Good games, ironic tournament. Congratulations to Japan on a hard fought victory over Cuba. Most interesting stat of the night as displayed during the game. Total number of Major league players who participated in the tournament: 170 Total number of major league players in the...

Any interesting titles for this game? Uninvited(almost) Communists vs. Failing Capitalists? We make cigars vs. We make cars? You just know Bush is praying for Japan because if Cuba wins Fidel will hold a huge rally during which he will lambast the POTUS for trying to keep them out of...

..and #13 seed Bradley! Can't forget them.

Don't forget lessons learned in the past EB, Listerine does NOT get rid of the raw onion smell! So this tournament is proving to be quite interesting. Even the normally mundane commentators have been remarking about all the twists and turns in so many closely contested games...

Very important distinction "Fantasy" is ambiguous in nature as a word and carries no negative stigma. I would say if anything its probably viewed in a healthy light as it indicates an individuals ability to "dream" and therefore give oneself a therapeutic break from reality, as long as one...

Focus on the game, US's downfall Its a fitting end for the USA to go out early. After the debacle in the Japan game, the seeming fixing of the schedule so we didn't have to play any of the Carribean teams, the fact that our government tried to keep Cuba out, having the tournament on our own...

Go underdogs Obviously I said that facetiously EB, I'm the last person who would ever say that seriously. No one cheered louder for Villanova than me when they beat Georgetown in the National Title game. I usually root for the underdog and I thrive on exposing the biases I see in...

Good observation Spin, This is a good example of what I was talking about. Despite being the Big East Champs, having beaten UConn during that run, Syracuse was eliminated without much fanfare by Texas A&M, a #12 seed who obviously had no ones respect going into that game. Take into...

Good point I mostly agree with that assessment EB, ...but that also means that in order for the #1 seeds to justify their placement in the tourney they should have to make it to the Final Four. Of course we both know that it rarely ever happens that all four #1 seeds make it to the...

The problem with the ranking system and the tournament selection system is that both rely too heavily on what conference teams play in. This gives teams who play in the ACC and Big East an unfair advantage every year because their RPI is automatically going to be better than teams from other...

If you thought that was bad did you hear about Hofstra? Hofstra, although admittedly not known for being a roundball powerhouse had an amazing year at 24-6! They beat rival George Mason TWICE IN ONE WEEK. George Mason, despite losing TWICE IN ONE WEEK to Hofstra, despite finishing with fewer...

Always good to see some roundball fans caught up in the "Madness". Speaking of madness, I think the tournament selection committee is as you put it Spin, "drinking the Kool-aid." Gonzaga is actually a #3 seed! Despite having the best player in the country in Adam Morrison, no disrepect...

I was kind of wondering the same thing... I was just looking over some of these photos since someone told me they had just seen two of these girls within the past week and he had mixed reviews on them. First off, the photos do look really nice, but then again I have been B&S'd before. However...

What about Unionized escorting as an alternative? Money, Money, Money. Thats the capitalist way of course but how about a more "socialistic" approach. Give the girls benefits and representation. The owners of agencies probably wouldn't like it one bit, as a matter of fact theres a good chance...

Another new rule For those who may have missed it, the new qualifying format also has another interesting rule on fuel. Whatever the teams had for a fuel load in the cars during their final qualifying run is what they have to start the race with. So, if they ran on light fuel to help with their...

F1 is back and Michael Schumacher has taken the pole in Bahrain with a blistering 1:31 lap where he fended off new teamate Felipe Massa by only hundredths of a second which left Ferrari 1-2 on the Grid! Jenson Button was less than a half second back in 3rd and last years champ Fernando Alonso...

Figures Two of the most important figures in the game were both Red Sox. Must be a pride, guts, and determination thing.

What makes me horny? Basically, anytime I see a pretty young lady there is a twinge on some level. Specifically though, when she...Wears a revealing or shapely outfit...Walks with a "swing" in her hips...Flashes me a "I'm not as innocent as I look" smile...Bends over right in front of...

We have discussed this before and examples were given in this thread https://merb.cc/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=10672

I have been saying this for a while. I'll bet they don't pass up on many requests for multiple hour appointments. Unless you have some kind of clout, which would involve the agency knowing your identity, then the anonymous hobbyist who likes/needs "day of" one hour appointments is low man on the...
