RAB Bracket Busters

By Mike Axisa

The NCAA Tournament kicks off this afternoon, and I started a Tournament Challenge group at Yahoo that you can join. There aren’t any prizes, just bragging rights, but you’ll get to pick your brackets and have fun following along. The scoring doubles each round, from one point in the first round to two points in the second to four in the fourth, and so on. If you want in, go here and click “Join A Group.”

League ID#: 187724
Password: hiphipjorge (not sure if it’s case sensitive)

There’s a limit of 500 people in the group, so first come first serve. The games start in like, an hour, so get to filling your brackets out. Oh, and if you have anything you want us to answer in today’s podcast, email it to either Joe or myself using the links on the right.

really dont get this whole psychosis for college basketball.

The first two rounds of March Madness is like the Dominican Republic v. The Netherlands, except it’s 48 of those games packed into 4 days.

Rooting for underdog Davids to pull upsets of incredible Goliaths is fun. Brings out the inner populist in everyone, even Republicans.

nope, still dont care.

JSB, if I were to give you some money out of my wallet, would that help ease the pain?

jsbrendog says:

yes. yes it would. and i think that has become one of my favorite lines due to its (possible over)use here.

another one i feel we need to work in more is…well, i’ll wait to see if a time comes when it applies.

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!!!!!!!!!

 
 
 
 
 
 

Alright, my bracket’s in. I eagerly look forward to being beaten by UWS, Rebecca, YankeeGirl49, RCK, or Marsha.

whozat says:

Always have a safe word!

 
UWS says:

Meh, I don’t have time for this nonsense. The only team I care about (Cornell) will get knocked out in the first round anyway.

 
Yankeegirl49 says:

I wasnt going to enter as I am in a few pools, but after Tommie’s comment, I guess I have to. Tho I thought it was too late, but they let me submit one of my brackets that was done already. Its still saying incmplete tho..so dont know if Im in or not.

 
 
Tony says:

Screw the davids – I’m rooting for goliath

 
Rafi says:

Got my bracket done in 10 minutes…and it looks really similar to my espn bracket

Mike A. says:

I somehow ended up with both #1’s and both #2’s in my Final Four. Yeah … that ain’t happening.

Mike Pop says:

Heh, got that too.

(Praying that Lawson is able to play by the second round)

 
Matt says:

I’ve got 3 ones and a 2.

Mike Pop says:

Michigan State or Memphis?

Matt says:
Mike Pop says:

Izzo = my favorite coach.

Matt says:

Yeah, I like him.

Stryker says:

awesome – signed up and bracket is filled out. looks like i’m a louisville fan this year (sorry matt).

 
Steve in MN says:

couldn’t get my bracket in on time, wish they had posted this yesterday instead of the day of the tourney…

Joey says:

yea me 2, keep getting an error “this is not a private group” which I guess means you’re too damn late. Oh well, don’t like basketball (in general) to begin with, only would do one of these with RAB.

 
 
Mike Pop says:

No Calhoun for UConn. Hope he turns out alright, UConn should still dominate.

 
Drew says:

MAN!! i wish i wouldve known earlier, im in a stupid lohud group. If Cal doesnt turn it around i’m screwed anyway tho
