    *I refuse to call the current round the second round. It's the first round goddammit!
    It's back to the first round again. Might have been last year too.

      I wasn't linking it for the truth of the matter asserted. I linked it because any time there's an opportunity to reference one of the all time funniest episodes of television ever created, I'm going to take it.

      That and the fact you almost quoted the fundamentals line word for word without even knowing it makes it that much better.

        15/16 yesterday too, missed Notre Dame. Means I'll go 8/16 today.

          It's sad I didn't even click on the link because I knew exactly what the video was going to be. Such a great episode.

                    Michigan barely survives, escapes with 1-point win.

                      ...and with Arkansas beating Seton Hall, our last perfect bracket goes down. Two people are now 18 out of 19 (42 brackets total).

                        Yeah no. The key is to not sound like a whiny brat.

                          fair points. also, there is a difference between "humor" and satire. Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal is seen as biting satire, though it is not necessarily "humor."

                            Nice to see men's teams able to make free throws when it counts. I think URI just hit something like 24 in a row.




                            Alaska is the only state that has never had a school even play in the NCAA tournament.

                            Wyoming won the tournament in 1943; Utah won in 1944 (over Dartmouth in OT). At that time, there were 8 teams.




                            Here is a bit of trivia: what is the only time a #16 seed beat a #1 seed in the Division I NCAA Basketball tournament?

                            (it is not "never").

                              Harvard women beat Stanford women when the half of Stanford's starters were injured and Harvard was underseeded.
