[NCAA Tourney] Who's got their bracket filled out already?

[Jeff Wilder]

My other problem with taping it is that me yelling at the TV until midnight sat night is going to tick off the wife.

Anyone else having this problem? (the first )

Get TiVo. Not only can you set it to record any or all games you want, based on team or event, you can also easily skip timeouts and halftime, and you can play your own replays. A typical college basketball game runs about 2:10 ... if I watch via TiVo, it runs about 1:15.

See my other post about TiVo being on sale. ($99 for the normally $299 80-hour box.)

Oops.

As you said replays cannot be used to call a foul.

As I also said, my point isn't that I think the replay should have led to a foul call, but rather that I don't understand why nobody is even mentioning the foul. I watched CBS "At the Half," "SportsCenter," and "Game Night," and nobody so much as said, "You know what? The Spartans are actually lucky a foul wasn't called when the defender bumped Sparks on that final shot ... as clearly shown here in the replay." Very unusual.

About the call- his foot looked like it was on the line, but I would have ruled the same way the officals did, as I am not entirely certain. (I am more of a storyteller than referee type judge.) If there is a questionable call Ill take the story over rules, If there is no doubt I stick to the rules.
For Jeff an crothian, does your take on this call reflect your gaming style?

Okay so an update on my Bracket poll - I got a look at the current scores and ran the numbers.
Should NC win it all = I win and get 50 $ (hmm new gaming book, drool)
Should Illni win it all - I get sqaut.
if both loose - I place 2nd - and will take the wife out to dinner.
Im not used to actually winning money gambling, its going to my head.
And due to a combination of gaming and night classes I cant watch any of the games live.

Go Illini!!

 

[Crothian]

what a game, 15 point lead under 40 seconds left.....

 

[Dracomeander]

Now all we need is for Michigan State to win for an all Big Ten Final.

Although I think that would be a tougher game for the Illini than UNC would be. Michigan State has improved a lot and they know the Illini's game.

 

[Crothian]

Ya, it is always harder to play teams from your conference, but a Big Ten only finaol game would be fantastic!!!

 

[Crothian]

UNC has just taken over this game, they have a 11 point lead and are just looking good......

 

[Dracomeander]

Yeah, Michigan State left what little shooting accuracy they had in the locker room and are starting to look desparate.
