Now what the heck am I supposed to do for four days? As crappy as my brackets are, I still have 3 Final Four teams with Villanova, Mizzou, and Carolina.

All 4 of mine are still there...12 out of 16 and 7 of my elite 8 teams.

The South region is screwed up for me...Only have 1 team out of 4 still left.

BTW...Sweet 16 breakdown by conference:

Big East: 5

Big 12: 3

ACC: 2

Big 10: 2

WCC: 1

A10: 1

Conf USA: 1

Pac 10: 1

Very nice showing by the Big East and Big 12.

Outside of Arizona(12 seed) and Purdue(5 seed), all the other teams in the sweet 16 are top 4 seeds.

Wake and Washington were the only top 4 seeds to lose in either of the first 2 rounds.

Not sure if more "chalk" has ever more games through the first 2 rounds than this one or not but I don't remember it being this lopsided amongst the top 4 seeds advancing to the sweet 16.

My bracket was destroyed by the BEast underachieving... WVU was an embarassment and I needed Marquette to win although that loss is a little easier to take.

Dude the Big East didn't underachieve. I believe I heard that 5 teams in the sweet 16 either set or tied a record actually.

(go Heels!)

I've got 12, 13, or 14 teams right in all of my brackets, and have only lost one Elite 8 team (WVU) in each. Pretty solid second round after a tough 1st round for me.

Same here. After losing 9 games the first two days, I have 13 of the Sweet 16 and all of my Elite 8s are still in play.

      Grade the Eflin Trade

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      Did we ? You can’t possibly know that. Apparently, Elias got a player he thought he could fix.  Sorry but I just don’t think Rogers is as good as Irvin with his diminished stuff. I think he’s essentially a throw away. It would be wise to extend Eflin now while we still can. That way the resources used to get him can actually provide some long term value. Dominguez was an ok pickup…I don’t hate the deal. Problem is we needed a closer and he’s isn’t that. Thankfully Bautista is returning and will push him down the depth chart a slot or two. Soto ….Agreed, you bring him back if you can’t find a better option. I expect them to keep him. Otherwise, giving up Seth Johnson with our minors pitching quality shortage looks like a bad decision  Eloy didn’t cost much …. My general thought is pick ups like him didn’t matter beyond how you grade those acquisitions on a team that “Really Wanted to Win”. I question this because none of the guys that we picked up where having good seasons elsewhere. My thoughts are the same for Rivera …. He was a 563 OPS in Miami but got hot here and was a .948 here. His career OPS is .676 so his stint here is probably not repeatable. His projected arb number is 1.4 million so they likely keep him around as a piece and he’s young enough that maybe the change in scenery caused the light to come on.   By the way … here’s a piece from Roch about sone of these guys.   https://www.masnsports.com/blog/taking-another-look-at-orioles-roster-decisions

      This has to count as one of the, if not the, biggest choke in ALCS history. Up 5-3 with two outs and no one on in the ninth, after you came back from 1-3 in the eight, with a chance to put a lock on the series.

      Clay Holmes' agent could have used the season ending a good couple months ago. It was nice seeing a chink in Luke Weaver's armor.    Gunnar Henderson v. Anthony Volpe is kind of a centerpiece of Mike Elias mostly out-General Managing Brian Cashman the last half decade, but Luke Weaver v. Craig Kimbrel is not a good chapter and flipping those two guys might have changed the 2024 division.

      2024 Postseason Ticket Refund tracker

      I have all sorts of credit cards that charge interest because they provide me with tens of thousands of dollars in free interest. That said, I never pay interest, because I always pay off the balance each month.

      My friend and I each had flex plans. Him $2500 and me $1300. Neither of us renewed. Are schedules are too difficult to commit to a set plan and the lack of perks for the lower-tier set plans and flex plans make it not worth letting the Os earn the float on our money.

      I was going to post Ride the Lighting from Metallica but decided not to. I now regret that decision.
