That reminds me, and I should post this before I am totally out of the running come this afternoon, but what is the pay out?  Winner take all?  Thats what I think...

I just put a post on yahoo, unless the majority disagrees, I think $120 for the winner, $40 for 2nd is good.

Better to post if you are cool with that or not on yahoo than here because theres some people in the pool who arent on the forum.

That seems good to me!  Usually after today or tomorrow I don't even check the standings anymore, but you never know.  If Gonzaga and Georgetown make the finals with Gonzaga winning I got this thing in the bag!

That payout is fine by me. I would've done two brackets but I'm also in a couple of other pools.

Crispy going against the Alma Mater, and hometown Cowboys :shocked: WTF?? I don't think I could do that. Probably why I don't gamble on sports all that much. I have a hard time betting with my head, and not my heart.  :grin:

(Helluva pick btw)  :wink:  :beer:

I know, it hurt, but I know too much about my team and how they've been playing (shitty), and that Oregon as a 12 seed is ridiculous. Add in the travel comparison and Oregon's crowd advantage, and it was a pretty easy call. I should have gotten Davidson too, but they blew it!

You know I have a spreadsheet that compiles all that shit for me, right?  :thumbsup:

God damn Harvard...How does an ivy league team look more athletic than a 3 seed?! I think everyone got fucked by Harvard, but still, my mind hurts..

if I knew white wristband asshole on NM was stiill on the team, I may have picked otherwise

Yeah. I'd imagine the Crimson screwed up a hell of a lot of brackets nationwide.  Thankfully I only had NM winning one more game so Harvard upsetting them shouldn't hurt too bad. Now if they go on to win two more, I'm screwed!

I say if anyone picked Harvard, they should win right now.  Just give them the money.

Ouch, that sucks! 

Don't feel too bad  though, last year all my brackets got blown up in the rd of 64 when both Duke, and Missouri lost to #15 seeds. Talk  about shitty picks..... I had Missouri reaching the championship game.  :grin:  I didn't  even make it to the 1st friggin weekend with any hope.

But I felt so smart after picking against my own school!  :tongue:  I still have a decent chance depending on who gets to the final four and the championship, so I'm not REALLY tearing it up.

Also, nice pick with them Bears.  :thumbsup:

Thanks Crispy.  :thumbsup: it seems every year the 12/5  matchup is good for upsets. I got lucky and picked the right ones yesterday.  :wink:  felt pretty confident that VCU wouldn't be one of the 5's to get upset, but not as confident about my Wisconsin pick today. Here's hoping Ole Miss shot their load in the SEC tourney.

Nah, even though I had the winner of this winning another game, I was flip flopping this pick more than any other. I just ended up going  with Wisconsin because of how good I thought the Biig 10 was, and figured already taking two 12's over 5's was pushing it as it was. :grin:

Hell, I'm a NY Giant fan. How could I not be a fan of Ole Miss? :wink:

Saw Wisky losing early coming. Had Ole Miss in 1 bracket, Wisky only winning 1 game in the other. Now if K-State cant pull off a comeback vs LaSalle, it doesnt really matter anyway.

I like that all this makes it look like a Zags Final 4 run is easier though.
