March Madness

Wow what a tournament it has been so far. At the beginning of this years tournament a lot of the "experts" were saying it was going to be a tournament with almost no upsets at all. Boy were they wrong! There are two 12 seeds and two 13 seeds advancing to the second round. In fact all four of those upsets appeared at one tourney site in Tampa Bay. This is the first time this has happened in tournament history. papa bear. I was watching the pre-game to the 13 seed San Diego game vs 4 seed UCONN. The "experts were asked if they thought San Diego had a chance at advancing. They all kind of laughed and said no chance. These games are what makes the tournament so exciting. You really never know what is going to happen. No one has any idea who is going to win the championship this year. There has never been a tournament with so much parity. The only thing that is guaranteed is that we are in for an incredible exciting rest of the tournament.

Passwords

Response to:TR


Does anyone else think that the new guidelines for our Ithaca email passwords is insane? Do they really think that people are going to hack into are e-mail accounts? It seems way overboard to me. The new passwords must be at least 8 character's long and contain at least one number, and at least one sign from the keyboard. The best part is you must change your password every 120 days. Are you serious? All this is going to be is the ITS getting overloaded with kids needing to know what there password is because they can't remember it. This means that in the middle of the summer we have to remember to change are passwords again. This is all just a big waste of time.

Florida and Michigan

So after punishing Florida and Michigan by taking away their delegates, people realized that this primary was going to be close. Now there is talk about allowing a re-vote and there votes to count. I think that, it is neccessary to count the votes. But another way needs to be come up with to punish these states. The problem is that it is only the Democratic Party that really messed up not the whole state. There still has to be a way to punish them though. Maybe by forcing the head of the Democratic partys in those states out of there positions. After all it was their decisions that resulted in the voters of the states having no say.

March Madness

Man, I love march madness. I love not knowing what is going to happen next and yes, I do love the gambling side of it to. I love betting and there is just something about march madness that makes it so much more exciting. It is not like most sports were you can pretty much pick what teams are going to go to the final four. Yes, yes I know that the Giants won the super bowl this year and that no one was expecting that. but usually in professional sports everyone pretty much knows who is going to win the championship and that Kind of takes the fun out of it. not so in college basketball. Every-year there are lots and lots of upsets, it is so hard to predict what is going to happen next.
