2008 NCAA 1 on 1 Bracket: East Bracket

ESPN is giving you the opportunity to make 10 brackets, so while I concentrate on figuring out my final 'true' bracket I figured out a way to stupidly decide the games. The move was to pit the best NBA representative from each team against each other. If the team does not have an NBA rep than they used their leading scorer from their tournament team.


1st Round

Vince Carter (UNC) over Play In
Vince Carter would certainly handle a college kid.

Joe Johnson (Arkansas) over Jared Jeffries (Indiana)
Joe Johnson is way to talented to be defeated by a Knick.

Troy Murphy (Notre Dame) over Will Thomas* (George Mason)
I'll give the edge to the person who puts up solid numbers in the NBA over the person who puts up solid numbers against mid majors.

Derrick Low* (Washington St.) over Michael Jenkins*(Winthrop)
My knowledge of both these players is limited.

Jameer Nelson (St. Joe's) over Eduardo Najera (Oklahoma)
Eduardo is a tough player, but he isn't that good.

Francisco Garcia (Louisville) over Coby Karl (Boise St.)

Mike Green* (Butler) vs. Demetric Bennett* (South Alabama)
Um I guess I'll take one of Butler's guards.

CJ Watson (Tennessee) vs. Garrison Carr* (American)
CJ Watson, that's all UT has given to the NBA. I guess he gets the edge over Carr, whom I've never seen play.

2nd Round

Joe Johnson (Arkansas) over Vince Carter (UNC)
Big time all star matchup but the edge goes to the youth in Joe Johnson's legs.

Troy Murphy (Notre Dame) over Derrick Low (Wazzu)
Again the edge to Murphy over a collegiate.

Francisco Garcia (Louisville) over Jameer Nelson (St. Joe's)
A tough matchup. Both were terrific collegiate players, the edge goes to Garcia due to his size advantage.

CJ Miles (Tennessee) over Mike Green* (Butler)
I guess I'll take the NBA scrub over a mid major all star.

Sweet 16

Joe Johnson (Arkansas) over Troy Murphy (Notre Dame)
Joe Johnson has too much athleticism for Troy Murphy to handle.

Francisco Garcia (Louisville) over DJ Miles (Tennessee)
Pretty much a no brainer that Garcia would take this matchup down.

Elite 8

Joe Johnson (Arkansas) over Francisco Garcia (Louisville)
Ya Joe Johnson would destroy Garcia in a game of 1 on 1.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
