Princeton over Kentucky? Uh huh. Princeton used to be ok, before the shot clock, when time was relative. Not now.

Hope you didn’t put any money down on that fantasy.

Agree with Xoot- Princeton gets slaughtered..
Pitt wins it all.
zumarust said, on March 17, 2011 at 9:16 am

Anyone but Duke, please.
Flavor said, on March 17, 2011 at 9:25 am

Duke will be out by the second round this year.

I’m going for Notre Dame to take the whole thing.
In reverance to today.
Tomorrow I pick Pitt.

I can’t escape being the chalk-eating weasel that I am. I have ALL four No. 1 seeds advancing to the Final Four in Houston. Rock Chalk, Jayhawk over the Dukies in the final. I do, however, have Clemson, Richmond, Utah St. and Belmont as upset winners in the first round. Clemson’s already blowing their big lead. They’ve been gone downhill ever since Dwight Clark left. Anyone seen Shawn Weatherly lately? She’d make a fine candidate for best BB ever.
Del Mar Dennis said, on March 17, 2011 at 10:49 am

What’s up with today’s BB dye job? She looks like she could be the daughter of Saruman the White.
No to be confused with Saruman the NO Whitey.

  What’s wrong with being Christopher Lee’s daughter?
  Oh, and in a one degree of separation to Christopher Lee, R.I.P. Michael Gough
twinfan said, on March 17, 2011 at 10:55 am

Shawn today:

  best…AHHHHHHHHHH…ever
- Del Mar Dennis said, on March 17, 2011 at 12:01 pm
  
  Even if that is Shwan today. Chuck would strikeout.
- eddacker415 said, on March 17, 2011 at 4:53 pm
  
  nice smile 🙂
  
  blue really works well with that tan.
Bozo said, on March 17, 2011 at 11:37 am

The blue dental floss around the BB’s butt, sure brings out the color of her. Don’t ya think?
Twins BB, not so much. Although, dental floss would have been a good idea, back in the day.
- Bozo said, on March 17, 2011 at 12:03 pm
  
  brings out the color of her “eyes”. Damn, I guess I need to run everything by Pawlie first.
  - Unca Chuck said, on March 17, 2011 at 2:25 pm
    
    The eye looks brown to me . . .
Kevin said, on March 17, 2011 at 11:39 am

The only reason Duke is not going to win again is their best player is out!! I will pick Ohio.
Duke will make it to the final 8
Kevin said, on March 17, 2011 at 11:45 am

Okay, I should have done my homework. Kyrie Irving is playing, will not start. I will change my pick to Duke winning it all!!
snarkk said, on March 17, 2011 at 12:43 pm

Todays BB is “Stephanie B”. Not much info other than she’s on a coupla Florida bikini and Spring Break sites along with a bunch of other BB possibilities. No word on whether she can bunt. But, she definitely gives new meaning to the phrase “Grapefruit League”…

Curious. Sleuthing the BB of the day seems more rewarding than paying slavish attention to progress in the NCAA brackets…
twinfan said, on March 17, 2011 at 2:06 pm

As I said, Princeton and KY in a battle to the wire..
xootsuit said, on March 17, 2011 at 2:09 pm

Yep. Great game. Princeton is fantastic.
Unca Chuck said, on March 17, 2011 at 2:24 pm

Looks like KY slipped by Princeton . . .
twinfan said, on March 17, 2011 at 2:27 pm

Thanks, Karnak…
Unca Chuck said, on March 17, 2011 at 2:29 pm

They really jelled at crunch time. . .
Decap said, on March 17, 2011 at 2:45 pm

I have Utah St. going to the sweet sixteen….
xootsuit said, on March 17, 2011 at 2:46 pm

Several great games already today. Did you know there’s a line on whether the final combined score will be odd or even? That’s fucking crazy. Here’s something to bet on: Who will be the first to make a BB joke using the name Morehead State?

Ky.’s freshmen may be a lot wiser right now than they were this morning. We’ll see.

