At least pick a couple of cinderella's, come on guy.

He only has 2 non #1-4 seeds in the sweet 16

His elite 8 is 1/2, 1/2, 1/2, 1/3... real original pal

Non-controversial, same reason he rarely voted while he was in the Senate.

He has us going to the Elite 8 though, that's a lot farther than people on this board think we'll go.

lol. I was looking for him to pick "present".

 

[RMH44]

lol. I was looking for him to pick "present".

If he'd have picked us to win it all...I wouldn't even watch because it might cost us money.

I'm sure he feels like we're all winners, and there should be no losers. Give everyone a trophy.

We'd have to give half our tournament winnings to teams that didn't make the tournament.

Here's an idea: let's keep everyone's personal political views on the off topic board.

Am I the only one who is sick and tired of seeing Obama's face plastered all over ESPN? Hell, every five seconds they were showing him during the WKU/MVSU game - sitting with Blair, holding a baby (and the announcer going ga-ga over it), interviewing him after the game, showing him shaking hands, showing his reaction after the MVSU guard hit the three pointer, and on and on and on...OKAY ESPN, we get it, Obama was at the game, Obama is making picks and you LOVE OBAMA! We get it. Enough already.

If I was Blair I would be pissed. "You couldn't wait two days and take me to a real NCAA tournament game? Instead I get the play-in games in Dayton? Seriously? What's the matter? The leader of the free world can't score some decent tickets? Blimey!"

I'm sure if Tony Blair was at the games, he bought his own ticket, since Obama was there with current PM David Cameron.

Yo jek, it must be tough going through life without a sense of humor.

Really? You're saying that to me, of all people? The same guy whose posts consist of 90% bad jokes and who is a published comedy writer?

How dare you, sir. You have offended my honor.

You're a published comedy writer? Is this through some sort of Recovery Act funding?

 

[jekelish]

It was probably more an elaborate scheme based out of pity than anything else.

To be fair, the game was on TruTV

lol, yeah, I realized that after I posted, but I was too lazy to change it. Plus, ESPN is just as guilty as fawning over Obama as TruTV has been.

He went with teams with have momentum - like he does.

Hopefully for the sake of those teams they have more momentum than he does.
