsburgh (other than I've visited the city and the university, and really liked both), but I do. Unfortunately, Yahoo purges brackets from previous years, so I no longer have a record, but I think this is at least the 4th time I've picked Pitt to go to the Final Four. Maybe this year, I'll finally be right.

"Pittsburgh over Michigan State"

Blasphemy!

We're going all the way this year.

Considering how much trouble both teams (and, for that matter, Memphis, also in my Final Four) had in disposing of their first-round opponents, I'm feeling pretty uneasy about those predictions this morning.

So, I'll just unofficially adjust my picks and say Missouri all the way! Mizzou-Rah!
