If Kansas wins nobody gets points and the current first place bracket contestant stays at 250 and wins. It's as simple as that. Rock Chalk, Jayhawk! Now, which of your three brackets was your favorite? I used my #3 in all of my other groups. I think I based those picks more on who I wanted to win, rather than who I thought could win. I put a little more thought into the early games of my #2, but wanted to keep the Final Four teams a bit different in the three brackets. The #1 was just a bunch of upsets at all the wrong times and with all the wrong teams.

My number 1 bracket were my real picks. The 2 and 3 brackets were just variations of that bracket where I was really divided on who would win and I picked the other team and got more upsets. Check out this bracket. It's the highest point total in the cbssportline bracket contest. He (or she) missed only 10 games in the whole tournament and of course had Kansas playing Memphis in the championship game with Kansas winning. He also had Davidson in the Elite 8. His East bracket was perfect. He missed the Siena and Kansas St wins only in the Midwest bracket. He had Temple over Michigan St and Pittsburgh over Temple in the South bracket with Stanford beating Texas in the Sweet Sixteen. He had Drake over Western KY and Connecticut over San Diego and Baylor over Purdue in the West bracket. He also had Connecticut over Drake in the only game he had both teams wrong in the second round. So the only team out of the Sweet Sixteen that he didn't pick was Western KY. And except for Texas beating Stanford every game since the Sweet Sixteen started he has picked exactly correct. Amazing! freebracketchallenge.1.mayhem.sportsline.com/brackets?user_id=c8625be5a6b127b8

You think I should go on the Titans board and taunt the Tiger fans? ;D

Actually, there doesn't seem to be much MLB talk over there at all. Now, if we were talking the Cleveland Indians going 0-6, I'd be wild with glee on a couple of boards. ;D

Well, I pretty much ignored the Final Four, except that I kept tabs on tonight's championship game off and on, and there's one thing I love about it: John Caliperi is going to be hounded by questions of the form: "So, Coach: You STILL think FT shooting is no big deal? " ;D ;D ;D

It probably isn't that big a deal in Conference USA, aka 'The Memphis Invitational League". He'll just continue to recruit bigs to can intimidate inside, but do nothing when they are tired besides commit fouls and miss free throws. I hope he watches tape that compares his UMASS teams to Memphis to see what changes he needs to make with the players he has. He ranges too much of what he does on media-hype.
