Anyone want to start a College Basketball pool for jacket board members?  I figured someone would have started one here.  If anyone else is interested we can start one at ESPN.

I can't do it. I cannot root for Duke or UCLA (or another team from North Carolina that wears baby blue...)

I have to root hard for Weber St, VCU, E. Kentucky, Winthrop, etc...

I have done brackets before and it ruined the experience for me.

i know what tracy is talking about but I have learned to keep it seperate.  the joy of watching the under dogs take down a power house far exceeds the results of my bracket, but those games usually don't affect the results much anyway.    (the result being a bh run away victory! ;))

I had them loosing in the first round.  My strategy being, If they lose I'll still have something to be happy about and if they win I'll still be pretty darn happy.  It's a Win/Win situation, I had to go back and change it though because I felt like I was being a bad fan.

You all are going down!  I really hope I can find a way to watch at least the end of the u of l game today at work.  If I miss it AND they lose, I'm going to be severly disappointed.  Although my team is OSU (the only OSU to make the tourney this year)

you can watch live feeds at CBS Sportsline. you have to WAIT for an opening and I didn't get into it last year until the 3rd round and I did not have to wait too long. Today should be crowded b/c all the games at once.

Actually, that isn't florida state.  It's a little known team from Europe.  They're from a small town in southern france called "Floridaburg".  So, you see, I'm right. ;)

checking out everyone's bracket is fun.  Tracy's is crazy with upsets while sean is playin it safe.  Tracy, although I think some of your upsets are crazy, I think you picked a good winner in Texas (as much as I may depise them). Winthrop was a sexy upset pick but they got a bum draw with Notre Dame, because they are a good tournament team.  But what do I know?  I'm in last place.

 Wright State University

Established 1964
Type Public
President David Hopkins
Staff 775 faculty, 1,300 staff
Undergraduates 13,058
Postgraduates 4,016
Location Dayton (Fairborn), Ohio, U.S.A.
Campus Suburban
Gender Ratio 1:1.2 (approx.)
Mascot Rowdy Raider
Website www.wright.edu
Wright State University is a public university in Ohio, U.S. The university uses Dayton, as its postal address, but the campus is actually completely within the city limits of Fairborn. Its current, and sixth, president is David Hopkins.

History
It began in 1900 as the Dayton Branch Campus of both Miami University and The Ohio State University.

Among the potential names rejected were Dayton State University, Southwest Ohio State University, Shawnee University, Four Rivers University (after the four nearby rivers: the Great Miami, the Mad, the Stillwater, and Wolf Creek), and Mad River University.

At that time it comprised only a single building, Allyn Hall, named for Stanley Allyn, then president of National Cash Register and one of the university's founders.

In 1965, an act of the Ohio General Assembly made the university a state university, contingent on enrollment. After several names were considered, the state legislature decided upon Wright State University, to honor native Dayton sons, the Wright Brothers. (Wright State is the only state university in Ohio that is named after a person rather than after a geographical jurisdiction or feature.) On October 1, 1967, the university met the enrollment criteria as defined by the legislature, officially making the University independent.


Campus and community
As of spring 2006 according to statistics published by the university, it had a total enrollment of 17,117 (including 910 at the branch Lake Campus, located in Celina, Ohio, near St. Marys). Wright State offers 155 degree programs, including 46 graduate and professional programs (including schools of medicine and professional psychology). While a vast majority of its students commute to campus on a daily basis from surrounding communities, some choose to live in campus-owned housing, including the dormitory style housing of Hamilton Hall or the apartment style housing of Forest Lane. However, over 60% of Freshman usually live on campus. In many cases, 'commuters' are considered the students who live in apartments less than one mile from campus, because they do not live in campus housing. Wright State also has a close relationship with AMS & Associates whereby AMS owns and maintains, but Wright State provides staffing for a majority of the residence halls. The AMS owned housing includes the dormitory style housing of the Woods and the Honors Community, or the college apartment style housing of College Park and University Park. AMS also owns and Wright State operates the Village, a more traditional style apartment for older adults and those with families.

