Can't get mad at the writers making predictions. There are gonna be a ton of upsets, so they gotta pick somebody to lose. Straight chalk is weak. We were pretty bad on the road. Thank god we were pretty good at neutral locations.

When was the last time UK caught a break in the bracket? Not talking a 5 over a 4 or getting underseeded #3 ND last year instead of over-seeded KU.

Only one I can remember was getting #12 Cornell 45 minutes from their campus in the late game, in yet another year the committee screwed us with placements.

That's why UNC and IU are locks to win their games. Only way UNC loses in R2 is if IU beats us.

The race angle is kind of weird. Yes, it was only every black player but I'm not sure what that means. He kind of alluded to that as well but then went on to say it's how they feel they need to entertain you black males.

I love the tiny moral victories idiots like Deener are trying to pursue.

"But maybe Mathiang just thought it was regular party. Did you think about that, John? What if he didn't know about the sex?!?!"

Do they really think even if some piece of evidence that small were proven incorrect it changes the totality of the charges?

Good grief, Dennis. The seeding is over. Nothing we can do about it. You sound like 70 something year old paranoid UK fan.

You honestly think UK being in BIG TEN COUNTRY is going to have an effect on how we play? Is IU going to have that many more fans than us?

It's not ideal but at this point who cares. Let's tip it off and see what happens.

I mean it is kind of predudiced against white kids, what they think they don't like Booty too?

The viewing model of The Olympics is being applied to the NCAA tournament. For some reason, someone has sold the NCAA on the idea that people won't watch unless there is some stupid human interest angle, a rivalry, or something else to hook the viewer on as opposed to embracing why the NCAA tournament is such a great part of our sporting culture. It was an organic sporting event that created it's own moments without the meddlesome hand of some reject from the sports administration bureaucracy.

The two hour special is exhibit A. Some stupid TV executive decided a 2 hour special filled with **** commentary and commercials could replace a simple 30 minute program that tosses out the bracket and let's the Internet handle the rest.

Quite a few analysts picking UK to the F4. As well as UNC has been playing, they're not getting much love.

Greenburg
Katz
Vecenie
Dauster
Gottlieb
Wolken

Who else am I forgetting?

I don't like being the smart pick tbh

Well the last four times we've been entered into this particular tournament we have at least made the semifinals. It isn't that much of a smart fan pick to choose the team that always makes it.

Just listened to that John Barr interview. He was pretty upfront. If he didn't have the info he was straight with Deener. But the info he does have he seemed pretty damn confident in it.

I mean UL put themselves on ban so if their dolt fans want to believe there wasnt something up then they are too stupid to breath.

Absolutely think Balado had involvement with Blakeney's ***** situation.

Wouldn't shock me if the call to McGee to set up the whores during his visit came from a burner phone purchased by Coach Mike.

That photo of MKG smiling and clapping while playing D against Tennessee is one of my favorite UK photos of all time. Hopefully someone has it saved and can post it.

Ben is sort of dumb and so is Lauren. Caila was the pick, but she was way too smart for him.

I'm not trying to be offensive here, but that model is called "dudes will watch no matter what; this is how we get more women to tune in".

Have to agree, but his final 3 were all pretty solid. JoJo is the hottest and Caila the most interesting but Lauren was still a solid pick.

It's just the adding of insult to injury, really. They pull this **** every year.

Dan le Batard's "Celebrity Prognosticator" is the best sports pick 'em that there is...just to show you that anyone with limited knowledge can pick as many winners as the so-called experts.

Has nothing to do with America, more to do with not giving a **** about the awful sports in it that nobody watches otherwise.
