Vanderbilt and New Mexico through and I go to 6/8. Have Kentucky, Wichita State, Zags and Baylor in the next 4(all favorites). Baylor and Wichita State need to wake up. I have them in Sweet 16 and Elite 8 respectively.
meh day for me...my dog picks lost and didnt have the winning dogs; lost one rd 2 team (Wich ST) but had them going out next rd so thats not too bad all in all
SGT RJ youre looking tough so far!
Cant believe 2 other Pokercasters hung in there w me w Syracuse to win given the FabMelo flop....we're definitely dogs in this one right now....
lots of tough picks today.....
RenoDoc: Im watching old WSOP/ESPNs right now....your clip is still just an all-timer :P
Oh I heard a mention that Obama's bracket was tight today - I think its almost US law that he has to pick chalk...if he picks a dog then there is a Congressional inquiry if they win.....
Please believe that any success I might have with a bracket is like the success one of those school picking chickens. Other than March Madness, I watch like 2 college basketball games all year, then I throw darts (except picking the high seeds to make in through to the Sweet 16 at least).
The only real "research" I do is try to find the 4/13 and 5/12 upset(s) of the year. And since there's one or two ever year, I read ESPN to try to see which one is most likely and take that game. Which is why I had VCU yesterday, and why I have Belmont advancing today.
Actually I think I have Belmont as this year's shocker team, getting to either the Sweet 16 or the Elite 8 (16, IIRC). Why Belmont? Only the chicken knows.
Had my picks done in time but didn't finish the listening to the show until after the games started so couldn't join. The group locks at the time of the first game on Thursday which is less than 24 hours after the show can be downloaded.
Off to a horrible 0-3 start. WTF Aabama, Texas and Belmont. And looking at partials, I'm in for a horrible day. If Florida State loses to St. Bonaventure I'm done.
It cracks me up how into it girls are this year. I have my girlfriend being like did you see what happened in the Marquette game? Or a random girl at work being like yeah I was going to pick Lehigh, Duke's offense depends too much on the three...I didn't even fill out a bracket!
Good news - Went 7-1 yesterday
Bad news - I can go, at best, 5-3 today
Variance - Lost 3 of my Sweet 16 yesterday (and one of my finalist), but I assume pretty much EVERYONE was hurt a little by the Mizzou/Duke losses.
