SJ.com CBI tournament pool*

[Big Buckin' agate_monkey]

Here's the bracket:

Washington vs. Valparaiso
Nevada vs. Houston

Virginia vs. Richmond
Old Dominion vs. Ride

UTEP vs. Utah
Tulsa vs. Miami (Ohio)

Bradley vs. Cincinnati
Ohio vs. Brown

It's in bracket order. Pick your quarterfinalists and semifinalists. Since they'll re-seed for the semis, pick your champion from your four semifinalists.

*Please note: This is a joke. I am not going to keep track of this ****ty tournament anymore than my job requires. This is really just an avenue for Chickie and I to trash talk the potential Elite Eight game between Bradley and Ohio.

It actually would be tough to do a CBI pool since it re-seeds the semifinalists.

It actually would be tough to talk trash between Ohio and Bradley because neither one has been relevant since players wore satin shorts, Chuck Taylor's and thick, black-rim glasses.

Easy now ... Bradley is still hanging its hat on the Sweet 16 run ... what was that, three years ago now?

I can't wait for someone to put 2008 SportsJournalists.com CBI pool champion as their tag line.

Hersey Hawkins disagrees.

Dude could flat out shoot the ****ing ball.

And we claim Anthony Parker ... of Toronto Raptors success anyways.

Gary Trent has no idea why he just broke a pool cue over somebody's head.

And BBAM, your crappy team is going down! Bobcats forever!

Down go the Bearcats tomorrow night; down go the Bobcats Easter Monday in my gym.
Brad E. Lee has cat-like quickness with a deadline strike! Never mind he's been gone for 20 years.

 

[sportschick]

Your worthless Bradley squad will quake with fear when they see the skanky cat enter the arena!

Oh, sweet Jesus. I imagine David Ortiz feels this way when he sees a hanging breaking ball.

 

[sportschick]

Oh, BBAM . . . your boys die in the second round. . . muahahahahahaha

We stabbed a Bearcat in the eye last night. Do you really think we're concerned about some lowly Bobcat?

 

[Big Buckin' agate_monkey]

Little known fact, Chickie: Bradley used to have a Bobcat mascot in the last decade. We got rid of it because it seemed kinda ... lame. We'd rather have no mascot than be a bobcat.

We killed one. We'll kill another.

Houston will win the inaugural (and probably only) CBI tournament, an achievement surpassed only by UH's football team winning the inaugural (and probably only) Garden State Bowl back in the 80s.

You will fear the skanky cat. Just wait

Chickie,

Consider this an open invite to attend said contest with me. I have season tickets and have an extra waiting for you. Then we can go over to World Famous Big Al's.

Actually, there were four Garden State Bowls from 1978-81.

So you're saying the CBI has a chance?
