Title: NCAA tourney
Post by: ben on March 20, 2008, 10:54:09 PM: Some of you guys have to be following this, if just for an office pool if nothing else. I know it's the first day is almost over, but who do you think is going to win, or else who do you want to win? UCLA gonna and wisconsin wanna for me

Post by: bruce on March 20, 2008, 11:16:34 PM: To be honest I don't pay attention till the Sweet 16 then I make picks. Since its like chum day the first day or two - lambs to the slaughter. Always hoping for a really great upset though. Plus Providence has not been in it for years. Yeah I'm a homer when it comes to NCAA its not like URI is any better.

Post by: ben on March 21, 2008, 01:12:25 AM: nice work dave. my selections are based as much on who i want to lose as they are on who i think will win. so my bracket is already busted. i guess spite is not a good tool for prediction

Really? That never happens when MN is in the tourney. They don't cut away at all. Although my memory may be hazy since it's been awhile.

I had two brackets in a pool with about 250-300 entrants at 10 bucks a pop. I now have one now that I can cross UConn off all the way to the championship game. UCLA has a very easy road now.

Post by: dave from knoxville on March 22, 2008, 07:51:02 AM: Hey Josh, if that fixed my pics, you had as bad a say as me. I had 6 misses in 16 games, and lost 2 of my sweet sixteen teams (Clemson and Drake)
Title: Re: NCAA tourney
Post by: buffcoat on March 22, 2008, 12:07:04 PM: I was at the tourney games in Raleigh. They won't show other sites's games there, so the only way to see them was on a 19" screen above the snack bar. There were about 60 people gathered around watching Drake-WKU overtime. With 25 seconds left, they cut to the tip of the S. Alabama-Butler game. So we all listened to some guy whose girlfriend put her cell phone up to the tv.

March Madness.

Post by: samir on March 23, 2008, 06:10:14 PM: I saw grown men cry last night when UCLA nearly lost it.
They were crying out of the other side of their face at the end of course.
I don't know what that last sentence means.
