I'm down, even though I haven't kept up with any college basketball except when UT loses to some shitty team.

― Pwnjabi MC (Matt Chesnut), Saturday, 11 March 2006 17:01 (nineteen years ago)

I'm not doing it this year, I have no cluez

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Saturday, 11 March 2006 19:20 (nineteen years ago)

I call bullshit, surely you've paid more attention than me!

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 12 March 2006 13:29 (nineteen years ago)

― David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 13 March 2006 03:42 (nineteen years ago)

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Monday, 13 March 2006 13:52 (nineteen years ago)

i'm in.

― hstencil (hstencil), Monday, 13 March 2006 15:40 (nineteen years ago)

oh god I've succumbed to peer pressure. but if I can't make confident picks I will probably delete my team. I haven't even looked at the bracket yet.

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Monday, 13 March 2006 17:43 (nineteen years ago)

Making tourney picks in a no-cash pool means never having to regret your picks.

― David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 13 March 2006 17:44 (nineteen years ago)

Easy for you to say; I've finished #15 in this two years in a row!

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Monday, 13 March 2006 18:09 (nineteen years ago)

make a new yahoo id if you're so concerned about your ranking!

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 13 March 2006 20:15 (nineteen years ago)

I shall do as I please, woman.

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Monday, 13 March 2006 20:23 (nineteen years ago)

oh snap

― David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 13 March 2006 20:24 (nineteen years ago)

Our friend's husband, who is from France, said that quote once when she was trying to micro-manage his brunch menu selection. We roffled for hours.

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Monday, 13 March 2006 21:05 (nineteen years ago)

I have filled out my bracket. 100% guesswork and safe picks, because I haven't watched a minute of college basketball.

Final Four: Duke v. Memphis, UConn v. BC
Championship: UConn v. Memphis
Champion: UConn

― Erick Dampier is better than Shaq (miloaukerman), Monday, 13 March 2006 22:44 (nineteen years ago)

arrghhh. last minute changes will probably cost me...

― my name is john. i reside in chicago. (frankE), Thursday, 16 March 2006 17:00 (nineteen years ago)

my crazy bold final four: uconn, memphis, nova, texas (my cinderella pick)

― j blount (papa la bas), Thursday, 16 March 2006 17:19 (nineteen years ago)

me: Texas, Memphis, Connecticut, Boston College

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Thursday, 16 March 2006 18:30 (nineteen years ago)

seton hall's inability to get an offensive rebound is about to destroy my oakland bracket.

― my name is john. i reside in chicago. (frankE), Thursday, 16 March 2006 18:52 (nineteen years ago)

I've got nova in the final four and this bomb threat is gonna rattle them!

well maybe not losing in the first round rattle but still.

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 16 March 2006 19:15 (nineteen years ago)

seton hall's inability to get an offensive rebound is about to destroy my ~~oakland~~ DC bracket.

― my name is john. i reside in chicago. (frankE), Thursday, 16 March 2006 19:18 (nineteen years ago)

omg pacific.

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 16 March 2006 19:45 (nineteen years ago)

I had Duke, UConn, Gonzaga (uhh) and BC. BC, you assholes.

― Pwnjabi MC (Matt Chesnut), Thursday, 16 March 2006 19:59 (nineteen years ago)

I have kansas, conn, duke and villa. still hope for bc now!

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 16 March 2006 20:09 (nineteen years ago)

UConn, Duke, Ohio State, Gonzaga

too may people fell in love with BC, I think. but I sure as heck want them to win here. this BC/Pacific game is unreal. I'm nearly 0-3 on the day. WTF?

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Thursday, 16 March 2006 20:10 (nineteen years ago)

as soon as I that tho, BC just takes over. ahhh, can breathe easy..

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Thursday, 16 March 2006 20:15 (nineteen years ago)

why is it that when a game involving an SEC team comes on, i lose all interest in the tournament?

― my name is john. i reside in chicago. (frankE), Thursday, 16 March 2006 20:24 (nineteen years ago)

3-0!

