Did you have Kansas advancing to the elite 8?
Did you think Syracuse had a shot?
You didn't think UW-Milwaukee was for real?
You got 28 out of 32 in the first round?
Here's the thread to go for your venting about the first round. Me? I have little reason to vent. I went 26-6 in my first round games.

Yeah, I had 25 correct in one bracket and 24 in the other. Tied for 1st and 2nd in my office pool. Although, each bracket is now missing a final 4 participant (Syr and Kan). However, I think I can overcome that if UW can advance, and with KU out of the picture, they may be able to go fairly far.

I've still got all 4 Final Four teams, but lost a couple of sweet 16 teams in Kansas, Syracuse, and Alabama. Of course, 26 is only good enough for 2nd in my pool. Some bastard had to go and get 28 out of 32.

Shame on you, sully. I told you on Wednesday Night that UW-Milwaukee would beat Alabama.
Live and learn. :)
26-6 as well.
My medicine is coming today and tomorrow, however.
Athough I didn't pick Kansas or 'Cuse to get out of the weekend. So I can beat my chest on those.
And of course I picked UW-Milwaukee. Didn't everybody ?

I nailed albuquerque perfect, but was rough all around at 24 picks and lost Kansas in the elite 8, but still have all final four teams.

I was 25-7. I had Syracuse going to the Elite 8.
I'm pissed that Creighton lost.

I would've had a perfect Albuquerque region if it wasn't for damn Creighton. I got 7 in Albuquerque and Austin then 6 in Syracuse and Chicago. It's not the end of the world, though, because in the second round we get 2 points per correct pick instead of just 1.

Let the Second Round begin!!!!
GO UW-Milwaukee!! I know, I know. Not for few hours yet, but it can't hurt! :)
I'm perfect in Albuquerque with 2 losses in each of the other brackets.
And GO PANTHERS !!! UW-Milwaukee --- CINDERELLA BABY !!!

6 wrong here as well, but lucky for me, only 1 of those mistakes did I have slated to advance next round(Syracuse).

I was sort of shocked when I saw that the Panthers are only a 4 point underdog. Saw it a 3 in some papers.
Zaga, Tx Tech ... got a close one brewing.

Looks like Arizona might be the only 3 seed to make it to the Sweet 16

Of course, now Illinois will lose to UWM and Kentucky will lose to Utah....

I still have 7 out of 8 in the elite 8 alive, 3 of 4 in the final 4 and both teams in the championship...
This may be the only time I say this, but GOOOOO Cowboys...OK St Cowboys that is.

Yes, OSU must beat Arizona, but then tank to Illinois!

I'm afraid my only chance is to ride the Cowboys' horse all the way back to the barn.

Upon further review of my bracket (which was at work), I actually went 22-10 in the first round, but 11-5 in the second. With all my Final 4 teams still intact (UNC, Illinois, Kentucky and Duke).
Yes, I went the homer route and had Wisconsin and UW - Milwaukee in the Sweet 16. I'd pass up any monetary gain to see UW - Milwaukee pull the upset of the century on Thursday night, though. :)

I said the same thing this afternoon.
I'd buy the DVD. I'd enter contests for the voice-over calls of the game.
