All Aboard The El Pres 9-3 Freight Train Mortal Locks
Unless you've been living in a cave you probably know that I was 9-3 in the first round. Now while most people would give their dick for that type of performance I'm still not satisfied. Nothing but perfection is good enough for the Stool. So without further ado here are my surefire Saturday Mortal Locks. Anything less than 4-1 will be unacceptable.
Maryland vs. Memphis -10.5
If the tournament has proven anything so far is that’s the ACC is filled with soft, overrated pussy teams like BC who fold like a tent when the going gets tough. So sure Memphis struggled in their opening round game but they’ll bounce back today with an emphatic victory vs. yet another spineless ACC team.
The Pick – Memphis
Michigan vs. Oklahoma – 6.5
Would I bet this game if I didn’t go to Michigan? Probably not. But the facts are I did go to school there so I have no choice. Bottom-line is that it’s tough to blow out Michigan because they play so freaking slow. They just mush the game. As long as they shoot the 3 ball okay they should be in this to the end even though it may not feel like it. It’s time for Michigan to finally re-establish themselves as the best athletic program in the country and a victory today would go a long way in getting there.
The Pick – Michigan
LSU vs North Carolina -11.5
If the tournament has proven anything so far is that’s the ACC is filled with soft, overrated pussy teams like BC who fold like a tent when the going gets tough. North Carolina will win this game but LSU will stay within the number.
The Pick – LSU
Western Kentucky vs. Gonzaga -11
Gonzaga is laying 11? Really? That’s freaking nuts. This is a coin flip game in my opinion. In fact I’m almost nervous because this game seems to fucking easy. Don’t think just throw….Don’t think just throw….
The Pick – Western Kentucky
Texas vs. Duke -7.5
If the tournament has proven anything so far is that’s the ACC is filled with soft, overrated pussy teams like BC who fold like a tent when the going gets tough. And no team exemplifies this mentality more than Duke. They will be in a fight for their lives tonight against Texas and it wouldn’t surprise me if the Longhorns outright them.
The Pick - Texas
Cleveland State Destroys Wake Forest....
Cleveland State absolutely annihilated Wake Forest tonight. I mean this game was a blowout from the opening tip to the final whistle. Who could have saw this one coming? Oh wait a minute...I did. I almost forgot for a minute there that I'm a college basketball genius. 9-3 vs the spread speaks for itself. Where are all the haters now?
Cleveland State Vs. Wake Forest -7.5
Cleveland State has been a team I’ve been keeping my eye on for the past month. And even before the brackets came out I knew I was going to pick them no matter what. Mark my words they are going to be the darling of this tournament. There isn’t a doubt in my mind that they not only win this game but they get to at least the Sweet 16 and maybe even the Great 8. This team has been very good all year. They beat Syracuse at Syracuse. They beat Butler at Butler for the conference championship and they should have beaten them the game before as well. If you like money and betting games where the spread is never in doubt then this is the game for you. It’s what we refer to here around the Stool as a “tshirt game”
The Pick – Cleveland State
the fact that you called it the "great 8" completely nullifies any correct pick you make.
great fucking last couple games but i went 1-3 in the last 4, and i just developed a great hatred for the ACC outside of duke, obviously.
The fact that Cleveland State won the game is overwritten by your clearly retarded claim that you had them on your radar for "a month"...considering a week ago they had no shot to even make the tournament. If Butler hadn't snored it's way through the Horizon final, you would have been picking Cleveland State in the CBI.
Them winning had more to do with how bad Wake was down the stretch than anything you made up in your head about Cleve State last night.
Prez, good call. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF THE ACC?
LOST TO A 13-SEED BY DOUBLE DIGITS
LOST TO A 12-SEED
LOST TO A 10-SEED BY DOUBLE DIGITS (Thanks, Superfans)
LOST TO A 10-SEED
3-4 Record
Big East went 6-1 and its only loss was a tight game with WVU & Dayton.
BIG EAST > BIG TEN > ACC
Gotta give props when they are due. You are impressing me right now Pres, I just hope I'm not mushing you.
Dave2k9,
The kid is 9-3 on games he bet on. You look like a douche.
