UTEP and Minny both in and Minny will basically have a home game playing in Milwaukee
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Ok, a day later, and I'm still pissed at UTEP for playing like shit, but I hope they get a bid. Fingers crossed.

I feel your pain. Minnesota for the first time made it to the Big Ten Championship game only to lose by 31 points to Ohio State and that chump, Turner. The Gophers offense decided to not show up in the 2nd half, and they also decided not to guard Turner (Big Ten player of the year).

I'm also with you on the bubble watch.. But I'm too mad right now to even care. I'll come back later tonight to see the brackets.

UTEP has a decent shot to get to the sweet 16.

Filling in these brackets makes me realize just how little I know about these teams. Lol.

All I know is that Duke made an impression on me last year. Even though they didn't make it that far.

I like were the Badgers fell. They should be able to get to the Sweet Sixteen, but I don't see them advancing farther.

And to you as well. Like I said, I was mad earlier, so I ran some errands with my wifey for lifey and hung out with some friends this evening. Totally forgot about the selection. Come here, and see you congratulate me.. First thought was that you were congratulating the Gophers on getting blown out. lol

Looking at the brackets now (well, the West bracket were our teams are), I can see our teams making the first round.. but after that.. It'll be tough, lets just say that much. Good luck to UTEP.. Too bad there isn't any chance of our teams meeting in the Final Four.. I guess the Elite Eight will have to do. =)

Ok, a day later, and I'm still pissed at UTEP for playing like shit, but I hope they get a bid. Fingers crossed.

They totally did. But, hey, Minny deserved it more.. They had to knock out 2 of the 3 regular season co-champions to make it to the final game. It probably would have been easier on the committee though if MN met IL in the Championship game, though. The winner is in, the loser goes NIT.

So which match-ups/potential match-ups is everyone looking forward to?

Aside from the UTEP/Butler game, here are the other games I have my eyes on:

-Duke/Louisville would be an interesting match-up in the second round. It would be the first time Mike Krzyzewski and Rick Pitino faced each other in the NCAA Tournament since their epic  match-up in 1992.

Possible upsets I see:

(12) Utah ST. over (5) Texas A&M

(7) BYU over (2) Kansas St. (likely 2nd round game)

The only chance I see a 8/9 seed knocking of a #1, would be (9)Northern Iowa over Kansas. Yeah, its a stretch, but N. Iowa has the #2 ranked defense in the country, allowing only 54.3 points per game. And they are an experienced team.

Washington is my sleeper. They're gonna win a couple of games. Syracuse will win the title.

Fan Shout
beast (23h) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.
Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander
Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.
dfosterf (2-Jan) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc
dfosterf (2-Jan) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up
Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me
Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷
Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before
dfosterf (2-Jan) : Hats off to the Beast
dfosterf (2-Jan) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season
beast (2-Jan) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games
Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : BTW, not serious.
Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You don't care about it either!!!!
Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.
Mucky Tundra (2-Jan) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest
beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.
beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.
Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.
Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo
Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision
beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it
Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue
beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉
beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan
beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan
Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while
Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."
Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?
beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*
beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes
go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast
beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one
Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha
go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota
beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th
beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?
beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead
beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18
Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?
beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed
beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!
beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over
packerfanoutwest (29-Dec) : Jets pull Aaron Rodgers for Tyrod Taylor
Mucky Tundra (29-Dec) : Colts-Giants now a tight one
