2008 NCAA 1 on 1 Bracket: South 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.

Check out the breakdown: Final Four, East Regional, West Regional, South Regional, Midwest Regional



1st Round

Rodney Carney (Memphis) over Anthony Vereen* (Texas Arlington)
Carney is holds a marginal role with the 76ers this year.

Fred Jones (Oregon) over Erick Dampier (Miss St.)
Erick Dampier is a 6-11 stiff, while Fred Jones at the very least can dunk well.

Zach Randolph (Mich St.) over Eddie Jones (Temple)
Eddie Jones is way past his prime.

Mark Blount (Pitt) over Robert Jarvis* (Oral Roberts)
Boo to Mark Blount not playing an NBA player.

Dwyane Wade (Marquette) over Tayshaun Prince (Kentucky)
Arguably the most intriguing first round matchup of all. Wade and Prince match each other up all of the time in the NBA, but without the teammates Wade is simply better.

Josh Childress (Stanford) over Ryan Wittman* (Cornell)
High SAT scores is not the competition here.

John Salmons (Miami) over Patrick Mills* (St. Mary's)
Give the edge to the NBA player.

Kevin Durant (Texas) over Trenton Hassell (Austin Peay)
Durant has too many offensive weapons for the stronger Hassell to handle.

2nd Round

Fred Jones (Oregon) over Rodney Carney (Memphis)
Where's Penny Hardaway when you need him?

Zach Randolph (Mich St.) over Mark Blount (Pitt)
Mark Blount blows. I'm upset he lasted past the first round.

Dwyane Wade (Marquette) over Josh Childress (Stanford)
A healthy wade would abuse Childress in the paint.

Kevin Durant (Texas) over John Salmons (Miami)
Durant takes down Salmons with ease.

Sweet 16

Zach Randolph (Mich St.) over Fred Jones (Oregon)
Two Knicks in the Sweet 16. Apparently my tea at work is spiked. Randolph should win this matchup, but who knows.

Dwyane Wade (Marquette) over Kevin Durant (Texas)
Durant still needs to put on some muscle before he will be able to matchup with Wade down low.

Elite 8

Dwyane Wade (Marquette) over Zach Randolph (Mich St.)
Size, Strength and Weak competition got Zach Randolph to the elite 8. In a matchup vs. Dwyane Wade. If it was a matchup of spelling, Zach's parents would have defeated Dwyane's.

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.
