Ok, so it has been a few days since our last post and we are very sorry for this. We hope that March Madness has been able to entertain you during our absence. It's been a real topsy turvy tournament that has left our brackets' butt-holes quite sore. Anyways, we really don't have much for you today in the name of iTunes Tuesday. Our suggestion would be to stop listening to crappy music. Our strenuous jobs demand our attention now, so we must keep today's post short. Hopefully the Mario Brother's come rescue us like Princess Toadstool and we can just warp through one of those green tunnels straight outta work. So without further adieu, we leave you with one funny video. It had us laughing for a minute.
"You Don't Know ME!!!!!

"Suck it, Trebek" - Sean Connory
No new followers this week, and no one did anything cool to help us out this week. Freaking jerks. So the only thing deserving of our thanks, is March Madness for showing up. In light of the greatest two days of sports and our jobs getting in the way, there will be no Filmmaking Friday post tomorrow. We told you not to get too comfortable.

"You're not funny. You look funny, but you're not funny" - Funny People
It's March 17th, so obviously a celebration is in order. Today is the one month anniversary of the blog. Daquiri's! It's also St. Patrick's Day, so here's to a day full of Guinness, U2, Leprechauns, Limericks, and bagpipes.
Since last week's Wild-Card Wednesday failed miserably, we'll turn it over to the professionals this time. When we were still roommates, we probably spent 8 or 9 hours a day entertaining ourselves on YouTube. We've seen all the videos like Charlie Bit Me & Boom Goes the Dynamite. The real treasures are TV, movie & stand-up clips. Here's links to our ten favorite clips. we promise you'll like them.
Lucky Louis - In The Park
Eddie Murphy - Better Than McDonald's
Borat Learns Dinner Etiquette
Eddie Murphy - Rocky & Italians
Lucky Louis - Getting Married
Bernie Mac - Kings of Comedy
Lucky Louis - On Drinking
Borat Learns Karate
Eddie Murphy - Guys' Secrets
Chris Tucker - Def Comedy Jam
There's a good chance you laughed so hard that you peed your pants. Luckily, you ain't cool unless you pee your pants.

Work Sucks, I know -Blink 182
OK, so the past few weeks we have given well documented gripes for our particular distaste in certain songs and artists. We will go in a little different direction today. In keeping things brief, as both our jobs demand our time, we will simply list some songs that have managed to keep their attention in our playlists recently.
"The Enemy" by The White Tie Affair
"The Girl Got Hot" by Weezer
"Up Up & Away" by Kid Cudi
"Popular Demand" by Lupe Fiasco
"Flashback" by Jack Splash and Lupe
"Dreams" by J. Cole
"My Darlin Baby" by Lil Wayne and Drake
"The Shot Heard Round The World" by Boys Like Girls
Again, we apologize for the short post. It may seem that we are unable to give our all, but we assure you that we can only give 100%, because the other 10% is donated to charity.

I'm not here to service you, I'm here to service these young boys- Role Models
Sup Minotards. You are all very fortunate to be receiving you're dose of Sports this Monday Morning, as I am excruciatingly tired from playing a midnight hockey game last night. My compadre happens to be tied down with job responsibilities, so I am forced to fight my heavy eyes and spew out some garbage for you guys. Before I move on to the NCAA tournament, I will toss out a couple sports related news items. Ladainian Tomlinson has just signed a two year deal with the New York Jets. We are particularly dissapointed in LT's decision to move to New York over Minnesota. A Favre & LT tandem would have been quite fun to cheer for. Also, David Beckham has torn his achilles and appears likely to miss the World Cup this summer. Quite a bummer on his part. After Texas dissapointed in the Big 12 Tournament, and the Stars continue to falter, the Mavericks sealed a crappy weekend in sports for myself by getting pummeled by the dismal New York Knicks. I felt like Brennan after licking the white dog poo, "I have a belly full of white dog crap in me, and now you lay this sh*# on me?"
Anyways....with the NCAA Tournament just days away, I know everyone is excited to pump out those Brackets. For you're entertainment, and our chagrin, he is my NCAA bracket:
MIDWEST REGION:
1. Kansas over 16. Lehigh
8. UNLV over 9. N. Iowa
5. Michigan St. over 12. New Mexico St.
4. Maryland over 13. Houston
6. Tennessee over 11. SDSU
3. Georgetown over 14. Ohio
Ugh, ok, in all honesty, typing all my picks out has already become tedious. And not too mention, you clowns are given high quality H2O every day from us. I will not force feed you my picks of wisdom. I challenge you to take the training wheels off and make the picks on your own. Besides, predicting the outcome of each region in the bracket is like predicting Kirstie Ally's weight. We know its a HUUUGE event, and there is a lot of BIG upsets. Unfortunately, the games are so up and down, not even we know what to expect. So, we bid everyone good luck in their Pools, unless of course we are in the same one.

"I Demand the Sum of... ONE MILLION DOLLARS!" - Dr. Evil
First, we'd like to congratulate ourselves for finishing our #30DaysOfRewrites project. For the last month, we spent an hour or two everyday taking notes and perfecting the script. Sometimes we simply made minor dialogue changes or re-wrote a few lines in a scene. Other days, we had to completely revamp things, add to the plot, and even delete a few scenes.
Writing a screenplay is time-consuming enough. Writing a screenplay while working a combined 140 hours a week was freaking miserable. Squeezing in text messages and aim chats throughout the day and trying to stay on the same page was challenging. There were plenty of days that we felt like putting it off. But Somehow, we managed to force each other to stick with it and finish. All too often, it seemed like Big Bob was telling us we better get hungry real fast.
We'll use the next couple days to finish typing all of our editing decisions and to re-read the script. We need to make sure everything flows right. Then, in a week or two, we'll finally be ready to get famous for nothing. Unfortunately, getting famous will require us to spend money that we don't have. In order to get our script read by Hollywood producers, we have to get feedback from accomplished screenwriters. It would be awesome if they provided that service for free, but it runs anywhere from $60-$300. It is also suggested that we get our script critiqued by 3 different writers. This allows for 3 different views and opinions, providing us a clearer idea as to what needs changed.
That's where the Ad banners you probably noticed at the top of the page come in. From the same guys crazy enough to think they can sell a Hollywood movie script, we present the "Million Dollar Ad Banner"! An English kid had a similar idea, that was equally as ridiculous . In a mere 4 months, some crooked toothed bloke became a millionaire. We figured we'd ride this brilliant marketing wave and give it a shot as well. Perhaps we earn a million dollars as well, giving us the opportunity to fund the entire movie, or maybe we only make enough money to buy a coke and a smile, and shut the eff up. Who knows.
We do ask that all of our loyal readers help us with this project. Assisting us will come at no cost, besides the shame and loss of dignity that comes with associating yourselves with us. The more traffic and hits our blog experiences, the greater chance we have for companies to willingly advertise on our page. This means, we must increase our following. The more viewers a site has, the more likely they are to make money on their investment. And that is a scientific fact! So, we would really appreciate anyone that tweets, changes their facebook status or tells their friends about this site.
