Gave half a thought to going out for a few after work...figured, nah..beers are cheaper here and I have 3 TVs rolling in the home bar

Great start to the Madness...even if my bracket is painful so far

Like Wisconsin -4.5 and Wofford +8.5 in the 7 PM games. Also the over 10 Guinnesses for me today. Gonna parlay that with over 2.5 fight w my wife.

by **Ziner** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 7:01 pm

Ziner's brackets request that Richmond pulls this out.

Also have Wofford. Have a .5 unit bet on their ML too.

4/5 on the bracket so far, but Louisville was a Sweet 16 team for me.

by **Ziner** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 7:05 pm

They have talked about the elevation a couple times. I think that Louisville/Morehead game was really effected by it. I have always been curious how much it effects people who are in really good shape. I thought I was until I moved here. Ran a half marathon in Chicago before we came and finished it strong. Moved out here took all I had to run a mile. You'd think it would slow down each team equally, but it is interesting.

by **swerb** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 7:06 pm

I've hit everything I bet today and in my general brackets except Louisville. Also had Louisville in the Final Four of a few brackets. Good thing I filled out 16 of them.

Big guy from More Head State is a playa. Effin Pitino ... such a perennial underachiever. Dude hasn't done shit since he left UK.

Can you pluralize Guinness? And how did you drink 10 of them?

Brackets ok, Pitino helped me out, kinda buzzed, need more though.

And yeah I need the Spiders to beat the Commodores.

SDSU decided to turn it on now.

CDT I went with the lager swill today, partly in your honor.

I will call Swerb's 10 guinesseseseses's and raise him 3 guinesseseseses and a 12'er of Harp.

CDT it is to you

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 7:16 pm

Oh wow, you are drunk.

Guinnesi?

Why wouldn't I? I work from home, I despise it. Hit the gym up for the WVU game and have boozin' since I got back. Sorta makes up for the other days that suck ass.

OMG my TBS feed just went out......

Called it on the body contact.

Does anyone actually go to Applebees? I am not sure I have ever ate there. Chili's is the king of chain restaurants. Lived off the bottomless chips and salsa during spring break one year.

Go to Applebee's all the time after sporting events. $4.50 appetizers after 10 pm. Chicken quesadillas, sliders, or boneless wings are all worth it.

Chili's is very good also. Their service is horrible, though.

Wasn't saying anything about the call. Telling you why it was called.

Vandy needs to go to the rack. Don't need a 3.

by **skatingtripods** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 7:31 pm

That was a horrible set out of a time out. Awful.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 7:32 pm

Did you hear that?

That was the sound of Maker's Mark being cracked open.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 7:42 pm

Spiders wooooooooooooooo!

by **skatingtripods** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 7:46 pm

Favorites 3-5 ATS today. Wiseguys moved Louisville and Vandy lines and neither came close to covering.

by **swerb** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 7:48 pm

Every year in the brackets there's that one 5-12 game where everyone knows the #12 seed is gonna win. The #5 seed is usually some shitty school from the SEC too. All the people that pick no upsets in their bracket, this is the one game they pick as their "upset".

That was Vandy this year.

As good as they are in football, the SEC sucks balls as a basketball conference. UK almost got whacked by Princeton. Vandy gets bitch slapped by Richmond. Still don't know how UGA even got in the tournament, and I like Washington to smoke em like a cheap joint tomorrow night.

Could see West V rolling UK and Mich St beating Florida and the SEC being out of the tourney before the Sweet Sixteen starts.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 7:54 pm

You got MSU over UCLA too.

I just can't bet against Izzo in the tourney.

by **swerb** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 7:57 pm

I know ... especially since it's really the same team as last year, except Korey Lucious. They didn't even have Kalin Lucas for the ass end of their Final Four run last year either.

Them and Butler, two very dangerous lower seeds. In the shittiest bracket too. Anything can happen in that bracket.

by **4thQtrGlory** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 8:18 pm

First of all, yes im alive...second of all, how come ive only lost one game today and i already feel like my bracket is trashed?! Louisville upsetting Kansas was the worst sober decision of the year.

Bad news for you is we seem to be like minded on the 3rd wave games....sorry bud :hic:

What was the worst drunk decision of the year?

by **Ziner** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 8:51 pm

The Mormons are looking like heavy favorites to fuck my bracket.

by **Ziner** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 8:52 pm

So Jimmer's brother is an aspiring rap artist. Clearly.

I heard that too. A Mormon rapper is funny on so many levels.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 9:08 pm

If Wisco goes cold from behind the arc....... they're fucked.

by **Cerebral_DownTime** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 9:32 pm

OT: Wbns 10tv is saying the NCAA upheld the 5 game suspension for the Tatgate thing.

FWIW.

by **swerb** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 9:47 pm

Tonight ...

Mich St -1
St Johns -1
K St -2
Mizzou +1

Four great games. All basically pick ems. Great nightcapper.

by **swerb** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 9:49 pm

This Dahlman kid for Wofford is a helluva player. Like him and Jimmer playing one on one.

by **Ziner** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 9:51 pm

Anyone know what states Wofford or Belmont are in with out looking it up?

I had no clue.

Georgia and South Carolina?

by **swerb** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 10:10 pm

Announcer just said Belmont is on the outskirts of Nashville. Herbstreit's prolly pulling for em hard.

by **skatingtripods** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 10:11 pm

Wofford was an ill-advised six school shootout pick. :pb:

Nothing like a 0-11 streak from the field late in the second half to suck the life out of your season.

by **Ziner** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 10:21 pm

Wofford is in SC, outside Spartanburg

by **skatingtripods** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 10:24 pm

Holy shit. Best backdoor cover ever!

by **swerb** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 10:24 pm

Ha Ha!!!!! Meaningless THREEEEEE at the buzzer for the back door cover (+8.5) for Wofford!

One of the greatest feelings in all of sports betting.

That is excellent.

by **comish** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 10:25 pm

BACK DOOR COVER WOFFORD WOOOOOOOOOOOOO :woot:

by **swerb** » Thu Mar 17, 2011 10:27 pm

The fuckin Jimmer left the back door open with his 45 foot three with 10 seconds left. Wofford walked right in. Outstanding.

Leave it to a sex-starved Mormon to not know anything about the back door.