Wright State is a compact campus, with several academic buildings constructed following Allyn Hall. Key buildings on campus include the Founders' Quadrangle (quad) buildings, comprised of Allyn Hall (home to the College of Education and Human Services), Millett Hall (named for John Millett, former president of Miami University, and home of the College of Liberal Arts), Fawcett Hall (named after Novice Fawcett, president of Ohio State), and Oelman Hall (named after Robert Oelman, first president of the board of trustees, and the home of the College of Science and Mathematics). Allyn and Millett halls have recently undergone extensive rehabilitations.

Other buildings include Rike Hall (named after the founder of the Rike Kumler company, since merged into Federated Department Stores) (Raj Soin College of Business), University Hall (administrative offices and the College of Nursing and Health), the Creative Arts Center, the Mathematical and Microbiological Sciences Building (M&M), the Fritz and Dolores Russ Engineering Center (College of Engineering and Computer Science), and the Student Union (which was created by combining the former gymnasium and University Center). The main university Library is the Paul Laurence Dunbar library.


Turning Points (B.A.R.T)Across from the M&M building is an abstract sculpture titled "Turning Points", designed by David Black. This is whimsically called "BART" for "Big Ass Red Thing" by many students and other members of the WSU community. This sculpture is also referred to as BURT "Big Ugly Red Thing" (The more user friendly Acronym)

The entire campus is handicap accessible. In fact, it enjoys a national reputation for being an extremely welcoming and accommodating campus.

A distinctive feature of Wright State is that one can travel around the main campus both by sidewalks outside, and a tunnel network that connects almost all the buildings at the basement level. In fact, out of WSU's nineteen buildings, only two are inaccessible from the tunnels; namely, Hamilton Hall (a dormitory building) and the Frederick White Health Center.

The Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine may be accessed at http://www.med.wright.edu. The School of Medicine utilizes the main campus for pre-clinical training and many community hospitals for third and fourth year training opportunities. The medical training facilities are in the process of a complete renovation thanks to a very large donation from Oscar Boonshoft.


Major Accomplishments
Wright State captured national headlines in June 1983 when paraplegic Nanette (Nan) Davis Ferrall of St. Mary's, Ohio walked to receive her diploma, a B.S. in Education with the assistance of a computer-controlled electrical stimulation device. Nan had last walked at her high school graduation four years earlier and was injured in a car accident later that day. The device was created from the research of Dr. Jerrold Petrofsky and his staff in the Biomedical Engineering department. The movie, First Steps, dramatized these events and starred Judd Hirsch as Petrofsky and Amy Steel as Davis. Nan Davis appeared in a few scenes of the movie, and actual footage of her commencement walk were used in the movie. [1] [2]


Distinguished Alumni
Jim Baldridge, Long-time television news anchor at WHIO-TV.
Joyce Beatty, Democratic member of the Ohio House of Representatives and John Kerry delegate in 2004 Democratic National Convention, received a Masters degree.
Jennifer Crusie (MA Professional Writing and Women's Literature) is a bestselling romance novelist.
Nanette (Nan) Davis Ferrall (B.S. Education, 1983) was the first paraplegic to walk and was inducted into the Ohio Women's Hall of Fame for her work with paraplegics and quadriplegics. [3]
Robert Pollard, Songwriter and founder of the musical group Guided By Voices. He also pitched the first no-hitter for Wright State baseball.
Nicole Scherzinger is a singer and actor best know as the lead singer for the pop group The Pussycat Dolls, and formerely Eden's Crush, who was an acting major, never graduated.
Anthony Shaffer (B.A. Political Science and Environmental Studies, 1986) is a seasoned intelligence officer and Bronze Star Medal recipient associated with project Able Danger and uncovering the plotting of September 11, 2001 attacks.
Brad Sherwood (BFA Acting) is an actor and comedian who has appeared in TV shows such as Whose Line Is It Anyway?, I Love the '90s: Part Deux, The Tonight Show, and hosted The Dating Game from 1997-98. [4] [/b]




Athletics
Wright State University also has the Ervin J. Nutter Center, a multi-purpose arena located on campus. Opened in 1990, the Nutter Center is consistently considered to be one of the top arenas of its size. The venue is used for concerts and sporting events (including Wright State men's and women's basketball, using the nickname "Raiders"). It also serves as the home arena of the Dayton Bombers of the East Coast Hockey League.

