(sorry, I set up a new thread to avoid confusion. the prior one can be closed)

[acomicbookgirl]

Is there a limit to how many brackets we can do?

[kwok_talk]

Is there a limit to how many brackets we can do?

I hadn't thought about that. I guess one unless everyone wants multiple

[acomicbookgirl]

Smart me forgets to save it.. Damn it!

[fred]

My picks are in
I know nothing

[kwok_talk]

My picks are in
I know nothing

Neither do I. Prepare to be dominated (but definitely not by me)

[fred]

I had to pick Albany, it's regionally required.

[iSteve]

I'm in. I've never done this before.

[fred]

this is me:

[iSteve]

This is me:

http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/men/970231/printbracket

[fred]

can't see it

[kwok_talk]

This is me?

nevermind. I have no idea how to copy it into my post.

[jgg0610]

Question: I've made my selections and have saved but it still shows incomplete. What step am I missing here?

[iSteve]

Can't seem to post my brackets. Fred, how did you do it?

[kwok_talk]

Question: I've made my selections and have saved but it still shows incomplete. What step am I missing here?

Not sure. Did you predict the final score?

[fred]

unfortunately, we can't see each other's choices from the list until Thursday so I'm not sure. Wish I could help

[fred]

Can't seem to post my brackets.

I took a screenshot of mine, saved and cut it down in Photoshop, and then stuck it on my PhotoBucket account

it wasn't as complicated as it sounds.

[jgg0610]

Not sure. Did you predict the final score?
Yeah, I just went all the way through each of the brackets again to make sure I hadn't miissed anything and I've got everything. Is there supposed to be a submit button once you enter the tie breaker?

[acomicbookgirl]

this is me:

http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u116/fredhosley/bracket.gif

Nice... Grant it, I don't like that you picked Duke over UCLA. :(

To each their own.. :)

[fred]

And here I thought the real stretch was SUNY Albany going to the sweet 16

[pv_2]

I'm in - thanks for setting this up KWOK.

[fred]

forgot that part
thanks kwok

[jgg0610]

One last question and then I'm giving up for the night. When you finish choosing all of your selections, does it show complete under your bracket or does it show incomplete?

[iSteve]

It shows complete.

[fred]

mine shows complete too

[acomicbookgirl]

Let's see if this works: My Bracket (http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/men/970716/bracketoverview?)

I'm in. Thanks Kwok. :)

[jgg0610]

Thanks for the help everyone. I think I've been looking at the computer too much today. Picked every game including the tie breaker score but missed the actual final.:o

Thanks for setting this up Kwok.

[fred]

not so much. I think you'd have to be logged in as you to see it

[fred]

Thanks for the help everyone. I think I've been looking at the computer too much today. Picked every game including the tie breaker score but missed the actual final.:o

that's always the way. In my job, a fresh set of eyes usually solve the problem, that's why I felt bad about not being able to help directly

[acomicbookgirl]

Darn it! :(

Its ok. I forgot to save and continue earlier.. :(

[ronxo]

I literally know nothing about the NCAA but I played along.
My final four is Maryland Vs. Wright Street(?) and Oral Roberts vs Xavier(!)
and then Wright Street vs Oral Roberts
with Oral Roberts winning it all, cause they make me giggle.

I not very knowledgable either anymore but I believe that it's Wright State

Oral Roberts? Really? Was it the name? Would you have pulled for Anal Washington as hard? But seriously though, I've heard of Oral Roberts throughout the years and it makes me wonder if it's a college started by the televangelist(sp?) guy but not enough to look it up.

Not sure if he started it, specifically, but it is named after him.

[kwok_talk]

Cable/Wolverine (Michigan then?) will show up minutes before the final game to kill the Xavier team.

[fred]

that's just gross

[jimski]

Percentage-wise, how many people participate in these things because they know how the various colleges' teams are doing this year, and how many people are just going, "Ooh, not Duke. Their mascot is weird-lookin'"? I see these detailed brackets and think no one could possibly know that much about college basketball. Of course, given my familiarity with the sport, the only pick I can make with confidence is "SLU Billikens, eliminated three rounds before the first round somehow."

