StarPanda Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 :| Rooting for the cinderellas as always and I hope it's a different team winning this year and not the usual duke,NC, KT, or a big East team
Ginguy Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 March Madness sucks. It is nice for Indy in terms of tourism, but it just ends up annoying me.
StarPanda Posted March 13, 2017 Author Posted March 13, 2017 I enjoy it so very much the upsets, the great plays, the underdogs. one of my top 5 sport things to look forward too
Ginguy Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 NCAA is full of professional teams though. It isn't really fair, most of the schools that don't win a conference championship have no chance to get in regardless of record due to the at large bids going to programs with the largest viewer base. I'd rather just skip it altogether.

I'd rather just skip it altogether. I know that but even the not so professional teams sometimes make it interesting since it's a one game tournament so any team can have and off day
Naraku4656 Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Indeed babeh DID YOU SEE THAT LUDICROUS DISPLAY LAST NIGHT?
Ginguy Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 I know that but even the not so professional teams sometimes make it interesting since it's a one game tournament so any team can have and off day It just doesn't happen much anymore. The last time I really remember it was Butler.
scope Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 It just doesn't happen much anymore. The last time I really remember it was Butler. That was mostly because Brad Stevens is a really good coach, just look what he's done with the Celtics....it was obvious they were out-manned in their championship appearances which led to them playing very defensively and conservative, they were boring games....in comparison, last year's final game was much more entertaining.
molarbear Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 I honestly can't get into it unless OU is in and, they're a football school..... So once every 5-6 years I can get into it.
StarPanda Posted March 13, 2017 Author Posted March 13, 2017 Wouldn't be surprised if Villanova repeats. They could I hope Gonzaga takes it

StarPanda Posted March 13, 2017 Author Posted March 13, 2017 It just doesn't happen much anymore. The last time I really remember it was Butler. This year will be different I know it
Zenigundam Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 My Final Four is SMU, Gonzaga, Oregon, and North Carolina.
Ginguy Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 This year will be different I know it Says everyone from a non-program school.
Ginguy Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Funny part is going to be the empty seats at the venues, the snowpocolypse has snarled travel for the fans. The venues are going to take a big hit from it. >
Lacks_Sympathy Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Wouldn't be surprised if Villanova repeats. I always did like you
Lacks_Sympathy Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 I was wondering if any ASMB/UE people would be into it. I actually just started like a personal online group on yahoo sports for brackets. I'd be happy to create a UE group if enough people were interested. Would be kind of fun to see and compare whose brackets would do best. I mean it's one of those things where you literally can just guess and win without having too much college basketball or even sports knowledge. Admittedly, I have a vested interest since I've had a dog in the race the past couple of years (and this year) but I've always loved filling out March Madness brackets since I was a kid.

I'd be interested but can't speak for everyone else, just filled out the ESPN one.

Lacks_Sympathy Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 I'd be interested but can't speak for everyone else, just filled out the ESPN one. Cool! I actually wanted to do it with like entrance fees or whatever so that the winners could win some money but I honestly don't have the time or energy to coordinate all that right now. I mean typically I'll do or be in some fantasy football league that does that but yeah....I think for now maybe just doing it for fun would be interesting. Thanks for the feedback. Like I said, if enough people are interested....I don't mind doing it. It's all good either way though. Most of my free time is occupied with BOTW anyways, so it'd be one less thing to manage if I didn't have to
Lacks_Sympathy Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 I'm always game Lacks_Sympathy[/member] Cool but I'd want to have at least like 7 or 8 people in it though. I'll check back in on this thread periodically tonight and tomorrow. If we get that many, I'll set something up.

StarPanda Posted March 13, 2017 Author Posted March 13, 2017 Don't say entrance fee it will scare people into not joining
