WHAT MADNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This has been a crazy month. I have been in and out of the Las Vegas Valley for the past two weekends and will be headed there for my third straight week. What a tournament we have had. The Rebels lose on a lucky shot by Ali was the only dagger on the weekend. But overall this was an awesome tournament.

I really like when these smaller schools winning these games. I like teams like St. Marys and Cornell. These are teams who actually try to play good teams during the season. Ill give credit where it is due but Northern Iowa is all luck. Those kids play hard and they get lucky. Kansas overlooked them and UNLV got a horseshit call on steal by Oscar Bellfield who called timeout but was not granted it by the ref. That left 19 ticks on the clock for Ali to throw up a wild three that went in.

Cornell is a great team. They played hard all season and had a tough loss to Syracuse during the season. I think the MWC getting four teams in was good for the conference even though they all lost early that conference has almost all there key players back for every team, which means its only going to get stronger. It will be a four team if not five team race with Utah's development next season.

I have to tell you my bracket isn't very good. My girl picked a better final four then I did. I fell into the Kansas trap into the final four when my gut told me Ohio State. Although I do have West Virgina winning the tourney because I think Huggins has the team to do so this season. I like Baylor but they will have problems with St. Marys. Northern Iowa is the new Loyola Marymount heading to the elite 8 over a beat up Michigan State team. Ohio should take care of NIU but who knows. Cuse will have a tough time with Kansas State who I think is playing the best basketball of the tournament besides Kentucky. As for the Wildcats I don't think they play hard enough to win and Calipari doesn't deserve to win with a team that was bought.

My guess is one of these small schools becomes George Mason and we will see this tournament end with a great final four and Championship game. All the games thus far have been great.

Oh you want to know about DUKE? I really don't care what they do, think they have the easiest road to the final four but anything can happen.

As for the March Madness Homie week!

I was 20-12 this weekend on bets coming through big on Sunday going 4-1 and my boy Mike going an impressive 8-0 on every game he bet that day. We had a blast sitting in the sports book 12 hours a day hanging on the edge of my seat with money on every game. I wish I had more money to blow on these games that's how much fun it is. Mike T yelling obscenities in the sports book causing everyone to look at him in disgust. Jack sleeping at 6pm in the middle of a noise crowded sports book. we had to cover in in cocktail napkins for that. They you have my boy Eddie starting the weekend 0-5 but rolling his way back with 7 out of his last 10 bets winning. And last but not least we have the what i should have done guy. Frankie! Every bet was I should have done this or I should have done that. Come on Frank only straight bets only man. You know better then that. I also want to know what goes on with that OFF NITE ACTION as you call it.

Ranking for the tournament look like this!

#1Mike T
#2 Sims
#3 E Double D I E
#4 Craig
#5 JACK D
#6 Frankie

If Jack and Craig wouldn't have snuck off to the tables during games to LOSE money they might have had a better ranking. Frankie gets the last seed becuase the first time in HOMIE POOL history all his teams were out after Saturdays games.

All in all what a great first week we will do it again next year!
