    You're not going to pretend to get anything done today are you?

    Charles and Kenny faking their way through the tournament is so funny each March.

    No one is looking over my shoulder, so no need for the "boss" button.

    The evening session tickets for game in Des Moines are going for like $15. Was tempted to drive 2 hours and go, but I just don't care about the teams playing. All the Iowa and Iowa State fans bought up the tickets a couple months ago hoping one of those teams would play there and now having a hard time getting rid of the tickets.

    Madness starts now... I’m going for another Duke vs UNC final game and Duke winning it all.

    This Louisville vs Minnesota game is a pretty boring start to the tourney. Both of the teams being middle of the road big conference teams makes me not care about either.

    Duke has been known to have great teams in the past and break down once the reach the final four or in the championship.

    It's been a pretty decent game so far though. Started v...e...r...y slow, but they've really picked up the pace.

    Yeah, I just don't think either of these teams are going past the next game and there isn't really an underdog to root for. At least in the other game I can hope LSU loses to Yale.

    You can always root for the school that fired Rick Pitino against the school which hired his son.

    Sometimes you just need to appreciate good basketball. So far, 28 minutes in, these two teams have combined for a total of 7 turnovers. And Minnesota is just playing smart, unselfish ball.

    Don't know who the color guy on this game is, but he reminds me a lot of Michael Rapaport. I won't be able to listen to him for very long...

    13-seed Vermont Catamounts even at halftime with Florida State. Could be the first big upset of the tourney.
