Hate to interrupt your mid-day-break episode of Judge Joe Brown, but we're halfway through opening Friday...and I'm already out. Props to The Last Don, whose love for San Diego knows no bounds. He moves into a first place tie.
The rest is here.
The early afternoon action leaves us with no perfect brackets. Both St. Mary's and Drake fell, neither of which are exactly marquis upsets...that is of course unless you are a mid-major slappy when picking your final four. At least Davidson hung on for him, eh?
The leader in the clubhouse as of 3:30pm on Friday has 19 of 20. Well done...so far.Leaderboards and such are right here.
***UPDATE: DEADLINE HAS PASSED***

In case you are wondering if you've got the skills...last year, an unborn baby won. Good luck with your picks!!
It's here...March that is. Despite the fall of basketball around these parts, there is still something to be excited about. Bracketology. Two weeks from tonight, the Big Ten tournament will conclude and Selection Sunday will begin. Michigan, outside of what would be the most improbable scenario in basketball history, will be sitting at home in the post season. No NCAA, no NIT. But they can't stop us from filling out our brackets. No sir.
The 2008 UMTailgate.com tournament challenge will be the 8th annual, which is both amazing and disturbing. Even more amazing and disturbing is that I recently received an email from a 7-month old child. It reads...
I whooped all your asses from the womb last year.... Who wants more?
For those that don't remember, the unborn grandson of The Godfather won last year's challenge, and now he is apparently talking shit. Challenge invites coming soon....watch your mailboxes.
I can't believe they gave Ohio State a rematch! Didn't these two teams just play 100 days ago?!?!? Who would want to see a rematch?!?!? The Buckeyes had their chance. Why do they get to play each other again?!?!? Hmmm. I guess that argument only works for football.
Q: How many national titles in basketball and football did the Michigan Wolverines win this year?
A: The same number as Ohio State...ZERO.
For the Thad Five, a reality version of the Western Dolphins, it was an amazing (but most certainly illegal) run at a National Championship that ended at the hands of the latest sports dynasty, the Florida Gators, a team from a school that is in the middle of some kind of Tiger Woods-like run at a college sports Grand Slam. And as much as I hate the Gator's monopoly, I hate The Program more, and I am therefore willing to concede and congratulate Florida and more importantly thank them for thwarting the Buckeye efforts on the court, and on the field.
Cue that fruity chop you bastards, it doesn't change the fact you once lost to John Navarre.
Immediately following the game, Greg Oden announced that he will be moving to a retirement community in Arizona. He chose Arizona to be close to his grandchildren.
In UMTailgate.com Tournament challenge news...
For the first time in history, an unborn baby beat the field. The Demski Offspring, previously mentioned here, out-picked all of the air-breathers to take first place. Second place came down to a tiebreaker between Todd Muck of Toyota and David DeMaggio (no relation). Muck took the tiebreak coming just 4-points away from picking the exact total score.
Congrats to our winners! Check out the final standings here.
