March Madness Opening Day Thread

It all begins today; for college basketball junkies, today is better than Christmas.
First game we have is Florida vs. Brigham Young at 11:20 AM, followed by Old Dominion-Notre Dame at 11:25. Games will be shown on CBS, coverage depends on your area.
For the record, I have BYU and Notre Dame winning. My brackets are completely homertastic, with three Big 12 teams making the Final Four (Kansas, Kansas State, A&M, and Kentucky), and Kansas defeating UK to win it all.
This is your opening day gamethread.

Tiny Gallon May Have Taken Money From "Financial Advisor"
This is probably the only time you'll ever see a link on here from TMZ, because I'm not into celebrity gossip. However, this is the first place I saw this reported, hence the link.
Apparently, Keith "Tiny" Gallon, the star center on Oklahoma's basketball team, received a wire transfer of $3,000 last August from Jeffrey Hausinger, a Merrill Lynch financial adviser who represents several pro athletes. This is an obvious NCAA violation, but it'll be interesting to see how they handle this.

Wednesday Thoughts - The Big Dance Edition
by Beergut on Mar 18, 2010 1:59 AM CDT

- If Kansas is indeed the overall #1 seed in the Tournament, why is Duke slated to play Arkansas-Pine Bluff, the winner of the play-in game with Winthrop? If the play-in game features the #64 and #65 teams playing each other, then the winner of that game, as the de facto lowest seed in the Tournament, should play the overall #1 seed, which is Kansas this year. The fact that Duke will play Arkansas-Pine Bluff just adds more evidence to back up the claims that the Selection Committee favors Duke.
- Let's see, we have the NIT, the College Basketball Invitational, and now the College Insider Tournament. It looks like basketball is trying to match college football by putting as many teams into the postseason as possible, whether they are truly deserving or not. A better solution would be to allow teams who don't make the Big Dance or NIT to keep practicing until the national championship game is over, and even allow the one scrimmage. Get the freshmen and younger players some more experience, and a jump-start on next season.
- While you don't want to read too much into one game, it was entertaining watching Texas Tech, they of the 4-12 record in the Big 12, run Seton Hall, they of the 9-9 Big East record, right off the court in their 87-69 victory. It is a testment to the strength of the Big 12, and it supports an assertion I made earlier this year, which is that they don't know how to play offense in the Big 12. When you have games that are 20-17 at halftime, your team needs to work on putting the ball through the basket.
- My only regret is that I'm not in Las Vegas right now. The first week of the NCAA Tournament is the best week to be in Las Vegas, period. With the sports books packed, fans of different college teams everywhere, and people hanging on every shot and every second of every game, it is just an atmosphere that is unmatched.

Thoughts On What The Pro Day Means
by miketag on Mar 17, 2010 3:46 PM CDT

Last week A&M held their annual NFL Pro Day. A few seniors and a couple former players performed for the NFL scouts. Jordan Pugh, Jamie McCoy, and Michael Shumard all had standout performances. Pugh ran a 4.4 in the 40 and had a vertical of 40.5 inches. McCoy ran a 4.5 and also had a nice vertical. Shumard showed good athleticism with consecutive 5.0s in the 40. I personally believe that McCoy and Shumard will catch on with NFL teams and stay in the league for a few years. What is most important, is what these results tell us though.

As an Aggie, I have a soft spot for other colleges that practice their traditions. I know the "winning team, losing team" chant is nothing new (Ohio University is featured extensively on youtube doing it, as well as Strake Jesuit HS in Houston), but it is still impressive seeing the USU student section getting into it.
What they are saying in the video:
Is that not a scoreboard?
YES THAT IS A SCOREBOARD!
Is that not a 74?
YES THAT IS A 74!
Is that not a 62?
YES THAT IS A 62!
Is that not the winning team?
YES THAT IS THE WINNING TEAM!
Is that not the losing team?
YES THAT IS THE LOSING TEAM!
WINNING TEAM
LOSING TEAM
WINNING TEAM
LOSING TEAM
WINNING TEAM
LOSING TEAM
WINNING TEAM
LOSING TEAM
Hopefully, we won't have to experience this yell on Friday, but it is still an impressive display.
GREAT Article On Ty Warren On ESPN
Ty Warren is forgoing a $250,000 off-season workout bonus with the New England Patriots to come back to A&M and work on his degree in agriculture leadership and development. Basically, he wants his children to be able to look up at him and see someone who has a college degree.
I can't applaud him enough for being a great example to today's youth.