I know nothing about college sports (actually dislike college sports compared to pro), so all of my picks are based upon who I think is cooler, which is generally based upon their name or some personal tie. I always seem drawn to Creighton. I have no idea where this school is, but I just like their name.

It’s Spoonhour time, Jimski! I went to Wash U. Our concept of sports was a math quiz.

[fred]

I used to be huge into all sports. I don't really watch anything but the NFL now. I waste all that crazy energy and brain power on comics now. I may not know who led the league in rebounds last year, but Wolverine #5 I've got covered.

[ekval]

I'm in too...

In fairness I should mention that I used to coach high school ball. Of course, we were really bad, so I'm not sure what that will say about my picks...

[fred]

I played basketball in high school
I expect it to not help

[ekval]

Actually, I started coaching elementary ball. Surprisingly, I got less hate mail coaching the high schoolers.

[horatio616]

I'll do a bracket asap. I'd rather anyone other than "Apocalypto" Noah win. Florida is a natural enemy of Kentucky, my alma mater. I'm leaning toward either Kansas or Texas A&M winning it all.

[ekval]

Looks like you and I will have to root against each other horatio. Of course, I didn't end up going to Florida, but I tend to root for them in anything Penn State doesn't compete in. (Like hoops...and some years, football)

[horatio616]

Looks like you and I will have to root against each other horatio. Of course, I didn't end up going to Florida, but I tend to root for them in anything Penn State doesn't compete in. (Like hoops...and some years, football)

I rooted for them against Ohio State in football, but I really can't stand how Noah acts like he just saved the world everytime he scores a point. He and Florida already have a big head and we can't have them thinking that they're a dynasty.

[fred]

Well, he did build that ark

who are we talking about?

[horatio616]

Well, he did build that ark

who are we talking about?

You're talking about Steve Carrell. This is Yanick Noah's (tennis player) son. Plays for Florida, looks like an extra from Apocalypto, suffers from delusions from grandeur, draft stock dropping.

But of course you already knew that. You're pulling my leg!

[fred]

I really didn't. I spend all of my Yanick Noah time reading/talking about comics. I'm becoming less rounded

[ekval]

I agree that Noah is a showboater to some degree and there is certainly a star element to the Florida team with like 3 of their fathers being former athletes. But I think the fact that when they could have left to go pro they stayed for a chance to defend is pretty cool and they play well as a team (all of the starters averaging close to double digits). Plus, Humphrey is from the town I live in and spoke at our school last year and was a real down to earth guy. So they still get my vote.

I do understand about Noah though...he is an odd bird. But then again, some of that is ok...I mean, we have a few around these parts...

[horatio616]

I do understand about Noah though...he is an odd bird. But then again, some of that is ok...I mean, we have a few around these parts...

Of course if he were on my team I'd love him.

Having someone to really root against is almost as fun as having someone to root for. I'll need that this year since UK will be lucky to make it past the first round.

[ekval]

UK makes it past the first round in my bracket anyway....hehe

[horatio616]

Beating Kansas would be... delicious.

[ekval]

I'll vote for Kentucky beating Kansas, though I think I have it the other way around in my bracket. Kentucky just hasn't been kicking it on all cylinders this year it doesn't seem.

[horatio616]

I'll vote for Kentucky beating Kansas, though I think I have it the other way around in my bracket. Kentucky just hasn't been kicking it on all cylinders this year it doesn't seem.

They lack poise. 2-7 in games decided by 5 points or less. Gave away the game to Miss St in the SEC tourney. Had two chances to ice the game but missed two free throws and had a lane violation (!) and lost in OT. Unbelievable.

[conorkilpatrick]

I'm in*.

*I know shit about college basketball so I consulted my slightly more knowledgeable brother.

It’s Spoonhour time, Jimski! I went to Wash U. Our concept of sports was a math quiz.

