March Madness Madness

[BobbyStrawberry]

This is the worst my bracket has looked at this point that I can remember. So many upsets! I had Alabama winning it all, so I'm sure they will lose to Maryland today.

Sadly the Same for me the East bracket followed by the South was my downfall.

The unpredictable nature especially this year makes it fun.

Sadly as they advance the Cinderella stories tend not to last and then those games are not as close or as competitive as we would like

And sadly for many of us we will not be watching out bracket picks since there is nothing left to watch. Lol

It's been awhile. The madness continues! I think it's great that the
Final Four will be full of unusual names this year. Trent King

I agree I enjoy it more when there are new names and story lines. But I do not believe the broadcast network will be happy as some of the bigger names that draw more ratings will hurt them

If anyone foresaw ALL of this and have a fully intact bracket, they should immediately legally change their name to 'Nostradamus, Jr.'

Robbie- indeed! I didn't fill out a bracket this year, but if I had done so it
would have looked like one of my high school Algebra exams by now- filled
with red "x" marks I love how the Final 4 shakes out, and don't care a
a bit if networks like it or not...

One part of the "madness" that doesn't seem to stop in this day and age,
are"fans" who want officials to swallow their whistles at the end of close
games. I'll preface by saying I had no dog in the fight whatsoever in
Creighton/SDSU yesterday. It was actually fun to watch a close game
without any emotional investment. Here's the thing, and there's no getting
around it- the foul call at the end WAS A FOUL. It's even more clear
in slow motion, the official was absolutely correct. I remain amazed by
people who claim "the refs decided that game" or my personal favorite- "you
can't call that foul at that time". Yes, the officials can indeed call it, and they
should have. There are players in all manner of sports who have this
mentality that they will be able to get away with cheating at the end.
That needs to stop and players need to play the sport, not stretch the
rules and hope they get away with it.

I've descended from the soapbox, Final 4 should be entertaining!