To all our loyal minions, and those of you visiting, please enjoy a safe weekend. We hope that by Monday our post will be that our "Million Dollar Ad Banner" took off and we are rich.

"Leave it on the doorstep, and get the hell outta here" - Home Alone
First and foremost, thanks to everyone that suffered through yesterday's post. We tried something new and thought it was going to be amazing...Samsonite, we were way off.
Since we posted a novel yesterday, We'll keep it short and sweet today.
Thanks to our new followers, Offsider and Zach. Hopefully we are doing something right to get some interest from people we don't know. A shout out to Jordan "Jersey Girl" Mooring for checking us out as well.

Pardon the Interruption
We've got quite a surprise for Wild-Card Wednesday. Anyone that's had the pleasure of kicking it with us, knows that we're always game for an argument. Especially with each other. We've had some fantastic debates, so we thought we'd share one of our iChat one-up sessions with everyone. Most of arguments start innocently enough and with us in agreement about something. But, sooner or later, we always throw down.
**Disclaimer: We apologize, but this argument took place over a year ago. It was before we cleaned up our filthy mouths. We've edited it for our younger viewers, though.
January 1, 2009
Dog12: Wow.. the jets are officially the worst most retarded team on the planet
Trash9: Why
Dog12: a) firing Mangini i thought was a knee-jerk reaction, and not a good one
Dog12: he’s taken them from basically terrible all the time to a pretty decent contender
Dog12: but b) you see what these retard players are saying about Favre
Trash9: Oh yea I saw
Trash9: F#!@ Thomas Jones
Dog12: F#!@in moron
Dog12: but u see what one of their other players was saying before this.. right after the game
Trash9: Maybe what?
Dog12: he was like “if he is gunna come to training camp and be part of the team then we want him, but if he doesn’t wanna go through all that with us then he should go somewhere else'
Dog12: some f#!@in 4th year no-name said that
Dog12: if you’re a future hall of famer, and you’re still coming to training camp, then you can say that about Favre
Trash9: Otherewise shut the f#!@ up
Dog12: but if you’re some punk with no legacy, and nothing even resembling a QB behind Favre, you better just be glad you’re not forced to give Favre blowjobs to keep him on your team
Trash9: Hahahaha
Dog12: "If he's dedicated and he wants to come back and do this, and do it the right way ... and be here when we're here in training camp and the minicamps and working out with us ... then I'm fine with it," Rhodes said. "But don't come back if it's going to be half-hearted or he doesn't want to put the time in with us."
Dog12: that’s what Kerry Rhodes said about Favre
Trash9: Clearly Favre has never been halfhearted bout anything
Dog12: another jet spoke anonymously saying that Favre was distant and not a good teammate and shit
Dog12: did u see the clip of him talking to the team before their game against Miami?
Trash9: Naw
Trash9: But apparently the Jets forgot who they were only a year ago
Dog12: it was awesome, he was just like don’t worry about the other things, just go out and play, if it works out it works out, but just play hard.. I love you guys
Trash9: And what these 20 yr old punks want, his old ass to go the club with them?
Trash9: F#!@in selfish punks always tryin to find a scapegoat
Dog12: man people are idiots
Dog12: I’m reading this article right now..
Dog12: The other a vintage Favre interception: A ball thrown off his back foot across the field.
The type of throw for which quarterbacks get benched. But not Favre. He’s a legend. He was just trying to make a play.
Dog12: do they not watch NFL or even look at stats? The reason others get benched and he doesn’t.. is because other idiots do that all the time and do nothing good
Dog12: Favre is a first ballot hall of famer and all time leader in almost every passing category b/c 9 times out of 10 he makes a great play 'trying to make a play'
Dog12: the guy didn’t just fall into MVP awards, career records and Super Bowls by throwing picks all the time and his team bailing him out.. what is wrong with people
Trash9: Right
Trash9: Typical John Clayton-like comment
Trash9: Same people that will defend Romo but hate on Favre
Dog12: right, then later this moron, man I don’t know how we aren’t sports writers...
Trash9: Favre has earned the right
Dog12: says that Homlgren turned Favre into the QB he is today.... or was ten years ago
Dog12: Doesnt that dumb f#!@ know Favre had the second best season of his career just last year
Trash9: Right
Trash9: I hate the mall here, too many good things I wanna buy
Dog12: get Marley and Me
Trash9: Ha now way
Dog12: y not
Trash9: I ain’t tryin to get emo
Dog12: marley and me isnt emo tho
Dog12: its uplifting
Trash9: Yea, so was the holocaust
Dog12: yea, for the Germans
Dog12: Yo, check out this ridiculous profile quote…
Dog12: can hang with me but you gotta have a sense of humor, take a low blow here and there in good fun, and like to party it up, if you wanna join the our squad you gotta hold your own, drink till you drop and be proud that you puked your brains out then drink some more,
Trash9: Whooooooops
Trash9: Man tom’s game is gonna suck
Dog12: y
Trash9: Just for how much id cheer for both teams, it makes me so impartial
Trash9: So I won't really enjoy the game
Dog12: what game
Trash9: Chargers colts
Dog12: I’m colts all the way
Dog12: for two reasons, a) peyton
Dog12: b) if the colts win, they got a good chance to win the Super Bowl
Trash9: As do the chargers
Dog12: if the chargers win, we have no one left to cheer for with a real shot to win it
Trash9: Chargers have as good a shot as anyone
Dog12: ehh i dunno about that
Trash9: Whaat
Trash9: Yea man, they comin in very hot, and record only looks bad, but remember those 2 early season losses that shoulda been wins
Dog12: yea
Dog12: and you know what is weird about this playoff, that gives them more of a chance than usual
Trash9: Hm?
Dog12: there were teams like the Pats and Jets that didnt get in the playoffs that had really, really good records
Dog12: so you’d think like man, the playoffs are loaded this year
Dog12: but there are plenty of wack, bad teams in the playoffs
Trash9: Yea
Trash9: But giants were wack last year and won
Trash9: So anything can happen in the playoffs
Dog12: yea I guess
Dog12: but I mean as I had been saying all year long I thought the giants were really, relly good
Dog12: its near impossible to have a great record in the NFC east, especially last year
Dog12: though the boys went 13-3
Trash9: U did not say all year long that they were really good
Trash9: Just said they didn't suck
Dog12: nah when you would say how wack the giants were cuz u hate them from being in the boys division
Dog12: I was always like they got lots of good players, they were just strugglin to win games
Trash9: Yea cuz they are wack
Trash9: They worse this year
Dog12: like Miami I feel like was actually not as good as New England or the Jets
Dog12: Teneesee is the most over achieving team in league history
Trash9: I agree
Dog12: Chargers are 8-8, the Cardinals have no business in the playoffs
Dog12: Minnesota is trash
Trash9: Feels that way, but their defense is proposterous
Trash9: And great run game
Dog12: Philly is an utter joke getting into the playoffs
Trash9: Philly is better than the giants
Dog12: ur on drugs
Trash9: Behind the cowboys, they were my NFC Super Bowl pick
Dog12: i bet they lose to Sota
Trash9: Ur an idiot
Dog12: i actually wouldn’t be surprised if the wack Falcons made the Super Bowl
Trash9: They suck
Dog12: yea but they basically got a bye playing the Cardinals
Trash9: Cards are better
Dog12: and then they'll play Carolina, in Carolina so they don’t have to travel in the cold
Dog12: dude ur f#!@in retarded if u think the Cards are better than the Falcons
Trash9: They are
Dog12: the cardinals went 8-8 and went 3-5 outside the NFC West
Trash9: So
Dog12: the Cardinals might be the worst team to ever make the playoffs
Trash9: Naw Falcons are
Dog12: the Falcons played in probably the best or second best division this year and went what, 11-5?
