StreakMaster

  (12:00 PM)

Ahhh Selection Sunday, what a day! This is the best week of the year!

StreakMaster

  (12:00 PM)

It's good to be back, let's get going.

Steiny (NYC)

Chat with the StreakMaster

Nashville, TN

What about some Lacrosse picks??? ESPN had the Duke/UNC rivalry this weekend on ESPNU.

StreakMaster

  (12:01 PM)

I do want to get some Lax on here but it is difficult with no spreads. We are working on it.

Matt (Los Angeles, CA)

update us on Streak for the Cash 3.0 please...

StreakMaster

  (12:01 PM)

About a 75% chance it comes back but if nobody wins the million we may change the rules/basics of the game a little bit.

Justin (WV)

So how far do you see my Mountaineers going?

StreakMaster

  (12:02 PM)

Possibly Sweet 16, sleeper pick for sure.

Matt (Los Angeles, CA)

Cleveland St-Arizona? Upset City baby!

StreakMaster

  (12:02 PM)

Arizona got lucky, real lucky.

Rebecca (St Louis)

Hi Streak Master. I just had my lunch....rice cakes and tofu. Mmmmmm. And I would like to say how disappointed I am in you. Dunkin doughnuts, 10 pizzas, Chicken nuggets, waffle fries....and not to mention how much beer you probably consumed last week??? And you call yourself a health nut! You might have to bump me down from your #2 fan to about your #4 or #5 fan. On another note, how was the crue concert?

StreakMaster

  (12:03 PM)

What the heck? How do you know what I eat? Crue concert was unreal, so much fun! They still got some left in the tank that's for sure.

Matt (Los Angeles, CA)

Which side are you on about St. Mary's: Vital or Bilas?

StreakMaster

  (12:04 PM)

I just had to pause that clip for the chat. I'd actually take Vitale's side.

Brian (Morristown, NJ)

Based on what we've seen for the first 2 and 1/2 months of this segment, do you think anyone will even get close to the million and if not, what sort of tweaks do you envision for a future segment?

StreakMaster

  (12:04 PM)

I am shocked nobody has come that close to be honest. Not sure what we will come up with for the next segment.

Rebecca (St Louis)

Uhhh...you post it on your web site. Beer still affecting you...huh?

StreakMaster

  (12:05 PM)

Whoooops!

Greg (Boston)

Sorry, Bilas lost all credibility as an analyst when he said winning at Oregon and Oregon St should be used as quality road wins: combined record 21-39

StreakMaster

  (12:05 PM)

Haven't seen that, he really said that?

Greg (Boston)

Can we get the reverse streak? I seem to be an expert at picking losers?

StreakMaster

  (12:05 PM)

Like the streak the Bruins have been on?

Will J (Portland, OR)

How many of the bracket games do you anticipating putting on? All the 8 v 9 games I sure hope, and possibly all the 7 v 10 too.

StreakMaster

  (12:06 PM)

As much as we can Will. Expect full boards.

Greg (Boston)

He said it 3 times on TV yesterday, don't know if they were just re running a loop but I really need to get out more

StreakMaster

  (12:06 PM)

You said it, not me.

Ryan (Ohio)

Hey streakmaster I can't get past 5 wins everytime I get there I lose on a crazy upset somehow. What should i do?

StreakMaster

  (12:07 PM)

Keep truckin'. Stay away from the public is always my advice.

Bob (NY)

Thoughts on the draw Siena ended up with?

StreakMaster

  (12:07 PM)

Fantastic. Although if they were a 10 or 11 seed I think they would have a better chance for the Sweet 16.

Hubert

lots of nit this week?

StreakMaster

  (12:08 PM)

You got it, especially with it on ESPN.

Frank d

its official, you hate nba basketball. i no its march madness blah blah blah. put basketball is never ever ever up on streak

StreakMaster

  (12:08 PM)

Ouch, way to call me out.

Matt (Los Angeles, CA)

Blair-Thabeet Part 3 is what I have. Tell us your final four!

StreakMaster

  (12:08 PM)

I won't have one until Wednesday. I put way to much thought in my bracket. No way UConn gets there.

Chess Player (Winston Salem, NC)

It is great to see a tennis pick back on the Streak board! Can we expect to see some more tennis action on the Streak board if the Streak for the Ca$h game continues on into the French Open and Wimbledon?

StreakMaster

  (12:09 PM)

Absolutely.

Justin (WV)

thestreakmaster.com picks better be in typical Monday-Fun Day form. You've been slacking!

StreakMaster

  (12:09 PM)

I will, I just needed a break. I am unstoppable on Monday's.

