I'm calling it now. Davidson will defeat UCLA. And it also looks like Carolina will cruise to the Championship. Tough to get a read on Memphis.
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Wouldn't Davidson have to play UClA in the national championship game?
im picking ucla to win it all...their defense is just too much
the only reason florida was able to beat them was cus they were so much bigger and stronger...cant see any of the teams left dominating ucla like florida did

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

MAN, you can hear the chant all the way in AZ from the east coast.
Rock-chalk-jayhawk!
I would love to see them win it all, but ol Roy is a beast.
But thats cool, the final four will ignite our recruit-like we need it-for years to come.

I'm assured of a minimum of fourth place and in the money in my Pick 8 pool. The top 5 spots pay out. There are 3 of us tied for 2nd place and it'll come down to total points in the final game. I have 149 as my total and the other 2 guys have 171 and 162. I hope the 2 teams that make it to the final play a low scoring game and it could land me in 2nd place with a $200 difference between 2nd and 4th. Cheers!

I picked the Giants earlier this year, and will pick my alma mater U of M to win the whole thing. These other teams in there are chumps. John Calipari has the Italian mafia on his side, and 3-6 mafia as a hometown band.

They're having March Madness at my alma mater but for completely different reasons. There is currently no head coach. Tony Bennett from Washington State just said no to us. And now players are threating to transfer - not to mention the incoming recruiting class that has completely backtracked now that the head coach who recruited them is gone.
What a mess.
What a mess.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

That one player, Carlos Roberts (?) was really impressive, he really wants to get picked high in the NBA draft. And I'm surprised Deon Thompson starts for UNC, he went to my school 2 years ago and everyone was saying he was just all size.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
It's Chris Douglas Roberts & he's a borderline lottery pick.. Probably later first round pick.
Derrick Rose does not lose and will not lose. He is playing out of system and is about to lead his team to a championship in his freshmen season. Enjoy watching him, because you will not see a PG like this for a while. He is ridiculous.
Rose has lost under 10 games -- in his grade school, high school, and college career. Enough said.
Bet the grandchildren on Memphis. I would not be surprised to see Rose go for 30/10/10 in his college finale.

Yeah, Chicago does produce good ones. He Should go pro. Calipari will get more commitments to fill the gaps left by their exodus.stand said:

If he works on his defense, he has a chance to be the next Jason Kidd. If he gets really, really good at defense, he has a chance to be the next Gary Payton, only a better rebounder.stand said:
I watched him play in AAU tournaments when he was in high school. He was consistently the most athletic player on the floor, and there was top-50 talent around him at all times. He had a lot of the intangibles too, a good leader, a competitive drive, etc.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
