Big day yesterday. Dogs are barking today. Playing Ok st+2, Utah st +5, bc+2, portland st. +10.5, cleveland st + 7.5, fsu - 2.5.

Moneyline plays on Portland st and Cleveland st.

Love Siena but it is a home game for OSU. A no play for me at +3.

Ok st is going to give Pitt a game. Went toe to toe with TN and showed tremendous guts in winning the game.

2-0 today. I got nothing in this next window of games. Just going to nurse my hangover with a bloody Mary and 5 lbs of crawfish.

Cleveland st made a great night for me. I am strong on villanova tomorrow. LSU is +11. Should go to 13 by gametime. It could be playable at that number.

I'm doing great on my bracket. So far, the only game I've lost is Florida St.

Action is sick today.

We blew through 40lbs of crawfish and 15 lbs of shrimp like it was our job yesterday. After discussing how this isn't the same tourney we grew up with, Friday's late night window blew our minds as Siena rallied in 2 OTs and Wisconsin downed three after three in order to overtake FSU. I didn't really get to enjoy my Cleveland St ML win as Wake was dead in the water with about 7 minutes left in the game and the other two games were fantastic. And one of my crew had Siena.

Today, my strongest play is on Villanova -2.

I am also taking Texas A+M +11.5, UW -1.5, Oklahoma -6, WKY +11 and Texas +7.5.

I am watching the UNC-LSU line for a possible play on LSU but I hate betting playoff games for a cover. My rule is that the dog has to be capable of winning the game outright for a play on them. But I think the final here is 75-65 something like that. So another point or two and I'll be rooting for the Tigers.

I am also playing under 159 in UNC-LSU.

BTW, if I have to hear one more thing about Obama's bracket, I am going to through a brick through my television.

Although, Linda Cohn did mention me on SportsCenter last night as 1 of the 320,000 who picked Cle St in the tournament challenge.

I went 13-3 again on day 2, for 26-6 on the first round. Not as good as you, but I will take it. Unfortunately, I had some of my losers going pretty far, so it's not going to be pretty from here.

Well LSU battled hard and did better than I thought they would. The score is not an indication of what kind of game this was. LSU led by 5 halfway throught the 2nd half, but down the stretch UNC was just too damn good and had too much depth.

Still doing good in my bracket, but Illinois and Wake losing really hurt me as I had both of them going to the sweet 16.

UNC never went on a run in the 1st half. Some of that was due to the Lawson injury. I also think LSU's size at all 5 positions played into it as well. The line did get to 13 and you still didn't cover.

I had a good day. Hit up nova huge and taunted my idiot friend who was on UCLA. Managed to talk myself out of betting Maryland. Then hit a parlay in the night session.

Early game tomorrow: Arizona St +3.

Rest of the card is sketchy.
