Anybody watching March Madness?

FlavaStyle · 03-12-2008, 06:34 PM

I am a huge fan of March Madness and look forward to it every year! Any predictions on the final 4? I'm rooting for UCLA all the way baby!

Also, I want to get rid of my little 32" TV and get something that will actually be fun to watch.

I want at least a 40" HDTV, 1080p, and in the realm of like $1,000-$1,500 bucks. So obviously I can't get a super high end brand like Sony.

I was thinking maybe Vizio... they have a 42" LCD that is only like $1k. They seem to be decent quality but I don't know much about them.

What do you think? Other suggestions? I'm trying to stay (somewhat) low budget here.

Thanks!

Thanks for starting this thread as we need one for college ball as it gets kicked into high gear.

I'm a Michigan State fan, but we ran out of gas the last month or so....

I do like UCLA, tho i haven't decided who to root for after State.

As far as a t.v....just make sure it's HD and flat panel!

Yea, but I'm such a nerd when it comes to making large purchases. I do a whole bunch of research, look at ratings, ask people in forums and so on because I like to really know the product I'm getting, you know? Especially if it's going to be expensive and I plan on having it for awhile!

But yea, I had North Carolina, Memphis, UCLA and Georgetown in the Final 4, and NC taking it all. GTown is already out...so hopefully NC can hold on to it. Who are you predicting?

I'm a huge Michigan State fan, so I'm rooting for them. They have a tough road to the final four, most likely too tough, with Memphis first up on Friday, then, if they win, they have to take on Texas....

Outside of State, I like two of the same teams you do: North Carolina and UCLA.

Either Kansas or Wisconsin should come out of the Midwest.

I pick North Carolina out of the east.

Michigan State out of the south...no matter how silly that sounds!

UCLA out of the west.

UCLA has what looks like the easiest schedule of all the teams and either State or North Carolina has the toughest.

So UCLA should be rested for the final four...if all goes as i predict.

My heart wants Michigan State to take it all, but my head goes with UCLA.