Trash9: Don't sice it
Trash9: That division blows balls
Dog12: name two divisions that are definitely better than it
Dog12: and dont say the NFC east
Trash9: NFC east by far
Dog12: you’re an idiot
Trash9: Wow, u sure this ain’t a moron im talkin to
Trash9: Cuz NFC east is clearly better
Dog12: NFC east was soft this year
Dog12: Cowboys were the most underachieving team in NFL history
Dog12: if they woulda been as good as they should have been, then yea
Dog12: but as the NFC east played out, no way
Trash9: ur on drugs
Dog12: the NFC south had a better overall record
Dog12: had two teams win 11 games
Trash9: Whoopdy do
Trash9: Falcons overachieved, they suck
Dog12: did better vs the AFC than the NFC east
Trash9: So we did bettter vs them
Trash9: Dallas beat Tampa with Brad Johnson
Trash9: And Dallas would smack the wack Falcons
Dog12: on Drugs
Trash9: Ur an idiot if u think they are better than Dallas
Dog12: Philly beat ATL by 13, that puts them about 30 points ahead of the bad boys
Trash9: That bears no logic
Dog12: hahaha
Trash9: Falcons also had a cupcake schedule
Trash9: Cowboys schedule was tough as crap
Trash9: Ending the season with the Steelers Giants Ravens and Philly
Dog12: yea but before that Dallas played Skins Niners Seahawks
Trash9: Falcons played West Lib and Cal PA
Dog12: might as well have just chucked 3 wins on the record
Dog12: Cal Pa would loc city the Cowboys
Trash9: Skins were better than anyone the Falcons played
Dog12: you’re an idiot
Trash9: Its true
Dog12: outside their division, the Falcons played 4 playoff teams, the fag-boys played 3
Dog12: and the boys went 0-3 vs playoff teams out of their division
Dog12: Falcons went 2-2 vs playoff teams
Trash9: We still played more playoff teams in total
Dog12: yea and no
Dog12: you guys played 2 playoff teams twice each in your division, only because you guys lost to Philly
Dog12: otherwise Philly wouldn’t be a playoff team
Trash9: U can't say that
Trash9: Philly is a playoff team
Trash9: So that's that
Trash9: And a good playoff team
Trash9: They beat the steelers and us
Dog12: yea I know but what I’m saying is
Dog12: of course you play more playoff teams if two teams in your division made it, bc you didn’t
Dog12: two playoff teams made it in the south too, but the Falcons can’t play themselves
Trash9: Our division is still better
Dog12: no way
Trash9: uhmm, Super Bowl champs and the Eagles
Trash9: And a Cowboys team that still went 9-7
Dog12: Carolina Panthers have the same record as the Giants
Dog12: Falcons have better record than Philly
Trash9: And Fiants beat them
Dog12: and the 3rd and 4th place teams are the same in each
Trash9: And we beat Tampa
Trash9: And Skins beat NO
Trash9: So tiebreaker us
Dog12: haha well a)regardless they are basically even
Trash9: Eagles also beat ATL
Trash9: So we beat that whole division
Dog12: and two all I said was the falcons are way better than the cardinals, and said they played in one of the two toughest divisions
Trash9: How are we not better asshole
Trash9: AFC south failed to win 1 game against us
Trash9: U said name 2 better divisions
Trash9: NFC east is better
Dog12: the NFC east is really the only division you can make a valid argument for, possibly, possibly the AFC east
Dog12: but i say no
Trash9: Not possibly AFC east,for sure
Trash9: U kiddin me
Trash9: And AFC south
Dog12: you’er on drugs
Dog12: the Bills are ten times worse than any team in the NFC south
Dog12: and they don’t have anyone as good as the Panthers
Dog12: AFC south? yea ha
Dog12: with the Jaguars
Dog12: get the eff outta here
Trash9: Ur on f#!@in drugs
Trash9: The Jags sucked this year, but still had to play Titans and Colts 4 times, so that hurt them
Dog12: they still went 3-7 outside the division
Dog12: they blow balls
Dog12: and that’s the whole point..
Trash9: The whole point is ur sicin the NFC south
Dog12: no I’m not
Trash9: And they bout to get locy doked in the Plaaayyyyoffs
Dog12: I said the Falcons had a much better record than the Cards and played in a much tougher division
Dog12: to say the Cardinals are better than the Falcons defies all logic and is insane
Dog12: the Cardinals have the same non-division record as the f#!@in Jaguars
Trash9: I’m just pickin them to win
Dog12: they won 3 games out of the NFC west, get the hell out of here.. that’s the same the Niners won
Trash9: Don't matter, I still think they'll beat the falcons
Dog12: you’re an idiot
Trash9: Ur an idiot for thinkin its insane
Dog12: wait, hahahaha
Dog12: the Niners actually won more non division games than the cardinals
Trash9: Doesn’t make u guys better
Dog12: the Cardinals were one of the ten most ridiculous plays on earth away from missing the playoffs
Trash9: U lost to the cardinals
Dog12: yea on a moron coaching play
Dog12: it was a bigger fluke that they beat us than how Texas lost to Tech
Trash9: Not even close
Trash9: Now ur sicin
Dog12: no, now your sicing
Dog12: Texas dude dropped the interception
Trash9: What, ur on drugs
Dog12: guys drop picks that are in their hands
Dog12: waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more often
Dog12: than teams start first and goal on the one, with timeouts, and run out of time with over a minute left and don’t get in and still have timeouts left
Trash9: Droppin a pick from heaven and then that dude breakin 3 tacklers and tip-toeing for a TD
Trash9: Ur on drugs
Trash9: that happens all the time
Trash9: Texas play is imbedded in sports history as one of the craziest series of events, Niners thing is nothin
Trash9: That's happens every week with them
Dog12: first of all don’t ever sice that
Dog12: by next year or the year after, outside of Texas fans no one will ever even remember what happened
Dog12: and second of all that was a bigger thing this year because of the magnitude of the game
Trash9: Ur on drugs
Dog12: I’m on drugs?
Trash9: the game has already been on ESPN classic
Trash9: Ur still drunk aren't you?
Trash9: That's the only way to explain u thinkin the end of the Niners game was more nuts than Tech vs Texas
Dog12: dude u know how many ESPN classic games there are
Dog12: yea it was a sweet game, but don’t say its forever embedded in sports history
Dog12: the Giants Super Bowl winning drive is something that will forever be remembered
Dog12: Doug Flutie's hail mary, the band is on the field.. those are endings that get forever remembered
Trash9: Ok, when that play is nominated for the top plays of the year, it’s something to be remembered
Dog12: yea, of course it’s something to be remembered.. but can you tell me all the plays nominated for top plays at the Espy’s last year
Dog12: or even what last years top college football play was?