I actually like watching college basketball over pro basketball.. I used to watch Hockey but i'm slowly getting back into it. Baseball is my soft spot. :)

Um.. I just listed to PTI and Mike and Mike and took it from there... I'm rooting for a California team especially for UCLA for obvious reasons. ;) Texas Tech because I have a soft spot for Bobby Knight. If Adam Morrison (sigh! :o ) was still in Gonzaga, I would've rooted for them...

[acomicbookgirl]

Cable/Wolverine (Michigan then?) will show up minutes before the final game to kill the Xavier team.

Yeah.. I'd like to see that one.

[horatio616]

Good Lord hasn't UCLA won enough? ;)

Adam Morrison has the best porn 'stache.

Horatio's Bracket of Agamatto is up!

[kwok_talk]

If you want to play, make sure that you sign up and fill out your bracket tonight. Games start tomorrow, so the registration will shut down sometime then.

Good luck!

[iSteve]

Kwok_talk, thanks again for setting this up. Should be a lot of fun.

[fred]

I suck at these. I look forward to the public humiliation

it should be fun

[acomicbookgirl]

Good Lord hasn't UCLA won enough? ;)


I think this year is there year. :D

[watsonglenn]

Here is my bracket.

Well, that did not work

[iSteve]

We can see each other's brackets now.

[fred]

I'm 1-2 through the first 3 games
awesome start

[kwok_talk]

2-1. ARGH! Davidson almost had the upset! Stupid terps.

[fred]

2-1. ARGH! Davidson almost had the upset! Stupid terps.

that was my only win

[iSteve]

If I'm reading my full bracket correctly, I'm 3 out of 4. Winning teams called: Maryland, Washington State, and Boston College. Yoo-hoo.

[fred]

I went 1-2 in the first 3 and it looks like I'm going to go 3-1 in the second 4

[iSteve]

Oh man, Butler beat Old Dominion and I had ODU beating Maryland. Whoops.

[fred]

even though I'm 4-3 right now I'm in better shape than I should be because all 3 of my losers were picked to go out in the second round. So I'm still in all of the second round games at this point.

[iSteve]

Alright, Georgetown. Keep it up, Georgetown.

[fred]

Alright, Georgetown. Keep it up, Georgetown.

you can say that again
I have them going to the finals

[iSteve]

I have Georgetown going all the way.

[fred]

I've got them losing to Florida in the final

[iSteve]

I have Georgetown winning over Virginia Tech. Ra-ra, home-teams.

[fred]

I've got Virginia Tech getting beaten by Kansas in the sweet 16

[iSteve]

Fred, you've moved up - 5 out of 8. We're neck-in-neck.

[fred]

I think I'm about to go to 9-3

[fred]

VCU took down Duke. It's a good thing I didn't have them going to the Elite 8.

Wait a minute, yes I did.

[iSteve]

I've got VCU winning until they play VA Tech. Tech wins.

[jgg0610]

VCU took down Duke. It's a good thing I didn't have them going to the Elite 8.

Wait a minute, yes I did.
I feel your pain. I had them losing to UCLA in the regional semis.

[acomicbookgirl]

VCU took down Duke. It's a good thing I didn't have them going to the Elite 8.

Wait a minute, yes I did.


I was in shock when I saw the score... Texas Tech lost. :( I think I had Duke in my final four.. Damn it!

I'm doing so bad its not even funny.. :(

[fred]

I went 10-6 for the day. Duke was my only loser that I had winning more games.

[acomicbookgirl]

I still have my final four so I guess i'm ok for now... I still can't believe Duke and Texas Tech lost.. :( I knew I should've done another bracket..

[pv_2]

10-6 here - but I did lose a couple of Sweet 16 teams. Picked a couple dumb upsets - in what is so far The Year of the Favorite.

[fred]

The Year of the Favorite.

except duke

****ing duke

[iSteve]

Yeah VCU - hometown team! Take that Blue Devils!

I won 12, lost 4. Better than expected.

[kwok_talk]

Yeah VCU - hometown team! Take that Blue Devils!

