If You Show Me Yours, I’ll Show You Mine

College basketball fans, what are your picks for the Final Four and National Championship?

Here are mine:
Men’s Final Four:
Illinois vs. Louisville
UNC vs. Kentucky
Men’s Final:
UNC vs. Illinois

Women’s Final Four:
LSU vs. Minnesota
Tennessee vs. Connecticut
Women’s Final:
LSU vs. Tennessee

Indulge yourself in criticising the unoriginality and homerism of my picks.

  1. Pete Hunt says:

    Speaking of womens’ basketball, I just saw Jody Runge at the Goose Hollow. She’s still sporting the same hair…

    strange…

  2. Timothy says:

    You can force colleges to have teams, but you can’t force people to watch or care.

  3. WWB says:

    Call me a sexist jerk if you must (and I’m sure somebody will even if I add this note), but I didn’t think once about the womens’ tourney when filling out my brackets for the office pool (I’ve got Arizona going to the Final Four — there’s a bit of homerism for you). In fact, none of my female co-workers even so much as mentioned the Womens’ NCAA tournament. I only know the UConn women won last year because both UConn teams won.

    For what it’s worth, I have UNC winning it all.

    Clint: Google it.

    andrew:

    I’m “nutz”? Maybe so, but it’s not for supporting UAB, which I don’t think I’ve ever done. I was referring to the Portland Trail BLAZERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, for Chrissake. For this, of course I am “nutz.”

    GO BLAZERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  6. Clint T. says:

    Leave it to a woman to change the topic of a March Madness message to Panties and Shoes. WTF is Pearatin anyway.. is that a new type of barbiturate I’m unaware of? I could understand if it was grouped with the panties, I mean that makes sense.. but I don’t understand it with the shoes.

  7. andrew says:

    Sports are a welcome reprieve from the usual realm of politics covered on my blog (except today, where Congress is attempting to compete with the NCAAs by holding its ludicrous steroid hearing).

    Blazer-South fan, you’re nutz! I like UAB in the first rd. but they won’t get past Arizona. My final four:
    [Illini]-Gonzaga
    [NC}-Mich. St.
    [Illini as national champs]

    Women’s I don’t pretent to folo but go DUCKS!

  8. Melissa says:

    Basketball, Schmasketball. My picks:

    Booze:
    wine vs. [beer]
    [vodka] vs. rum

    Final:
    beer vs. [vodka]

    Shopping:
    Clinique vs. [new shoes and Pearatin]
    [panties] vs. lipstick
    Final:
    [new shoes and Pearatin] vs. [new Bumble and Bumble product]…I still can’t decide. Better to call it a tie and get both.

  9. emily says:

    I dreamt about your damned brackets last night.
    An Arab man dressed in plaid issued a fatwa against me because he didn’t believe that Fairleigh Dickinson was a real team.

    I hope you’re happy.

  10. Danimal says:

    GO BLAZERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  12. Casey says:

    I only watch sports that involve players that steal gay sheep. “Fa” with your basketball.

  13. Timothy says:

    What is this “basketball” of which you speak?
