...:secret: There aren't 65 first round games. First off, there are now 68 teams in the tourney. But the first two games are considered play-in games, more or less. There are only 64 actual first round games.

Edit: Nevermind. On the NCAA's website they are listing those first couple of play-in games as the first round. Then the Thur/Sat, Fri/Sat games are actually the second and third rounds.

We were both wrong.

Actually, two teams make a game. So there are only 32-34 games.

Yeah, I know. I originally had 32 games in my rebuttable. But I didn't realize the NCAA counts the first two games of the tourney has two different rounds. That's stupid, imo.

:secret: You had 64 games in your rebuttal.

[Bubble Screen]

^^Yeah, but I was gonna put 32, but then realized the NCAA counts the first two games as seperate rounds.

At any rate, that first weekend of games (especially the first day) is the best sports day of the year, imo. Already taken that Thursday and Friday off work.

I was in Vegas once for the first round. Great sportsbook experience.

[Bubble Screen]

Btw, they should do away with those stupid play-in games. I don't really see the point in those games. I guess when they had an odd number of teams they had to have one. But now that there are 68 teams, what's the point?

Yeah, I can imagine.

[ACW]

They get it half right. What they SHOULD do:

-If you win your conference, no play-in game.

-The final 8 bubble teams (2 for each part of the bracket) play-in for either the 12-seed or the 13-seed.

This is good news because CBS sucked last year at switching to games that mattered. I was in a hotel with no computer during the Sweet 16. There was a game where KU blew out Cornell while there was another game with K-State and Xavier that was probably the best game of the tourney and went to 2OT. CBS refused to switch to the good game even though KU was up by like 20 and the arena was empty. There are two games to choose from and you're gonna make us watch the one that people who payed to be there for aren't even interested in? I understand the first round has a million games and its hard to please everyone, but how do you **** up the Sweet 16 when there are two games going on and one of them sucks?

My two favorite days of the year without question really. I love to settle down in front of my television with a large pepperoni and mushroom pizza, a gallon of water, and an eighth of the best marijuana the earth has to offer. Then proceed to watch college basketball until my eyes fall out.

I don't smoke anymore though.

Kudos to CBS. March Madness should be available to everyone. Sort of like health insurance.

[Bubble Screen]

One thing I hate about March Madness are the nerds that fill out like 20 brackets and all of them suck but one. But yet they go around bragging about having a great bracket.

This is old news and not that important since you could have seen them all online with the free MM package
