Re: 2012/13 College Basketball Season

well, I got an account set up but cannot figure out how to join a particular group. It has "create group" in there like you are starting new but can't seem to locate groups that are already set up. Any ideas?

I think Stu set it up. Go to CBS sports, set up a user acct. with your username and own password. Group shows name as 'Joe Bonamassa Forum, jbonamassa.com in the line below which might be p/w. my computer remembered the login from the link and I don't.
Some of these brackets are doozies and some big names are lined up to go head to head before the sweet sixteen. yikes Aztecs look to match up pretty even against the Sooners.

Re: 2012/13 College Basketball Season

So we have 3 Philly teams making the cut...LaSalle, Temple & Villanova. My husband is a very passionate college basketball fan. He frequently works conspiracy theories & not just in sports. lol Most of the time I think the guy has a wild imagination, then sometimes I wonder...Does anyone ever think brackets may strategically be plotted with elimination in mind to get to teams facing each other for a big TV draw?

His latest theory is how Villanova is seeded to play UNC. We would have been better off with a lower seed. He reminded me of this game changing call when we played them before. Jay Wright took the high road at the time & saying bad calls are part of the game, etc., which of course is true. Hubby thinks TV likes UNC and it would be a big draw to see them play Kansas, where Roy Williams coached previously.

Good Luck to everyone, I'm hoping all my teams get pass the first round for starters, but who knows, there has been so much jekyl/hyde this season, anything can happen. wink

Re: 2012/13 College Basketball Season

I wouldn't doubt his theories at all. Whenever there's a question of propriety, just follow the money. The fix is always just around the corner. A couple of the brackets guarantee elimination of some power house teams early, and/or a big draw for tv in a low viewing timeslot.

Re: 2012/13 College Basketball Season

WOW, what a choke by my Cats today?? From National Champions to out in the 1st round of the NIT, now that's some real basketball history making stuff there. This should be a real lesson in 1 & out does not work! This team never did get it, every one kept saying just wait, they'll be there DIDN'T HAPPEN. Not saying anything bad about them they are all great athletes just too young and no leadership, again should be a lesson to Cal and any school about keeping these kids around. I heard one of the commentators tonight say next year's class is the best ever in history? Will be interesting if some of these kids don't go to NBA or transfer, who'll be on the bench. Post game interviews including Cauley Stein, all admitting they are not ready for the NBA. This kids had some humbling moments tonight, I'll post the video once they get it on the website. 

Trying to get ready for this spur of the moment London trip I haven't had a chance to even look at the bracket and matchups!
I'm not sure if the bracket you're finding on CBS is the one I had done last couple of years the link is in the orignal NCAA basketball thread, post 322, when I first clicked it opened to the brackets but I could not remember my user name & password and it will not open that page again only takes me to log in page. But you can try link here, or search it as jbonamassa.com the password is "bonawho" no quotations. Hopefully it's all set to enter this year, I've requested to have my password reset but yet to receive the email. I suppose I'll be for Louisville! One of the few times you'll hear me say this in March! Go Cards!!!

Go Aztecs, I will be glad I'm out of the loop for tv next week. I don't think there will be much to cheer for.
Good luck to the survivors.

Re: 2012/13 College Basketball Season

I didn't have Harvard either, who did? Congrats to Ole Miss, we already lost Mizzou last night (I had Colo St) smile and were going to be down to just one SEC team if they don't beat Wisconsin. There's that 12-5 upset again. I'll watch some of the SDSU game tonight and pull for them, not that it will help.

Anyone with a lick of sense did (and I say that as a dyed-in-the-wool Mizzou fan). Tigers away from Mizzou arena the last couple of months have been quite predictable:

  • Play sluggishly in first half, get down big, stage furious comeback in second half, find a way to lose it at the end (usually with a bad shot or dumb turnover)

  • Play great in the first half, get out to big lead, then go away from what got them the lead, find a way to lose it at the end (usually with a bad shot or dumb turnover)

Chemistry on this year's team never quite came together after Michael Dixon's departure before the season started...

I'll be! Aztecs good team showed up when it counted. I might be missing some exciting games. Now on to that 15 seed FGSU team that just knocked off Georgetown yikes This might be a good chance to proceed to a sweet level. smile

Re: 2012/13 College Basketball Season

I can just see the headline tomorrow...two out of three ain't bad...thumbs up to LaSalle and Temple...I'm not super surprised 'Nova lost, too many turnovers. They were down by 20 then up by 2, sorta' like the season, all over the place...enough to get your hopes up when they were making a comeback. wink

Really surprised at some of the upsets...can't believe Georgetown lost!

As Rick said Good Luck to the survivors.

Such a fortuitous loss that Elite 8 is about as easy as staying at an EZ-8 motel.

It is all about the upset this year, the whole course of the season, nothing like it I ever recall.  Parity, and the football line about any given Sumday [sic] can be applied to college pumkin pushing as any given game anywhere anyway.

Too true sir! Some mighty heads are rolling this year. A bit of luck and we might have a household, errr hotelroom, issue. The wife is a big time Golden Gopher fan. hmm Oh well, can't count those chickens yet.

Big heads keep dropping. I thought Gonazaga was overrated. Getting a 1 or 2 seed seems like a curse.
Wide open for the duration so good luck Angela, I think we are the only ones left with a dog in the fight.

Re: 2012/13 College Basketball Season

Rick, I think you forgot about Rocket with his Orange. wink  Or maybe you meant games being played today.

I was listening to sports radio this morning in the car...Temple against Indiana...tough order as well as LaSalle going against Ole Miss. One of the guys on the show this morning is predicting Creighton to upset Duke.