America

It's ok Streakmaster, we hate the NBA too.

David Fairborn, OH

Um Greg, I went to Oregon. McArthur Court is a tough tough place to play, regardless of Oregon's record. So loud, just like autzen.

Erin Andrews

Wanna do lunch next time I'm at the office?

StreakMaster

  (12:10 PM)

Is the Pope catholic? That means yes.

Dominic (new york)

cuba vs mexico...really? do you want people to win the million

StreakMaster

  (12:10 PM)

WBC is unpredictable, are you kidding?

Will J (Portland, OR)

Will you be attending any tournament sessions?

StreakMaster

  (12:10 PM)

Yeah right, I will be at Streak Headquarters all week.

Jon (NY)

haha he'd have no chance with Erin Andrews. Too funny.

Miner (San Francisco)

...but I thought David Stern owned America. Am I wrong?

Matt (Los Angeles, CA)

Kobe, LeBron, or Wade. Whose your MVP?

StreakMaster

  (12:11 PM)

LeBron, especially if they get the one-seed. Most valuable is how I do these and he is clearly that.

Brandon (IL)

Whose your pick to cut down the nets this year?

StreakMaster

  (12:11 PM)

Louisville. Been saying that for a while.

Tim (WF, TX)

any locks 4 the day? have a losing streak of 5, and need about two correct picks a day in order to win

StreakMaster

  (12:12 PM)

Check TheStreakMaster.com later on for the locks.

Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles, CA)

Sorry it took me so long to get going yesterday vs Dirk. I didn't know I was on Streak for the Cash until the 2nd quarter.

Steiny McWhinerson - NYC

what up SM. hope the weekend was great. Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet's go streakin'. Jmerms says hello.

StreakMaster

  (12:12 PM)

Who?

Dougie

Binghamton over Duke, you heard it here first!

StreakMaster

  (12:13 PM)

I would love to see that one. Looks like I'm not the only one who remembers the Belmont game.

Chess Player (Winston Salem, NC)

Any chance of a 16 over a 1? Mocs over UCONN?

StreakMaster

  (12:13 PM)

No chance, but Memphis or Mich St. could lose.

Brandon (IL)

How bout the US about throwin down with the Dutch last night? I guess maybe our team does care...it was kinda nice to see

StreakMaster

  (12:14 PM)

I agree, but I still haven't watched that much of the WBC to give an opinion.

Ryan (Ohio)

16 over 1 will not happen this year, but watch rob morris over MSU

StreakMaster

  (12:14 PM)

Are you kidding? Robert Morris?

Eugene H (NJ)

Memphis could lose? hahah they have been playing the equivalent of 15 seeds all season in the c-usa and they have been routinely beating them by 20-30

StreakMaster

  (12:15 PM)

I don't think that Eug but who knows?

Miner (San Francisco)

No, there is never a chance of a 16-1 upset. Ever.

Jmermsteinymcwhinerson

Read the Morning buzz transcripts to get the steiny/jmerms stuff.

StreakMaster

  (12:15 PM)

I like to avoid Buzz at all costs.

Sue (Bird)

So on a scale of 1 to 10, how interested are you in the Women's Tourney Selection Show tonight?

StreakMaster

  (12:15 PM)

10+ UConn dominates.

Steiny (NYC)

Streak, you just said Memphis or Mich. state could lose in the first round, but jump on Ryan for saying robert morris?

StreakMaster

  (12:16 PM)

Whoops. Thought Morris was a 16 seed.

Matt(Los Angeles)

Temple over Arizona State. No one is talking about how Christmas will come in the Spring this year.

StreakMaster

  (12:16 PM)

Doubt it. Temple's luck probably runs out here.

Ryan (Ohio)

A 16-1 upset will happen eventually it just has too

Miner (San Francisco)

You are Buzz, Streakmaster.

StreakMaster

  (12:16 PM)

No I am not! I see Buzz everyday but we are VERY different.

Greg (Boston)

If BC can get past USc, they will beat Mich State, the matchup is a good one for them

StreakMaster

  (12:16 PM)

SuperFrauds.

Greg (Boston)

Wow, Buzz has a lot of haters...

V (USA)

Is there a bug on Streak for the Cash where you pick a matchup and then the next day or a couple of hours later, it is magically erased? It has happened to me.

StreakMaster

  (12:17 PM)

Are you sure about that? You should contact the feedback team.

Eugene H (NJ)

im a huge temple fan but the christmas in march/spring thing is getting old, everyone says it!