For many years, Wright State's sports teams used a character called Rowdy Raider as their mascot; a red-bearded Viking with a horned helmet. Among the Raiders' most notable athletic achievements are the NCAA Division II men's basketball national championship in 1983, and taking a turn at March Madness in 1993, qualifying for the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament as champion of the Mid-Continent Conference; the Raiders qualified again in 2007 as winner of the Horizon League tournament. The men's and women's swimming and diving teams are also consistently strong. The men have won 6 of the last 13 conference championships.

The Wright State men's basketball team has seen the national spotlight several times since the program moved to Division I in 1987-88 and into the new Nutter Center in 1990. In 1993, the Raiders qualified for the NCAA Tournament, and since then Wright State is 4-0 all-time at home vs Top 25 competition. In 1995, Wright State defeated #25 Xavier, 71-70, their first ever home win over a Top 25 opponent. In the 1999-2000 season, Wright State beat #8 Michigan State at the Nutter Center, 53-49. On February 10th, 2007 Wright State welcomed their Horizon League rival and ninth-ranked Butler Bulldogs to Dayton. In an impressive showing that would lead the Raiders to be named ESPN.com's "Team of the Week", Wright State dominated No. 9 Butler, 77-65. [5] The Bulldogs returned to Dayton for the 2007 Horizon League tournament final, where Wright State again beat No. 17 Butler (by a score of 60-55) to earn a berth in its second-ever NCAA Tournament. [6]

The Wright State student section, known as the "Raider Rowdies," has garnered a reputation for being the toughes

ok, even though I had Duke winning in my bracket, I was not at all (NONE), in any way pulling for Duke to beat VCU. I love this time of the year!

And to make it even better, Eric Maynor is from North Carolina and he finished with the final big shot (and last 6 points), beating the dukies who have zero (ZERO!) players from North Carolina.

Fuck the big time schools who pull players in from the globe; got beat by someone from their own backyard.

the more OSU wins games (like today) that they could have easily lost (Tennessee, Wisconsin, Penn St, Michigan St) the more they look like a team of destiny; or a team down to their 9th life....

I'm looking pretty good in the office pool.  I've got a very good shut if OSU wins.  

What am I saying, I mean when WHEN OSU wins!!!

Crept up to 3rd place in this one, not too bad, but Clarkwork's and GGG's bracket are looking pretty damn good!

We don't do brackets, we put all the teams in a hat and you pay $ 5.00 per pull,

I don't think I've pulled better than a 8 seed,   ever.
It's probably the same odds as doing a confidence bracket.

This tourney as been a bit of a letdown this year. Lots of close games, but very few exciting upsets. My two championship teams are still in there: UNC and UCLA.

I don't think it's been a let down.  There have been some great games and the best teams are winning.  As much fun as it is to watch big upsets I think George Mason kinda screwed that up for everyone this year.  The higher seeds aren't taking their competition lightly no matter who they are.  Not to take anything away from GMU because what they did last year was nothing short of spectacular  :o  .

i'm so over billy packer

with 50 seconds left in the g'town/nc game packer says, "g'town is taking too much time getting the ball over half court" and they got the ball over half court in 4 seconds (31 seconds left on the shot clock). I know that sounds nit picky, but for God's sakes, if you got nothing to say, then no need to say anything.

OSU's got the stuff. Everyone's saying how incredible Florida was last year. THEY WERE ONLY A 3 SEED!!! Even if OSU can't pull it out, I think they are the rightful national champions.

On a side note, I think this year was somewhat of a letdown.

considering if #9 Xavier had made a free throw then OSU would have gone home in the second round? And if they lose to Florida they should still deserve to be #1?

You aren't one of those that was claiming the NCAA football championship games was really played when OSU and Michigan played, are you? USC and Florida had an answer to that silly logic.
