Less than one day after Drive and Dish published our inaugural CBI Bracket, our bracket is shot to Hell.
Houston and Old Dominion beat Drive and Dish projected winners Nevada and Rider, respectively. I didn't know anything about ODU or Rider this year, but -- in our all night meeting of the Drive and Dish editorial board -- Mark Buckets went to the wall for Rider. So I deferred to him, considering the fact that I hadn't seen either Rider or Old Dominion play this year.
Old Dominion beat Rider 66-63. Then, to add insult to injury, Houston further trashed our bracket by squeaking out a one point win over Nevada, 80-79. In fairness, Mark Buckets had picked Houston to beat Nevada, but I overruled him because Nevada has the seven foot JaVale Magee (a potential NBA first round draft pick), and because Houston is coached by Tom Penders. I decided that Drive and Dish would officially predict Nevada to beat Houston.
So now our CBI bracket is shot. But aside from Rider and Nevada, two of our other predicted winners from Tuesday night held on to win. So Drive and Dish's projections for the inaugural CBI finals are still a possibility.
Here's a rundown of Tuesday's CBI results, along with a list of CBI games to be played tonight:
Tuesday, March 18
Virginia 66, Richmond 64
Old Dominion 66, Rider 63
Ohio 80, Brown 74
Houston 80, Nevada 79
Wednesday, March 19
Cincinnati at Bradley - 7 p.m.
Miami (Ohio) at Tulsa - 8 p.m.
Valparaiso at Washington - 9 p.m.
Utah at UTEP - 9 p.m.
(All start times are Eastern Standard Time)
According to the Gazelle Group (organizers of the CBI), two of tonight's first-round games will be nationally televised on Fox College Sports. The games on FCS Atlantic will also available on DirecTV channel 669. All tournament games can be seen live online (check the Gazelle Group's CBI website).

And Butler cheat when they win at Valpo. Dey steal game from Valpo. Referees like Soviet apparatchiks. They steal game from Valpo to make benefit Butler program.
Butler players all ptichkas.
Butler Bob is white trash ptichka.

We be cuttin down them nets!
Butler Bob, here in Georgia, we've got an old saying to describe folks like y'all .... you're an idiot!!
How dare you insult UGA!
That bulldog means more to me (and to Dawgs fans) than life itself.
Just look at this:
ugaredzone.com/ugamerchandise/ugabitingauburnphoto.jpg
I well up with tears every time I see that picture. That dog did whatever he had to do to protect and keep the enemy out of his territory (the Georgia endzone).
He made that Auburn player (Robert Baker) drop that ball in our endzone. Sure the player scored on the play, but after his confrontation with UGA, he never wanted to go anywhere near that endzone again. We wound up winnin' that game because of that dawg. And he lifted up his leg on the offending Auburn player, to boot.
And tell me if y'all've ever seen anything that makes y'all all misty eyed more than this does:
www.uga.edu/gm/902/FeatUga.html
I'd gladly donate a kidney if that dog ever needed a transplant. Hell, I'd give up my liver, my pancreas and both of my lungs for that dawg, if he needed me to.
That's how much that little guy means to us Dawgs fans.
God, I love UGA.
More than I love my wife and kids.
Go Dawgs!!
sonny boy,
we love our doggy too. Ethel be mixin some wild oats for Buster every mornin. In a cage match a Butler Bulldog would maul then Georgia shitzu. Butler be taking out them wacky tobaccy program one by one. Butler be playing defense. Butler play a whole season not just the conference tournament.
Butler be cuttin down them nets.
gggggrrrrrrrrrrroooowwwwwwwwwwll!!!
Those wacky tobaccy programs be scared off!
ggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrooooowwwwwll!!!!
We be rippin down them nets!!!!!
I'll admit, I didn't see the Dawgs play until the semifinals of the SEC tournament. But that's cause I'm a Georgia football fan first and foremost, like all Dawgs fans. I really don't care about basketball much anyway, but when the Dawgs made their run in the tournament, I couldn't help but jump on board this train!
Our basketball team didn't do so well during the season, but our boys was playin' for the name on the front of their jerseys (not the names on the back of their jerseys) in that SEC tournament.
Let me tell y'all, in that tournament, our boys stood up and said: "we don't care if y'all's got better records than us, we're the Georgia Bulldogs and we're goin' win this thing for Uga. Besides, we got some scores to settle from football season, since the BCS screwed the Dawgs over and put Ohio State in the championship game and put the Zooker and Illinois in the Rose Bowl (the Dawgs would have won the national championship if they'd been alowed to play in the championship game).
I'm tellin' you boys, I love that little bulldog. That Butler Bob got brain damage from spendin' all them years up North. Y'all yankees got somethin' wrong with your heads. That little pooch from Butler ain't no real bulldog, but Uga......now that's what I call a BULLDAWG!!!!
GO DAWGS!!!!!!!
We should've been playin' LSU for that BCS national championship instead of Ohio State.
UGA should've been guardin' that endzone in that championship game.
It's just a travesty that a low rent, carpet-bagging dunce like Les Miles got a national championship for himself. I hate LSU.
If we'd been in that championship game instead of that slow, soft, dead weight Big Ten team (Ohio State), Uga would never have let LSU get into that endzone. He would've been jumpin' up and bitin' them LSU cheaters, helpin'coach Richt and the Dawgs put another beatdown on Les Miles and LSU, and bring that championship back where it belongs .... right here in Georgia!
SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC!
GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
