šŸ† NCAA March Madness 2024

good point - ā€œhanded them an opportunity which they tookā€. it’s not like we scored in the wrong basket to make them win by 1 or something.

Well if we are quibbling, I’d say we took an opportunity, went to the fancy wrapping paper store, paid for the expert wrapping, got some balloons, prepared breakfast in bed, and handed them the fancy gift wrapped opportunity with our fancy white butler gloves.

Useful for your brackets. A Reddit sleuth has uncovered a surprising trend. A top-2 seed has lost in the first round the past three years to teams with phallic-type names. This year’s edition of that? Longwood vs. Houston.

A small sample size. But sometimes size doesn’t matter.

I feel like this is where we need Tugard

Is Longwood a 4 or 6?

Well, they’ll tell you they’re a 6, but really…

Longwood would need to be an actual 6, so they could round up to 8.

Well now I’m curious, have the Oregon St Beavers ever faced any of these schools?

I suppose Oral Roberts ā€œfacingā€ the beavers would be redundant.

Can Reece, iMac and Dunn be our Ty, Kyle and Dre?

Survive and advance. One at a time.

Not sure why, I pictured TB as more of a 80’s Richard Marx or Michael Bolton type guy :rofl:

What do you mean?

To be fair, I haven’t listened to the group he listed but at least he didn’t pick the Eagles

It’s an awesome group … on my playlist.
I know Tony has also mentioned Tauren Wells.

My goodness, what a terrible slate of picks all around. And yes I know musical taste is subjective but I don’t care. That bracket is depressing.

Scheyer and Calipari picking Drake is so on brand though.

Colgate’s coach picking Coldplay is kind of hilarious.

BYU’s coach picking Taylor Swift is somehow also perfect.

I’m such a TJ Otzelberger fan but him picking Ed Sheeran is making me rethink that (just kidding, kind of)

Getting a similar TSwift vibe to Rick Barnes picking Carrie Underwood which I think is also super on-brand

It’s a travesty Tony Bennett didn’t choose Tony Bennett. It was right there Tony, smh.

May Tony Bennett (Musician) RIP

I don’t listen to a lot of contemporary Christian music so it’s more just a blind side on my end. Tauren Wells is really talented though
