March Madness 2012

[L.Jane]

Anyone watching? Anyone filled out brackets? I have two and they are already pretty ruined. I can't believe MU lost. Whoops.

[Pollyanna]

All 7 of us have filled out a bracket, it's family fun around here. As of yesterday I was in the lead with only 1 miss but I think today really took a toll on my bracket (we'll see when we do the bracket check after dinner).

We don't fill out brackets, but after attending the Big10 championship game with Ohio and Michigan last week, I'm far more interested than usual.

Go Bucks!

Filled out a bracket for the first time this year.. needless to say it has been quite wrecked. I LOVED Lehigh taking Duke out (childish love of UNC) and being a buckeye born, raised, and educated, nothing made me happier than seeing Michigan fall to OU!! Woot! Other than that.. the boys are all watching.. and here I am on the forum!!

[L.Jane]

I can't go to bed because I am too worried KU will do a Mizzu/Duke and fall. There are ten minutes and we are up 18 points, so I think we are OK but I don't doubt anything with how the mighty have fallen tonight. Everyone's brackets are equally messed up with all of tonight's upsets.

My bracket is bleeding pretty heavily right now. I really thought Mizzou was final 4 material. We fill out a bracket every year and I kinda suck at it because I always loose at least two of my final four teams in the first two rounds, but I don't put money on it so it's all in good fun. Plus I'd almost always prefer my bracket to be busted if a 15 beats a 2! I was really pulling for the 16 over the 1 seed this year! Asheville deserved that win.

Wonder how many people picked 2 #2 seeds falling in the first round? I LOVED that Duke lost. Immediately posted on a snide comment on my snotty cousin/Duke alum's FB wall. She deserved after the crap her and her jackass father gave me last weekend at a family gather. I also enjoyed listening to everyone whine about their brackets were screwed. Anyone who had Duke going past the second round clearly didn't pay attention to men's college bball at ALL this season. They sucked this year. So yeah, that made my night. I did have Mizzou into the Elite 8, which blows. But I went on the premise of #2 seeds don't really ever lose to #15 seeds, and the only other strong team coming out of that part of the West region is Marquette. And I was iffy on them, given their Big East play - they lost to my alma mater, who didn't even make the big dance, lol!

We did our brackets and are doing decent - I think we both got about 75% of the first round games correct.

I'm doing one through work. I have never watched more than 5 min of basketball in my life and don't really care for the sport. I'm # 26 out of 27 people

I have 10 of the sweet 16! I thought that was pretty good, but our work pool is huge, and I haven't seen standings.

That's awesome! I've been getting HURT bad in my bracket.. but the buckeyes just made it to the FINAL FOUR which always makes an Ohio girl SMILE!!!! Now if only we could take on UNC/Kansas... yiiiiikes..

[TulipsAndSunscreen]

Yay OSU. There was joy in our house last night and we will be cheering for UNC tonight!

[L.Jane]

I cheered for OSU, but tonight we will be Rivals. ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!

What does "Rock Chalk" mean? I know it's the KU cheer like "Go Bucks" is for Ohio state but what does it mean?

[SuzySunshine]

It has to do with the limestone the campus is built on, Wikipedia does a good job explaining it but I'm on my phone so this link may not work.
