1. I am disappointed Scalia didn't make it into the playoffs.

[BrklynLiberal]

2. Isn't there a French contender...Lustiger or something like that?

:bounce: :bounce:

[JVS]

3. Is duke supposed to be you?

[Dookus]

11. It is merely

a lucky coincidence. but It's nice that I made the final 16.

[5thGenDemocrat]

4. Okay. I'm Catholic and I say that's pretty funny

"Sweet Sistine." Ha.
John
Oh yeah -- and Duke sucks.

[trof]

5. I'm pulling for the Honduras contender.

Oscar Andres Rodriguez Maradiaga.
He's a lightweight, but he's got the speed, and the butterfly footwork.
And he's tall for his size.
Don't let that gut fool you, it's solid muscle.
It also doesn't hurt that he's got a head like a rock.
If you're gonna take this guy down you gotta go for his thighs.
The clincher, in my book, is that he's Mohammed Ali's pick.
Need I say more?

Plus, he has the longest name, always an edge.

7. I'm rooting for Danneels

cuz every time I see his name I'll think of W.C. Fields exclaiming

"Godfrey Daniels!"

[trof]

8. Daneels was actually my favorite name.

And I'm a huge fan of Bill.

[JohnKleeb]

10. ha well its interesting

because he actually does support condom usage and distanced himself from the head of the belgian church who made some ugly remarks about gays. He's without a doubt the most liberal candidate who has a shot.

6. I would if the darn Funeral didn't have a chance to put a dent in my

PAYCHECK!!!!!

[two gun sid]

9. Can I put $5 on Duke?

I'd love to see a Blue Demon Pope.

[RevCheesehead]

13. excuse me, but that's "Blue Devil."

And I couldn't agree more! :evilgrin:

[two gun sid]

15. I fucked up. I was thinkin' of the Demon Deacons and Blue Devils.

My apologies to any Dukies I pissed off.

[RevCheesehead]

17. not po'ed at all!

Just glad to see the "perpetually-ranked" Blue Devils in the running!

Proud grad of Duke Divinity School here - we laugh about the "Blue Devils" all the time. :)

[yellowdogintexas]

12. geez, I was only finding it mildly amusing until I saw DUKE & Father Ted

in the brackets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RevCheesehead]

14. where's Father Guido? n/t

[Reverend_Smitty]

16. wait a sec!!!

Duke is a 4 seed!?! C'mon did Francis Arinze shoot 94% from the foul line this year? JJ Redick did!

[FuzzySlippers]

18. I'm rooting for Dionigi Tettamanzi

aka The Beast of Milan.
