Whoa, huggy-bear is gone.

Oh, my picks for the three games on:
Marquette
Cinci
NC State

Pretty originial, huh?

1:11:33 PM    

Woooooooooo!  What a block by Stokes!  Feels weird routing for huggy-bear and Cinci, but go C-USA!

First .NET commercial of the tournament.  "He can't do just one."

Commercials:
Man the Masters commercials piss me off.  What's funny when you can get the Taco Bell commercials that were making fun of pretinous bastards followed by the masters commercial. 

Cinci was looking pretty good on the boards until some Cinci player tried to save the ball underneith the Gonzaga goal.  Never do that!

1:03:35 PM    

Looking pretty sparse so far at the different arenas.  It's funny, for the Louisville vs Austin Peay game I've been told tickets would be hard to come by, and when I was shopping around for just random venues to watch games, most were sold out.  Perhaps this region is just more popular for basketball (duh), but I'm willing to be those companies that sell bussing/meals/tickets to fans bought up a bunch of tickets and couldn't sell them...

Commercial Updates:
Sick of the Kia commercial where Smith moves to the top.  The key to a good commercial campaign is variety.

Sportsline.com probably has the best updates.  Refreshes are smooth (hidden frame trick), plus good info displayed.  Pretty cool.

Cinci looks like crap.  WHAT THE HELL IS HUGGYBEAR WEARING?

12:49:42 PM    

I've been switched to Cinci/Gonzage with Kareem stuttering through it.  Gonzaga came out shooting the lights out (2 for 2 on threes so far, and a dunk.  8-0).  Which must explain the TERRIBLE lighting at this court.

How come Freedom Hall never hosts theses games?

Deiner Deiner Deiner Deiner Deiner.for THREEEEEEE

Haven't heard much from Dwayne Wade, who won C-USA player of the year because he won the second game of the U of L vs Marquette matchups.  After the first one, Reece Gaines was in charge of the C-USA POY award.  Louisville has beaten every team its played this year (post Marvin of course).  Only loses have come during rematches...

HP/BMW commercial with the remote control cars is pretty damn cool.

12:38:56 PM    

Deiner the Weiner just knocked down a jumper.  He's got shin splints that are hurting him.  There are three Deiners in C-USA, all on different teams.  All related. 

Holy Cross is pretty tentative with the three, but this Meed (Meade?) guy is taking it right too Marquette.

If Holy Cross wins, there will be much talk about the head bands.

12:32:58 PM    

Marquette looks TERRIBLE. 

Commercial Reviews: 
The Porshe SUV will definitely have the added benefit of killing off any pretension ass that would want a giant SUV that goes 0-60 in sub 5 times.
The HP commercial where the guy is dragged by the mouse pointer is cool.

Has ESPN just taken over the game?  ESPN graphics and CBS graphics, and a hodgepdoge of commercials.  If CBS and ABC can get along, there is hope for peace.

12:30:51 PM    

Pretty messed up seeing CBS, ABC and ESPN logos all on the same screen.

Marquette (C-USA) as sthe first points of the year.
