March Madness!!!!

From what I can tell, college basketball isnt exactly huge here on the forum. But, I'll give my thoughts on March Madness anyway...

First off, the people who do the seedings have no fucking clue what they're doing. How the fuck does Syracuse win the Big East and then only get a 4 seed? Thats total bullshit. They went 27-6 and get a 4 seed, while UConn, whom Syracuse beat in the Big East semis, went 22-7 and gets a 2? Bullshit

BC went 24-4 in the deepest conference in the country, they had the 11th ranked RPI, and they get a 4? I realize they lost in the first round of the conference tournament, but so did Wake Forest, and they're a 2

Oklahoma lost 7 games and didnt even make their conference final, and they're a 3? Bullshit

And by the same token, how could Louisville be 6th in the nation going into their conference tournament, win the conference, and then be made a 4 seed? I realize Conference USA isnt a powerhouse conference, but I'd put them right on par with the PAC-10, and Washington jumped from 11th in the country to a 1 seed, while Lousiville dropped at least 6 spots to 13th in the nation. Plus, Conference USA is much stronger than the West Coast Conference, Louisville and Gonzaga have the same number of losses, but Gonzaga is a 3 while Louisville is a 4? Bullshit

This is how I think the seedings should have gone

#1's: Illinois (conference champion), Duke (Conference champion), UNC, Louisville (Conference champion)
#2's: Kentucky (made conference final), Oklahoma St (conference champion), Washington (conference champion), Wake Forest
#3's: Syracuse (conference champion), Gonzaga (conference champion), Arizona (made conference final), BC
#4's: UConn, Kansas, Oklahoma, Florida (conference champion)

Basically, Syracuse and Louisville have the biggest gripes. I can kinda understand BC as a 4, but i think a 3 is more appropriate. UConn should not be anywhere near a 2 seed.

It actually happens to fall on St Patrick's Day. Which means that Thursday will probably be the best day of the year for me. Brian Murphy of ESPN.com summed it up as follows:

Quote:
Ancient pagan cultures are responsible for our seasonal holidays, right? Wintertime, they celebrated with lights to combat the darkness. In the autumn, they celebrated with feasts to celebrate the harvest. Nice touches.

There can be, however, no pagan equivalent for the majesty of the vernal celebration set to ensue this Thursday: The First Day of March Madness, On the Same Day as St. Patrick's Day.

This is the Halley's Comet of party situations. I know it's happened a few times in the recent past, and it always elicits in me the same feeling – unfettered, orgasmic joy. I've spoken of "Cooler Day" in the past, and it's always the Monday that encompasses Opening Day in baseball, the NCAA championship game and the first day of Masters week. But when St. Patty's falls on the same day as the first day of March Madness, that's Uber-Cooler Day.

If you do not somehow lie your way out of work that day; if you do not retire to a local Irish pub that features multiple TV sets; if you do not soak in the glory of this day to its fullness ... well, then, dear friend, your life will be a poorer thing.

Carpe diem, dear reader. Make your lives extraordinary
I took both Thursday and Friday off work, and I've got 5 friends from out of town coming to stay with me. We're getting to the bar at 11 am, since the games start at noon. I have been waiting for months for this day. Just three more days!!!

Conference USA is not on par with the Pac-10. The Pac-10 has gotten no respect this year, despuite the fact that I believe they had the number RPI conference rating. Look for the Pac-10 representatives to make some major noise in the tourney.