Trash9: That play single handedly decided the outcome of a whole season
Trash9: Including the Heisman
Trash9: Yea
Trash9: That sweet catch was
Dog12: that sweet catch
Dog12: way to explain it
Trash9: Was from Mississippii I believe
Dog12: exactly
Dog12: I remember the play your talking about.. but neither of us know what team
Dog12: who it was against or anything
Dog12: and that’s only a year later
Trash9: And Appalachian State
Trash9: Beatin michigan
Trash9: On the blocked FG
Dog12: 1AA beating a D1 top 5 team, obviously memorable
Trash9: What about that school with the million laterals
Dog12: high school play
Dog12: or D3 college or something
Trash9: wasn't high school
Trash9: I thought that was college
Dog12: i dunno, it wasn’t D1.. it was either small college or HS
Trash9: Think it was 1AA or whatever they call it nowadays
Dog12: nah, d3
Dog12: just checked
Trash9: I knew it was college
Dog12: Trinity college
Trash9: Regardless the Texas play was more outrageous than u guys gettin stopped on the goal line
Dog12: but we didn’t get stopped that’s why its insane
Dog12: we ran out of time. having 1:25 or whatever it was and timeouts
Dog12: it wasn’t just a goal line stuff with 2 seconds left
Trash9: Its just along the same absurdity as droppin that pick, but what happened after the dropped pick is what makes it crazier
Dog12: wow ESPN’s poll 'should Brett Favre return to the jets next season?' 72% no
Trash9: I saw that
Trash9: Ridic
Dog12: man Ralph Nadar's quote was sweet too
Trash9: Don't remember
Dog12: the paper told Nadar they wouldn’t cover his presidential bid cuz he had no chance of winning
Dog12: he responded 'then why are you covering the nationals?'
Trash9: Hahaha
Dog12: what a dickhead
Trash9: Sounds like a great guy to me
Trash9: Yo, remember how I said u and **** should have dated last year?
Dog12: yea?
Trash9: Well her fav player in sports is Kobe
Dog12: atta girl
Trash9: Should have moved down here and wifed her last year
Dog12: haha ur on drugs
Dog12: she ain’t cute
Trash9: She ain’t ugly
Dog12: if she was worth me driving down there to wife
Dog12: shed be worth u wifing her urself
Trash9: Haha, she aint my type
Dog12: mine neither
Dog12: aight I gotta go to practice in a few, I'll smoke ya later honkey
And it's fitting that everything comes full circle with us in agreement.
**Disclaimer: We apologize, but this argument took place over a year ago. It was before we cleaned up our filthy mouths. We've edited it for our younger viewers, though.
January 1, 2009
Dog12: Wow.. the jets are officially the worst most retarded team on the planet
Trash9: Why
Dog12: a) firing Mangini i thought was a knee-jerk reaction, and not a good one
Dog12: he’s taken them from basically terrible all the time to a pretty decent contender
Dog12: but b) you see what these retard players are saying about Favre
Trash9: Oh yea I saw
Trash9: F#!@ Thomas Jones
Dog12: F#!@in moron
Dog12: but u see what one of their other players was saying before this.. right after the game
Trash9: Maybe what?
Dog12: he was like “if he is gunna come to training camp and be part of the team then we want him, but if he doesn’t wanna go through all that with us then he should go somewhere else'
Dog12: some f#!@in 4th year no-name said that
Dog12: if you’re a future hall of famer, and you’re still coming to training camp, then you can say that about Favre
Trash9: Otherewise shut the f#!@ up
Dog12: but if you’re some punk with no legacy, and nothing even resembling a QB behind Favre, you better just be glad you’re not forced to give Favre blowjobs to keep him on your team
Trash9: Hahahaha
Dog12: "If he's dedicated and he wants to come back and do this, and do it the right way ... and be here when we're here in training camp and the minicamps and working out with us ... then I'm fine with it," Rhodes said. "But don't come back if it's going to be half-hearted or he doesn't want to put the time in with us."
Dog12: that’s what Kerry Rhodes said about Favre
Trash9: Clearly Favre has never been halfhearted bout anything
Dog12: another jet spoke anonymously saying that Favre was distant and not a good teammate and shit
Dog12: did u see the clip of him talking to the team before their game against Miami?
Trash9: Naw
Trash9: But apparently the Jets forgot who they were only a year ago
Dog12: it was awesome, he was just like don’t worry about the other things, just go out and play, if it works out it works out, but just play hard.. I love you guys
Trash9: And what these 20 yr old punks want, his old ass to go the club with them?
Trash9: F#!@in selfish punks always tryin to find a scapegoat
Dog12: man people are idiots
Dog12: I’m reading this article right now..
Dog12: The other a vintage Favre interception: A ball thrown off his back foot across the field.
The type of throw for which quarterbacks get benched. But not Favre. He’s a legend. He was just trying to make a play.
Dog12: do they not watch NFL or even look at stats? The reason others get benched and he doesn’t.. is because other idiots do that all the time and do nothing good
Dog12: Favre is a first ballot hall of famer and all time leader in almost every passing category b/c 9 times out of 10 he makes a great play 'trying to make a play'
Dog12: the guy didn’t just fall into MVP awards, career records and Super Bowls by throwing picks all the time and his team bailing him out.. what is wrong with people
Trash9: Right
Trash9: Typical John Clayton-like comment
Trash9: Same people that will defend Romo but hate on Favre
Dog12: right, then later this moron, man I don’t know how we aren’t sports writers...
Trash9: Favre has earned the right
Dog12: says that Homlgren turned Favre into the QB he is today.... or was ten years ago
Dog12: Doesnt that dumb f#!@ know Favre had the second best season of his career just last year
Trash9: Right
Trash9: I hate the mall here, too many good things I wanna buy
Dog12: get Marley and Me
Trash9: Ha now way
Dog12: y not
Trash9: I ain’t tryin to get emo
Dog12: marley and me isnt emo tho
Dog12: its uplifting
Trash9: Yea, so was the holocaust
Dog12: yea, for the Germans
Dog12: Yo, check out this ridiculous profile quote…
Dog12: can hang with me but you gotta have a sense of humor, take a low blow here and there in good fun, and like to party it up, if you wanna join the our squad you gotta hold your own, drink till you drop and be proud that you puked your brains out then drink some more,
Trash9: Whooooooops
Trash9: Man tom’s game is gonna suck
Dog12: y
Trash9: Just for how much id cheer for both teams, it makes me so impartial
Trash9: So I won't really enjoy the game
Dog12: what game
Trash9: Chargers colts
Dog12: I’m colts all the way
Dog12: for two reasons, a) peyton
Dog12: b) if the colts win, they got a good chance to win the Super Bowl
Trash9: As do the chargers
Dog12: if the chargers win, we have no one left to cheer for with a real shot to win it
Trash9: Chargers have as good a shot as anyone
Dog12: ehh i dunno about that
Trash9: Whaat
Trash9: Yea man, they comin in very hot, and record only looks bad, but remember those 2 early season losses that shoulda been wins
Dog12: yea
Dog12: and you know what is weird about this playoff, that gives them more of a chance than usual
Trash9: Hm?
