He's married though, and is right handed. Also he's mostly bald. He says me and my brother "stole his hair"...

Your dad is my spirit animal.

Do you enjoy beer and plasma physics? If so, you just might be his spirit animal!

So, do we trust Vegas or 538? My money's on Vegas. 538 didn't predict the election correctly at all, everything they say needs to be taken with a grain of salt now, IMO. Like seriously, that Presidential race shook my faith in odds-making as a whole.

When I see a semi-plastic fluid interact with a magnetic field under ideal lab conditions I just feel all giddy inside.

Fair warning, this won't be on CBS this year. It will be on TBS, also the Final Four will be on TBS too.

Bracket Matrix has Arizona on the 4 line right now:

Hearing that TBS is changing the format to differentiate from CBS. They will be making the entire field alphabetically at the start of the show and then slotting the brackets. Gonna miss teams waiting the entire show for their name to be called. Loved that suspense.

It’s like, let’s be different and chew our food on the outside instead of inside of our mouths.

Yeah, it will be a real shame that ASsU won't have to wait to the bitter end to find out their bubble got burst.

Today's the day!

I've got my Selection Sunday tree up and decorated. I hardly slept last night with my constant giggling in anticipation.

Let's get this thing started.

EastCoastCat · Post by **EastCoastCat** » Sun Mar 11, 2018 7:51 am

No better feeling in the world on selection sunday when you know your team is in and all you are a rooting for is a 3 seed in the west.

TBS is showing the movie 'Get Hard' to get you primed for the huge bracket reveal

Looking forward to UA being the 4 seed in KU's bracket and the eventual pounding we'll give the Cats. Better get some more dress shirts ready for the Sweat Master, he'll need them.

Kansas couldn't even compete against ASU at home and would've likely finished 9th or 10th in the Pac 12, what makes them think they could hang with Arizona?

Phylek · Post by **Phylek** » Sun Mar 11, 2018 2:44 pm

Oh dear me. Not U of A as the 4 seed in 1 seed Kansas' bracket. Whatever would we do?

You have no point guard. Trier is a chucker. Alkins will shoot your team out of a game. Your offense doesn't run through your two best players - Ayton and Rustic. We also have the better coach. Kansas by 20.

Really annoying audio issues

ASUHATER! · Post by **ASUHATER!** » Sun Mar 11, 2018 3:09 pm

wow. no team with 9 losses to non tournament teams has ever gotten in. they're basically the worst power conference team to ever get into the tournament.

UAEebs86 · Post by **UAEebs86** » Sun Mar 11, 2018 3:09 pm

ASU better be in a play in game

phxcat23 · Post by **phxcat23** » Sun Mar 11, 2018 3:09 pm

at least make them sweat it out, and announce those bubble teams at the end

the committee must've still been infatuated with the Kansas and Xavier wins and brushed off their performance the last 2 1/2 months.

They're really going to have to explain that logic and I highly doubt the things they say make sense.

Yeah, this is pretty ugly. No one really cares unless you're on the bubble.

Sheese, Oklahoma and ASU both fell apart and made it.

Oklahoma in too wow. Embarrassing bracket and we haven't even seen it yet.
