FORD's March Madness 2014 Thread

[FORD]

Yeah, as of right now, it's 10 days before you can even put up your brackets, but I was bored and had a few minutes to kill, so I thought I would set it up. You can still join the group early, even though the brackets aren't yet available.

I normally do not give a fuck about NCAA sports.

But last year WSU made it to the final four!

And this year they were the only undefeated team at the end of a season! A perfect 31-0!!!

Sure....not saying much because their opponents were the notriously weak teams of the Missouri Valley Conference....but you can't get to the Final Four without being able to play some ball...

So this season has been interesting. Game is on ESPN, watch for about 10 minutes until they get a 20-point lead, then check back in just before the end of the game to watch them win....still with a 20-point lead.

So I will watch every game I can when the tournament begins.


They occasionally are in the national spotlight. For awhile in the 80s or 90s their baseball team were NCAA champs.

Their football team sucked so bad, the program was discontinued in the 70s, lol.

I went to some of their football games in the late 60s, and we always left saying "Well....maybe next time...." as the score would be 80-3 in favor of the visiting team, lol.

Just glad they have a winning team right now.

In the Missouri Valley Tournament, WSU is ahead of Missouri State by 32 points with 10 minutes left.....I think this will make them 33 out of 33....

Hoping Virginia can beat Duke today and make a deep run in the NCAA....Elite 8 maybe..

OK, the brackets are up, so fucking sign up already!

Having your entire football team perish in a plane crash, doesn't help.

Joe Carter played baseball there. Traditionally, WSU has a great baseball program.

Don't forget about the original "Bookend Forwards", Antoine Carr and Cliff Levingston. Not to mention, Xavier McDaniel.

I would love to see them go back to the Final Four, but it doesn't seem the NCAA Selection Committee has the same desire. WSU got royally fucked with their Region.

Im in...I know little about college ball so Im a lock..

[FORD]

Yeah, like I know anything about this shit?

My bracket is inevitably shot to Hell by the Sweet 16... but I always do it anyway, just for shits and giggles.

I'd never actually bet money on this shit though. I'd be running from bookies and loan sharks the rest of my life.

Hint - let your wife of girlfriend pick your bracket. This is a sure fire way to possibly win.

College basketball so god damn boring. It's like watching Sammy Hagar shoot hoops.

That would require effort and some talent, Lord knows that talentless hack has never put effort into anything other than destroying bands. He does have a knack for that though.
