March Madness

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
[quote author="skek" date=1237425873]Like No Other? Given that half of the people here picked Memphis, I assume you aren't talking about the uniqueness of your picks?</blockquote>


itsux2bu is an appropriate perennial winner?s handle.

Considering I was the only one in the IHB that served up the Final Four, Final Two and picked Kansas to win it all last year.

Take a look at that again, you had Xavier (what a joke!)

Looking to dominate the field once again, what's new?
 
I wasn't on the IHB at the time, but I picked 14 out of the Sweet 16, 8 for 8 on the Elite, 4 four 4 for the final four, 2 for 2 on the finals and didn't even need the winning game (although I picked it) to win. My winnings were handed over before tip off of the final game. Damn, I wish I could have bet that sheet in Vegas. I'm not real good at bragging because it was all pretty much luck and sticking with winners, but it sure was fun!
 
Look forward to competing against you this year.

I?ve already announced my picks, soon we?ll see where everyone else stands.

No luck involved, winning is part of my genetic code
 
[quote author="skek" date=1237423289]OK, my proposal for a side bet: the winner gets to select an avatar (family-friendly) that the last place finisher has to use for, say, a week? What do you think? Who doesn't want to force graph or vic or ten to use a big "I HEART PANDA" avatar for a week?</blockquote>


I can't decide which one works best for you...

I can't wait to see you posting about the stock market with Hannah Montana as your avatar. Hopefully you don't scare any of the newbies away.
 
Seeing as I didn't even know what march madness was before this thread I guess I should be looking forward to my new Avatar...

As long as Vic doesn't have a say in it I guess I should be ok...



But of course, if in the unlikely event that I win I will quickly edit this post to reflect the fact that I really know my Baseball...it *is* Baseball...right?
 
We have 12. I'm assuming usc just added, not sure by the name. Time is running out, join us! All picks must be in before 9:00 am tomorrow.

I'm in (under mmania001).

In the event of a tie, winner will be decided Dance Dance Revolution-style at Dave & Buster's.</blockquote>




Dude...*I* won't even play that game. I'm wondering if I should join you guys just to see what happens with totally random picks. Maybe I'll pick the teams with the prettiest names or cutest mascot or something like that.

Do it Cayci, it will be more interesting with you involved. :) It would be nice not to be left here with only guys :-/

This should be good. You should hear her thought process on picking teams. Who knew that the Demon Decons were cute, and Bernie the St. Bernard would be in the final four?



I just hope for the sake of all of us she doesn't win, because you will be stuck with this avatar for a week...

Although, it would be funny seeing Skek with it. No one, and I mean no one... would take his posts in the politics thread seriously for an entire week.

I've got Zippy The Kangeroo taking it all the way.

I'm impressed, way to step up and take Oklahoma.

I was rooting for Xavier, but I didn't pick them to win it last year. You'll see the winning picks, er, my picks, tomorrow morning. As mid-majors knock off major conference teams and the 5-12 upset delivers yet again, just remember Skek's Upset Special!</blockquote>


Who's the upset special Duke?

I just dont buy the whole UNC/UConn/Louis/Pitt craze. I think Blake G. is gonna rip it up in the tourny plus I had my dad bet $20 for them to win it all last week.
 
[quote author="skek" date=1237510171]Go CS Northridge! I think half of you are eliminated if CSN can pull off the (unlikely) upset.</blockquote>


Nice omen

Northridge played strong just ran out of gas.

Almost had to be rushed to the ER before Memphis pulled it out.

The Madness!
 
I have Joe Mama and Irvinian with no final game pick. What should we do about this, should we let them pick now, even though we've already started? I'm sure they thought they chose one of their two final teams, but I'm not sure how they missed filling in the most important spot. Please advise.
