2009 CBI Bracket Predictions


It's time for the 2nd edition of the College Basketball Invitational. I'm pumped are you pumped? Last year my picks were thwarted by the dreaded reseeding that is done in the semifinals, this year I'm gonna go rock solid. Stanford the favorite is gonna take it home. They'll get Houston in the Semifinals thanks to reseeding after the Beavers are defeated. On the other end of the bracket Charleston shall upset Richmond and then upset Nevada who previously cruised through their home games.

The bracket looks money doesn't it? My CBI Bracket shall be unchallenged and easily win its pool of 1.

Today is a day to practice brackets, so the CBI, CIT and NIT brackets will be filled out.

Uh, no, its not solid, Wyoming has lost 3 games at home all season, and if they can hit their 3's like they usually do they will beat anyone.

well you are not rock solid already. UTEP beat nevada in a game that was closer than it should have been. UTEP had Nevada crushed and they let them back into the game but gutted out the W.

Interesting that your bracket shows you picked Nevada to win the Green Bay-Houston match-up in the second round. That would be an NCAA first......a team not even in a game winning it.

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...

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...
