Are you implying that there are politics (or politicians) that aren't ugly?

After getting bounced in the first or second round the last four years, it's time for that to change.

Bill Clinton who saw MU up close and personal in MSG has them winning it all.

I hope he's right. 

I wonder how many forms he's filled out, however.   ::)

Way to ruin the thread.


Obama's bracket last year wasn't bad, he does know his stuff.  I take his word more than some of the "experts" on ESPN

That's coming from the Mayor himself, people.

Just heard Craig Robinson share his picks and comment on his brother-in-law's.

Craig said IF Marquette gets past Kentucky...he has them in the Final Four. No Joke!

If MU gets by Kentucky, they are definitely in the Final Four as that would be the elite 8 matchup.

I have MU playing a revenge tourney.  We are going to avenge losses to West Virginia, UW (Wisconsin), Notre Dame and Pittsburgh.

You read it here first.

Did Obama have almost no upsets last year in his bracket?  I think he just went with the higher seed almost everytime last year.

Hey-hey-hey.  No politics. 

After all, injecting politics, even a little bit, into this thread (about a president) might be considered as "acting stupidly".   ::)

Additionally we all know that Obama reads these boards.  We don't want future presidents to avoid attending MU because of the way we've treated the current president in this thread.

I'd like to see Obama shave the sides of his head in solidarity with our guys...he can even shave a 44 into the back.

44--is that his current approval rating?

(not politics...just a joke)

Did he pick the overall #1 seed to win it all again?

Politics aside, his whole basketball playing thing is overblown and people were all impressed when he correctly picked UNC to win last year...except that they were an overwhelming favorite.  Oh well, here is to hoping he is right on at least one of his in state picks.
