The Sports Pile: A Nappy Headed Hoe-down - Sports

I write a weekly column for The Carolinian, my college newspaper, and figured I might as well link it here using this RSS business.

I'm An Ass

Well then. Talk about a nightmare evening. Duke loses (oh wait, that's fucking hysterical) and screws up my bracket (okay, maybe not). Carolina looks like they're somehow going to choke apart to Eastern Kentucky and then Psycho T walks, er draws fouls, en route to blowing the 16 seed out. Somehow too, in my main bracket I forgot to swap out Marquette for Michigan State, Texas Tech for BC and Zaga for Indiana, mainly because I decided to enter waaaaay too man brackets. And I lost the coin flip on BYU/Xavier. Ugh.

Oh right, and VCU made me look like a moron. So, Commonwealth, I would like to apologize to you, but I still maintain that Winthrop doesn't win (even though I had them last year against Tennessee, they're just too damn sexy of a sleeper this year).

My Final Four, if you're interested: Georgetown (champs), Kansas (runner-up), Texas A&M (verrrry tough to not take them all the way...) and Florida (their path is a freaking cake walk). I have the Heels losing to Texas, Pitt beating UCLA, Notre Dame in the Sweet 16, among others. And Davidson was supposed to win too dammit. Another big day tomorrow:

Virginia over Albany. Crazy no? This is a Virginia team that can make some serious noise in the tournament, folks.
UNLV over GA Tech: I like the Jackets but I think everyone in America is sleeping on the Rebels.
Notre Dame over Winthrop: This game could make or break a bracket or two, especially with Winthrop, as I said, being so damn sexy and probably landing in a Sweet 16 or two(hundred). Big win for the Irish.
Long Beach State over Tennessee: Ironically, Bruce Pearl sucks as a tournament coach with Big Orange.
