1. Ted Crilly doesn't stand a chance

He really pissed off dogmatic conservatives in the vatican when he kicked Bishop Brennan up the ass.

2. I find it interesting no one from the United States is on there...

personally, after having Cardinal Law doing part of the funeral mass for the late pope, I'm suprised he isn't a front runner. I mean, Law has proven quite nicely his ability to overlook lit scandals like FUCKING DERANGED PRIESTS SEXUALLY ABUSING BOYS. But that was just a lil scandal, no need to bother the rest of the world with it

:sarcasm:

3. lol....Duke will avenge their Final Four embarrassment.

4. No Play-in game?

the Diocese Dandy!

5. Ratzinger a six seed?! Their anti-Big Europe bias is showing again!

Of course Tettamanzi is a one. You know how they love the Mediterranean Coast Conference! Meanwhile Schoenborn is the weakest one since, um, Washington.

Then again, Wojtyla was a four seed last time out :-)

Best first-round matchup on the board: The all-South America Conference four-five between archrivals Bergoglio and Hummes. The winner could easily go on to stare down Tettamanzi in the pontifical semifinal.

Once again Rodriguez Maradiaga is sent packing -- and to the stacked Italy bracket, no less! What were they thinking? Fightin' Maradiaga fans have to be seething over this latest snub! As a UConn fan, I would of course rather have seen him over in the Africa-Asia bracket in place of Puke :puke: -- and for me, this tournament promises to be a million times more fun than the recent travesty!