I won 12, lost 4. Better than expected.

I love how exciting this all is, even though I could care less about NCAA basketball

[iSteve]

I love how exciting this all is, even though I could care less about NCAA basketball

I'm right there with you, Kwok.

[kwok_talk]

I'm right there with you, Kwok.

Maybe they should do a bracket for the presidential election. Maybe that could actually get me interested in politics.

Al Gore for the upset! (that was for you Steve.)

[fred]

Maybe they should do a bracket for the presidential election. Maybe that could actually get me interested in politics.

Al Gore for the upset! (that was for you Steve.)

I actually have to force myself not to pay attention. I love politics. I'd kick ass at that game.

[iSteve]

Al Gore for the upset! (that was for you Steve.)

Thank you, Kwok. I'm still hoping for Gore as a late-round draft pick - to use sport language.

[iSteve]

I actually have to force myself not to pay attention. I love politics. I'd kick ass at that game.

I've been a political junkie since I co-majored in political philosophy in college.

Ok, let's not be that place

[fred]

I've been a political junkie since I co-majored in political philosophy in college.

I used to watch 2 or 3 hours of news talk infotainment shows a day

[fred]

oh poor albany
and poor my bracket

[paper]

Ok, this basketball thing is getting out of hand. Can this be over so I can have my Dr. Phil back?

[iSteve]

oh poor albany
and poor my bracket

Oh yes... poor Albany... But who beat them? Virginia did you say? I believe it was Virginia. UVA kicked Albany's patutie! Ha-ha-ha! See what happens when you criticize Richmond!

[fred]

whatever dude
at least I can have a radar detector

[kwok_talk]

Yeah Winthrop! I’m getting scared about Wisconsin, though…

[fred]

they're pulling it out

the nevada v creighton game
I listened to it on the way home
it was exciting

[iSteve]

I've totally blown the Midwest.

[fred]

Ever write something really funny and then punk out and erase it?

just did that

[kwok_talk]

Ever write something really funny and then punk out and erase it?

just did that

Mine are more like I fortunately realize it's not funny then I erase.

[paper]

Ever write something really funny and then punk out and erase it?

just did that

I'll go there.

*hands iSteve a chapstick*

[fred]

nice job :D

[acomicbookgirl]

oh poor albany
and poor my bracket


Albany lost?! I'm sorry.. My poor bracket too.. Darn it! :(

[iSteve]

I'll go there.

*hands iSteve a chapstick*

I soooooo walked into that one. :eek:

[acomicbookgirl]

they're pulling it out

the nevada v creighton game
I listened to it on the way home
it was exciting

what's the score on that?

[paper]

I soooooo walked into that one. :eek:

Even funnier if you read Fred's post immediately above it.

[fred]

I had initially written

Your jaws must be killing you

[paper]

I had initially written

Your jaws must be killing you

The Maestro.

And now I leave you good people to your basketball.

[fred]

what's the score on that?

77-71 Nevada

in OT

some guy named Marcellus Kemp had 27 points with 9 coming in OT

Argh!!!!! So not my bracket! I knew I should've done two.. :mad:

[acomicbookgirl]

Sweet!!!! Ohio St. wins in OT!!!! :D

[iSteve]

Sweet!!!! Ohio St. wins in OT!!!! :D

Ohio St. is one of my picks too.

[acomicbookgirl]

Ohio St. is one of my picks too.


It was such a good game. Louieville vs. Texas A&M now.. shame we all get different games.. I wish I could watch all the games.. Can't wait for UCLA vs. Indiana later.. :)

[kwok_talk]

Ohio St. is one of my picks too.

Whoa. I just saw the highlights. Oden's foul seemed somewhat questionable. That guy will be a monster in the NBA. I always forget he still hasn't been really using his right hand fully. And the dude looks like he's 35.

[acomicbookgirl]

Whoa. I just saw the highlights. Oden's foul seemed somewhat questionable. That guy will be a monster in the NBA. I always forget he still hasn't been really using his right hand fully. And the dude looks like he's 35.

