So how does everyone feel about the bracket this year?  I think a few teams got screwed, Butler is a good example.  I also think Oklahoma should be a 1 seed and not Cinci.  Any predictions?
I have no signature...I rule.

I think the bracket this year is horrible.  The West is stacked.  They have as much talent as any other two bracket sections.  Hell, they have the champs of the Big 10, CUSA, the WCC,  the A10, the Pac-10, and the Big 12.  All in one section.  That\'s insane.  Gonzaga got screwed.  They deserved a 3 or 4 seed at least.  I think it\'s a joke that they are put at 6.  Hell, they were ranked #6 in the country, and they get a 6 seed?  That\'s unheard of.  Oklahoma should have been a #1 seed.  But instead, not only are they a #2 seed, but they are placed in the hardest part of the bracket.  Gonzaga should have been a higher seed, and they are also put in the hardest part of the bracket.  

On top of that, I think Butler and Bowling Green got screwed even more.  Both deserved to be in, and aren\'t.  Butler had 25 wins, including ones over Indiana, Ball St., and Purdue.  Bowling Green had 24, and they also beat some damn good teams, including several in the tournament.  I think it\'s a joke that underachieving teams get in over them just because of the conference they play in.

Anyway, I have no idea who I\'ll pick.  I\'m likely taking the Zags in the west though, just because I want to see them prove to all these idiots what a mistake they made.

Ohio State doesn\'t have any chance of getting there. They might make it to the second round, but thats where the fun will end for them. Oklahoma will come out of the West. Cincy is way too overrated for a #1 seed. They play in a weak conference, where their only competition is Marquette. They\'ll lose to Oklahoma in the Elite 8. Kansas will beat Miss. St. to advance to the Final Four. Duke has it easy, i hate the selection comitee. All the business about trying to keep the teams as close to home as possible. They left Duke with an easy path, except for USC in the Elite 8. Maryland might have some speed bumps along the way but i think they\'ll make it in. In the Final Four I see Kansas beating Maryland, and Duke beating Oklahoma is a close game. Oklahoma is way underrated, they\'re a team to watch. Then in the championship game Kansas will beat Duke 81-76. Kansas can stop Duke everywhere on the floor. Then they got the offense to put points on the board.

Meh, didn\'t want to go into a 2nd one, but I\'ll join this...

Oh yeah, Videoholic? Your Gators are going down to Creighton in the first round, GO BLUE JAYS!

See Yuz.
What do Kerry Wood, Mark Prior, Matt Clement, and Carlos Zambrano have in common?

They\'re the pieces to the next great pitching rotation of our time, what else?

GO CUBS!
