[QUOTE=gjams24;238935]I signed up too, [B]I'm usually pretty good at this[/B], after the 08 tournament and I got all 4 Final 4 participants, both teams in the finals and the National champion right along with 7 of the Elite 8 right they won't let me join in theirs anymore, but these are always fun to do.[/QUOTE]
And I won my friends' bracket last year. Does that mean I'll win this year? No. But there can only be one winner and apparently you are going up against some fierce competition. I'd can the **** talking until MM starts.

The best thing about March madness is the trash talking, it makes everything so much better.

[QUOTE=molds13;239008]It's absolutely possible that Davies could end up being one of those kids that "slides by". He could be allowed to continue his education. He could be reinstated next season. Would a regular student be reinstated with no further punishment? No, because they don't have a sport to be taken away. I would imagine that while Davies' punishment is a big blow to him, if he were a regular student he would be facing suspension and/or expulsion from BYU. I highly doubt they will expel him and I wouldn't be surprised to see him back on the court next season.
BYU's decision to suspend Davies the day after hearing about an incident is no different than the countless number of programs that suspend a player after hearing about criminal misconduct. While there are a number of players that "slide by", there are also many more that don't. The honor code at BYU, in my opinion, is nothing more than a stricter version of a contract most players sign when they agree to play for a University that says they will be in good conduct throughout their playing years.
It's not as though Davies was a kid from another state who wasn't prepared for the challenges one would face abstaining from alcohol, tobacco, ***, and caffeine for the first time. He was raised this way. He knows the rules. He made the decision, he has to live with the consequences. And while I don't agree with BYU's honor code, I also have to applaud the fact that they stuck by it when it would be so easy to wait until the season is over. This kid won't be facing jail time. It wasn't anything criminal. It could have been swept under the rug until April.[/QUOTE]
according to andy katz
"But like all his teammates and staff, whether they are members of the Church of Jesus ****** of Latter-day Saints or not, Davies had to sign the honor code. He has been at the school for nearly two full years, so he was well aware of the penalties. He's also from Provo, Utah, the home of BYU.
A BYU staffer said, "We all sign the honor code, and we all know the consequences.'
The school has a history of not bucking a violator. That was the case this past football season, when top running back Harvey Unga (who rushed for 1,087 yards in 2009) withdrew from the team for a violation of the honor code. The football team began the 2010 season 1-4 as a result.
According to the source, Davies admitted to making the mistake but knew that as hard as it is for the program, he had to live up to the consequences of breaking the code."
and also from Pat Forde:
"But as of Wednesday afternoon, Davies had not been kicked out of school or suspended academically."

Weird day for basketball today. Anybody catch the West Virginia game? Don't even talk to me about Uconn. That was brutal. I'm sure Kemba and the boys will be enjoying there 7 ranking in the tourney

Yeah the weird thing is that they most likely will get a 9, 10, 11 seed in the big east tourny, and probably get a 5 or 6 seed in the NCAA.

I am not even a Louisville fan and I remember yelling at the TV "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?????". I would be in such a bad mood if my team lost like that.
UCONN game was intense. I thought UCONN had it once Hansbrough fouled out. Credit to the Irish though.
Anyway, back to the UCLA, Wazzu game.
I hate Peyton Siva and Preston Knowles. So I"m happy. But Notre Dame just doesn't miss? It's insane. Uconn went on a 15-0 run and still couldn't hold them off.
I think its cool Roy Williams started 3 walk on seniors in a game of such magnitude. I know it was only for 2 minutes or so, but I still think its cool. A lot of coaches wouldnt do it.
UK sweeps UT...YES !! Big win for UK today !! UK beat no 13. Florida, beat no. 20 Vanderbilt, and then won at UT.
UK got the #2 seed in the SEC East and got a bye for the first round of the SEC Tournament and also actually got the easier side of SECT bracket.

Well, the UT Lady Vols are beating the UK Lady Cats in the Women's SEC Championship at Halftime, so that should make you feel better.

Yes it definitely does. The women's team is normally better anyway, but we all know men's basketball is more fun to watch.
[QUOTE=gjams24;240144]Definitely hoping Kentucky gets revenge on Chris Warren tonight.[/QUOTE]
Well, it was close but they got their revenge. Big win for UK !!