Lane Kiffin (Knoxville, TN)

People who chat with the Streakmaster will end up working at gas stations

StreakMaster

  (12:17 PM)

Hahaha my chatters never fail!

Justin (WV)

Will Jay Cutler be a Denver Bronco this season? Where will Anqaun Boldin be playing?

StreakMaster

  (12:18 PM)

I am still on team Cutler, hello topic for the website!

Matt (Los Angeles, CA)

Lane that's hilarious!

Miner (San Francisco)

I think it's fishy that you two share a last name

StreakMaster

  (12:18 PM)

Yeah, I guess he did have it first.

Miner (San Francisco)

"contact the feedback team"= not my problem. I don't care.

StreakMaster

  (12:18 PM)

Haha you caught me.

Greg (Boston)

V, you have to click the matchup, not just put the cursor over it...

Miner (San Francisco)

The women's tourney should just be a UConn inter-squad game. Why bother with the other games?

StreakMaster

  (12:19 PM)

I agree. They are ridiculous.

Burt

did you ever realize you have 2 first names? Jason Gilbert

StreakMaster

  (12:19 PM)

I let my parents have it in the 5th grade, trust me.

tim, buffalo, ny

looks like you've used the ol' name recognition/american angle to perfection again, 90% picking blake, meanwhile he's a huge dog. nicely done sm...

StreakMaster

  (12:19 PM)

A thank you.

King (TX)

C'mon SM post it.....you know it's hilarious!

StreakMaster

  (12:20 PM)

It is, but very inappropriate.

Matt (Los Angeles, CA)

they should put the UCONN women's team in the Men's tourney just to see how they would do. They need some competition.

StreakMaster

  (12:20 PM)

I agree, sweet 16?

McCaulay Culkin

Emancipating yourself from your parents is the way to go.

StreakMaster

  (12:20 PM)

Hahaha another classic post.

Ryan (Ohio)

How far will Oklahoma go? mens not womens

StreakMaster

  (12:21 PM)

Hard to say. I never trusted them with just one great player. But 2003 Syracuse was sort of similar and look what happened.

Rebecca (St Louis)

Jason Gilbert?? Thank you Burt.

StreakMaster

  (12:21 PM)

Ugh, thanks a lot Burt haha.

Alan (Glen Rock, NJ)

What are the chances that Syracuse can avoid getting upset in the first round again?

StreakMaster

  (12:22 PM)

No way. They are playing way too well right now. 2-3 zone could be a killer.

Eric Maynor (Richmond, VA)

Do me and my boys from VCU score the upset over UCLA?

StreakMaster

  (12:22 PM)

That is my #1 upset.

Justin (WV)

Shutup Lane. Don't you have some recruiting violations to commit?

StreakMaster

  (12:23 PM)

Ouch.

Jon-Seattle

Hey SM just curious on how u got this job and what qualified you for the position?

StreakMaster

  (12:23 PM)

A lot of luck. The two straight 25-wins against the spread helped too.

Pepper Brooks (The Ocho)

I've never been to a crue concert. But I work with a couple women who are in their mid 40s who love them and get pit seats for every show that's around the area.

StreakMaster

  (12:24 PM)

I wish I had the pit, it must be nuts down there.

Matt (Los Angeles, CA)

Zags over UNC. Please put this matchup up if it happens.

StreakMaster

  (12:24 PM)

Scary matchup. NC is way too inconsistent.

Mike (indy)

Jon-Seattle - He was a Bookie in School. And apparently a good one.

StreakMaster

  (12:24 PM)

Shhhhhhhhhhh!

Nathan (Pittsburg, KS)

Will Puerto Rico Beat Venezuela?

StreakMaster

  (12:24 PM)

I say no but what do I know about baseball?

Rich Rodriguez (Ann Arbor)

People in WV who lash out at coaches and can't get over coaches leaving them for Michigan need to get lives.

StreakMaster

  (12:25 PM)

Wow-zers!

Streakmaster

Jon, I was hanging out on a street corner in Hartford, begging for change when some dude in a suit liked my sign...The rest is history

StreakMaster

  (12:25 PM)

hahaha

Paul (Minneapolis)

Since no one is even close to 27 in SFTC...have you considered giving out any freebies to stimulate the SFTC economy?

StreakMaster

  (12:25 PM)

No way. I was embarrassed last year because of BigSam. Not this time!

Nicky J

is it just you who runs the contest? or do other people help you look for matchups and stuff like that

StreakMaster

  (12:26 PM)

I have plenty of help. We're a big team here at Streak Headquarters.

