Day 1 of the NCAA tournament is usually the best sports day on the year

[RF2044]

Instead, I just feel deflated by the current state of our basketball program, and how the last few days have unfolded.

Totally sucks.

Get drunk. Bet on the games. Go Gerry and Furman.

That’s all I got

I always pick UConn to lose in the first round, regardless of seeding. I can't bring myself to do otherwise. One of these days I'll get it right.

I'm more into it than I expected. I usually only do the board bracket contest and one with my family. But I joined one on Facebook that I expected to be a relatively small one for $20 per bracket. There's 165 participants now! So I'll be more focused now with that kind of money at stake.

Lakers / Rockets last night was a banger.

Do a bracket or two and grab a beer and a reuben at lunch. We'll be back. Just not today.

still the greatest 4 sports day of the calendar year. definitely not the same excitement but it doesnt change the fact that i will be watching till sunday at midnight

 

[CuseTroop]

I watched more basketball last week than I did all season. Absolutely stoked for the next 4 days.

The Siena game is my focus now. I want to see a reason to believe more given the trend of the coaching hire.

We were never going to announce a new coach until after the first weekend of the NCAAT. Nothing has changed since Red was fired, other than the social media dumpster fire that’s been lit.

Opening Thursday of the NCAA Tournament is my favorite day of sports every year. Not QUITE the same with the Orange being out (1/2 a decade now), but still my favorite

It’s more fun when I have numbers to root for. Hope Nuzzi gets back in the game next year. Easy to find Super Bowl squares and bracket pools. March Madness squares are harder to come by.

Can you light a dumpster that’s already on fire?
