not as much interest I expected, but hey, the seven of us will have a go at it.

National Champion Picks:
Connecitcut - 3 peoples
Stanford - 1
Oklahoma State - 1
Kentucky - 1
Pittsburgh - 1

Didnt really check anyones picks except the final fours, surprised to see so many North Carolinas in there (myself included)

Anyone else playing hooky from work to watch games?

antbach · « **Reply #18 on:** March 18, 2004, 01:11:01 pm »

nope, get out in 45 minutes, then skipping class to watch games/sleep since I didnt get much sleep last night and had a helluva lot of whiskey. btw Leith, Dark Star was phenomenal.

Goddam manhattan...

I wanted to take Manhattan because picking against the Gators has been the easiest thing to do for 4 years running..they are the new Kansas. If Florida was playing anyone else I woulda picked against them, but I saw Manhattan\'s first round game last year against Oklahoma State and the Jaspers didn\'t even put up a fight, so couldn\'t take them. Oh well. I had Florida losing in round 2, so no big loss there.

Yea, thats just a rough estimate, I wont know the exact figures until Monday when the guy sends us all the scores and money breakdown. But it\'s $20 a pop and two offices (North Haven and Boston), so it\'s usually like 200+ people in it. Last year top 6 got $$$, first place was like $1350 or something, I finished 7th, lol.

Caution: First-round victories do not ensure future success!

I\'ve run a lot of pools, and having the lead at the end of the first weekend is meaningless. Just about everyone has an equal shot after the first 2 rounds, unless your champion got knocked out. Your big picks must still come through! 19/20 is pretty impressive though. I got Pacific today.
