Title: So who's brackets are totally screwed?
Post by: primushead on Mar 28, 2006, 02:11 PM
The NCAA Final Four....UCLA, LSU, GM, and Florida.  Did ANYONE in the country pick a final four like this?  I know I didn't, and the office poole (or is it pool?) I entered is totally down the drain.  

How'd everyone else do? :)

I saw an article today that of all the online brackets there were 4 people who picked the final four teams.  I sadly was not one of them.

More like: Did anyone in North America pick a Final Four like this? No one north of your country picked this messed-up Final Four other than a few fans of the big school teams... and I doubt there are any real George Mason fans in Canada. If there are, they are liars.

I can't do those bracket pools anymore. The last (and first) one I did was 4 years ago. I had Duke going to the Final 4, however, I found myself rooting against Duke and rooting for whoever they were playing. It got confusing, b/c a small part of me wouldn't mind Duke winning, but a big part of me wanted Duke to lose.

Like this year, I would have probably picked U Conn for the Final 4, but, I really enjoyed rooting for George Mason to beat them on Sunday.

The bracket pool is a conflict of interest with me.

Oh yeah,  GEAUX TIGERS!

Yeah, I think I'll pull for LSU now since they took down Duke.

I did have LSU & FLordia in the Final 4 (gotta support the SEC, even if UK didn't make it), but I picked Gonzaga to go all the way :-/

Go George Mason!

Way to go Tundra! That's pretty damn good to predict half of the Final Four.  A lot better than most people did this year. I read in the paper today that  UCLA at #19 was the only team ranked in the pre-season top 25 in the Final Four. I'm also pulling for the George Mason since my picks fell apart.

Its just a tournament where each loser is elimated.
Just take a bunch of teams on Side A  and a bunch of teams on side B.  Side A  fights eachtoher, while Side B fights each other until there is only one left for each Side.  when only one is left from Side A and Side B, those 2 face off for the final game.

make any sense?

Did a March Madness pool picking the teams through out the tounery.  54 people entered and it is already over due to the upsets and such.  I finished 2nd.  Would have rather finished last than 2nd.  Oh well.....
