Sat, 03/21/2009 - 11:29 ET by ricklailI'm with you on that. Have you noticed that Mark Martin sits 34th in points? The way the media has built him up, that is very disappointing.
By the way, what has happened to The Sarge, Tony Schumaker? He hasn't had a very good season so far. Is it equally as bad that Doug Herbert and Hillary Will are out this season because of sponsorship.

Agreed...
Sat, 03/21/2009 - 11:38 ET by HeavyChevythere was a lot of hype from last season, but like JR, Martin is suffering from a lot of "No go, all show." Make no mistake they are some of my favorite drivers but they need to get there act together and quickly, starting with JR's attitude. I don't know maybe it's me but it don't seem like he's giving 100%.
Maybe I'm just crazy (been called worse)
As for Tony Schumaker that is weird. I always called him "Mr. Consistency. He was like the Jimmie Johnson of the "Straight line"
I guess even the best has a slow period but...wow.
I started pulling for
Sat, 03/21/2009 - 12:27 ET by ricklailI started pulling for Jeff Burton last season. I even went out and bought a new CAT hat for this year. He is not having all that great of year either. Now Clint Boyer is another story. New team and all he has exceeded expectations so far.

Sat, 03/21/2009 - 11:25 ET by ricklailI didn't expect Wake, BC and those cheaters from FSU to get beat-especially the way they got beat. It put the ACC in a bad light. It has happened befroe but not so dramatically.
Well my Heels are still there.

Sat, 03/21/2009 - 11:31 ET by HeavyChevyI was going to say "What's up?" but from your post I see a lot. Hang in there.
Big 12 is undefeated so far
Sat, 03/21/2009 - 11:39 ET by RESTLESS 1but, Texas plays Duke and a & m plays Connecticut, so they may not last.

Sat, 03/21/2009 - 12:22 ET by ricklailNormally I would be rooting against DOOK but seeing how the ACC is having such a bad time I can't. You know that Rick Barnes once coached at Clem's son so there maybe a little bad blood there.
As for A&M. If they play like they did the other night they can beat UConn.

Was shocked by all these
Sat, 03/21/2009 - 12:32 ET by Gat New YorkWas shocked by all these ACC teams losing int eh first round (WF, BC, Clemson, and Florida State). Not good, particularly when I had Wake Forest in the final four.
But I do have Duke (Pitt won't get to the final four) beating UNC in the semi-final game. Super senior Tyler Hansbrough will wear down from old age:)
Well, Rick

I hope he fails, too.

Sat, 03/21/2009 - 12:36 ET by ricklailMan are you harsh. Remind me not to get on your bad side.
Have you been reading anything coming out of Knoxville? From what I understand Kiffen is pissing of most of the schools in the SEC but the fans at Rocky Top are loving it.

Sat, 03/21/2009 - 12:57 ET by BlondeHey, I didn't even say a thing about the Geezer Bowden...how could that be harsh? (Jo-Pa's laughing in the background at those "wins" going down the drain).
I haven't been checking my Gator site lately, but last time I did it was a Kiffen-bash...the boy's got a big mouth, for sure. I'm going to love it when we crush the Vols, again. He'll learn to shut up soon enough.
I'm glad the Vol fans are having fun now....but I fear it won't be for long, ah that's life in the SEC East.
GO GATORS!!!!
I hope he fails, too.
P.S. Love your tag....I think Timmy read it and took it to heart.
I guess you know the old
Sat, 03/21/2009 - 13:24 ET by ricklailI guess you know the old geezer is appealing the ruling about the wins. FSU is pushing that part of it in football big time too. They don't seem to be doing the same for baseball and the other sports. They want the old geezer to have that record because as far as I can see it will be a long time before it is broken.
If Joe Pa retired after this season it may take 2 years or better for the old geezer to make up the 14 wins he is about to lose.

Ha!
Sat, 03/21/2009 - 13:25 ET by BlondeWith the way the Criminoles have been playing...it's gonna take at least three to make up those games.
I'm pulling for JoPa. I have nothing against Bowden, really...it's just those snotty Noles I can't stand.
I hope he fails, too.

Sat, 03/21/2009 - 13:21 ET by goldenthroatMy Akron Zips and OSU Buckeyes are out - geesh - the only hope left for the great Buckeye State is...U of Dayton and Cleveland State?
Wow - woulda, coulda there be a cinderella story with one of those teams?
This may end up being a very interesting finish in the Big Dance this year!

So Far
Sat, 03/21/2009 - 11:36 ET by RESTLESS 1I'm number one in our bracket. Just a few of us, who got together for the "fun" of making brackets. ;
I would expect things to tighten up now though.

I am picking Gonzaga to win
Sat, 03/21/2009 - 13:57 ET by jistincaseI am picking Gonzaga to win by a hair over Kentucky. Did you see that one hand monster jam by Pargo. For somone only 6'2" his head was above the rim.
GO ZAGS!!!
Nobody's Perfect

I wonder if the Cleveland
Sat, 03/21/2009 - 14:42 ET by ricklailI wonder if the Cleveland St win over Wake was the bracket buster. Mine was busted when Clem's son lost so I really didn't care after that.

Sun, 03/22/2009 - 22:06 ET by HermanoBroke mine! But after the first day I was 15-1. Not bad for guessing! Truly an embarrasing effort by Wake. They have failed to even show up the last two games. There will be a lot of time for them to think about it, though.

I was 24-4....
Sat, 03/21/2009 - 16:50 ET by timothe...until the late games on Friday. I had picked WKU, AZ, MD, and USC. I was feeling it!!!!
Then, I went 0-4 Friday night after my lone upset of the group, Robert Morris, lost, while the other three underdogs won. There's still hope though, as none of my losses were from teams I picked to get past the 2nd round.
I love this time of year for sports!

Sat, 03/21/2009 - 16:57 ET by JerI'm boycotting the tournament this year because the SEC got absolutely screwed. Admittedly they had a down year, but the selection committe treated them like some upstart mid-major conference. Utterly disgraceful.

Sat, 03/21/2009 - 18:29 ET by Roger the ShrubberI pray to God that my Pitt boys have their CRAP together when they play Okie St tomorrow, or they will get smacked around big time and embarrass themselves... sigh.
WVU was such a disappointment, too. But I did go 26-6 the first two days, so I cannot complain...