He will be. I just wish he would stay in college at least one more year..

[kwok_talk]

He will be. I just wish he would stay in college at least one more year..

He's made comments that would sound like he might. I'm sure the NBA would be a hard thing to turn down though.

[acomicbookgirl]

He's made comments that would sound like he might. I'm sure the NBA would be a hard thing to turn down though.


I think the NBA should change their rule from one year to two or three.. An education is important.. Plus, it doesn't seem good when a player goes to the NBA when they turn 18..

[acomicbookgirl]

Ahhhh!!! 3 left out of my final four.. Texas A&M wins over Louisville72-69.. :(

[fred]

It was such a good game. Louieville vs. Texas A&M now.. shame we all get different games.. I wish I could watch all the games.. Can't wait for UCLA vs. Indiana later.. :)

the OSU game kicked ass. very exciting

[acomicbookgirl]

2 games into OT.. Sweet.. :)

[iSteve]

the OSU game kicked ass. very exciting

Congrats Fred on moving up in the group rankings. I am a little ticked that you took my slot - 7 - now I'm back to 8 again. Oh well. :o

[iSteve]

Let's go, Georgetown!

[fred]

Congrats Fred on moving up in the group rankings. I am a little ticked that you took my slot - 7 - now I'm back to 8 again. Oh well. :o

thank you sir
I'm sure it won't last

vandy game just went to double ot and it looks like vcu is back in the game

they were getting owned earlier

[acomicbookgirl]

thank you sir
I'm sure it won't last

vandy game just went to double ot and it looks like vcu is back in the game

they were getting owned earlier


6 seconds left... and VCU is losing..

[iSteve]

My poor VCU Rams. Excuse me while I go cry in my beer.

[fred]

that was a hell of a game. I've got to hand it to them.

[acomicbookgirl]

Yes it was.. Yeah! UCLA vs. Indiana is on!!!!! :)

[acomicbookgirl]

UCLA wins!!!! :)

[fred]

I've been analyzing the brackets of the people in front of me.

I think that my only chance at this point is for Kansas and Florida to keep winning. They seem to be the principal differences.

I could still get 179 of 192 points so that's cool.

Morning/Afternoon all. :)

[drwally]

You're all a bunch of sports geeks.

Sorry, just had to get that off my chest. As you were....:rolleyes:

[acomicbookgirl]

You're all a bunch of sports geeks.

Nothing wrong with that... :)

I love it when my non-comic interests intertwine with my comic interests. :D

UVA is winning.. Can't wait to see USC vs. Texas.. Grant it, I think Texas wil win..

Oh, nothing wrong with it. I'm 6 foot 7, and the second (and last time) I played basketball when I was a teenager, I broke my glasses.

You? Geek. :D

[fred]

The UVA game was great. Poor UVA. They almost had it.

[iSteve]

Poor, poor Cavaliers. :( I'm going to go cry some more in my beer. At least it was the Vols who did the deed. Go Vols.

[iSteve]

Well, I've lost both the Midwest and the South. My hope rests with the North and East.

By the way, why is the Midwest called the Midwest? Shouldn't it just be the West?

[iSteve]

Conor, congrats! You've really moved up in the group standings.

[fred]

forever #7 it would seem

hey the florida game is great

[acomicbookgirl]

I hope Florida wins.. :)

[fred]

it looks like they will now

I was sweating over it for a while

[acomicbookgirl]

You? Geek. :D

I'm sure if they were televising the NCAA tournament in Japan you would have the rush we're having..

:D

[kwok_talk]

UNLV pulls out the upset, that'll probably screw a lot of us up

[acomicbookgirl]

I so hope Oregon wins...

[fred]

there goes wisconsin
lost by 6

[acomicbookgirl]

there goes wisconsin
lost by 6


Damn it! :mad:

[fred]

it only cost me one game. I had them going down to Oregon in the next round

[iSteve]

I just lost the West. My only hope is the East with Georgetown.

[conorkilpatrick]

Texas is about to **** my bracket.

