If the NCAA tourney has proved anything.....its that it doesnt matter how much you know....
Lets play for an autographed copy of Real Radio...

are you kidding...Paul FrankZappa Ryan....come to a Timmy show? I dont think I have seen him at a Solo Timmy show since the beautiful spring/summer run 2004 (232 Wooster St...Timmy Tour 04 Fo Life!)
-
yeah but the kid\'s got a \'PB Brain\' tattooed on his arm.. now who else can you say that about??? :lol:
-
Oh yeah? well I got "Psychedelic Breakfast" tatooed onto my Woody Woodpecker...
When its limp it reads PB
-
back to the thread subject, should be a tighter race this year because Uconn isnt a lock like they sort of were last year with all the damn CT folk picking em.
thanks for setting it up Dave, was gonna do it but didnt think yahoo had it available until sunday.
-
oh, and I am game for some $$ involvement. dont even have to start another yahoo group, just remember who is in for cash
-
just a reminder...
NOTE: Deadline to make picks is five minutes before the first game tips off on Thursday, March 17.
-
yo, this fat kid is doing this!
up under spacedawg, my friend!
ya\'ll ready to lose
-
who\'s everyone\'s pick for champ, nothing more or less? 1. who you want to see win, 2. who you think will win?
mine:
1. UNC
2. Arizona
-
and to spice it up.. 3. favorite Breakfast tune (today, i know it changes im sure)
mine:
3. Mooboo\'s (just listened to 2-4 Legend-wich version, naaaasty)
-
1. Arizona
2. Syracuse
3. Score, just cos its march madness
-
thanks ant, where the fuck did this post go? i like athletic opinions damn it, please people give me the picks??!!
-
Every pool I have ever been in was won by the person who knew the least about basketball. My mom is a bracket-pool ace and she doesn\'t watch any games. She makes picks based on academics. I\'m not kidding. It works.
-
wolfman, i believe that. the less you know the better it turns out, that always seems to be the case.
1. creighton
2. gonzaga
3. gravity
-
what up all,
I have to go with:
1) Illinois
2) UConn
3) TGSOT right now :guitar:
-
That\'s my name in the Yahoo pool, anyway.
For the record, 1. Georgia Tech, 2. Duke, 3. Tribal.
-
1. UNC
2. NC State (I know....conflict of interest)
3. D5
-
there\'s still some incomplete brackets!
Deadline to make picks is Thu Mar 17 12:15pm EST.
-
1. UW-Milwaukee
2. Illinois
3. Beer Jubilee
-
I\'m awarding myself an extra half-point for picking Oakland over Alabama A&M in the opening round.
-
i lost Pitt in the first round but still got 2 big east teams left
-
UMass!!!
-
I\'m awarding myself an extra half-point for picking Oakland over Alabama A&M in the opening round.
I\'m docking Pitchie a full point for this post.
-
I\'m adding three-quarters of a point to Seth\'s total for the accurate spelling of Pitchie. I\'m also docking myself 50 points for picking LSU to go the Elite 8.
-
1. UW-Milwaukee
2. Illinois
3. Beer Jubilee
niiiiice wolfman.
-
Yeah, it\'s easy for Wolf to say UC-Milwaukee after they win and he picks Alabama to beat them. By the way, Wolf and a few others are listed with 0 points on the leader board. What gives?
-
I dock myself 50 points for next years bracket for having \'Cuse in the final 4
-
im in the same boat, but mine is far worse for i had cuse and pitt
-
but... i can gloat for now because i stand alone at the top BWAHAHAHA!
-
I should get a bonus point for being the only person in our pool to pick a perfect region in round 1. I nailed Chicago, which includes UW-Milwaukee and UAB.
In all Yahoo pools, which must include a few hundred thousand entires, there is 1 person who picked a completely perfect first round. That is sick.
-
Last night was the first classic leg of the tournament. Syracuse was whistled for an unfair technical for hanging on the rim that gave Vermont a two-score lead late in the second half, but I\'m happy to see the Catamounts win since everyone got gung-ho about the Orange in about three seconds after the Big East Tournament (after they\'d been mediocre all year).
And another of my Elite 8 teams, Kansas, is merely dust in the wind. I\'d know more about this game if CBS cut to it when they should have instead of waiting until the last minute and showing us Michigan State-Old Diminion. Year after year, CBS botches the coverage and sticks with their "main game" for way too long when other games are more interesting (such as a 14 knocking off a 3).
Either way, Connecticut fans should be giddy with their path to the Elite 8 date with North Carolina looking better and better. I hate Connecticut so I have to get giddy about Georgia Tech, which outlasted GW and proved that some top seeds can live up to their billing.
Today: Texas Tech beats Gonzaga.

UCONN\'s still gotta get by NC State. Go Pack!!!!!!
-
You\'re right, but I can\'t support any team that lost to my sorry-ass St. John\'s this year. But, as always, I\'m rooting against the Calhouns.
-

St Johns...Cleveland Browns...Mets...
Pitchie, you root for the most pathetic assortment of teams of anyone I know. Don\'t you wish you were a Boston fan? Red Sox...champions. Patriots...champions. Celtics...hottest basketball team in the world right now and greatest team of all time.
-
but... i can gloat for now because i stand alone at the top BWAHAHAHA!
Enjoy it for now, but if I were you I would sit very humbly and quietly, because I have never seen a pool where someone led box to wire. Even that guy on Yahoo who went 32-0 in the first round, watch where he finishes...
-
You\'re right Seth. I do wish I rooted for the Red Sox (wow, one whole title in 86 years), the Celtics (who were my Lakers bitch in the 80\'s), and the Patriots (whose dynasty was started by the worst call in the history of athletics).
How \'bout them Zags?

