I think we should publish the email thread. Do we know how we’re recording it?

Based on the "success" of last year's March madness G:TB podcast, are we going to do a 2nd Annual?
We are an efficient bunch.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Sad part is, I just sat around the house watching Heat-Thunder and VCU-USC which I think applies to a number of other staff members (at least the VCU-USC part).
ReplyDeleteAlso, I never work on the tourney's first twi days or St. Patrick's Day. Of course, due to my honeymoon I'll be doing exactly that this year. Who's cutting out early this afternoon (2ish)...>this guy<
ReplyDeleteThe brilliance of the GTB staff is astounding...
ReplyDeleteYep, I definitely watched all of VCU/USC...
ReplyDeletedumbest post ever
ReplyDeleteAnybody else have 3 #11 seeds winning their first round games? Just me?
ReplyDeleteWell, I have Mizzou and VCU...so two of them...
ReplyDeleteI have Mizzou, VCU, and Marquette. I assume TR has Gonzaga.
ReplyDeleteI also think very, very little of the ACC apparently.
ReplyDeleteWait, I have Zags too. I think Marquette is poop.
ReplyDeleteI officially picked UNC to lose to LIU in the first round....my hatred is at an all-time high for this year's Heels....not a good thing for rational prognostication.
ReplyDeleteWho the hell is "Brian"?
ReplyDeleteRelease . . . Brian!!!
ReplyDeleteHe's a wobber! And a wapist! And a pickpocket!
ReplyDeleteHere's how old Rob and I are: When we first entered the workforce, utilizing modern technology to get updates on the tourney meant a guy we knew was watching the games on TV and would send periodic updates to us via this new fangled thing e-mail. It was pretty awesome at the time.
ReplyDeleteBrian - I guarantee I hate UNC more than you do.
ReplyDeleteYeah, and Igor is friggin' old.
ReplyDeleteI have seen roughly 37 minutes of college basketball this year (unless you count the women, then it's probably 37.33333), and I hear Mich State is not good this year, but I usually bet on Izzo making the round of 16.
ReplyDeleteDid only two brackets this year, but managed to completely disrespect Kansas in both.
ReplyDeletegreat read.
ReplyDeletei watched seven minutes of college basketball this year and filled out four bracket forms this morning-- a couple on-line and a twenty dollar pool. i probably should have just wiped my ass with the twenty and flushed it-- a better use of the money.
I had my wife do my brackets. She won the pool at my office last year.
ReplyDeleteKidding about her doing my brackets. Not the winning thing. Maybe should have had her do my brackets.
Spanarkel and Huggy Bear!
ReplyDeleteDove Men's Care decided that the John Thompsons were the men to feature in their new ad campaign? I'm confused.
ReplyDeleteBasketball gud.
ReplyDeleteWe're really getting after it in the comments today.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone start a #3inSweet16forCAA hashtag, and if not, why?
Crushing loss for ODU.
ReplyDeleteTR - Don't forget Bibby Hurley. And yeah, that ODU loss was AWFUL.
ReplyDeletewhere should i go in bethesda/rockville?
ReplyDeleteI've reread this post four times and laugh every time.
ReplyDeleteJust lost a Final Four team...
ReplyDeleteSo no exciting endings so far, huh?
ReplyDeleteTHIS MOTHER FUCKING TOURNAMENT IS OFF THE CHAIN!!!
ReplyDeleteBatting .250 with my picks so far. Weakness.
ReplyDeleteMore amazing video from Japan. First 50 seconds.
ReplyDeletehttp://youtu.be/Z7IL37t7Wjg
Danimal, coincidentally, go to Caddies. Or Steamers.
ReplyDeleteNo shit, a girl here in the bar explained to me that she roots for Duke because she lost her virginity to Christian Laettner. The conversation ended abruptly.
ReplyDeleteigor...thanks for the prompt response there...went to a really cool irish bar called austin grill.
ReplyDeletesomeone mentioned caddies tonight. maybe would have gone there if i knew about it 4 hours ago.
how about this nutty sports tournament, heh?
igor - what's her name? next time i see him in church/diner i'll ask if he keeps in touch...send me a pic...i would LOVE to do that
ReplyDeleteMy parents stopped by the house on their way home from a St. Patrick's Day street party. My old man is drunk, and fired up. He was just killing Jimmer, "he's just a slow white boy". and now he's railing against Cincy's seeding and Missouri's lack of respect. I may have to break out the Jameson.
ReplyDeletemy viewing of today's action has been somewhat disjointed, but being in the building for the odu/butler game was a little bit awesome, result notwithstanding.
ReplyDeleteSo has mine. I missed the 1st half of the early games and then a good chunk of the late afternoon/early evening games due to a basketball game of my own. I may, or may not have had a slight buzz when I showed up to my game.
ReplyDeletei believe i oversubscribed to the izzo magic. that's gonna leave a mark on my bracket.
ReplyDeleteummm....lavin - he had me at the suit & shirt but lost me there with the shoes
ReplyDeleteIt's superstition at this point for Lavin. They started that look for the coaches for kids with no shoes in Africa charity game (not the right name, I know but it happens across basketball every year) against Duke and the coaching staff has kept the look since.
ReplyDeleteTJ's bracket...wow. There's tomorrow's post.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow's post at your Wheelhouse?
ReplyDeleteUCLA...working on one of the all time choke jobs. This is ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteIf TJ were the subject of my comeback post, I'd hope to come up with something more sensational than his bracket.
ReplyDeleteAlthough...that bracket really is something else. Down a finalist, 2 final four teams, and 3 elite 8 teams after day 1.
You're right, that's impressive.
ReplyDeleteAs bad as that sounds, it's still better than the Cavs.
ReplyDeleteIt's vapid, but it kind of seems like Utah State never believed in themselves.
ReplyDeleteThe bracket Jerry is referring to, indeed toast. Mich St, 'Ville and ODU were killers.
ReplyDeleteOddly enough, did one other bracket that is virtually unharmed. Too bad that's the cheaper work pool.
Dulles airport, very early day at Patty's and Tourney 5ay 1. Hades.
ReplyDeleteWell said, Teej.
ReplyDeleteGood work phone. Solid.