I'm not saying it wasn't a good call...but let's be real...he certainly wasn't watching the team for a month.
They beat Syracuse, Dave... its not like they came out of nowhere.
I don't understand the new phenomenon of arguing over who's conference is better than who's. It doesn't fucking matter. I'm a Michigan State alum and want them to do well, but why the fuck should I care if Ohio St or Wisconsin win? If North Carolina and Duke are in the Final Four does the ACC still suck or is it good all of a sudden? Teams play, not conferences. WHO THE FUCK CARES if the ACC or Big East is perceived as better? If a team outside of the Big East wins the title, then it doesn't really matter that they are the "best conference" does it?
I think it's more important to focus on the Celtic's monumental victory over the second or... ninth best team in the West.
Clearly everyone here is in dire need of a duckboat queuing... it's been at least fifteen minutes since the last proclomation of a Boston victory. Let's titillate the 'Masses shall we.
Heh. Your championships are starting to fade into distant memory...
Fist,
So you think the Celts are in a bad position to repeat? Drop some fucking basketball knowledge on us that shows we are idiots for thinking the Celt will repeat.
Soog -
Who have they beat THIS year?
oh snap!
Holy mackeral Soog... I didn't think it would take THIS long to respond to a simple question...
Fist:
Let me answer off the top of my head.
Hmm lets see Cleveland twice,New Orleans Twice, They own Orlando, Dallas Twice plus wins against everyone else who are in the playoffs race besides the Fakers. That's not so bad considering we ownd the lakeshow last year in the championship. Just have to get past Lebron and we'll be there.
See the thing about Championships is you just have to get there. Then anything can happen. And it just happened to happen 7 times out of 8 since 2000 here in boston.
and who do you think will be in the championship Fist?
Come on drop some NBA knowledge on us.
Fist,
You are caught up in the March Madness, college polls mindset. Who have the beaten this year? How about most everyone? No matter, this is the defending champs getting healthy for the playoffs. Tell me how the Lakers wins against them will matter in June? Really bro, this isn't fucking college.
How are the Celts primed to blow it this year? Who has the better lineup for the playoffs?
NBA knowledge? My dearest Soog, I was waiting for a stale, illiterate and ‘you are a gay faggot’ ridden response. Thank you for the inspiring and all-encompassing argument. It makes things easier. You are correct on most accounts. But, since 2000 the Lakers have won three championships and the Celtics have won one. Yes, the Clit’s spanked the Lakers last year, no doubt. However, you and I know there’s no need to revisit the eighties to know that LAST YEAR don’t mean shit THIS YEAR.
I will not waste my time criticizing or insulting the Celts as:
1) It is unlikely to change, and
2) Celtic fans probably revel in the comments of shock and repulsion that this site righteously, and regularly receives.
Instead, I will focus on their childish cock-and-bull stories; which, after all, are the things that snooker people of EVERY stripe into believing that the best way to make a point is with foaming-at-the-mouth rhetoric and comments filled primarily with exclamation points and easy homosexual epithets.
I would like to start by discussing Soog’s pleas, mainly because they scare me. The thing I'm the most frightened about is that his juvenile postings can be subtle. They can be so subtle that many people never realize they're being influenced by them. That's why we, the readers of this filth, must proactively notify normal humans that the current Boston sport’s scene maintains that you and I are morally inferior to patronizing polluters. This is complete—or at least, incomplete—baloney. Okay, bologna, if you will.
For instance, Celtic fans fails to mention that I recently heard many of the Stoolies tell a bunch of people that what I call irascible querulous-types are inherently good, sensitive, creative, and inoffensive. I can't adequately describe my first reaction to this notion; I simply don't know how to represent uncontrollable laughter in text (unless I uncomfortably watch Dane Cook prance around onstage). Now that you've heard what I've had to say, I want YOU to think about it. And I want you to JOIN me and make some changes here.
Okay,
So it's clear that you really don't know much about the NBA. Right? Because that's what your filibuster of a response says.
The difference between the champions of last year and this years team is: Rondo is better. Powe has taken Poseys spot and instead of Cassel we have Starbury.
Cleveland? LA? Atlanta? Orlando? Who is going to take this team in 7 games? Why? Just give me the argument that convinces me that maybe the Celts have no shot of repeating?
