So where does Ohio stand?

"Consider it a good weekend for teams hailing from Ohio.

Four teams from the state are heading to the regional semifinals, with the 13th-seeded Ohio Bobcats leading the way after getting 21 points from Walter Offutt in a 62-56 upset of South Florida on Sunday night.

Ohio advanced to the regional semifinals for the first time since 1964, earning a matchup against top-seeded North Carolina in the Midwest Regional on Friday."

I am pulling for the bobcats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Archangel]

I'll take your word for it. lol I'm the kinda guy who can get into any sport, really, but I don't wanna focus myself on a bunch of 'em, so I stick with baseball. I understand baseball terms like a putout, outfield assist, a 6-4-3 etc. but I dunno many for basketball like, say, a rebound :p I think I get traveling though lol

 

[johname]

baseball

baseball the only sport i can listen to on the radio

but i have to admit i have been on a multiple year break from it

Ohio Is March Hoops Hotbed: 4 Teams in Final 16

Stirred by a pep talk from the school president, the Ohio Bobcats applauded themselves in the locker room and celebrated their trip to the NCAA tournament's round of 16 by chanting: "We are Ohio!"

Not a bad March motto for the whole state.

The nation's 17th state is the first to send four teams to the NCAA's round of 16 — the Bobcats, Ohio State, the University of Cincinnati and Xavier. The four come from different conferences and play different styles, but have gone a combined 8-0 in the tournament.


Go Bcats!!!

Looks like 3D has a good shot and archangel has TWO teams left that he traded for the SUCK SUCK SUCK SUCKAGE that is DUKE!

Worst Trade ever (except Johname wins 25 NP for being the owner of the most suckage.

BUT

Ohio are still in for the higher than or equal 11 seed that went the furthest... prize!

Well, I have my bracket all done:

 

[johname]

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton was suspended without pay for the 2012 season by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, and former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams was banned indefinitely on Wednesday because of the team's bounty program that targeted opposing players.


WOW lol

 

[DU]

All that over a chocolate bar?

Anyway, that ain't news! Tim Tebow is a Jet is news! Mark Sanchez is one quarterback that Tebowie might be better than!

Look to see him running the Option in Green!

 

[johname]

In high school we got little stickers on our helmets each time we killed the opponent, seems that that was a bounty, just a cheap ass one lol

I hang out too much in the break room... I really read that the first time as a team of "strippers".
