NCAA March Madness (discussion and pick 'em)
- Thread starter uolj
- Start date
I had Kentucky over Kansas. I think most people picked Kansas to at least make the title game so I doubt that is going to explode many people's brackets. Only if you had them winning it all, then you're toast. One year I picked 6 of the elite 8 and the entire final 4 and lost because some Kansas homer picked them to win and the title game is weighted so heavily he went from last to first in my pool.
I'm actually delighted about Kansas going down because of said Kansas homer and the fact that I know about 10 other Kansas fans in Portland and their Rock-Chalk-Jayhawk chants are annoying.
I also had Nova in the FF, I knew after rd. 1 that was a terrible pick.
I guess I was just trying to boost any Wildcat team since Arizona was out.

"Any Wildcat team." How about those superb Kansas St. Wildcats? I have them getting to Final Four but I thought Kansas Jayhawks would edge them again (they'd beaten K-State already 3 times this season). I see no reason that these particular "Kats" won't now get to title game, probably matched up against Kentucky - yet another bunch of Wildcats! But who knows the way this wacky tourney has unfolded so far with my bracket in shambles

CBS & NCAA's handling of Broadband streaming has put the NBA broadband pass to shame. They are different situations, but even the setup and quality is much better.
The clever use of ads on game switching generates ad revenue through customer habit, instead of fighting against TV ads and TV viewing habits. They also block you out of switching games on commercial breaks. It's a tricky use of the media, but a smarter use of the media.

Just saw CBS Evening News story right before today's Sweet Sixteen games on how great it is that Cornell is "Cinderella story" so far in the tournament. Yes, it's a great and even inspirational story with recent tragic 6 student suicides on their campus and the way the student body has sought comfort in their basketball team's run (statistically it was pointed out 7.5 college students kill themselves every year per 100,000). Report went gaga over fact that Cornell awards zero athletic scholarships, leads nation in 3pt FG% and starts 5 seniors - with all graduating, several with honors. Yeah, that's all fine and dandy, but what about at least mentioning name of one of 15 other teams left in the tourney, several which have just as remarkable stories. Fat chance out of the arrogant ivory towers in NYC - only ironclad proof of more blatant EAST COAST BIAS. No mention of the other amazing "Cinderellas" - Saint Mary's or Northern Iowa! Makes me hate anyone from the eastern seaboard more and more every day! Hear that home boy Peaches Napear