Dog12: there were teams like the Pats and Jets that didnt get in the playoffs that had really, really good records
Dog12: so you’d think like man, the playoffs are loaded this year
Dog12: but there are plenty of wack, bad teams in the playoffs
Trash9: Yea
Trash9: But giants were wack last year and won
Trash9: So anything can happen in the playoffs
Dog12: yea I guess
Dog12: but I mean as I had been saying all year long I thought the giants were really, relly good
Dog12: its near impossible to have a great record in the NFC east, especially last year
Dog12: though the boys went 13-3
Trash9: U did not say all year long that they were really good
Trash9: Just said they didn't suck
Dog12: nah when you would say how wack the giants were cuz u hate them from being in the boys division
Dog12: I was always like they got lots of good players, they were just strugglin to win games
Trash9: Yea cuz they are wack
Trash9: They worse this year
Dog12: like Miami I feel like was actually not as good as New England or the Jets
Dog12: Teneesee is the most over achieving team in league history
Trash9: I agree
Dog12: Chargers are 8-8, the Cardinals have no business in the playoffs
Dog12: Minnesota is trash
Trash9: Feels that way, but their defense is proposterous
Trash9: And great run game
Dog12: Philly is an utter joke getting into the playoffs
Trash9: Philly is better than the giants
Dog12: ur on drugs
Trash9: Behind the cowboys, they were my NFC Super Bowl pick
Dog12: i bet they lose to Sota
Trash9: Ur an idiot
Dog12: i actually wouldn’t be surprised if the wack Falcons made the Super Bowl
Trash9: They suck
Dog12: yea but they basically got a bye playing the Cardinals
Trash9: Cards are better
Dog12: and then they'll play Carolina, in Carolina so they don’t have to travel in the cold
Dog12: dude ur f#!@in retarded if u think the Cards are better than the Falcons
Trash9: They are
Dog12: the cardinals went 8-8 and went 3-5 outside the NFC West
Trash9: So
Dog12: the Cardinals might be the worst team to ever make the playoffs
Trash9: Naw Falcons are
Dog12: the Falcons played in probably the best or second best division this year and went what, 11-5?
Trash9: Don't sice it
Trash9: That division blows balls
Dog12: name two divisions that are definitely better than it
Dog12: and dont say the NFC east
Trash9: NFC east by far
Dog12: you’re an idiot
Trash9: Wow, u sure this ain’t a moron im talkin to
Trash9: Cuz NFC east is clearly better
Dog12: NFC east was soft this year
Dog12: Cowboys were the most underachieving team in NFL history
Dog12: if they woulda been as good as they should have been, then yea
Dog12: but as the NFC east played out, no way
Trash9: ur on drugs
Dog12: the NFC south had a better overall record
Dog12: had two teams win 11 games
Trash9: Whoopdy do
Trash9: Falcons overachieved, they suck
Dog12: did better vs the AFC than the NFC east
Trash9: So we did bettter vs them
Trash9: Dallas beat Tampa with Brad Johnson
Trash9: And Dallas would smack the wack Falcons
Dog12: on Drugs
Trash9: Ur an idiot if u think they are better than Dallas
Dog12: Philly beat ATL by 13, that puts them about 30 points ahead of the bad boys
Trash9: That bears no logic
Dog12: hahaha
Trash9: Falcons also had a cupcake schedule
Trash9: Cowboys schedule was tough as crap
Trash9: Ending the season with the Steelers Giants Ravens and Philly
Dog12: yea but before that Dallas played Skins Niners Seahawks
Trash9: Falcons played West Lib and Cal PA
Dog12: might as well have just chucked 3 wins on the record
Dog12: Cal Pa would loc city the Cowboys
Trash9: Skins were better than anyone the Falcons played
Dog12: you’re an idiot
Trash9: Its true
Dog12: outside their division, the Falcons played 4 playoff teams, the fag-boys played 3
Dog12: and the boys went 0-3 vs playoff teams out of their division
Dog12: Falcons went 2-2 vs playoff teams
Trash9: We still played more playoff teams in total
Dog12: yea and no
Dog12: you guys played 2 playoff teams twice each in your division, only because you guys lost to Philly
Dog12: otherwise Philly wouldn’t be a playoff team
Trash9: U can't say that
Trash9: Philly is a playoff team
Trash9: So that's that
Trash9: And a good playoff team
Trash9: They beat the steelers and us
Dog12: yea I know but what I’m saying is
Dog12: of course you play more playoff teams if two teams in your division made it, bc you didn’t
Dog12: two playoff teams made it in the south too, but the Falcons can’t play themselves
Trash9: Our division is still better
Dog12: no way
Trash9: uhmm, Super Bowl champs and the Eagles
Trash9: And a Cowboys team that still went 9-7
Dog12: Carolina Panthers have the same record as the Giants
Dog12: Falcons have better record than Philly
Trash9: And Fiants beat them
Dog12: and the 3rd and 4th place teams are the same in each
Trash9: And we beat Tampa
Trash9: And Skins beat NO
Trash9: So tiebreaker us
Dog12: haha well a)regardless they are basically even
Trash9: Eagles also beat ATL
Trash9: So we beat that whole division
Dog12: and two all I said was the falcons are way better than the cardinals, and said they played in one of the two toughest divisions
Trash9: How are we not better asshole
Trash9: AFC south failed to win 1 game against us
Trash9: U said name 2 better divisions
Trash9: NFC east is better
Dog12: the NFC east is really the only division you can make a valid argument for, possibly, possibly the AFC east
Dog12: but i say no
Trash9: Not possibly AFC east,for sure
Trash9: U kiddin me
Trash9: And AFC south
Dog12: you’er on drugs
Dog12: the Bills are ten times worse than any team in the NFC south
Dog12: and they don’t have anyone as good as the Panthers
Dog12: AFC south? yea ha
Dog12: with the Jaguars
Dog12: get the eff outta here
Trash9: Ur on f#!@in drugs
Trash9: The Jags sucked this year, but still had to play Titans and Colts 4 times, so that hurt them
Dog12: they still went 3-7 outside the division
Dog12: they blow balls
Dog12: and that’s the whole point..
