Diamonddust 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2008 Once the brackets come out Diamond, maybe put a seperate page up for this. I mean, I'd like to join but I'm not going to until after the brackets or until tomorrow, really... and I just think this might get lost in the shuffle. Good idea. I didn't know if I should do a different thread or not, but I'll put up one later this evening or in the morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2008 It's not over yet but it is looking like Georgia will be stealing a bid. I'm guessing Villanova or Oregon will be the odd team out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2008 You're right, it's not over. Georgia might just let those bubble teams breathe for another 30 minutes. Edit: Just as I said that, Georgia goes ahead and likely slams the door on some very angry bubble team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Kamala 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2008 Good call. How is it that a guy whose entire premise on his tv show is centered around unique garbage diners and hidden small town gems allow himself to pitch for some assembly line restaurant? Can that guy even cook? Say what you want about Emeril or Rachel Ray but they're decent chefs. I've never seen this Fierri guy cook anything. Just amble around diners in suburban New Jersey talking about how the corned beef hash is "money". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2008 If the teams they just showed are the only teams on camera, then they don't have anyone who won't make the tournament. At least put a camera in Arizona State's room or Virginia Tech's or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snuffbox 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2008 That Guy is annoying as fuck. About as bad as Johnny Cougar. That Diners etc show has steered me to some good places, at least. Wisconsin seems like a much more mature team than last year's show-up-and-win version. I wonder how much the early season drubbing by Duke had to do with this. I'm going to put them in the Elite Eight, at least, and it's not entirely school spirit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2008 East region: 1/16: UNC vs. play-in (Coppin State vs. Mount St. Mary's) 8/9: Indiana vs. Arkansas 5/12: Notre Dame vs. George Mason 4/13: Washington State vs. Winthrop 2/15: Tennessee vs. American 7/10: Butler vs. South Alabama 3/14: Louisville vs. Boise State 6/11: Oklahoma vs. St. Joseph's Easy road to the regional final for UNC, but the Elite 8 game will be difficult. Tennessee/Louisville should be epic. Boo to mid-major on mid-major violence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2008 First two bubble teams in are South Alabama and St. Joseph's. Interesting that South Alabama gets to stay in state for their first round game. Wazzu got a higher seed than expected. And really surprising that Tennessee ends up in North Carolina's bracket so I would assume the committee views the Vols as the weakest #2 seed.

Seriously, enough with the mid-majors playing each other. Two more matchups. I suspect Billy Packer had a hand in this. OJ Mayo vs. Michael Beasley should be fun. That has upset potential. Villanova?

Bored 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2008 What's with the committee rewarding 10 seeds? First South Alabama gets to play in Birmingham and now Davidson gets to play in Raleigh. Villanova in is bad news for the Pac-10 bubble teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ANKLELOCK 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2008 How the FUCK is Tennesee the last #2 seed???? Kansas gets our #1 by beating their FIRST top 25 team all season.
