Title: March Madness
Post by: DJ_Tet on March 15, 2007, 09:33:46 AM

Who you got in your bracket?  Anyone involved in a large office pool?  My company didn't have a pool and I'm much too lazy to organize one.  I joined a Yahoo Pickum with some friends. 

The best I ever did was about 3 or 4 years ago.  I got 31 out of the first 32 games correct, but when the Sweet 16 rolled around it fell apart.  I think I only had 9 Sweet 16 teams, even though I had 31 of the first round winners.  It was the damndest thing.

Still, I love March Madness and the next four days is just shittons of awesome basketball.

I'm hoping Duke can keep their Sweet 16 streak alive, it's the second longest ever at 9.  I'm hoping UNC and Florida both go down, for various reasons.  In my bracket, I had Georgetown, Kansas, Oregon, and Ohio State in my Final Four.  For the Championship, I had Georgetown over Kansas.

Don't shit on my sports topic fegs.

I'm not on Facebook.  I wonder if the girls there are more sane than Myspace, can't be any worse.

After break I'm gonna fill out some ESPN brackets, see if I can win that Mil.  Fat chance, I should just buy some powerball tix.  I have as much chance as winning powerball as Wright State does of winning a game  :-*



Actually, quite a few people are predicting Wright St to pull the upset over Pittsburgh.  If they do, and Duke wins, they will meet on Saturday.  Duke and Pittsburgh are both similar, defensive clubs that struggle to score.  I'd imagine if Wright St can beat Pitt, they could beat Duke as well.  Tough to get two upsets over three days though.

Isn't it too late to fill out a bracket dude? I finished mine last night.

I'm in GAF's pool. We have around 37 people involved, if not more. Last year I tied for 8th lol

No it's not too late.  Technically the tournament started on Tuesday, but most sites don't count that game in their pool.  You should have until 11:30 or 12:00 to enter a pool today online.  The games start at 12:20 I think.

Don't ask why or how, but I ended up with Wisconsin beating UNC in the final, my final four is UCLA, Wisconsin, UNC, and Ohio St. Too many number ones I know. But, I do have VCU upsetting Duke in the first round. I had Texas Tech over G-Town though and Texas Tech was my sleeper, I put them through to the elite eight :( I also went with Winthrop over Notre Dame. I think that's all the upsets I put in.

I've got A&M winning it all, but I'd love for my school to win it all. Sadly I don't think we make it past the Sweet 16.