Trash9: The whole point is ur sicin the NFC south
Dog12: no I’m not
Trash9: And they bout to get locy doked in the Plaaayyyyoffs
Dog12: I said the Falcons had a much better record than the Cards and played in a much tougher division
Dog12: to say the Cardinals are better than the Falcons defies all logic and is insane
Dog12: the Cardinals have the same non-division record as the f#!@in Jaguars
Trash9: I’m just pickin them to win
Dog12: they won 3 games out of the NFC west, get the hell out of here.. that’s the same the Niners won
Trash9: Don't matter, I still think they'll beat the falcons
Dog12: you’re an idiot
Trash9: Ur an idiot for thinkin its insane
Dog12: wait, hahahaha
Dog12: the Niners actually won more non division games than the cardinals
Trash9: Doesn’t make u guys better
Dog12: the Cardinals were one of the ten most ridiculous plays on earth away from missing the playoffs
Trash9: U lost to the cardinals
Dog12: yea on a moron coaching play
Dog12: it was a bigger fluke that they beat us than how Texas lost to Tech
Trash9: Not even close
Trash9: Now ur sicin
Dog12: no, now your sicing
Dog12: Texas dude dropped the interception
Trash9: What, ur on drugs
Dog12: guys drop picks that are in their hands
Dog12: waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more often
Dog12: than teams start first and goal on the one, with timeouts, and run out of time with over a minute left and don’t get in and still have timeouts left
Trash9: Droppin a pick from heaven and then that dude breakin 3 tacklers and tip-toeing for a TD
Trash9: Ur on drugs
Trash9: that happens all the time
Trash9: Texas play is imbedded in sports history as one of the craziest series of events, Niners thing is nothin
Trash9: That's happens every week with them
Dog12: first of all don’t ever sice that
Dog12: by next year or the year after, outside of Texas fans no one will ever even remember what happened
Dog12: and second of all that was a bigger thing this year because of the magnitude of the game
Trash9: Ur on drugs
Dog12: I’m on drugs?
Trash9: the game has already been on ESPN classic
Trash9: Ur still drunk aren't you?
Trash9: That's the only way to explain u thinkin the end of the Niners game was more nuts than Tech vs Texas
Dog12: dude u know how many ESPN classic games there are
Dog12: yea it was a sweet game, but don’t say its forever embedded in sports history
Dog12: the Giants Super Bowl winning drive is something that will forever be remembered
Dog12: Doug Flutie's hail mary, the band is on the field.. those are endings that get forever remembered
Trash9: Ok, when that play is nominated for the top plays of the year, it’s something to be remembered
Dog12: yea, of course it’s something to be remembered.. but can you tell me all the plays nominated for top plays at the Espy’s last year
Dog12: or even what last years top college football play was?
Trash9: That play single handedly decided the outcome of a whole season
Trash9: Including the Heisman
Trash9: Yea
Trash9: That sweet catch was
Dog12: that sweet catch
Dog12: way to explain it
Trash9: Was from Mississippii I believe
Dog12: exactly
Dog12: I remember the play your talking about.. but neither of us know what team
Dog12: who it was against or anything
Dog12: and that’s only a year later
Trash9: And Appalachian State
Trash9: Beatin michigan
Trash9: On the blocked FG
Dog12: 1AA beating a D1 top 5 team, obviously memorable
Trash9: What about that school with the million laterals
Dog12: high school play
Dog12: or D3 college or something
Trash9: wasn't high school
Trash9: I thought that was college
Dog12: i dunno, it wasn’t D1.. it was either small college or HS
Trash9: Think it was 1AA or whatever they call it nowadays
Dog12: nah, d3
Dog12: just checked
Trash9: I knew it was college
Dog12: Trinity college
Trash9: Regardless the Texas play was more outrageous than u guys gettin stopped on the goal line
Dog12: but we didn’t get stopped that’s why its insane
Dog12: we ran out of time. having 1:25 or whatever it was and timeouts
Dog12: it wasn’t just a goal line stuff with 2 seconds left
Trash9: Its just along the same absurdity as droppin that pick, but what happened after the dropped pick is what makes it crazier
Dog12: wow ESPN’s poll 'should Brett Favre return to the jets next season?' 72% no
Trash9: I saw that
Trash9: Ridic
Dog12: man Ralph Nadar's quote was sweet too
Trash9: Don't remember

The More You Know-NBC
Last week we played the roles of Chip N’ Dale in an attempt to Rescue Ranger all you schmucks from the radio killer. Today, we will continue the process of removing your musical training wheels by giving you a solid foundation of what to look for in an artist or song.
So, what distinguishes crappy artists and songs from musical bliss? Dictionary.com defines music as “an art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and color.” This definition does a tremendous job in defining our concept of “good music.” It begins with the sound. The created noise must be aesthetically pleasing to the ear. This is as obvious as not buttf#*king the kids. However, so many artists fail to deliver the number one criterion that defines music.
Now that we have established the grand notion that music must sound good for it to be enjoyable, let us move on. The provided definition goes on to state that music is an expression of ideas and emotions. This is where our musical fortitude separates us from the rest of the zombieeeeees. Lyrics are of utmost importance. If music is an attempt to express one’s ideas and emotions, then we, as an audience, must have some connection to what we are listening to. What is your music telling you? If you can connect to a song referencing simple minded ventures such as getting fu*ked up, blowing coke, and having sex with every single girl in the entire world, then we pity the fool. I mean really Lil Wayne, every single girl? You know what kinds of lagoon creatures are roaming this earth? I recently had the unfortunate opportunity to listen to LMFAO’s single, Shots. This song was the epitome of expressionless music with an empty and vulgar message. Any song that makes an attempt to list the plethora of alcoholic shots offered by your local bar must be avoided, unless, of course, you love Buttery Nipples. So please pay attention to the message your music attempts to deliver. Is this message worth listening to?
Music is a powerful outlet to express oneself. It is also soup for the soul. Be weary of what you are feeding yourself. Crappy music can and will cause indigestion and diarrhea.
Swing by next Tuesday for a more in-depth look at some artists of particular interest.

"It's Awesome, Baby! With a Capital A!" - Dick Vitale
March is upon us!!! Naturally, this means today's article will center around recapping the recent events in college basketball, as well as previewing some March Madness action. Below you'll find a guide to every conference in the country, starting with the teams who will be dancing with the stars after already having claimed their conference titles.
Ivy League - The only conference that stresses academics is also the only conference that stresses regular season conference play. Cornell earned the automatic bid by winning the regular season championship.
Atlantic Sun - We anticipated this would be the most up in the air (no, not THAT Up in the Air) small college tourney. The top 4 teams all tied for 1st at 14-6 in league. Conference tiebreakers eventually awarded the #1 seed to the team with the worst overall record (Lipscomb 17-12). The 4th place team actually had the best overall record (19-10 Campbell). That being said, you knew it was going to be a wild weekend. Only ONE of the top 4 seeds would make the semi's and the finals would see #5 East Tennessee outlast #6 Mercer. This tournament was the epitome of small college basketball: exciting and unexpected.
Big South - Winthrop is King of the Castle in the Big South. All they did was destroy a Radford (they have the nation's #1 Rebounder and #12 Scorer) team in the semi's. They then went on to post a double digit win over Coastal Carolina on CC's home floor.
Missouri Valley - Usually, this is the best mid-major tournament. Unfortunately, Northern Iowa was just too good this year. They blasted through their opponents faster than Andy in the 40 Year Old Virgin and won every game by at least 15 points. The only thing up for debate is how high of a seed they'll earn.
Ohio Valley - No surprise here either. Murray St. became the first team to reach 30 wins and only had one game decided by single digits en route to earning the automatic bid.
Onto the tournaments that will be handing out automatic bids tonight.
