The lower half of that bracket, where BYU is 3 and Florida 2 is the key to many a bracket pool. Not sure I could argue if you wanted to tell me ANY of those 8 teams were going to get to the elite 8. Some have a better chance, but not by much.

^^^^Nails it as usual...

Whole Southeast is nutz, Utah State, Wofford, Old D, Wiscy, K State, Zaga, MSU, UCLA, BYU FLA, & Pitt are all capable of making a deep run...

It happens. How about when you're home next week we do a $20 Sweet 16 bracket?

$20, 8 guys, blind draw. You draw a team from the left side and a team from the right so you have two teams and two chances.

Winner take all.

Nice to have a little action on the remainder of the tourney. ;-) ;) :wink:

Kentucky doesn't worry me. They're undisciplined, poorly coached, and inexperienced. Athleticism aside, OSU is far superior.

Hope yer right, bud...

Startin to feel like '91 all over again when the Fab Fin came in and beat an experienced Buckeye squad...

I repeat, I DON'T WANT TO FACE THIS TEAM...

(hmmm, maybe they won't, it'll be Mason? :hide:

by **peeker643** » Sat Mar 19, 2011 7:26 pm

I'm with Tripods.

If Craft stays out of early foul trouble Bucks beat the Wildcats by 10.

I also think Buckeyes beat G. Mason by double digits but not before they experience some tense moments.

After watching Mason yesterday, not really worried about any matchup problems tomorrow...

I'll see your Craft PF's and raise you a Lighty, Buford, Sully & Diebler...

BTW, anybody hear anything about Dieb's update with his hand???

We have our eight. $25 each and I will draw the teams blindly so that you get one team from each side of the bracket so that you can't eliminate your own team in the Sweet 16.

I'll have Wabo get with me and we'll pull the teams just I'm not the only person handling the draw.

Wabo will be okay with that as it will require us to meet at Cornerstone or some place for a beer or three.

Maybe I'll have JTA up there as a witness as well.

But can we PLEASE stop taking CSU seriously? Did they really draw 2,000 Saturday while they got waxed by Bobby and crue?

They can't draw when they're legitimately good.

Norris Cole is legitimately good. No fucking help from Harmon and Montgomery for the last few weeks of the season.

They're no different than Kent and Akron to me though.

Speaking of Kent and CSU, if I'm Gary Waters I'm looking hard for decent spots to ply my craft this spring and summer.

Just do not believe you can draw anyone down to CSU in terms of enough fans or enough players.

Thought of something like that (which I may still have to resort to depending on scheduling issues). Just don't want any hint of impropriety being thrown about when I end up with Kansas and OSU and Wabo ends up with Richmond and Marquette. ;-) ;) :wink:

When money is involved I want someone seeing what the computer spits out if at all possible. Although I'd trust anyone in this group implicitly. Hell, three of us (at least me, jta and comish) are bald and bald guys are always above board.

I think you can enter peoples email addresses and the site just emails out the results to everyone. Totally on the up and up. Way more so than you Geauga county hicks getting liquored up and doing it. :lmfao:

And if anyone of the participants knows how to use that thing to pick a team for each guy from each side of the bracket let them step forward.

I know it generates numbers. And numbers are loosely connected to math. And math scares me.

Still.

See what I mean? Someone's gonna bitch. I'd almost be willing to take Marquette and Richmond as my own just to keep your cake holes closed.

But I won't.

ETA- OOOH... let's film it. Me, Wabo and JTA will meet before the first Thursday game and put it up on the net. Anyone have a camera that will get the job done?

Here's what I will do:

I will generate (using Rich's http://www.random.org/sequences/ ) random numbers 1-8 for the following:

Rich
Wabo
Comish
JTA
Matt
Mother
Furls
Peeker

That will be your number

Then I'll do the same thing for the left side of the bracket going down:

Ohio St
Kentucky
Marquette
N Carolina
Duke
Arizona
UConn
SD State

Then the same for right side:

Kansas
Richmond
VCU
Fla St
Butler
Wis
BYU
FLA

Take the number assigned to you and match it with the number for each side of bracket and those are your two teams.

I'll try and use Snag-it to show my work.

I have the 10 yr old's indoor soccer championship at 5pm tomorrow and then have to have middle girl to her choir performance by 630pm so I'm not gonna be able to do it after work. Might meet Wabo for lunch so there is a witness. :thumb up:

by **peeker643** » Thu Mar 24, 2011 10:39 am

It's time stamped. ;-) ;) :wink:

Rich 1
Wabo 4
Comish 6
JTA 3
Matt 5
Mother 2
Furls 8
Peeker 7

by **peeker643** » Thu Mar 24, 2011 10:42 am

Left Side of Bracket

Ohio St 5
Kentucky 6
Marquette 3
N Carolina 7
Duke 4
Arizona 1
UConn 2

by **waborat** » Thu Mar 24, 2011 10:45 am

You're trustworthy, just pick the effers...

As long as you don't end up with OSU, UNC, Duke, Kansas, UConn, Wisky or FLA, we'll believe ya ;-) ;) :wink:

by **peeker643** » Thu Mar 24, 2011 10:46 am

Fuck. I just read the draw now. Kinda glad I didn't know I had the Bucks 3 hours ago - not that it could have been any worse.

But rarely with less fun. Where am I sending the dinero?

If UConn wins this whole thing, is it the greatest March run ever?

I guess if you don't win it you're forgotten along the way, but if someone can name me a better run as it stands today I'd like to hear it.

Amazing run.

Only thing going against them is a week off to slow their roll.