minus the celtics, mostly because I have no knowledge of basketball, I could not agree more! Could be worse, you could be a hockey fan like myself and come to the reality that you will never see another NHL game played without replacement players.
-
Today: Texas Tech beats Gonzaga.
good call. I was thinking bigger today, ala Nevada over Illinois. . .
-
Ironically, I picked Nevada over Gonzaga in the second round last year and was right. I\'d love to see them knock off Illinois today, but I can\'t see it. I\'ll believe Gonzaga is more than just a mid-major team when they beat a Duke or an NC or a Kentucky in the Tournament. They reached the Elite 8 and lost to UConn in 99, then knocked out my second-seeded Johnnies in the second round in 2000. Since then, nothing but overhype and early exits.

exactly. theyve been all hype for so long now. i always pick an early exit for them and catch shit for it.....until of course they get the early exit.
-
I only pick them every year cos they always have a kid with a great head of hockey hair, heh
-
ha, funny i was actually gonna say the floppy haired white kid only wins once or twice a decade in the tourney. gonzaga has got to get away from that, it worked once but may never again for them. its time to bring in a lot more chocolate thunder zags!
-
for those of you not watching the UMW/BC game on right now I reccomend tuning in. I am not a big basketball fan, but this game has been extremely fun to watch thus far. Probably one of the most physical basketball games I\'ve seen in a while, I\'m waiting for fists to be thrown!
-
couldn\'t agree more, ant.. great game.. this bracket\'s already fuct for me.. go UW-MIL!!
-

I don\'t watch basketball, ever (this is the first time I have looked at this thread I think) but I was stuck in a laundromat watching the game last night and I must say, it was highly entertaining. The announcers were practically more excited than the players, lol.
-
(March) Madness rings loud through the air
-
so no one else had UWM over BC except me? c\'mon, that can\'t be right! I have them on both of my $20 sheets too, damn shame I had cuse on one of those too, the other one has potential.
Note: I only looked at a few of the other brackets cos I\'m lazy
-
I had Milwaukee beating Alabama, but I picked BC over Milwaukee. Nice call.
-
good call. I was thinking bigger today, ala Nevada over Illinois. . .
Eh, West Virginia over Wake Forest works too, I knew there would be something bigger today. I had used the scenario generator and could have finished in the top 3 by getting all 3 of my remaining final four teams in, but oh well, I resign. At least in my money pool I had WV over Wake. . .
-
I had Wake losing to Georgia Tech in the Elite 8. They’re my third Elite 8 team to bow out. And who cares? It was a classic contest.
-
Props to Mike for NC State over UConn. Luckily my money pool is based out of CT and Boston and BC and UConn are now out, which kills the majority of the entries (there is a 5% drawing for people who pick the winner, and more than 70 people had UConn last year).
-
i too had NC State over UConn.. looks like you CT folks will only have the best band in the country this year.
-
It was obvious all along that Connecticut was a paper second seed and today\'s game verified that. I\'m surprised N. C. State pulled themselves together after it looked like they had completely folded. Go St. John\'s!
-
completely gave up on my tournament selections some time yesterday!
very nice march madness happening...
-
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Pack! Next round should be a bit easier than UCONN, setting up a big game with Carolina!!
-
Georgia Tech took a hike and so will I. Great weekend.
-
hhhmmmmm....notice who\'s leading now!!!!
-
The current overall leader on Yahoo picked 15 out of the sweet 16 (missing only Arizona) and is holding down 2 completely perfect regions. That is so sick.
-
yeah it looks nice, but if you think about the fact that it\'s free, and someone could essentially fill out tons of brackets so they could brag about how well they did, it kinda loses its lustre.. granted there\'s tons of possibilities, but i\'d be more impressed if these things cost money..
-

a very good point!
-
1800 for first place in my money pool this year, I\'m currently in 2nd place with 51 out of 64 possible points, only one behind the leader. Everyones job who is out of the running for this pool, route for lousiville and duke to get to the final game, and Ill buy ya a drink when I see ya!
-
not for all the harpoons in the world could i cheer for Duke
-
I hate Duke and all the pompous jerks who go/went there. A buddy of mine\'s brother-in-law went there and he has a hand stitched throw pillow that says "It\'s Hard To Be Humble When You Graduated From Duke" I pee\'d on it.....well I didnt but Billy Chags (slimpickens) pee\'d on his carpet.....
FUCK DUKE
-
I PEED ON IT... HAHAHAHHA priceless

so what does the winner get this year? i told my brother about the pool and he filled out a bracket, hes been to a couple of breakfast shows but hes not into them that much, he likes the new cd though, anyways he is leading the pool and he thinks he should get something if he wins. i checked it out hte he has Illnois winning the championship and the guy who is tied with him has unc,
-
uhhhh....respect from 25 strangers???

the guy who is tied with him would like to remind him that he ain\'t won nothin\' yet!! check that out!!
-
So very true, but I would like to see Illinois win over North Carolina because that would make me finish 3rd, which would be a moral victory for myself because I gave up on my bracket after all the upsets on day 2 of the tourney.
-
Go Tar Heels bitches!!
-
Overall Yahoo leader:
14 out of Sweet 16
Perfect Elite Eight
Perfect Final Four...
I guess with 850,000 brackets that somebody is bound to do this, but that is still some sick pickin. I hope that dude is in a very expensive pool!
-
North Carolina 88, Illinois 84

UNC Victory = $150 from my hall pool, bragging rights amongst the .INFOers