West Coast - What happens in Vegas usually causes itching. Unfortunately, there is no cream to cure the itch to get into the NCAA tournament. If the favorites survive in Sin City, we will be treated to the best conference championship game of the year. Two 25-win heavyweights will go toe to toe for bragging rights. The good news is that the loser of this game SHOULD get an at large bid. Unfortunately, a Saint Mary's loss will leave them sweating out a NCAA birth till Selection Sunday,
CAA - Old Dominion managed to survive an overtime scare from Virginia Commonwealth in VCU's backyard. By doing so, they all but guaranteed themselves a spot in the tournament. Since their fate is decided, the sentimental favorite has to be William & Mary. The Tribe are a single win away from removing themselves from a short list of teams that have never made the NCAA Tournament (Army, Citadel, Northwestern & St. Francis (NY).
MAAC - Siena should win against Fairfield. They've been the best team in the conference all year and have the best shot at winning a first-round game in the NCAA's. Plus the Saints already won the Superbowl so why can't they beat Fairfield? Different sport, Different team, Same Who Dat Nation.
Southern - Wofford and Appalachian St. have both breezed through the tournament thus far. This will be the best game that nobody watches.
These three leagues will hand out bids mid-week.
Summit - Oakland and IUPUI (Couldn't the founders of this school have found a better name?) will likely meet in the finals. Based on their head to head games, we're going with the long-school-name Jaguars.
Sunbelt - If Western Kentucky can get by #1 Troy in the semi's, they've got a great chance to repeat their NCAA tournament magic.
Horizon - Is there any pick besides Butler? They've won 50% more league games than 2nd place Wright State.
The following conferences won't hand out their bids until the weekend, but you can get a head-start with our quick previews of each league.
America East - We anticipated #2 Vermont playing the top-seed Stony Brook in the finals and thought Vermont would win. Now that they are playing #4 Boston, we really like Vermont to pick up their 25th win and punch their ticket in the process.
ACC - It's Duke's tournament to lose in a mediocre ACC field this year. Sure, there are a couple teams capable of knocking off Duke and winning the tournament. But truthfully, there is a greater chance that Bruno bangs a female.
Atlantic 10 - We would like to see two things happen in this tournament. First, we'd like to see #5 Rhode Island catch lightning in a bottle and roll off 4 straight wins to win the championship. Second, we'd like the people running the A-10 to take a math class. Maybe they'd change the conference to Atlantic 14 to appropriately represent the 14 schools in the league.
Big East - Syracuse is the best team in the best league, and they typically play well at Madison Square Garden. They'll need to outlast a Gajiliion contenders. All of top 8 teams have at least 20-wins (Villanova, WVU, Pitt, Marquette, Louisville, Georgetown, Notre Dame). There's nothing we can tell you that anyone with a pulse doesn't already know. This tournament is really, really good.
Big 10 - Two weeks ago, Purdue was the pick. But without team-leader Robbie Hummel, Ohio State and Michigan State claim favorites. However, the tournament is in Indianapolis, giving them a fighter's chance. If Evan Turner is who we thought he was, the Buckeyes will win. If he's not, Tom Izzo won't lettemoffthehook and the Spartans will cut down the nets.
Big 12 - Kansas is the obvious pick. But rivals Kansas State, Baylor and Texas all have more than enough talent to win the championship.
Big West - We'll be honest. This is one league we know little about. We like #2 Pacific, but as far as Big West predictions, we're about as useful as a poopy flavored lollipop.
Big Sky - We're renaming this the Ringer conference. If Northern Colorado fails to beat top seed Weber St. they'll earn the distinction of being the team with the most wins (25) that fails to make the NCAA's. Johnny Knoxville accomplished a greater feat by beating Jimmy for the Gold medal.
Conference USA - For the first time in what feels like centuries, C-USA will have an open tournament race. It's in Tulsa, so you can't rule out the #5 Seed "home-team". If UTEP can win the semi-final on the road, they'll earn themselves a pretty nice seed on Saturday.
MAC - Akron and Kent State are dead even, 12-3, 22-8. So naturally, going with the team that has a "home-court" advantage would make sense. But we are both geographically challenged and unaware of which Ohio city is closer to the tournament site (Cleveland). We'll take Akron, but if Kent State wins we just might edit this post to make ourselves look smarter.
NEC - Another league where top-seeds get home games. Robert Morris has a share of the "regular season championship" and sole-possession of "best NEC coach" so they get our pick. Whatever our pick is worth.
MEAC - Morgan State should have little trouble winning this tournament. There are only two other schools with winning records. Apparently no one in this league knows you play to win the games. Hello! Even with their 25 wins, they will probably be a one and done 16 seed unfortunately.
Mountain West - Has to be one of the most underrated conferences. It's out west and gets little media attention. Truth is, the MWC is actually the best league left of Texas this season, and it's not even close. New Mexico and BYU could be 30-win teams playing in the finals. In addition, the league will still have another pair of almost-25-win teams in UNLV and San Diego State. The tourney is in Las Vegas, which shifts the "home-court" advantage considering the non-basketball distractions. BYU's players are the least likely to succumb to those temptations, so we're picking the "Y".
PAC 10 - Has to be the worst year for this league ever. UCLA and Stanford have losing records. Arizona is at .500. Only 3 teams have 20 regular season wins. I'm not Joe Lunardi, but I can't ever remember a BCS conference only getting one bid. Except for Cal, will anyone else from the Pac 10 make the tournament? Playoffs? You kiddin' me?
SEC - We really can't see John Wall & the Cats losing this one. It is in Tennessee, though. This gives the Creamsicle suit wearing Bruce Pearl and his Vols a chance at the championship.
Southland - Two colleges named after Southern Guys will most likely battle for the championship. We heard Sam Houston was a jerk, and would absolutely love it if Stone Cold Stephen F. Austin University gave Sammy the Stunner in the finals.
SWAC - The nickname for this tournament is the "play-in conference". In the nine years of play-in games, the SWAC has been involved 4 times. That will likely be the case this year. The "best" team standing in the way of Jackson State is 16-13 Prairie View A&M. Tough to build a quality RPI. We'll be rooting for the SWAC to pull off the first ever 16 vs. 1 upset.
WAC - Utah State is one of the best small college programs in the country. They won 30 games last year and almost beat Marquette in the tournament. They've also won at least 23 games every year this decade. They'll be challenged by 3 other 20-win teams, but we like the Aggies in this one.
Patriot - We started with an academic conference, so it's fitting we end with the second Ivy league conference. They only have two teams with winning records. That usually means the 1st place team is a lock. But Lehigh hardly has breathing room at the top over Bucknell and Lafayette. Lehigh lost to both of those teams this season on the road, but dismantled both of them at home. Good thing for Lehigh then that the Patriot league rewards home games to its top seeded teams. Welcome to the Big Dance, Lehigh Mountain Hawks.
We're only a week away from the most exciting tournament of the year.
Ivy League - The only conference that stresses academics is also the only conference that stresses regular season conference play. Cornell earned the automatic bid by winning the regular season championship.
Atlantic Sun - We anticipated this would be the most up in the air (no, not THAT Up in the Air) small college tourney. The top 4 teams all tied for 1st at 14-6 in league. Conference tiebreakers eventually awarded the #1 seed to the team with the worst overall record (Lipscomb 17-12). The 4th place team actually had the best overall record (19-10 Campbell). That being said, you knew it was going to be a wild weekend. Only ONE of the top 4 seeds would make the semi's and the finals would see #5 East Tennessee outlast #6 Mercer. This tournament was the epitome of small college basketball: exciting and unexpected.
