— Dave in Texas Butler against Duke. I didn't catch Duke and West Virginia yesterday, did watch most of the Butler/Michigan State game.
I've heard West Virginia's coach Bob Huggins has a little bit of a reputation for being a growly SOB. Watch him consoling Da'Sean Butler after suffering a bad knee injury in yesterday's game.
Here's the AoS leaderboard through 10 (correct picks through 1,2,3,4 and semis, final winner, points/possible points).
1 Mr. Wednesday Night 22 18 20 24 16 Duke 100 132
2 WunderKraut 25 18 20 16 16 Duke 95 127
3 Nomentum 23 22 16 16 16 Kansas 93 93
4 Tennesseebaby 23 18 16 16 16 No Pick 89 89
4 King Of Farts HQ (INCITEmarsh) 27 18 12 16 16 Syracuse 89 89
6 pacific 24 20 12 16 16 Kansas 88 88
7 Khatmandu Yaks 21 14 20 16 16 Kansas 87 87
7 K-State! 21 14 20 16 16 Kansas St. 87 87
9 Little Miss Spellcheck 24 18 12 16 16 Duke 86 118
10 WashJeff 25 16 12 16 16 Kansas 85 85
I'm guessin Little Miss Spellcheck is now a fan of pure concentrated evil for third place braggin rights. Me, I say "go David, kick Goliath in the balls".
Also I have personally maxed out my own "possible points" option.

Duke by 8. If spread is less, bet the shit out of it.
Course, NC State beat Houston with the same sort of odds, but Houston IS NOT DUKE.
This will be over with 10 minutes left in second half, like WVA game.
Go Duke!

I want Butler, but if they shoot like they did against Michigan St., they don't have a chance. Duke's outside shooters will decide the game.

Basketball? Really. This is why conservatives will keep losing elections. Basketball is a liberal sport. You know who else was a big fan of basketball? Che' Guevara, Stalin and Mao, thats who.
F'cking amateurs.

Yep, if Duke is cold, it could be bad, BUT they got big men. Butler? Nope.
Duke won with S not hitting his first 10 shots. Take Duke.

Don't forget their racist LaCrosse team. It may take more time, but we'll nail them.

Hoosier daddy?
pretty close to one theory, but some say it was originally used as a pejorative like 'redneck' about someone from Indiana and then it just became the nickname for the state.
Posted by: This is Your Life! at April 04, 2010 12:34 PM (Pq5ey)
I won't say but, I do have someone very close to the Duke.
We are talking about the same Duke right?
Posted by: Baron Vladimir Harkonnen at April 04, 2010 12:34 PM (E5V01)
Used as a nickname for a native or resident of Indiana.
[Origin unknown.]
WORD
HISTORY We know where Hoosiers come from: Indiana. But where
does the name Hoosier come from? That is less easy to answer. The
origins of Hoosier are rather obscure, but the most likely
possibility is that the term is an alteration of hoozer, an
English dialect word recorded in Cumberland, a former county of
northwest England, in the late 19th century and used to refer to
anything unusually large. The transition between hoozer and Hoosier
is not clear. The first recorded instance of Hoosier meaning
"Indiana resident" is dated 1826; however, it seems possible that senses
of the word recorded later in the Dictionary of Americanisms,
including "a big, burly, uncouth specimen or individual; a frontiersman,
countryman, rustic," reflect the kind of use this word had before it
settled down in Indiana. As a nickname, Hoosier was but one of a
variety of disparaging terms arising in the early 19th century for the
inhabitants of particular states. For example, Texans were called Beetheads,
Alabamans were Lizards, Nebraskans were Bug-eaters, South
Carolinians were Weasels, and Pennsylvanians were Leatherheads.
People in Missouri might have had it worst of all-they were called Pukes.
Originally, these names were probably taken up by people living in
neighboring states, but belittled residents adopted them in a spirit of
defiant pride, much as American colonists turned the derisive term Yankee
into a moniker for their spirit of rebellion. Today, most of these
frontier nicknames have disappeared from the landscape. A few like Okie
still exist with much of their original animus. Others survive as
nicknames for the sports teams of state universities-the North Carolina Tarheels,
the Ohio Buckeyes, and so on-fighting words only on the playing
field or court.
I sware i didn't look it up.

It'd probably be a good idea to start requiring all posters to proofread their posts, and correct for spelling, grammar, usage and logic. And acceptible manners and etiquette, too. Her skill with a riding crop may not yet be up to par, but why find out?

Texas border towns fear violent spillover from Mexico
EL PASO – Texas law enforcement officials are bracing for a bloody weekend along the border, advising farmers to arm themselves as signs across northern Mexico point to a new escalation of violence after coordinated drug cartel attacks against the military this week.

Yea and ironically they are claiming that they are all about non-violent legal peaceful protest while at the same time ramming someone else's ship. That looks pretty damn violent and illegal to me. Hell, used to be considered an act of war. I'll bet they dont have the balls to do something like that to the Nork's or the Chinese.

He bought Trinity College, fair and square and moved it to Durham, his hometown and ever since it has been a private school which loves capitalism and smoking and he named it DUKE! Very original.
Mr Duke is not pleased right now, but if they win Monday night, his ghost will fire Broadhead (president of Duke, and commie from hell) and the gang of "88"
We can dream, not about the game, about the firings.
Son is on his way to indy in party bus with 10 other MBA students.
