Rev or franchise..if you guys want to delete this thread or merge it, I have no problem with that, but in my opinion, reading an organized thread strictly about march madness is easier than half prospect scouting and half game related talk.

With that being said;

Who are your picks for the final 4?

Upsets?

Sleepers?

Champs?

I'll post mine tomorrow.

Then of course the Gophers type in the secret code to advance to the next level, the NBA Play-offs, where they of course dominate as well.

I'll be a homer and say NDSU upsets Kansas Friday at the dome.

I go to the U and have season tickets to gophers basketball, so I have a bracket where they win it all. I just picked my favorite team regardless to how good they are in each matchup, so the final four is very interesting.

But on a sirius note, in my legit bracket, the final 4 is Michigan State, Memphis, Pitt and UNC. Spartans winning it all. I have to apologize to the fans of these teams, as I have just ruined their chances.

I'm exceedingly pumped for Gophers-Texas. Had season tickets since the start of the Monson era, and after all the turds I've watched over the years, this year's been great. My bracket will suffer because I can talk myself into having the Gophers beat anybody, but that's a small price to pay.

I got NDSU and 20 points from my father-in-law so I'm feeling pretty good about that bet.

In the only pool I've done so far I got Wake Forest, Memphis, Pitt, and UNC final four with UNC over Pitt. WKY over Illinois and UNI (homer pick) over Purdue.

I pick Blake Hoffarber to make another shot that will get really old, really quick.

Oh, I'm feeling the madness! But in a different way. The Southwest Minnesota State University Mustangs are going to Springfield Massachusetts for the NCAA Division II Elite Eight tournament.

Impressive, since our leading scorer on the year averaged just 8.9 points per game

And then we can bring in Bert Blyleven to explain that the crowd is yelling "MOOOOO" not "BOOOOO" like he did for "LEEEEEWWWW".

I actually find the "sims" part really funny, like if you added some normal surname to your new name. Kano Ripyourheartoutflawlessvictoryfatalitysmith, or, since we're in Minnesota, Kano Ripyourheartoutflawlessvictoryfatalityknutson.

well it would look good on a resume and make yourself a little more professional sounding, plus a good conversational piece in interviews, perspective boss will be saying "hey, I knew a Darrell Knutson in high school, any relation?"

This is what I am cheering for, and I am not even a NoDak fan.

MN should have a very good chance against TX as well.