Big South - Winthrop is King of the Castle in the Big South. All they did was destroy a Radford (they have the nation's #1 Rebounder and #12 Scorer) team in the semi's. They then went on to post a double digit win over Coastal Carolina on CC's home floor.
Missouri Valley - Usually, this is the best mid-major tournament. Unfortunately, Northern Iowa was just too good this year. They blasted through their opponents faster than Andy in the 40 Year Old Virgin and won every game by at least 15 points. The only thing up for debate is how high of a seed they'll earn.
Ohio Valley - No surprise here either. Murray St. became the first team to reach 30 wins and only had one game decided by single digits en route to earning the automatic bid.
Onto the tournaments that will be handing out automatic bids tonight.
West Coast - What happens in Vegas usually causes itching. Unfortunately, there is no cream to cure the itch to get into the NCAA tournament. If the favorites survive in Sin City, we will be treated to the best conference championship game of the year. Two 25-win heavyweights will go toe to toe for bragging rights. The good news is that the loser of this game SHOULD get an at large bid. Unfortunately, a Saint Mary's loss will leave them sweating out a NCAA birth till Selection Sunday,
CAA - Old Dominion managed to survive an overtime scare from Virginia Commonwealth in VCU's backyard. By doing so, they all but guaranteed themselves a spot in the tournament. Since their fate is decided, the sentimental favorite has to be William & Mary. The Tribe are a single win away from removing themselves from a short list of teams that have never made the NCAA Tournament (Army, Citadel, Northwestern & St. Francis (NY).
MAAC - Siena should win against Fairfield. They've been the best team in the conference all year and have the best shot at winning a first-round game in the NCAA's. Plus the Saints already won the Superbowl so why can't they beat Fairfield? Different sport, Different team, Same Who Dat Nation.
Southern - Wofford and Appalachian St. have both breezed through the tournament thus far. This will be the best game that nobody watches.
These three leagues will hand out bids mid-week.
Summit - Oakland and IUPUI (Couldn't the founders of this school have found a better name?) will likely meet in the finals. Based on their head to head games, we're going with the long-school-name Jaguars.
Sunbelt - If Western Kentucky can get by #1 Troy in the semi's, they've got a great chance to repeat their NCAA tournament magic.
Horizon - Is there any pick besides Butler? They've won 50% more league games than 2nd place Wright State.
The following conferences won't hand out their bids until the weekend, but you can get a head-start with our quick previews of each league.
America East - We anticipated #2 Vermont playing the top-seed Stony Brook in the finals and thought Vermont would win. Now that they are playing #4 Boston, we really like Vermont to pick up their 25th win and punch their ticket in the process.
ACC - It's Duke's tournament to lose in a mediocre ACC field this year. Sure, there are a couple teams capable of knocking off Duke and winning the tournament. But truthfully, there is a greater chance that Bruno bangs a female.
Atlantic 10 - We would like to see two things happen in this tournament. First, we'd like to see #5 Rhode Island catch lightning in a bottle and roll off 4 straight wins to win the championship. Second, we'd like the people running the A-10 to take a math class. Maybe they'd change the conference to Atlantic 14 to appropriately represent the 14 schools in the league.
Big East - Syracuse is the best team in the best league, and they typically play well at Madison Square Garden. They'll need to outlast a Gajiliion contenders. All of top 8 teams have at least 20-wins (Villanova, WVU, Pitt, Marquette, Louisville, Georgetown, Notre Dame). There's nothing we can tell you that anyone with a pulse doesn't already know. This tournament is really, really good.
Big 10 - Two weeks ago, Purdue was the pick. But without team-leader Robbie Hummel, Ohio State and Michigan State claim favorites. However, the tournament is in Indianapolis, giving them a fighter's chance. If Evan Turner is who we thought he was, the Buckeyes will win. If he's not, Tom Izzo won't lettemoffthehook and the Spartans will cut down the nets.
Big 12 - Kansas is the obvious pick. But rivals Kansas State, Baylor and Texas all have more than enough talent to win the championship.
Big West - We'll be honest. This is one league we know little about. We like #2 Pacific, but as far as Big West predictions, we're about as useful as a poopy flavored lollipop.
Big Sky - We're renaming this the Ringer conference. If Northern Colorado fails to beat top seed Weber St. they'll earn the distinction of being the team with the most wins (25) that fails to make the NCAA's. Johnny Knoxville accomplished a greater feat by beating Jimmy for the Gold medal.
Conference USA - For the first time in what feels like centuries, C-USA will have an open tournament race. It's in Tulsa, so you can't rule out the #5 Seed "home-team". If UTEP can win the semi-final on the road, they'll earn themselves a pretty nice seed on Saturday.
MAC - Akron and Kent State are dead even, 12-3, 22-8. So naturally, going with the team that has a "home-court" advantage would make sense. But we are both geographically challenged and unaware of which Ohio city is closer to the tournament site (Cleveland). We'll take Akron, but if Kent State wins we just might edit this post to make ourselves look smarter.
NEC - Another league where top-seeds get home games. Robert Morris has a share of the "regular season championship" and sole-possession of "best NEC coach" so they get our pick. Whatever our pick is worth.
MEAC - Morgan State should have little trouble winning this tournament. There are only two other schools with winning records. Apparently no one in this league knows you play to win the games. Hello! Even with their 25 wins, they will probably be a one and done 16 seed unfortunately.
Mountain West - Has to be one of the most underrated conferences. It's out west and gets little media attention. Truth is, the MWC is actually the best league left of Texas this season, and it's not even close. New Mexico and BYU could be 30-win teams playing in the finals. In addition, the league will still have another pair of almost-25-win teams in UNLV and San Diego State. The tourney is in Las Vegas, which shifts the "home-court" advantage considering the non-basketball distractions. BYU's players are the least likely to succumb to those temptations, so we're picking the "Y".
PAC 10 - Has to be the worst year for this league ever. UCLA and Stanford have losing records. Arizona is at .500. Only 3 teams have 20 regular season wins. I'm not Joe Lunardi, but I can't ever remember a BCS conference only getting one bid. Except for Cal, will anyone else from the Pac 10 make the tournament? Playoffs? You kiddin' me?

Southland - Two colleges named after Southern Guys will most likely battle for the championship. We heard Sam Houston was a jerk, and would absolutely love it if Stone Cold Stephen F. Austin University gave Sammy the Stunner in the finals.
SWAC - The nickname for this tournament is the "play-in conference". In the nine years of play-in games, the SWAC has been involved 4 times. That will likely be the case this year. The "best" team standing in the way of Jackson State is 16-13 Prairie View A&M. Tough to build a quality RPI. We'll be rooting for the SWAC to pull off the first ever 16 vs. 1 upset.

That usually means the 1st place team is a lock. But Lehigh hardly has breathing room at the top over Bucknell and Lafayette.

We're only a week away from the most exciting tournament of the year.
