Ball Rolling

Test Blog! I am testing the contacts (which only allows me 10). I need help, I am really hoping to start something here. I am hoping to create a place to chat about Sports and sports connection to the D and no I won't join face book! We are placed all around the country but our love for sports was and has been a strong bolt in our friendships. I am looking for you guys to possibly do a few things, such as, be a follower, fwd the blog on to others, share comments, vote on the polls, just read it every once in a while and such. I know you are all busy as I am, but I have a passion for sports and find myself doing aimless research! Now I want to put it to use! Argue, tease, agree, poke fun, laugh at it over a beer (zima) in a bar, I don't care I am just looking to make it work.

A couple of you replied in e-mails and someone created a name to make a comment, which is great! Just Keep reading and fwd it on!

This a perfect time to start because the Tourney is soon, prep for the draft, spring training and such. Thanks again!

My field

I know Uconn lost and Msu lost but there is more time to play. So, I created my 64 teams, whom I think will be dancing. I didn't look at Strength of schedule or RPI, I just looked at records, rankings, who you beat. I admit I really don't know much about the Colonial or Metro Atlantic but I looked at the top teams, "studied" who they played and beat within the conference and selected the team I thought would win their tournament. Remember that's all those smaller conference teams have to do, win their tournament. So here is my selections;
