In the past I haven’t been a HUGE basketball fan, but this year I have really gotten into it (College basketball, I hate pro ball). Anyway, every year around this time starts ‘March Madness’ and everyone begins to get their brackets together, trying to pick who will be in the Final Four. And of course, I am no different…

So, I thought I would toss my bracket out there & let you guys take a gander at it…maybe even compare it to yours (yes, mine probably does stink more). Also, fair warning, my bracket is somewhat slanted because I am a HUGE Clemson Tiger fan! Anyway, who are your picks for the Final Four? :)

    I have to admit, I admire your fanhood for picking Clemson to go all the way. I am a Duke fan, and didn’t pick them getting past the 3rd round! Of course, after last night’s performance they might not make it past the second. (And really should have gotten beat last night).

    I’d love to see Clemson go all the way, though. They are my second favorite ACC team, due to the fact that I lived in the Upstate for 5 years and kind of assimilated Clemsonitis…

    Justin, when I read your comment I literally laughed out loud (’admire my fanhood’).  Not a laughing at you moment, more of a laughing at me, as in, ‘wow, I really am an insane fan’….lol!

    I am a huge fan and Clemson hasn’t had this good of a team in years. We have potential, but if I am honest…I just want to see us make it to round 2 & do well right now…yikes! :)  On the other hand, I also feel like Clemson has a National Champion football team every year…look where that’s got me! lol!

    Duke had a tough game last night, but I think Belmont had a better squad than most realized and they were hungry (and had Vince Gill in the stands, that’s gotta count for something…right?)! I would love to see Duke make it into the Final four.  I wish it were all ACC teams there, but I don’t think Miami can take the South…lol!

    Anyway, sorry for my long comment and thanks for dropping a line! Happy March Madness! :)

    Thanks!

    Pudge,

    Your bracket looks about like mine…losing! I can’t believe Drake & UConn got beat. Man. But I gotta pick my Tarheels over your Tigers… Well, gotta go get the grill going for the game (my favorite part is our friends hanging out with us watching the game…People of the Table as one pastor called it).

    [...] It seems that everyone else (Pudge and Matt) is posting their brackets in their blogs today, so I figured I’d do the same. I set mine up on Thursday. I love college basketball, but I don’t don’t watch any games until March. It’s just the way I roll. [...]

    My brother, I know that you had to pick Clemson because most of the team probably goes to your church, but the Dukies. Seriously, did you not see them play this year? (Full Disclosure: I am a huge Kentucky fan and we would cross the “D” and “E” off all Duke hats in the mall. ) I hate to see that your bracket didn’t turn out the way you had hoped. Who knows, Clemson may do very well next year.

    I’m really sorry about Clemson. I have to cast my vote for Kansas. I really think we have a shot at winning this year. (I say “we” because I graduated from KU and have lived in Lawrence for over 30 years). Can’t wait for Friday night!
