Tim Floyd's appearance on PTI couldn't have helped your confidence in the team. He came off pretty bad. In my eyes at least. Most of the segment was about OJ Mayo.

I was getting text messages from a whole lot of people at the beginning of the second half ripping on me. They all stopped. The Tarheels can just turn it on. They can hit this level where I really think it's tough for other teams to keep up. They have the speed and the size and the depth. I can't wait for this GT game on Sunday.

Too much speed. Too much depth. And Brendan Wright is a freak.

Dashboard Confessional.

Ah, man. He traveled. When CBS showed it in slow-mo it was so obvious. Oh well. Fuck it. Tarheel time. GOOOOOO HEEEELS!

Ohio State is certainly the most exciting team to watch in this tournament so far. Great play by Oden to win the game. I was really hoping Tennessee would pull it out. Oh well.

Only 4 now. I wish I wasn't stuck watching this Pitt/UCLA game.

Up until the last 30 seconds this episode was solid gold. I groaned at the end but I'll wait to reserve judgment until they give an explanation.

I haven't really been posting in this thread because this season is so uninspiring to me. Hayley is a second rate McPhee to me in terms of sex appeal. I like Chris Sligh but he isn't exactly awesome. Melinda is a great singer but she's so unfortunate looking that it's hard for me to buy it. Lakisha seems to be getting worse each week. I think it's possible that "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" ends up being her high point. The two JT wannabes piss me off. Blake's "Time of the Season" pissed me off last night with the gay ass beat boxing mixed in between the verses but the judges slurped it up. I don't know. This is probably my least favorite season yet. Even worse then Fantasia and Diana Degarmo. By the way, did you guys see what I assumed was Sanjaya's lady last night sitting next to his mother? Jesus christ. I don't feel bad for the kid at all.

I actually kinda like the new Modest Mouse. I find it to be an overall better CD than "GNFBWLBN" and there's a few tracks that I'm particularly enjoying. "Fired Up" "Missed the Boat" "People as Places as People" Yeah.

Hold up. How does your friend have Leopard already?

I hope that Audrey really is dead so that next year Jack can follow through with his promise of exacting revenge against the entire people's republic of China. It would truly be a glorious season. The moment that Jack kills that toad faced ambassador will truly be a happy one. I love how Chloe just straight up told Morris that she was checking his breath for alcohol without even trying to hide it in the least. And is it just me or did Nadia transform from being really hot to looking almost evil while she was being interrogated. It was actually a little too obvious of a transition.

See a few people picking Josh Hamilton for ROY. The magnitude of how much of a story that would be is pretty large. One of the best stories ever. I'd just be happy if he stays in the bigs all year.

I like them. I realize that technically they are shit but a great deal of the songs stick in my head.

I want Texas to win so UNC can destroy them. But in reality USC is probably a better matchup so ok. Go Trojans.

Solid yeah but not exactly lighting me on fire. And already? Jesus - it's not like Rampage destroyed Eastman. With that said... hell yeah. I can't wait. I'll be cheering for Rampage, although I still think Chuck is gonna house him.

I think UNC can take Texas. Too talented and too deep. A solid 10 man rotation, all of which could start on other tournament teams, taking on a 1 man team. Anyone want to remind me again why everyone is taking Texas?

If anyone not named Jack Bauer wins this tournament then it's a disgrace of the highest magnitude. www.bauercount.com

Yeah... how was Dominic West in this? I've never seen him in anything besides The Wire and I'm kinda curious.

I hope he does so I'm at least guaranteed to completely hate one player on Duke. There was a small stretch before Redick showed up where there wasn't anyone on the team I wanted to kill. That was tough.

Awwwww.... Rat face looks like he wants to cry. I LOVE IT.

WHAT A SHOT! This guy is unreal. I just screamed exceptionally loud.

C'mon VCU! I can't mention enough how much I hate Josh McRoberts.

By the way, I think that the entire world at this point expected or at least kinda thought there was a possibility that Jack could become an Other. Now that we've seen him being friendly and playing football w/ Tom... I think it could be a swerve. He's trying to build their trust? Or maybe they just said fuck it and they're going to make you think they are playing them but then he murders Sawyer with his bare hands to end this season.
