Day 1 = Chalk

~If day 1 is any indicator of the entire tournament than we should expect a whole lot of chalk for the entire tournament. Only 2 'upsets' occured and neither were particularly surprising. Kansas St. has the most talented player in the country and has shown flashes of terrific basketball. So them beating USC is not particularly surprising. I probably picked this 50/50 in my brackets. The other 'upset' was #9 A&M over BYU. I don't think I picked BYU in a single bracket other than the one where I made every single pick chalk. That game was not surrprising at all.

~Fear not Duke haters it is simply a matter of time before the Blue Devils get knocked off. Sure it would have beehalfn great if they lost to Belmont. It would have been epically embarrasing and hilarious and forever enjoyable. Unfortuantely they decided they didn't want to stop Gerald from going coast to coast. Oh well, it's only a matter of time before Duke loses. There is 100% no chance Duke is good enough to win the National title.

~Kent St. was averaging one basket per commercial break in the first half until they finally broke out for their 10th point before the half. Perhaps next year if you make the tournament again you should put the ball in the basket a couple times.

~Speaking of scoring. 29 points? I know you were playing a #1 seed and you play in a shit conference in the SWAC, but still Miss Valley St. has to be pretty ashamed with their performance.

~To be completely honest the first day was a bit dull. The laste games didn't offer much excitement. The early games were all pulled out pretty well in the final minutes. Hopefully we get a bit more excitement today.

~Overall my picks were pretty solid. I've got two of my brackets in a pool. The first which I showed yesterday is 14-2. Losing USC who I had in the Sweet 16 and Purdon't. The other bracket is 15-1 losing only a Winthrop upset over Wazzu.

~Today will consist of all hoops watching and all boozing. So chances are the posts end now.

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.
