    Post your first round NCAA upsets here

    I'm in about five pools and so far my biggest predicted upsets are:

    Winthrop over ND (although ND is predicted to go far)
    Holy Cross over S. Illinois (BIG long shot on this one)
    Gonzaga over Indiana (most people are predicting this one)
    GW over Vanderbilt (again, most people are predicting this upset)

    I also have a couple with Texas Tech and Creighton.

    Championship I have a bit of a balance. Kansas, Ohio State, Florida, Georgetown and my long shot champion is Pittsburgh!
    Today I can do what others will not so that tomorrow I will do what others cannot.

    The difference between winners and losers is that winners do things that losers don't want to do.

    Old Dominion over Butler
    Arkansas over USC
    GWU over Vandy

    I picked a few 10's over 7's but i don't really count them as big "upsets" because the two teams are almost equal in comparison. Same with the 9's and 8's.

    That's a brave one. A lot of people have Wash. St. predicted to go to the Final Four. If it happens you will be a superstar in your pool though.

    Whooo...Maryland just made me really nervous for a little while against Dominion. But they managed to pull it out! That little Curry is going to be a superstar considering he's only a freshman.

    Rice looked real good in BC's game too. They're gonna have their hands full against Georgetown (if Gtown advances).

    Michigan State defeats Marquette in first round, and then in second round defeats #1 seed North Carolina.

    Yes, I'm a Spartan fan let me have my dream.
    I do my best to focus on the task at hand, and give 100% in what I'm doing at the time. Nothing else matters except the task at hand.

    No, but I had Duke in the sweet 16. Motherfuckers. First time I've rooted for Duke in my whole life and will never do it again. That bein said, I hope VCU gets ass raped next round, probably against Pitt. That Raynor from VCU is a little punk.

    I didn't have either of them getting past Pitt in any of my pools. Although I didn't have Duke losing either.

    I actually have Pitt winning the whole thing in my "longshot" pool!

    I have fucking Wisconsin going to the final Dammit.

    As usual Notre Dame = over rated = I chose them to be a first round knock out.

    Good thing it's still early in the Wisconsin game. They have plenty of time to regroup. Only down 10 now.
