March Madness 2006

**Night Train** · 03-16-2006, 08:56 AM

I went with UCLA and U Conn
Anyone else care to share their picks?

**chm2023** · 03-16-2006, 10:38 AM

UConn and Gonzaga. (Texas and OSU make the Final 4)

**OptiJim** · 03-16-2006, 12:07 PM

I have to go with Gonzaga since I can look out the window and see the school. Oh, they play well also. ;)

**Spexvet** · 03-16-2006, 12:14 PM

Nobody likes Villanova?

**Vicki** · 03-16-2006, 12:41 PM

I pick Duke overall. It would be cool to see Duke and North Carolina in the final's.

**Framebender** · 03-16-2006, 02:06 PM

I like Duke and Boston College.

The whole left side of my sheet of integrity is now wiped out!

I kept nodding off during the Texas-West Virginia game (blasted commercials) but did see the last 5 minutes...what an ending!

Gonzaga was up by 9 and had been in the lead all night so I went to bed....Could not believe this mornings paper.

Go Gators, and even better my pick to go all the way...Go UConn!

Go Mason!!!

**chm2023** · 03-25-2006, 01:00 PM

Well only 2 of my final four are still hanging on, Texas and UConn. Have to like UConn and UCLA at this stage, though Texas is looking mightly good!!

As my sister would say Chomp Chomp.....Question though has there ever been a championship where it's been a split division example two SEC teams(wishful thinking)

Go Mighty Gators

Well I'm all for GMU now, gotta love the underdog!! What a game, I was sure UConn would come back as they have so often!! Who was George Mason exactly? My husband says he's the guy who invented the Mason jar but somehow I think he's pulling my leg......

He wrote the Virginia Bill of Rights, and participated in the Constitutional Convention; though because of the Constitution's lack of a Bill of Rights, he opposed its ratification.

Some of his phrases were borrowed for the federal Bill of Rights by the first Congress.

So arguably he contributed as much to society as the jar guy....;)
Thanks for the info!

After the past weekends events, sports talks shows all over the country were asking the same thing...just who was George Mason and why Patriots???

Monday morning about 7:15 am est...Dick Vitale and Mike Golic enlightened the nation on who and what George Mason did. Now a whole nation of morning drive listeners are enlightened.

Pretty cool how things work out...old Patriot George, Father of the Bill of Rights ...now is in his 15 minutes of contemporary fame...

I am off to the big apple for VEE!

Go Gators!
