So when Ohio State loses, will Oden come back to try again for a title?<BR/>Or will he be so disgusted at how refs screw him on calls (mostly lack of) that he'll go pro? If you're going to get fucked by refs every night, at least earn a few million bucks while doing it.rafaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09286062038193331350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-73477194609185275322007-03-17T14:48:00.000-04:002007-03-17T14:48:00.000-04:00In March of 2007, it was announced that James Brow...In March of 2007, it was announced that James Brown would take over Gus Johnson's duties for the regional semifinals and finals in the 2007 NCAA tournament.

The one in the quickie readers group is much better. I have all but one sweet 16 team still in and all my elite eights. Why did I think LBS would make it to the sweet 16. Man the gators looked strong last night. Hell other than Arkansas all the SEC teams looked pretty good. I think the gators were playing opossum all year long and are now showing how good they are. I love Jackson States' trash talking about the gators especially after watching them get destroyed in all aspects of the game.The heroin sheikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860402732123149415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-63450799039298206922007-03-17T12:20:00.000-04:002007-03-17T12:20:00.000-04:00the kid who is leading my school bracket is the ki...the kid who is leading my school bracket is the kid who went chalk, but we all promised not o pay him if he wins because it is not cool to do that. <BR/><BR/>and my bracket i lost 1 s16 and no e8 or f4sAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-51361127196946726122007-03-17T11:17:00.000-04:002007-03-17T11:17:00.000-04:00my 3 brackets: 15% tile, 15% tile, 40% tile.missin...my 3 brackets: 15% tile, 15% tile, 40% tile.<BR/><BR/>missing 1 S16 team in 2, 2 in the third.<BR/><BR/>I'm rolling.<BR/><BR/>Usually picking 30% upsets turns out to be a good thing. this year...not so much.rafaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09286062038193331350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-65673865239576776892007-03-17T10:27:00.000-04:002007-03-17T10:27:00.000-04:00i'm somehow tied for fifth place in the quickie gr...i'm somehow tied for fifth place in the quickie group, and really pissed that VA Tech's 12-0 run cost me a 16-0 day yesterday.
