The Official March Madness 2007 Thread

We are a little over an hour until the field of 64 kicks off play.

In the first three games, I have:
Maryland over Davidson
Texas Tech over Boston College
Louisville over Stanford

Yeah, I didn't even know those were the games that were coming on. Next time, I'd like to be surprised when I turn on the TV.

It's not a problem early in the game but the online March Madness on Demand is running a minute or so behind real time, so the scores are updated on the tv before we see it happen online.

So when a game comes down to a buzzer beater we will potentially see the score on the tv before we see the play online.

Maybe it is time to tape a piece of paper at the top of the tv screen covering the live scores, much like covering the bottom line during the World Cup, so there would be no spoilers of other games.

They oughta have a zoom function on cable boxes/receivers.

That being said, hopefully the network will go fully to buzzer beater situations when they can.

I've thought about bumping panerd's stupid thread.

As much as he thinks whatever about Drexel, this to me is far clearer proof that Stanford has no business being here and one of the other teams that we all thought should be in should be in instead.

The team I feel most badly for in the Stanford scenario is Air Force. They whooped em head to head, but didn't get the bid. The reasoning was bad finish, but Stanford had a bad finish too.

I really don't understand why the Big Show takes such great pleasure in mocking Ted Sarandis, Sarandis used to do the show right after them..

Looks like I am 3 for 3 to start my bracket.

Extrapolating, I see that I will end up a perfect 63 for 63 this year.

Sweet.

I think he's borderline nuts with his whole college athetics rap. Some of his rants are priceless. Got canned in favor of Mike Adams. That's not good.

At one time I remember thinking he was decent then at some point 5 or so years ago he went insane I think.