Nathank (Pittsburg, KS)

Predict the future for me SM

StreakMaster

  (12:26 PM)

I'd start with changing your name.

lucas house (wisconsin)

Look out for michigan they will pull off a couple of upsets they will beat clemson then go on and beat oklahoma

StreakMaster

  (12:27 PM)

Good point. Michigan could be one of those teams.

Miner (San Francisco)

I keep reading "steak headquarters." MMMMMM, steak.

Rebecca (St Louis)

Where exactly is this "Streak Headquarters" at?

StreakMaster

  (12:27 PM)

On campus right next to Matthew Berry and those guys.

King Quan

you cant make fun of anyones names

Dearborn, Michigan

This is the best contest on the internet everyday when i come home from work i watch soccer. I love this contest, and hope u can keep it going. Thanx

StreakMaster

  (12:28 PM)

Wow, a compliment!

Dorothy (Kansas)

Is it true if I click my red boots three times and say "there's no game like streak" that I win the million?

StreakMaster

  (12:28 PM)

I must be the Tin-Man then right?

Brad (Carlisle, PA)

When you do brackets, do you do 1 sheet, or many sheets?

StreakMaster

  (12:28 PM)

I like my one. If I do more then one, I can't cheer for just one side per game you know?

Matt (IN)

Did you hold your lighter aloft during "Home Sweet Home"?

StreakMaster

  (12:29 PM)

I don't smoke, so it was a cell phone.

Mike(Charlotte)

American over Villanova, have to like the experienced schools starting 5 seniors

StreakMaster

  (12:29 PM)

No chance. I watched that American/Holy Cross game, awful. 'Nova by 20.

Ryan (Ohio)

Im going to win about 26 straight starting today just make the check out to me

StreakMaster

  (12:29 PM)

You all heard it here first.

Sam (Montreal)

Can you get some CBI tounrey action on the board? My team (Wyoming) is playing Northeastern tomorrow night. please please please

StreakMaster

  (12:30 PM)

One more please and you got it!

Matt (Los Angeles, CA)

Cal over Memphis is possible. If Cal can make 3's(they have the nation's best 3-pt percentage), then watch out.

StreakMaster

  (12:30 PM)

Thanks for the info, I will actually consider that.

Molly Qerim

hey, you want to grab a bite later tonight?

StreakMaster

  (12:30 PM)

Don't play that game.

Pete (NC)

Streak, I asked Buzz why some chatters get an hour while others only get 30 minutes. He said it depends on their popularity. That explains everything!

StreakMaster

  (12:30 PM)

He is absolutely right.

Brad (Carlisle, PA)

I am liking picking against all the schools that pulled upsets last year... ie: VCU going down this year

StreakMaster

  (12:31 PM)

Bad strategy.

James (Seattle)

Any clue why in the olympics, curling matches take 45 mins, but when the women's curling is on SFTC, the matches take 4 hrs and block me out of 2 days of picks? Is the Canadian government involved?

StreakMaster

  (12:31 PM)

That's why I stay away from Curling.

Matt (IN)

Have you ever read "The Dirt"? There's no way you can be a Crue fan if you haven't.

StreakMaster

  (12:31 PM)

I own it as well as Nikki's other book.

Rebecca (St Louis)

Who do we need to talk to so you will get a whole hour?

StreakMaster

  (12:32 PM)

Buzzmaster!

Justin (WV)

Hey Rich... How's that Michigan thing working out? And tell John we said hello.

Ryan (Chapel Hill, NC)

What's the chance Binghamton can beat Duke? Binghamton has players that can make it rain 3's

StreakMaster

  (12:32 PM)

I expect it to be under ten, just like last year.

Matt (Los Angeles, CA)

Whose this year's George Mason?

StreakMaster

  (12:33 PM)

When I look at it as of now, probably VCU.

Eugene H (NJ)

did you see the guy this weekend who had 26 losses in a row? impressive

StreakMaster

  (12:33 PM)

I don't pay attention to losers!

Bret Michaels

Do you watch my show?

StreakMaster

  (12:33 PM)

Not a fan of Poison, so no.

Matt (Los Angeles, CA)

VCU...the team that beat George Mason to get here...I like it.

Justin (WV)

What time we get a blog today?

StreakMaster

  (12:33 PM)

3 ish I am guessing. TheStreakMaster.com!

Keith (Hartford)

SM, any insight into how much additional traffic SFTC is driving to ESPN (I can't believe live tracking a curling or rubgy match was this popular before SFTC). There's gotta be a next segment, right???

StreakMaster

  (12:34 PM)

You would think so. STFC helps .com out a lot that's for sure.

StreakMaster

  (12:34 PM)

Alright guys, take care! See you next week.
