More faith than me as well. I have us losing to Louisville in the Elite 8. There's no reason we can't beat Kansas and Michigan St. But, I wouldn't be stunned to see us lose to Dayton today. Just the way it is.
Interesting first day...I'm really looking forward to LSU/UNC on Saturday, I think it could be a good game. I was impressed with LSU yesterday.

Gooooo Dayton Flyers
-
A great win for the Flyers today--for a mid-major to get any type of attention and scheduling (that is, get teams that are actually willing to come to UD Arena), they have to get to the tournament and win games so that it's actually worth it for teams to take the risk of coming to town and losing without it being seen as a "bad loss" come selection time. After we beat Pitt by 25 last year, I thought, "Great game, but no-one's ever going to come here again." Hopefully this will change things.
On a side note, I taught one of today's big contributors (Charles Little--18-2-2) a couple of years ago after I finished my MA at UD. He's a good kid, and it's great to see him go to the tournament and have a good game in his senior year.

I filled in my bracket in the Tampa airport while reading the USA Today capsules of the teams. My brackets are filled with suck and it's kinda amusing to look at all of the red and green on the yahoo page. It's connect the dots type stuff and RED is winning.

I couldn't help but notice that despite having difficulty getting around your fat ass....that after 1 day of the 2nd round you have already dropped behind me in the standings.
You don't win the tournament on the first day skippy...

Good thing the kids are on Spring Break next week and don't need that lunch money.

Skippy doesn't bet...his wife makes the bets. That's why he is so lame in these contests. Tell me who HagII has in the tourney and that is someone to listen to...

Yeah ... we'll see you later, Silvercock.You're going to drop faster than Big Gay Ben in a toughman competition.
Pittsburgh sucks.
Zombo
I think anyone who made it through the season behind the line he has can be considered a "toughman". Quinn misses half the season with an injured finger and Ben has an MVP worthy performance in Super Bowl XLIII with two broken ribs.
