It's the most wonderful time of the year!
It's that time of year again, yes...it's time to start up the office pools and for gamblers everywhere to rejoice. It's time for the NCAA Tournament aka March Madness! This is my favorite time of the year because not only do we have the most exciting event in all of sports (the tournament), but also the beginning of baseball season, the home stretch and final push of the NBA and NHL seasons, and I get to blow hundreds of dollars on pools and match ups to wager on. What could be better!? Anyway, I'll keep this short and give you my picks and also some very sexy lines for my fellow gamblers to take. But first here are some videos to get you back into that March Madness spirit:
And of course the greatest sports commentator ever....
And now here are my picks......
Click here to see my entire bracket pick by pick on ESPN
This is what I have for first round upsets:
(13) Miss St. over (4) Washington
(11) Utah State over (6) Marquette
(10) Maryland over (7) California
(10) Minnesota over (7) Texas
(12) Western Kentucky over (5) Illinois
(11) Temple over (6) Arizona State
(10) Michigan over (7) Clemson
I'm a little mad because I know theres going to be a random 13 or 14 seed that pulls an upset this year, I just don't know which one.
Now for my Final Four picks: Louisville, Memphis, Pittsburgh, Syracuse
Louisville over Pittsburgh in the championship. It's the year of the Big East, I wouldn't be surprised at all if UConn made it 4 Big East teams make it to the Final Four.
..........Now I'm going to give you some money lines for tomorrow's games that I would recommend wagering on.
Conor's Recommended Lines:
(3) Kansas -10 over (14) North Dakota State....this is a team that just became a D1 school a year ago and Kansas is only giving 10? Really? I will gladly take the defending champs to win by 10.
(3) Syracuse -12 over (14) S F Austin...I've never even heard of this school. Syracuse has been hot and I see this one getting way out of hand early.
(4) Xavier -10.5 over (13) Portland State....Xavier is very underrated once again this year. I see them winning this by double figures with ease.
And my favorite....
(4) Wake Forrest -8 over (13) Cleveland State... Wake Forrest is a legitimate Final Four contender and not to knock Cleveland State because I wanted to pick them against any other team but even if this game ends up close, I still see Wake covering with some late free throws. It won't be close though. Take Wake by 8 points! Please, I'm begging you.
And one more thing to look into is the odds for regional winners. I'm really liking Villanova in the East region at +500. Very appealing. Enjoy the first day of March Madness and good luck on your brackets!
Rick's Picks

Its tourney time again and here are some of my picks for 1st round upsets. Watching tonight's Celtics game and seeing that Mike Gorman had alot of the same upsets picked I feel better about them. Here they are, the 1st round upsets.
Arizona over Utah
USC over BC
Maryland over California
VCU over UCLA
Western Kentucky over Illinois
Michigan over Clemson
i also think Sienna, Texas A&M, and Tennessee will win but since they are just 8-9 games i dont really consider them an upset.
also here are my final 4
Louisville, Uconn, Duke and Syracuse with Duke and Louisville playing for the championship and Duke winning.
some notable teams i have going far are Marquette and FSU in the elite 8 and Maryland making it to the sweet 16.

What happens when you Google Image search Hot Golfer? You get Natalie Gulbis as a related search. It was only today that I was told by a good friend that golf has the hottest participants of all women sports. I still believe that tennis players are hotter, but either way this and many other golfers are hot. So Natalie, I dont know if your good at golf, but I dont care, you are today's Hot Bitch
