Who do you think is going to win?

I am a Jayhawks fan........so I am rooting for my Hawks!!!

Jayhawk Prayer

Our Father, who art in Lawrence,

Hallowed be thy Game.

Thy tourney come,

Thy championship will be done, In Atlanta as it is in Allen Field House.

Give us this day our deserved victories.

And forgive us our turnovers,

As we forgive Roy who double-crossed against us.

And lead us not into defeat,

But deliver us from East Coast bias,

For Kansas is the basketball kingdom,

And the tradition,

And the glory,

For ever and ever.

Amen.

I'm a big march madness fan... I like the NFL over college hoops but this is the best sports weekend of the year in my opinion..

and I actually picked kansas to win it all this year in my bracket... I've never really liked kansas or kentucky (call it that east coast bias) but kansas is playing great ball recently, played in an underrated big 12 that has 3 of the 7 teams I think are capable of winning it all... they're also playing great defense, have experienced players and all 5 guys in their starting lineup are capable of putting up double digit points... I know they got upset the first round the past 2 years but AZ was knocked off first round as high seeds left and right in the mid 90s before winning it all with bibby and co.

my final 4's got kansas, florida, georgetown, and texas a&m... gonna be tough for georgetown to come out of their bracket with UNC and Texas but they shouldn't really be challenged until the elite 8... my big upset teams are notre dame and gonzaga going to the elite 8... though I could easily see ND going down to winthrop the first round

On my bracket.......final 4 are:

Kansas

Florida

Georgetown

Texas A&M

picked Kansas and georgetown for the final two.....and kansas to win (of course!!) :)

Looks like we have pretty similar brackets!!

a little too similar.. I also picked georgetown to advance to the final game... identical final 4 actually

I feel it's only fair to let you know that I don't think I've picked the winner in years... I was much better at this when I was a kid (I picked the winner 7 straight years until AZ won)... so you can blame me if your final 4 teams start getting upset B)

This is the 1st bracket I've ever filled out. A friend invited me to a pool on facebook, so I did it :)

But I'll blame you for any losses anyways ;)

VCU did a great job. Maybe Duke got a bit cocky after years of being the big dog.

UNC plays tonight and can't stay awake for that one....Go them Heels!!

duke's just not that good this year... they played above themselves for a stretch early in conference play but the talent just isn't there for the most part... and one of the few players on the team with talent, demarcus nelson, has been an underachiever this year.. not to take anything away from VCU cause Mayner's a gamer but this is the worst duke team I've seen in a long time... they looked lost at times.. paulus was driving, had an open layup, and didn't even look to shoot as he kicked it out all the way across court almost causing a turnover...

as for UNC, I'm pretty sure they should be able to eak out a first round victory...

I used to be a tarheels fan back with donald williams, george lynch, montross, calabria, etc. but now I just tend to root for underdogs and good games..

Three Va teams left. VCU needs to control tempo today. Virginia/Tennessee should not need a shot clock. Va Tech/Southern Ill (low scoring) and this may come down to making free throws. All three teams have excellent guards.

the buckeyes barely escaped with a W.. but that's what the tourney's about.. gotta finish the deal... Xavier got a little tentative down the stretch and missed some key free throws... and gotta give credit to Lewis or whoever hit that big 3 from the top of the key to tie the game at the end of regulation..

texas A&M vs. Memphis should be a good game tomorrow... and I'd like to see the Salukis give Kansas a run for their money though I don't think it's gonna be all that close...

I (along with most college hoops fans) was hoping to see Texas vs UNC but unfortunately Texas got bounced by USC... UNC vs. Georgetown could still be a pretty good game if both teams win this round..

Georgetown and UNC... 5:00 Tipoff

Who do you think will win.

I picked georgetown to come out of that bracket but I think UNC's probably gonna beat them... jeff green's been playing great ball down the stretch for the hoyas and they don't have many flaws in their game on offense or defense but I think UNC's gonna have a little too much for them... and I figure with this prediction, if either team wins, I should be covered...

UNC fell apart in overtime. It was so uncharacteristic of the team. I guess they were worn out and too much pressure. Georgetown play a good game. Too bad that they are out of the final four.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
