Best Game-Winning Touchdown of 2008

Texas Tech's Michael Crabtree makes one of the best career catches and runs to the endzone ever leaving 0:01 left in the game. #8 Texas Tech beats #1 Texas.

March Madness Update

I'm currently #2 with my bracket in this year's pool I'm playing in, but I'm staying optimistic. The current #1 guy has Duke going to the finals. Haha. My final four teams are still in it. Go Texas, UNC, UCLA, and Kansas. I have UNC winning it all and with their 100 point plus games, it is looking good.

I'm not too worried about the UNC vs. Louisville match-up or the Davidson/Wisconsin vs. Kansas match-up, but I am a little worried about the UCLA vs. Xavier match-up and the South section's Elite Eight possibilities. I'm thinking the South will have Texas and....this is tough....Memphis. Memphis and Michigan State are a toss up. Memphis, I feel, is overrated and didn't play like a #1 seed against Mississippi State. Michigan State is playing like true underdog, and beat a very good Pittsburgh team. In the west, Xavier is doing very well and they might have a chance against a relatively unchallenged UCLA team. As nice as it'd be to have a team like Xavier go to the final four, I'm going to pull for UCLA because of my bracket. Sorry Xavier!

Go Tar Heels!

March Madness 2008 - My predictions

It's that time again! Is there anything more exciting in the world of sports than March Madness?

Here my bracket this year. Last year I ranked #2 out of the largest Facebook group (woop woop). It's a shame I didn't put money down last year, because I would've made a quite the sum. Last year, the top-seeded teams played the whole tournament like top-seeded teams. Hopefully this year will be like the last.

The upsets I'm calling in the first round are:

(9) Arkansas over (8) Indiana
(9) Kent State over (8) UNLV
(10) Davidson over (7) Gonzaga
(12) Western Kentucky over (5) Drake
(11) Baylor over (6) Purdue

The second round upsets are:

(5) Notre Dame over (4) Washington State
(7) West Virginia over (2) Duke

My Elite Eight are:

(4) Pitt.
(2) Texas
(1) UCLA
(3) Xavier
(1) UNC
(2) Tennessee
(1) Kansas
(2) Georgetown

The Final Four will be:

Texas, UNC, Kansas and UCLA

The finals will be an exciting match-up between Love and Hansbourgh with the UNC Tar Heels beating the UCLA Bruins in a very close 2nd half.
