So how are your brackets doing?
Got lazy and only did one bracket for the tourney this year. After the first day still have 12 out of 16 teams left. I went with a few of the upsets like Murray State and St Mary's. Really disappointed in Notre Dame and Georgetown out of the Big East. My fault for not picking Wake Forest I should have known better.
Re: So how are your brackets doing?
F'd up...that's how mine is. Had G'town winning a few more games...damn Ohio school! 

Re: So how are your brackets doing?
If I just pick one of my brackets at random - well, look I just happened to pick the one I'm doing best in
- I have 24 out of 28. Barring a big comeback in one of the remaining games still being played, I'll end up with 27 correct picks in the 1st round.
Heard something as I was coming home from work today that puts the difficulty of these picks into perspective. Out of 4.8 million brackets filled out on ESPN.com, there were 3 perfect brackets remaining. And they all had Utah State winning over Texas A & M, so I guess that means there are now zilch!
Speaking of which, I'm not sure if Aggie is into college basketball, but it's a good opportunity for some trash talking for the game Sunday.

After the first round 24 correct out of 32. Bad bracket, in I didn't pick Wisconsin and Temple let me down, so that bracket has me screwed.
Aggie will be mad at me, as I picked Utah St as a upset.
Next year the board will have to do a yahoo bracket.

What can I say -- I'm looking forward to seeing A&M play in Reliant Stadium in Houston after this weekend.
And, as much as it pains me to say this -- Eat dirt, Scooby. Picking Utah State over A&M, my ass.

Sorry I thought A&M was a football only school (thats my story and I'm sticking to it).

Re: So how are your brackets doing?
Okay I had Kansas winning it all. Stick a fork in me.

Boilers advanced! Not sure if my heart can take it though.

Brackets destroyed. Just going to root for the Bigten teams, and those pesky underdogs. Wouldn't a final 4 of Northern Iowa, St Mary's, Cornell and Xavier be great?

Ah, well, if it wasn't A&M, at least it was an Indiana school. (I would still rather it had been A&M, though.)

I just heard that an autistic teenager in Illinois still has a perfect bracket. Even with all the upsets.

What a game between Xavier and Kansas Sate! Playing in Double OT right now!
Re: So how are your brackets doing?
Last night killed my brackets -- can't believe Syracuse lost. And Hooray for Kansas State! (although I didn't pick them) I do love when an underdog wins.

Kansas State game was great. Even though I had them advancing over Xavier, I was rooting for Xavier, thinking they would give Butler a better shot to make the final 4.
Aggie...Xavier was the lower ranked team.
Re: So how are your brackets doing?
Maybe, but Kansas State isn't considered one of the big basketball schools in the Big 12, so to me, they're an underdog. (can't get through a day without a juicy rationalization. yes, a mangled quote from the Big Chill.)

Re: So how are your brackets doing?
Maybe I gave up on my brackets too soon. Other than picking Kansas and Syracuse, I got all the other Elite 8 teams correct. I have West Virginia beating Kentucky so that's my only hope now.

Only 1 number 1 left, and Duke might not get over Baylor, they looked better than I expected.
