ROLL TIDE !!!!!!

[Kimmifunn]

We're going to ESPN Zone in Times Square tonight to watch football.
I have 3 brackets going. Seton Hall and Oklahoma losing screwed me up. But not too bad.

We just need those dumb Gators to stay in through this round and then they can lose. You don't like the Gators...do you Amp? You seem way too smart for that.

I'm watching it on ESPN.com on the real time that keeps updating the scores.

Kimmi, don't you mean Basketball?????

[Kimmifunn]

Kimmi, don't you mean Basketball?????

Yes. Basketball. Argh.

[ktschris]

Didn't get my brackets in on time!!!

[kathydwells]

Yes. Basketball. Argh.

I am going to start calling you RO!!!! Have fun tonight!!!! I just thought maybe you had started your weekend early and were PUI!!!

Who you calling DUMB???

[Amp22]

UT tied under one minute - Bama lead cut to ONE!

[Kimmifunn]

We got lots of time in the bama game. Talk to me about the Tennesee game. Dumbo.

[30A Skunkape]

Gators are my darkhorse team, but I still gotta say GEAUX TIGERS!

[Amp22]

Lofton for UT just hit a shot with one second left to win by TWO !!!

[Kimmifunn]

Yeah...we're going to watch LSU (I held off on saying LSwho btw) tonight. I have them moving along after tonight.

[Amp22]

Bama up by 1 with 8:30 left.

[Kimmifunn]

Tennessee pulled it out. My lord.
Watching numbers ain't funn.

Is that anyway to refer to the SEC Champion?!

[Kimmifunn]

Is that anyway to refer to the SEC Champion?!

Yeah. Well, yeah.
I had a converastion recently...we were talking about SEC rivalries...and we were talking about how LSU was always so much funn to party with after the games. It was that one team that you'd play and there weren't fights at the bars after all the games. Same with UGA. Always good to party with after the game- win or lose.

[30A Skunkape]

I have Florida and Duke playing for all the marbles. I figure any team mighty enough to beat the lads in purple and gold twice in a season are bound to go far in the tourney.

[Kimmifunn]

I've god 3 brackets...Duke and Uconn...with Duke. And then Duke and Villanova with Duke winning and Syracuse and Boston College with BC going all the way.

Not too much money rollin on it.

Ecchh, the northeastern bias is disheartening!

BC did not look good today.

OMG. I'm turning into one of "them". :oops:

Amp- couldn't see it. But from the looks of it, it doesn't sound like they did. We'll see though.

[30A Skunkape]

SEC looking good-Bama, Tennessee, Florida all advance.

TN, well just barely. I remember when Winthrop was an all-women's school.

My former Div. I. basketball-playing husband (and UF Ph.D.) thinks that UF won't go to the Final Four - tough bracket, and they'd be better off in ATL where they'd get more fan support, on which they seem to thrive. It's a long drive for Gator students to get to Minneapolis. I guess you could say that for many teams, though.

[30A Skunkape]

I really think the Gators roll into the game with Villanova easily. Then, why not beat 'Nova? Think positive!

You should have seen enough of my posts to know that I'm a pessimist.

Just saw this on the local ATL news. To watch the NCAA games online LIVE, go to cbs.sportsline.com, go to the right hand side of the screen, click on "Did you see it on CBS Sports - Rollover for more info", click on the third bullet ("Watch Live Video ..."). You'll have to register, then get in line (literally, like they'll tell you you're #72 or whatever), then you can see anything online that's not broadcast where you live.

There's also a "Boss Button" so that if you're watching the games at work, a spreadsheet pops up and covers up the video.

All true. It's actually decent quality, though it's kind of muddy. Pretty genius in general. I like the Boss Button.

BR did you see the entire UF game? I think most of Florida missed the first 4:30 of the game because they didn't cut away from the BC game. People in Orlando and Gainesville had this happen too. Did you get to see the game in the ATL, or did you have to go online?

[Kimmifunn]

Every freakin' game is close tonight. I mean Syracuse? Really? Duke is struggling too!

[ktschris]

I think for someone who didn't know if she was going to watch football or basketball..she officially has....

March Madness Fever!

[Kimmifunn]

I pick up this time every year. I got into a pool so I've got some dinero ridin' on this.

But I still can't wait for football!

BTW...the dudes totally dug our brackets!

[ktschris]

I'm sure this has a double meaning!!!

[Kimmifunn]

We'll see. Maybe they'll actually call tomorrow!

Ohhh...I love it. Sometimes it's just too easy.

[kathydwells]

My new hero...Kimmifunn.

[Miss Kitty]

I'm sure this has a double meaning!!!

...and Kimmi has great brackets!!!!

[30A Skunkape]

...and Kimmi has great brackets!!!!

Except for the one with Syracuse going far and Iona advancing

[Kimmifunn]

I had LSU advancing! Easy killer. I did have Syracuse in my Final 4.

[Beach Runner]

Gators!
Joakim!
Okay! You can now put a lid on me.
:oops:

[Miss Kitty]

Hey BR...I take it your Gators won?

[Beach Runner]

LOLOL!

[Beach Runner]

[sarafunn]

The circus staff that has been at our school for 3 weeks tried to go out for St. Patrick's Day drinking last night, and complained that all the people at the Irish bar were watching the NCAA games, and not being very St. Patty's Day-ish. This crew is from England, Scotland, Australia, Canada, and Hungary (or "Hungaria" to GTTBM), so I had to explain about March Madness. They couldn't give a fig about b-ball!

[audie]

i despise basketball, and anything to do with it, but the hubby has it on like 24 hrs a day now. anyway - say a player tonight that i swear to god is eddie murphy's buckwheat character reincarnated. he had on a purple jersey - that is as technical as i can get.

*THIS* is March Madness. My sister in Dallas just called me and wants us to fly to Minneapolis tomorrow to see the Gators play. We have a boatload of FF miles, so my flight would be free. She has a private plane, so her flight would be free. We don't have tickets, but tickets are always available - it's just a matter of how much you want to spend.

Is it MADNESS for us to go?

Speaking of madness, LSU just beat Duke. Well, in 19 seconds.

Yes - it IS madness to use your FF miles to go somewhere THAT freakin' cold to watch basketball! What are you thinking! Fly to Belize and watch it on satellite or something! Or watch it from SoWal!!!

[Beach Runner]

We have so many FF miles that this is irrelevant. Actually we plan to donate many of them to a charity. We used to vacation in Europe and Asia and used the miles for those trips, but now that we own in SoWal, we'd rather be there.
