The Goat Pen

Florida’s coach left for Georgia? Wtf?

Is UGa going to go back to the Hugh Durham tradition of paying recruits and their families obscene amounts of money (see Wilkins, Dominique) and start getting the kids in on the football program’s NIL gigs? That’s the only way that shitstain program has a chance of being competitive.

I think Florida let him know ahead of time his days were probably numbered for missing the tournament.

They were more than happy to let him out of his contract.

"btw, Tom Brady un-retires"

At first, I felt sorry or this guy, but then again, if you pay $500K for a football, you probably can absorb the hit...

For the first time in like 25 years, I find I have no desire to print or fill in a bracket in any way.

Every year, there is at least ONE TEAM that gets reamed in the ass by the selection committee for the tourney. This year, it was you guys. I mean come on, Rutgers goes and you don't? LOL!

I could see banishing Texas A&M to a "play-in" game either today or tomorrow, but at least you have a shot. You guys got screwed.

I just joined. Is this a money bracket or a freebie for bragging rights?

They seeded the entire tournament as if the conference tournaments were exhibitions except if you won and got an auto bid. The selections and seedings make more sense if you were picking the at large teams on last monday. If we had eaten Auburn in February we would have got in, but beating Auburn in the tournament was meaningless.

It was meaningless.

A&M deserved a "play-in" game. You should be playing either today, or tomorrow. That would have been fair. There are 9 B1G-T(14)N teams in the tourney which is fucking ridiculous. 3 of them should NOT be there if A&M isn't there. Because at least 3 of them are objectively inferior to A&M.

alright you guys don't even need to submit your brackets. I just submitted the winner, its over

I came up with Villanova. I have no idea who is good or not. I didn't know Arizona or Kentucky were good again. I thought Carolina was 14-13 and in the NIT to hear their fans whine about their coach. I'm like one of those chicks who guesses her way through the field. I figured the Rat would have one last defeat of Kentucky in him, then lose to Villanova.

If Baylor wins again (could happen) the whole college basketball watching world will be like.... ew. (Yawns.) If Baylor beats Auburn or Tennessee (could happen) then the college basketball watching world will be like when can the REAL TEAMS be in the championship again?

I think the selection committee intentionally put both Baylor and Gonzaga in East and West to prevent a boring repeat of last year's snooze festival.

I won my bracket with Baylor motherfucker

As did I. That doesn't mean the college basketball watching world was happy about who played in the game even though we both gained from it.

Incidentally I did not pick Baylor this year.

Not sure why the NCAA picked Greenville SC as a location for men's tournament games. I know a few years back we were a last minute replacement of Charlotte because of the trans bathroom issue, but why schedule it again when the arena here only seats about 10K? We have Duke, Michigan St., Davidson, which is regional. Ticket prices are crazy high because of that.

I think I ended up with Gonzaga and Tennessee, and I actually wanted to pick Tennessee to win it all but I felt like such an SEC homer than I went with Gonzaga