[acomicbookgirl]

Memphis Wins!!! One right for the day..

[acomicbookgirl]

Texas is about to **** my bracket.

Better hope they get a good run in the next 4 minutes or so..

[iSteve]

And down goes Kentucky to Kansas. :(

[acomicbookgirl]

Bye Bye Texas...

[conorkilpatrick]

Well, being in second place was fun while it lasted...

[iSteve]

Well, being in second place was fun while it lasted...

At least you're still ahead of Ron.

[fred]

damn conor, that one hurt.

I'm still doing shitty but my final four is alive

and I can potentially go 7-1 in the next round. I need that.

It's saying I have 38 points but a count shows 44. I hope I'm just waiting for an update.

[conorkilpatrick]

damn conor, that one hurt.

I dropped from second to fourth with that one loss. Ouch.

[fred]

I'm about to take sole possession of 7th place back with the next update

awesome

[iSteve]

I sooooo own 10th place - until the next update at least.

[iSteve]

This little experiment in NCAA brackets has reconfirmed the wisdom that I shouldn't engage in sports gambling - or any other type of gambling for that matter.

[fred]

You bet on the fight in Rocky 3 and you picked Mr. T?

He was due

[iSteve]

My wife and I are watching women's NCAA basketball. The Lady Vols (TN) just won against Drake 57-16. Go Volunteers!

[fred]

16? Jeez, did they have a hoop at each end?

[iSteve]

16? Jeez, did they have a hoop at each end?

The Lady Vols are just that good. They have this one player, Candace Parker, who can slam dunk. Not too many women can slam dunk.

By the way, the game is still ongoing. I thought it was over. The score is not 64-23. Still a whoopin' though.

[fred]

do you think drake knows it's still going on?

[iSteve]

do you think drake knows it's still going on?

All too well, I imagine.

[kwok_talk]

Ack! Goodbye Texas and my chances of winning. See you in the NBA, Durant.

[horatio616]

If Vandy, Pitt, or Oregon advance to the Final Four, I'm screwed. I put all my money on Texas A&M, who I'm suddenly very shaky on...

[iSteve]

Fred, the final score of the Lady Vols over Drake was 76-37. Ouch!

[fred]

my god that's a thrashing

never saw violence to women that bad at ike turner's house

[fred]

I didn't realize that they were off until Thursday now. That kind of sucks

[iSteve]

Now I have to wait three more days so that I can sink further in our poll.

I still have 3 out of my final 4. If I lose anymore of them, i'm sol. :(

[horatio616]

Spector's using the box score at his trial in his defense.

Speaking of NCAAW, google LSU women coach resignation.

Scandalous!

You better hope they keep the lead but its close...

Well, it depends on the Tennesse/Ohio outcome :-)

Is that why you changed your avatar?

No, just thought it was time for a change, I'm trying to change it to a scuba trip photo, but it's not showing up on my end. What are you seeing?

Great, should I post the one with me and a mantitee?

[acomicbookgirl]

Well, i'm calling it a night...

[paper]

Great, should I post the one with me and a mantitee?

Yes. Always go with manatee when the option is present.

Where the hell is everybody tonight? I came back to the boards after a long time down at school and it only took me 15 minutes to catch up with the threads. That's not supposed to happen.

Its not.... But enjoy it while you can.. ;)

Ohio St. is coming back.. :)

I'm utterly blown away that they won. They were down by 18 when I fell asleep. I was freaking out. Go Buckeyes

[iSteve]

My results thus far in the NCAA pool does not bode well for my participation in Fantasy Baseball. :(

Ha, you’ll do fine. The baseball is a lot less volatile than the NCAA fantasy brackets (the rankings have constantly been changing with every game).

[iSteve]

My highest ranking was 7, now I'm at 12 - 3rd from last place. Oh well.

[iSteve]

By the way, congrats to you Kwok - third place.

You're not alone, Six Gun. I'm originally from East TN. My dad was a UT grad. Always a sad day when the Vols lose.

