Fill Out Your Very Own 2009 CIT Bracket

It looked so much fun when I did it this morning that you all are clamoring to fill out your very own CollegeInsider.com Tournament Bracket. Well now you can. I've included the bracket image below with nothing but the first round games filled out. And I've also included this handy map of where all the schools are located which will help you plot out your future match ups. Just remember none of the 2nd round matchups are set, so this bracket is pretty much just a guide line. The committee could potentially send Rider out to Portland if they really wanted to in the 2nd round. Nothing is finalized. Anyway, enjoy filling it out and playing with the map.

Your welcome.

Thanks a bunch for this also do you have any idea how the reseeding for the CBI works after the Quarterfinals?

I tried using last year's reseeding as a model and was confused as to how Houston & Tulsa which had the two best records of the Final Four in the '08 CBI faced each other in the Semi-Finals while Houston & Bradley who had the two worst records faced each other in the second Semi-Final Game.

I must say though trying to figure out what teams are going to play where in the CIT is real dumb i understand it's to save travel money but come on.

Not sure how the seeding works... I'm sure they have the seeds set before the brackets are out. I'm just guessing that the top team in each region is the "1" seed in that reason. For instance Stanford as a 1 seed. Not sure who would be the #1 overall though.

You need to fix your bracket a little. If you go to the CIT Tournament home page it shows the second round matchups. I think you would only have to switch around two teams. Anyway thanks for putting a bracket together. I think you may be the only one to have one for the CIT.

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
