    Yeah Villanova really messed up a lot of brackets.  As did my Hawks!!!  My Jayhawks just lost.  I"m still proud of the boys as we had a good season.

    I'm sad we lost, but I"m quite dissapointed in how we acted after the game.  Laying on the floor with our heads down is disgraceful, should have kept our heads up and shook hands with a team who outplayed us. 

    Now to root for Big 12 teams!

    My bracket is completely bust. But to see an upset like the KU/No. Iowa one, I'm not sure I care.

    with all these random upsets [who knew kansas would go down so soon?!] i'm soooo glad i didn't fill out a bracket. my facebook feed is going crazy with people cursing kansas and 'nova. i'm not mad about 'nova. i go to st. mary's for grad school so i'm excited for them about that. that and 'nova always screws me up by doing the opposite of what i want them to do when i put them on a bracket. seriously, i wait until the last minute to finish their part of the bracket!

    Gah! This is stressful! This is my first year really following it... I'm used to hockey where the playoffs have the best of 7 games! This is hardcore stuff :)

    yea i never would have guessed Kansas would go down so quickly! But the games this year have been fun to watch...so many are super close! And the upsets are fun even though they did mess up my brackets! I don't think we can even predict who will take it all this year!

    @mizrunzou-- We must be close. I'm less than two miles from the Kansas/Missouri border. But you already know I'm a KU fan.

    Earlier in the year I gave my boss, an MU fan, a condolences card when we schooled MU in basketball.  I texted him today and said he might need to give it back to me on Monday. Le Sigh.

    Oh well, still Rock Chalkin'

    @Helstrong I work at a high school in Overland Park, KS!  I live in KCMO.  The tension between Kansas, Kansas State, and Missouri fans is so thick these days :)  When they interviewed me, they immediately asked where I got my degree from so they knew which administrater I'd side with!!

    @mizrunzou- That's so funny about your interview.  The tension is crazy, for sure.  I'm now rooting for any Big 12 team, as that's how my mom raised me- to support my conference when my team wasn't playing.  I find is sad when there are people cutting the other teams down (I see a lot of this on Facebook).  Of course I post a Rock Chalk and cheer when my team wins, but I don't say anything bad about the other team, unfortunately some people aren't so kind). Are you from around KC?  I have lived in Overland Park for 9 years and the 16 before that I lived about two miles south of Overland Park.

    As a Mizzou grad, I was thrilled with KU losing. It was worth my bracket being destroyed for :) LOL.

    @helstrong: I agree 100%, the sad part is I could have even excused the crying fit on the floor if it had been Collins, this being his last game and all, but seriously, someone who doesn't play enough for me to really know who he is? ;) Oh well, Big 12 here we go! My SO is a KSU fan and we're pretty much the same way, as long as there's a Big 12 team playing we're rooting for them. The KU/KSU games were fun for me though, I must admit ;)

    At least I can watch the games for the rest of the tournament and not have heart problems! :P

    p.s. ladies? I think you can officially call me addicted to weddingbee--after the game I thought "Oh I wonder what the bees posted about the games tonight!" and it's literally the first thing I did when getting home from watching the game at his mom's house. Yep. Addicted. :)

    I live in Chapel Hill so we're all sad that UNC sucked it up this year and only made it to the NIT. But the upsets are hilarious! Everyone at the mexican restaurant I was at earlier was going insane when Kansas lost (I had them taking the whole thing so my bracket's busted now). As long as Duke goes down, we'll be happy in this little town!

    @mizrunzou: I live in a little bitty town smack dab between Topeka and Wichita, I grew up in Lawrence though (hence the Jayhawk blood, teehee). My weekends were spent in KC at Oak Park...shoot sometimes they still are! What I wouldn't give for decent shopping that doesn't invovle a fast internet connection. *sigh.

    We are huge Northern Iowa fans so we've been in shock for the last 12 hours!!!Thought I was going to have to resuscitate my FI. It's definitely been a slow going morning after all of the celebrating last night. This is what I love about March Madness!

    holding solid at 7th place in my bracket! LOL.

    after this crazy wknd of upsets... i'm okay with that... plus i'm the only one with duke winning it all out of 25 others in my bracket...

    there's not strategy and i'm not strongly tied to any school... i just like to add in a lil spice... and duke's always a solid team... hopin for a miracle that they win! :)

    Haha we were just joking (of course while watching the game, we can't NOT watch the game) about "What? Is basketball still going on?" because it's the joke that once our teams are out it's over ;) I'm not a Duke fan but can appreciate a good game from both teams tonight!