My parents just moved to Hermitage

Message me when you visit, I'll direct you to some good returaunts and comic shops.

I had to pull for Ohio State - they could've cost me 12 points

[horatio616]

Bruce Pearl just choked his way out of the Kentucky job. I think Marquette should start looking for a replacement...

Hey, my mom is friends with him through her advertizing job (she sells adsfor the Vols Network)

[ekval]

So many Tennesseans....and here I've been afraid to admit where I live.

Why afraid? Tennessee's a great place to live - even though I moved to VA.

[fred]

I'm starting to think I have a legitimate shot here of being in first on the day that counts

[iSteve]

Yippie! Georgetown won. I'm still in play!

[acomicbookgirl]

Crap UNC is losing.. I won't fret just yet.... First half after all...

[six-gun]

Yippie! Georgetown won. I'm still in play!

Its funny seeing "yippie" below a picture of Leonidas' glaring

[acomicbookgirl]

UNC better win or i'll officially take last permanently.. :(

[fred]

you're in luck

[acomicbookgirl]

you're in luck


There's hope after all... :)

[fred]

I'm in third now. This round coming up is HUGE. Let's go Kansas, Florida, Georgetown, and Ohio State.

[jerome]

i was a little too upset happy...

[fred]

It's odd. The higest seed still playing is a 3(Oregon). Oregon's Midwest is the only bracket whose Final Four rep won't be determined by a 1 vs 2 game.

[kwok_talk]

First? oh wowza! i haven't had cable working, so I didn't know the results until this morning. I'm glad I timetravelled into the future to get that sports almanac! If only that pesky Marty Mcfly doesn't mess things up for me...

[fred]

it won't be mcfly, it'll be texas

[fred]

action starts at 4:40 today with Ohio State and Memphis and continues at 7:05 with Kansas and UCLA

[acomicbookgirl]

I need Florida, UCLA, North Carolina and Ohio State to win...

[fred]

I need Florida, Kansas, Georgetown, and Ohio State

[acomicbookgirl]

It could be bad for either you or me Fred..

[conorkilpatrick]

I'm ****ed but good.

The only team left in my bracket in the final four is Florida.

[fred]

It could be bad for either you or me Fred..

I'm pulling for it to be bad for you ;)

[acomicbookgirl]

I'm pulling for it to be bad for you ;)

Likewise Fred.. ;)

Ohio St. and Florida are the only common ground..

[acomicbookgirl]

I'm ****ed but good.

The only team left in my bracket in the final four is Florida.

They'll make it... Don't sweat it. :)

[fred]

I'm ****ed but good.

The only team left in my bracket in the final four is Florida.

I've spent far too much time analyzing brackets lately because I'm hypercompetetive. Anyhow, I've discovered that in all likelyhood the winner will be decided by tomorrow night. JGG and I seem to have the best shot and we're only agree on one team for the final four.

[fred]

Likewise Fred.. ;)

Ohio St. is the only common ground..

and Florida. we're split even

[acomicbookgirl]

Ok.. 2 down and 2 to go.. I'm hoping Florida and North Carolina wins today!! My day was made when UCLA won! :) Games start at 2:40 Eastern Time..

[fred]

If anybody knows anyone over at the NCAA that can make them replay the UCLA game, I'd appreciate. That put me out I think

You're still in Fred.. Don't sweat.. On the other hand, hope that Georgetown wins... Grant it, if that happens, I might be out..

[fred]

M Hundred and I have the same bracket remaining. The best I can do is 2nd.

this all changes if ucla lost
bastards

[acomicbookgirl]

You and him have the same bracket? Well if your score is closer to the actual score then you'd be in first... You can hope for that. :)

[fred]

He's got me 85-78 in points right now. It'd be the other way around if not for UCLA.

[acomicbookgirl]

Oh ok.. :( Hey, at least you would be in 2nd.. :) The only good thing going for me is that my bracket is better than Ron's.. ;)

[acomicbookgirl]

UNC got a 5 point lead over Georgetown.. Sorry Fred..