We beat you on your home court.
And the fact that you uttered the word Starbury without busting a gut 'Aliens' style all over your parent's basement furniture.
Okay Mr. Soog. Let’s call a truce for tonight. I live on the WEST coast so I have no idea whatdephucking time it is back in the freezer box of the Northeast; but I’m in need of rest. I actually use my brain during the day.
Let’s resume this battle at the next appropriate time.
XOXOXO Sweetie.
(Send my love to your fearless leader El Pres)
wow you guys are super gay.
so you're in the hole only 5k now?
Come on. Great 8? That doesn't even exist. You gotta at least sound like you know what your talking about when your trying to give advice. You just sound silly
Prez, I won't bother addressing the Elite 8 issue.
But even Chav would have posted tomorrow's picks tonight if he was on fire....
great 8? thats the kind of stupid shit that female sports broadcasters say. Thats why we hate them, because they don't know sports.
Unless you have an erin andrews bod, please shut up Pres.
Pres, got to give it to you - I have busted your chops here plenty of times in the past but 9-3 is 9-3 and that will get you to the playoffs most anywhere. Good run.
Also have to give it to Soog - a simple question like "tell me why the Celtics can't or won't repeat?" has got Fist all stumped. Anyone can see he has no real arguement aside from the usual blather about how we see everything through green colored glasses. Fist, how about some real analysis? Give just one or two SOLID reasons and maybe you'll come out on top. No one here is sizing the Celts for a ring yet, but for damn sure if you ask the Cavs, Lakers, Magic, Spurs or Jazz they will tell you that team green will be poised to repeat if they get everyone back and healthy in time to start the playoffs. Again, just give one good reason.
Fist of Fury, you are a gay faggot (double negative doesn't make you straight).
If your schtick is going to be big words and diatribes don't fuck up proclamation and don't, for the love of God, hit "Post Comment" on shit like this:
And the fact that you uttered the word Starbury without busting a gut 'Aliens' style all over your parent's basement furniture.

Clean it up asshole.
For all this which conference is better talk and people saying Big Ten > ACC, I do believe the ACC won the "ACC-Big Ten Challenge" for the 10th (yea 10th) consecutive year.
El Prez,
Great 8 is something that was created by billy packer and clark kellog. Its not like it's never been said before. Quit bashing
this fucking wake, clev st game really killed me. i bet two games last night, utah and wake...fuck me twice. note to self, make sure you have seen these teams play before you put money on them. watching utah turn the ball over and wake run around like a 7th grade aau team was painful. it was like jerry first seeing how Milos played tennis and couldn't believe that he was about to take lessons from this guy. live and learn..but today i take the day off.
That's funny ECsfinest, bring up the ACC/Big 10 Challenge right after two lower seeded B10 teams take out two higher seeded ACC teams in a tournament that actually matters.
Depth in the ACC is just like Bigfoot, a fucking myth.
Raise your hand if you were stupid enough to pick Clemson to get out of the first round. Anyone?
i cant believe i just read that novel of a response by fist of fury, but i gave him a chance to make an argument back to my boy soog (who holds it down latenight on the stool) and fist of fury made exactly zero points as to why the celtics won't win the 'ship this year.
plus he said the words "dane cook" and i dont care if youre for or against him but that guy sucks
el pres, where are you when you go 0-1928394?
is there a bigger fraud athletic program than Boston College??
Too bad the Arizona buzzsaw is going to cut them down because I liked Cleveland State as well.
Have only lost 3 in my bracket so far.
pres,
that'll most likely now be a nike hoodie next year and cost 60 bucks... GET EM WHILE THEY'RE CHEAP bandwagoneers!
this was an impressive call/bet. the ACC is pretty sad and embarassing. I hate the ACC.
Wow....

The Great 8? Do you mean the Elite 8? What a dipshit. Concentrate on finding hot girls for this site instead of acting like you know college bball.
PS- to the idiot that thought the Big East's shit doesn't stink... let me clarify. First of all, the WVU/Dayton game wasn't close at all.
Secondly...
Big XII> BIG EAST > BIG TEN > ACC
Eat a dick.
