Have you not been watching the tournament? It's like every third word out of their mouths. As I understand it, it refers to all the games going the way of Vegas' favored betting lines - "taking the chalk" means picking the favorite to win. Perhaps the bettors here can vouch for that. But that's what I take it to mean. ESPN.com's Sweet Chalkers article is about how no Cinderella's have made the Sweet Sixteen. it's beyond fucking annoying to me for some reason. Maybe it's because EVERYBODY and their mother is using the term all of a sudden.
