Alright, really quick before I go out and get my drinking on. Happy St. Patrick's Day to all-now be smart and get a cab or ride a bus or a train today and tonight, no point in getting a DUI or harming someone else or yourself!!
My reactions were written down on a notebook as the selection show was going on, here they are in the raw form, by region---
Midwest Region
Louisville with the overall #1 seed-Wow. I wasn't all that impressed.
The 4th #1 seed is UConn, I'd like to know why not Memphis?
Anyone want to explain to me why a craphole like Detroit gets the Final Four? That place is a dump!
Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo politicking for a #1 seed before getting trounced in the Big 10 semis was a bit much for me. And then hearing other coaches in the Big 10 that said 'we beat a potential 1 seed' just made me want to hurl. Come on guys, you're better than that, aren't you?
OSU is an 8 seed?
Arizona made the tourney-this is what happens when your schedule is solid, period.
Boston College, a 7 seed??? They lost to Harvard!
North Dakota St. as a 14 seed in Minneapolis-isn't this like a home game for them?
Dayton getting an at large bid to face West Virginia, this could be a fun game.
West Region
BYU vs Texas A&M-the 8/9 game....did I miss something?
Washington vs Mississippi State-good game, but in Portland, buh-bye Miss. State
Purdue as a 5 seed makes sense
Is Cal State Northridge at a Buffalo Wild Wings to celebrate their invitation to the dance?
Maryland is a 10 seed-hello bubble
East Region
Oklahoma State as a 8 seed- I think their Big 12 tourney run helped
Wisconsin as a 12-crap, Wisco is an absolute crap team this year
Binghamton will be giving Duke some trouble in the opening round
Texas vs Minnesota-yuck, I've seen both of these teams play-cover your eyes, it won't be pretty
Villanova somehow manages to get to be in Philly for the 1st and 2nd rounds-way to stay home
South Region
LSU is an 8 seed-as a regular season conference champ, the SEC is down this year, big time
Illinois is a 5 seed-put all my money on Western Kentucky, please
the potential for a Clemson/OU 2nd round game could be really good to watch
My boys as a 3 seed-now get some rest, I know you're exhausted from all the OT's!!
ASU and Temple will be a fun game.
Penn St. and St. Marys are out. PSU had a horrid out of conference strength of schedule. St. Mary's just was unlucky with Patty Mills being hurt. I think they would have beaten out Gonzaga had he not gotten hurt in the WCC.
And how the hell does the Big 10 get the same number of bids as the ACC and the Big East?? I hate Big 10 hoops, it's like watching a rugby scrum for 40 minutes, nothing good about watching those games.
Tomorrow-I break the games down!
Oh, and on a personal note, today will be good and bad. Good because I get to drink when it's 70 outside, bad/sad because I won't be getting my drunken singing from someone awesome later tonight...maybe I'll have to pick up the slack.

So...I need to know your picks damn it! This doesn't do shit for me! I have picks already but if I can get a check on yours BEFORE the games start...that would be lovely!
"North Dakota St. as a 14 seed in Minneapolis-isn't this like a home game for them?"
The opposite actually - the gophers and all that IS minnesota hate the Bison (and the Sioux, but still).
Holy crap - did I just have input on something basketball related?! What is happening to me?
