And we're off!

Notre Dame already wins the ugly uni competition, hands down.

I am in three different pools with three different brackets. I figure I am already out of one of them because I have Iowa State going to the Final Four in it. 3 seed down in the first round.

My brackets aren't busted yet, and assuming that UC Irvine win the whole thing, won't be that far off the mark. There's an anteater on my driver for a reason. In a time of plenty of sad news about my Alma mater, I'm happy they finally qualified for it, especially after yet another zero-loss football season!

I like the Badgers this year.  Fun team to watch.  I've pretty much given up the right to mock the Big 10 though.  ...... for now  (but if I did, I'd note you have two good teams and the rest are cannon fodder.....but I won't do that.....I have class)

I don't care. I just like the fact the defender almost ate hardwood :-D .

At least Russel doesn't need to shove the defender down ala Michael Jordan.

I wouldn't mind if the Sixers end up with him.

Please no. I hate when an OSU player ends up on a crap team. I know he will never drop to them, but this guy is made for San Antonio. He's not overly athletic, but he's just a crazy smart player. He even said he tries to tailor his game after Ginobili. He needs to be on a team that doesn't need him to carry the team, but a guy who is highly efficient and likes to pass the ball. He is one of the best passers of the ball I have seen in a long time.

Off topic but the Sixers won't be a crap team for long and Russell is just what they need. They drafted bigs in recent drafts and they need an all-purpose guard so they will draft either Russell or Mudiay. Can't lose with either one.

Noel, Embiid, Dario Saric (currently playing in Europe), one of those guards and a few wise choices in free agency and the Sixers will be a contender in 2017. Since the East is so bad maybe even a playoff team in 2016.

A really good tournament so far. Some real surprises but some chalk taking care of business as well. Duke and Kentucky have not been challenged. Right now I would say that Michigan State could be the surprise Final Four team, but nothing a Tom Izzo team does should be a surprise.

I did two bracketts.  One for my family, It's the 'what I'd like to see happen' - I bid ISU to win it all.  The Big 12 to do well.  Northern Iowa to do well.  Iowa to lose immediately.  My Midwest region is perfect so far.  EVERYTHING else is trashed.  My Final 4 is half gone.

I did a 'real' brackett where I tried to guess better.  All things considered, I'm doing ok in that one.  It's pretty amazing to look at the bracketts of the leaders in the open group on that site - but I'm assuming there are 100's of thousands of entries and some have to just look pretty good

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
