Sonic Bracketology 2008

Hey guys, I set up a Yahoo league to post your brackets in. There are 5 million dollars in prizes and shit if you slay. You have to have them set before the games start on Friday. It only takes a few seconds to get your Yahoo id if you don't already have one. I can't remember who won last year, but I know I got smoked.

Here is the link and then just go to "Join a Group" and then type in the league id and password.
http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/

Group ID: 140337
Password: protect me you

If anybody has any problems logging into the league or anything, then PM me your email address and I'll send you out an invite.

This year my alma mater, UMBC, have made the tournament for the first time in school history. I got excepted to Maryland, but chose UMBC because I knew a lot of people from my hometown there and Maryland is fucking HUGE. I def. regret not going there, but whatever. Anyway, we play fucking Georgetown.....have fun on the bus ride back to Baltimore, bitches!! I mean, shit, I was hoping they'd up playing a Winthrop, or Gonzaga, or somebody they have a chance in hell against.

All are welcome!! Join in on the fun!!

I'm in like Flynn

krastian · 03.18.2008, 01:58 PM

That's the spirit.

pantophobia · 03.18.2008, 02:16 PM

i know so little about basketball and who's good

so hence i am in

krastian · 03.18.2008, 02:21 PM

I haven't been into the season as much as usual because the ACC is so down this year. At least Maryland isn't in there teasing me to pick them this year.

Gary better get it together. They haven't had a pure shooter since Juan Dixon. Mike Jones was ok, but not really that dependable.

davenotdead · 03.18.2008, 03:53 PM

i will bring da ruckus

krastian · 03.18.2008, 03:57 PM

Awesome, we already have 5 people in the league.

jennthebenn · 03.18.2008, 04:34 PM

While I also am saddened by the Terps absence in the mens tourney, let me
just lift a Natty Boh for the Lady Terps, number one seed in the womens
bracket!

krastian · 03.18.2008, 04:37 PM

Exactly, go Lady Terps!!!

atari 2600 · 03.18.2008, 07:04 PM

It was an exciting one last year. At the end, myself and jenn were neck and neck and it went down to the championship game. She had slightly better picks overall except for the Terp choke, but I did well in the final four and fortuitously picked Florida to win it all.

I have my reservations about some of the upsets picked below (particularly the UCONN), but here's my bracket (for now)...

krastian · 03.18.2008, 07:45 PM

3 of my Final Four are the same as atari's.....and the championship.

I usually don't do this, but I made another bracket for shits and giggles in the Fans of UMBC league on Yahoo where I have them beating Georgetown and Gonzaga before getting beat by Wisconsin. Ha!!

davenotdead · 03.18.2008, 09:19 PM

i share only 1 of the final 4 with atari... the champs... haha... anyone not picking UNC to go all the way? I had reservations earlier in the year... but now that Lawson is back for sure, I don't see them getting beaten

nature scene · 03.18.2008, 09:35 PM

I'm in. No UNC for me. I have Kansas.

krastian · 03.18.2008, 10:17 PM

Welcome aboard, mang.

A Kansas/UCLA final is def. a possibility.

Yeah, I'm taking UNC even though they make me puke. Their depth kind of scares me though.

scrares you in a good way?

or scared that because you picked them, you want them to win, but are scared that they don't have the depth.... aside from losing Frasor, they are pretty stacked...

I don't know, sure they have good players since they are UNC, but I'm not sure that their bench can really make a difference....from what I've seen. I know Kansas are supposed to be pretty deep.

davenotdead · 03.18.2008, 10:36 PM

they're not terribly deep its true... but their top 6 is really really good... Lawson, Ellington, Ginyard, Green, Thompson, and Hansbrough... there's too much strength/athleticism/speed/ability/experience in that group
