But no coach has lost as many home games and conference home games in a season as they did this year. The UK boosters demand immediate results.

Are they flying to the games in reconfigured all-F jets? No coach??? No wonder they lose, they're so pampered flying up front that they lose the hungry edge needed to keep competitive.

I can't believe I'm still watching this potential train wreck; they were up 20 twice.

That's why I switched over the Simpsons on local TV here in Minneapolis.

You can't make your picks until Morehead State beat Alabama State. Could be the first #16 victory ever.

I'm not C. DaMan, but I'm on pins and needles over the Ty Lawson injury...

(Just kidding...while I have the Heels winning it all, I wouldn't cry a tear if they became the first 1 to lose to a 16 seed).

As I posted over in the (SkyTeam partner) Box, Morehead sucks. I got to watch them four times this year in person - if you don't trust those who construct the bracket, trust me.

Disclaimer: I'm from Maryland.

If Duke lost to a 16, I would get so drunk I couldn't go to work the next day (if the game was Thursday night) or drink all weekend (if the game was Friday).

Any other team and it would merely be pointing / laughing / schadenfreude.

Oh I'd probably join you in drinking in celebration. I always love seeing what Terp fans can come up for the Duke game - most creative fans in the country, bar none (the Crazies can't hold a candle to what Maryland fans come up with).

I grew up in Eastern KY...actually closer to Morehead State than to UK. Even though the Wildcats aren't in this year, KY is still well represented with MSU, WKU and, of course, UL (coached by the college basketball God, Rick Pitino).

P.S. - MSU's real claim to fame is Phil Simms.

And no way Morehead State beats Louisville. The Cards only beat Morehead State 79-41 at Assembly Hall earlier this season.

If anyone 1-16 upsets happen this year, it's Radford over UNC - Radford's been playing decent and who knows what's going on with Lawson's toe.

Of course, as said earlier, I'll let a UNC first round loss destroy my bracket and I'll be quite content.
