Having-A-Blastketball

How can you not love March Madness?

First off, much love to my Yellow Jackets for battling their way through the ACC tournament, only to have some completely bullshit calls giftwrap Duke the victory. Duke sucks, and we all know it. A picture lifted from Fark a while back basically sums it up:


Duke sucks. 

GT did however blast a good VT team and hold off an incredible UNC team en route to losing to Dook in the conference title game, so I was expecting a seeding of 5-6 for GT when the brackets were announced. Sure enough, Tech ended up a 5 seed in the Albuquerque regional [from now on, I'm calling it the "West" regional] with a potential date against Louisville in the 2nd round. Winner of that game wins the region - mark me down as saying that. Nobody in that region scares me except Gonzaga [they're big!] and Louisville [they're good!]. Wake, Washington, and Texas Tech sure don't scare me.

So without further delay, my 2005 NCAA tournament bracket:


Wishful thinking or blind homer-ism? GT to win it all in 05! 

[For reference's sake, my old brackets from 2000-2004 can be found here]

And since we're just shooting fish in a barrel half of the time when we're doing these brackets, why just stop at the NCAA tournament? Here's one more:


My 2005 NIT Bracket. A lot of guesses, honestly.