I think Ohio State will fail to make the final four.
twinfan said, on March 17, 2011 at 3:56 pm

Tonight’s LU:
- Del Mar Dennis said, on March 17, 2011 at 4:12 pm
  
  Can’t bitch too much about tonight’s starting lineup. EXCEPT for the poor grammar used. It should be “Sanchez, J” not “J, Sanchez.” I think that should garner me the Nitpick POTD.
  - TedSpe said, on March 17, 2011 at 4:23 pm
    
    I’ll try to one up you. It should be:
    Sanchez, J.
  - macdog said, on March 17, 2011 at 4:55 pm
    
    And of course, it should be NO WHITEY/WILLIAMS
  - PawlieKokonuts said, on March 17, 2011 at 7:17 pm
    
    Ted and Dennis snipping my buttons, grammatically (is it not more to do with usage?). There’s an expression one never hears anymore: snipping my buttons.
eddacker415 said, on March 17, 2011 at 4:51 pm

Jason Heyward just hit his first HR of the spring. Late game tonight guess I will head to bed.
Go Giants!
DJLoo said, on March 17, 2011 at 6:21 pm

Ohio St.
SanDiego St.
Wisconsin
Purdue

San Diego State over Wisconsin in the final.
willied said, on March 17, 2011 at 6:49 pm

Kansas. St. John;s and gel boy Lavin don’t get past the Zags. Wisconsin, the team that scored 33 pts. vs. Penn St.? Pls. I just hope no one further embarrasses the Pac 10 worse than SC, losing the play in game to the team everyone dissed as not being worthy to get invited in the first place.
I like Sparty’s coach, but Ucla (early exit in Pac 10 tourney) is rolling them right now.
Del Mar Dennis said, on March 17, 2011 at 6:53 pm

Not one snide comment about Morehead St. winning its game today? Please don’t tell me this blog has gained a modicum of couth. I’ll be disappointed.
- willied said, on March 17, 2011 at 7:03 pm
  
  I saw those guys win the conference title game, the big post is really good. I enjoy those games, even among the smaller conferences with teams fighting to get in, more than watching some of the blow outs that happen in first rounds.
  Too bad Oregon St isn’t any good…I love to see posts about licking the Beavers.
Flavor said, on March 17, 2011 at 7:22 pm

I’m not gonna lie, I am devastated with the Princeton loss. I threw out two huge upsets and the first one loses by a fucking bucket. I cleaned up on the pt spread but I could care less. I would have flipped my weighted pool upside down with a 13 seed win. I still nailed the Spiders (only because my dad went there) so I can’t complain…..
Tomorrow, St Peters shocks the world…….
PawlieKokonuts said, on March 17, 2011 at 7:37 pm

St. Peter’s? From Jersey City? I’m all for it, Magnus.
Flavor said, on March 17, 2011 at 7:41 pm

I’m *Biggie Smalls* this March Madness, Pawlie. I’m bleeding east coast right now. And loving every minute!
zumarust said, on March 17, 2011 at 7:50 pm

J. Sanchez has his “A” game going so far.
zumarust said, on March 17, 2011 at 7:55 pm

“Snipping my buttons”? Never heard that one before. Old-fashioned expressions can be mystifying. George Carlin used to make fun of baseball people for saying someone was “hobbled” by an injury. The only people since the 19th century to use the word “hobbled” are baseball people.
zumarust said, on March 17, 2011 at 7:56 pm

The Padres are really kicking the Rangers around tonight on the MLB network. The Padres are actually showing some “O” tonight.
Sandawg said, on March 17, 2011 at 8:56 pm

Kansas
Florida
Syracuse
San Diego State

SDSU over Florida in the final
willied said, on March 17, 2011 at 9:06 pm

Lavin looks like a goofball in those shoes with that outfit, get him and another Big East team outta here. Now if someone could just knock out the rest of the ACC, this would be more fun.
twinfan said, on March 17, 2011 at 9:29 pm

Flavor, your guy Kroon is in tough to make the team out of camp but he’s put himself in position to be an an early call up…
stixwiz said, on March 17, 2011 at 9:45 pm

Some “Drrrrrrrty” dealin tonight. Wow! He brought his “A” game. Rotation is getting stretched out pretty good now as we swing into the more serious part of the Spring. Low OBP for the offense, as TF pointed out the other day, but with this staff, their ability to bunch those hits should suffice to win most games.
