[KCClone1]

My only lock prediction is that the Willie Nelson commercial will be the most annoying this March.

Burger King would like a word.

Lol. They seriously can’t keep playing that, can they? Oh no.

Ony a braindead hok would ever think fans from other schools from across the nation would come out to cheer them on.

They just expect things done for them.

 

[chuckd4735]

Yup, 'Bama fans have nothing else going on.

You'd think a guy that's been in college for 11 years would be smarter than that.

Alabama also playing in Birmingham, so it makes sense.

Yeah how the season finished means automatic carryover to the next week, amirite?

Of course not, but would you rather head into a tournament after a couple of nice wins or a couple of embarrassing losses? In the end, though, it doesn't matter what either of us thinks. It'll be an interesting game regardless how it turns out.

I am working on my Selection Sunday tidbits, but here is my first one. Kennesaw State is the only new NCAA Tournament team this year. They continue the streak of EVERY NCAA Tournament having at least one team participating in their first ever NCAA Tournament.

Too bad OSU didn't get in, but just not enough good wins. OU and TT pretty obviously didn't deserve a selection.

Not wanting to overlook the 1st round opponent, but I was kind of hoping to avoid any of the top 4 Big East teams. I guess Xavier is probably the best match-up for the Cyclones of those 4.

To those experienced with selling NCAA tourney tickets, when is the best time to list them?

I've seen enough ISU basketball to know that what happened a week or two prior to the first round simply didn't matter.

Kennesaw State was also TJs first win as head coach at Iowa State.

Some suspect seeding for the Big 12 but end of the day 60% of the league ended up with six of the top 24 seeds in the tourney. Impressive.

And lots of Alabama and Auburn fans live in Birmingham. / sarcasm. They are in different pods, so they won't be at each others games unless they are locals that bought all session tickets.

Will be a tough decision for Alabama fans in the Auburn vs. Iowa match-up. Most will probably just be hoping for a meteor strike and enjoy a nice beverage or two @ Dave's on the Southside.

Not sure if he's more annoying than Jennifer Garner in that ad. Quite frankly, they just need to go back to Spike, Chuck, and Sam if they want to continue them. Jim Nantz is also really annoying.

They must expect other fanbases to be as pathetic as their own. I saw people in hawk gear at both of ISU's games in KC this week. Seriously, who has so little going on in life to do that?

Are they the same session? If so, then you may be right. If not I can't imagine Bama fans are going to spend extra money to root against Auburn.

YOU RULE!

 

[madguy30]

Tourney commercials are better than Super Bowl commercials.

Just an assumption that Bama fans purchased most the all session tickets when they went on sale as they have known for awhile where they were playing.
