    I agree! Great games to watch...but my bracket could be doing better. Vanderbilt and Georgetown screwed me...I have Georgetown in my elite 8!! :-(

    I don't follow it.  I've been annoyed that it's on instead of my regular tv shows.

    I'm sooo glad I'm not the only one!!

    I'm watching it all, and organizing the office pool. I've been sitting at home highlighting brackets for all my co-workers wins.

    My bracket is not great... but it's tied for second at work (along with like five other people haha)

    ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK GO KU!!

    Luckily for me only one of the teams that lost on my bracket did I have down to go another round. The rest that I was wrong on I have losing int he second round so that's good!

    Omg.  Helstrong.  Go Tigers!! :)  I do have Kansas in the championship though.  But I couldn't bring myself to pick them as the winners, so I'm going to have to root for Kentucky!

    i didn't do a bracket this year because it always ends up being a bracket bust watch. i think the longest i made it was the elite eight. lol. i'm enjoying watching everyone else complain about their brackets though i am missing the fun. i'm definitely doing a bracket next year. i want something to complain about too!

    though i will say, a perk of being unemployed in march? watching tourney games all day long! no one can accuse me of being the office bandwidth hog.

    I am a big 12 girl... but I have to say I have the Tigers losing tomorrow ;)

    I have KU going all the way, however we'll have to pull our heads out of our asses for the first half before we can do that.  We never pull our heads out fully until the second half ;)

    I almost lost my voice today and told a good friend that if she doesn't here from me tomorrow she'll need to come post my bail since my neighbor might turn me in for noise!

    i am SO glad i'm on spring break....if i had classes or exams right now...that would be the end of me. haha! i'm currently first in my pool but i don't think that's going to last much longer.

    @Helstrong: LOL! that was like me when i was watching the texas wakeforest game--RIDICULOUS!!!

    i love the pac-10 but i'm realistic so i went with kansas for my champion. haha

    I'm a Sam Houston State Alumni (Huntsville, TX) and we went to the "Big Dance" and played against Baylor (also in Texas) but we lost.

    I don't know if the "Big Dance" has anything to do with March Madness. I'm pretty sure it does because my fiance (also a Sam Houston Alumni) and his friends were pretty pumped about the game. Also, a lot of my facebook friends from college also had their statuses involving the game.

     

    Does the "Big Dance" have anything to do with March Madness? I'll stick to the sports that I know....football and baseball! :)

    I'm semi-watching. My FI went to UK & he told me early on that I'd better hop on the Big Blue bandwagon or find a new man! I'm on the West Coast & they didn't show the UK game at all! :( 

    lol I found this online... not really my taste, but my FI will be over the moon when he finds this up my dress!

    @Tonya: The scores kept updating & then I didn't feel SO bad. lol it's not as much fun when it's a slaughtering! I watch a lot of hockey & after the 3rd goal I lose interest. I did watch some of the Iowa-UNLV game... now that was a nail biter! :)

    I didn't do a bracket this year either but I watched a few games last night. I especially watched the Lehigh v Kansas game. Being from Bethlehem, I was interested in seeing how well Lehigh was going to do against Kansas. We were just happy we lost by LESS than 20 points, lol.. A lot of upsets for sure!

    Yeah, I've got my bracket hanging on my wall at work. I'm currently in 2nd place, but had Georgetown and Marquette in my Sweet 16. Luckily I have Wisconsin beating Temple, so I won't lose too much if Temple doesn't get its act together....

    Ooooh yes. @Helstrong I completely agree, that game was WAY too sloppy for my liking!!! Yikes! My Dad's bday was yesterday and he said "I thought it would be my last, I almost had a heart attack watching!". Being from Lawrence it's a HUGE deal in our house!!!

    As long as KU does well overall and Mizzou loses miserably I don't really care how everything else goes :P

    Another Kansas fan and yes I have them winning it all.  I have done so many brackets that I can't keep them all straight, but not doing to bad except for the Georgetown game.  Oh well!!  March Madness is MY FAVORITE SEASON!!!!  I even have a big bracket board at home that I bought like 15 years ago that I can write the teams on every year and then erase and start over next year!!!

    There have been some REALLY close games and upsets- its definitely shaping up to be an exciting tournament. I was super sad when Notre Dame (my alma mater) got upset by Old Dominion (by ONE POINT!) though, and it totally screwed up my bracket. 

    FI's alma mater, Wake Forest, pulled it out in the last possible second against Texas the other day though, so that sort of made up for it. I tend to sort of lose interest once my team's out, so I'll be cheering on the demon deacons now!

    Like pps, the Georgetwon game was a big disappointment in my bracket.  I'm in second place right now, but that loss definitely screwed my chances of winning!

    im in a bracket that FI got into... doubles our chances of winning?

     

    lol... that georgetown game and notre dame game messed me up on day 1, but i'm still not worried... march madness is all about the madness right!?

    we'll see what ends up happening, but i def have an underdog winning it all!

    @monitajb: I’m in 2nd place now as well! I’m so disappointed by Georgetown since I had them in my elite 8!!

    @stormy9973: March Madness is my favorite season too! Wedding planning got bak burnered until this is over J Awesome…where did you get a bracketboard?? I would love to have one in my house so I can rub it in FI’s face how much better my bracket is. Haha 

    @farmersdaughter: definitely an exciting tournament!

    @missjyc: FI and I are also in the same pool…yup, doubles chances of winning! And I agree, march madness is all about the madness! The crazier the better J

    I wish Oregon State's team didn't suck so they could be in the tourney (i bleed orange!!)...but i can settle for cheering on the Huskies since Im at UW now. I agree, the online streaming is awesome! Day 2 did not look pretty for my bracket...hope day 3 is better!