― mookiepr00f, Thursday, 16 March 2006 20:34 (nineteen years ago)

my friend emails me to say "dude you just dodged a bullet there" [with BC], I'm like NO SHIT

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Thursday, 16 March 2006 21:14 (nineteen years ago)

Hurray Bama, I might pull even today.

― Pwnjabi MC (Matt Chesnut), Thursday, 16 March 2006 21:23 (nineteen years ago)

i'm going to the sweet sixteen games in atlanta next thursday - i'll be the dude booing the fuck out of duke.

― j blount (papa la bas), Thursday, 16 March 2006 21:24 (nineteen years ago)

i have Bama too but aaaarggh the local CBS station switched to Tennessee-Winthrop (which is fine -- great game!) after Bama took control in the first half, but now stupid CBS Sportsline won't let me watch the Bama/Marquette game online because "my local affiliate is carrying it." dumbasses.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Thursday, 16 March 2006 22:06 (nineteen years ago)

i'm going to the sweet sixteen games in atlanta next thursday - i'll be the dude booing the fuck out of duke.

So YOU'RE the one!

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 16 March 2006 22:07 (nineteen years ago)

Best be careful, Dick Vitale's posse will take you out.

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Thursday, 16 March 2006 22:18 (nineteen years ago)

holy shit Tennessee!! impossibel shot!!

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Thursday, 16 March 2006 22:22 (nineteen years ago)

jesus, I haven't even been paying attention to Bama and now they're DOWN?!?

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Thursday, 16 March 2006 22:26 (nineteen years ago)

Jerry McNamara: Overrated or REALLY Overrated?

― Pwnjabi MC (Matt Chesnut), Friday, 17 March 2006 04:54 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, Iowa. The non-bracket-game-playing me loves that Texas has an easier road to the elite 8, but the one that anticipated Texas losing to Iowa is totally fucked over.

― Pwnjabi MC (Matt Chesnut), Friday, 17 March 2006 19:41 (nineteen years ago)

kansas's loss is a direct result of me putting them in my final four; a mizzou grad should know better. :( Oh well, I'll enjoy my one shining moment atop the fantasy rankings.

― teeny (teeny), Saturday, 18 March 2006 15:24 (nineteen years ago)

All my elite eight teams are still alive, which is all you can ask.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Saturday, 18 March 2006 22:21 (nineteen years ago)

not the case here (thx GEORGE MASON)

― j blount (papa la bas), Saturday, 18 March 2006 22:26 (nineteen years ago)

6 of 8, fuck you Iowa and Okla-homo.

― Erick Dampier is better than Shaq (miloaukerman), Sunday, 19 March 2006 05:32 (nineteen years ago)

Okla-homo

Sub-Bayless at best.

― David R. (popshots75`), Sunday, 19 March 2006 08:13 (nineteen years ago)

I would have accepted Joke-lahoma.

It should be noted that among the two overall leaders, one is named "Jay Hawks? More Like Gay Hawks."

― Pwnjabi MC (Matt Chesnut), Sunday, 19 March 2006 17:49 (nineteen years ago)

Okla-pomo

― j blount (papa la bas), Sunday, 19 March 2006 20:57 (nineteen years ago)

more like sub-Ade-Langston

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Sunday, 19 March 2006 21:54 (nineteen years ago)

Well I'm down to 6 of 8 since that post. Ohio State and North Carolina dropped me into mediocrity.

But I still have all my final four teams!

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Monday, 20 March 2006 08:30 (nineteen years ago)

STOKED FOR GEORGE MASON-WICHITA STATE!

― j blount (papa la bas), Monday, 20 March 2006 15:51 (nineteen years ago)

I didn't put George Mason on my bracket because I thought he had perished bravely by flying that nuclear weapon into the desert in Season 2 har har

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Monday, 20 March 2006 18:08 (nineteen years ago)

DAMN IT!

― David R. (popshots75`), Monday, 20 March 2006 18:23 (nineteen years ago)

HOW IS THIS THREAD NOT CRAZY INSANE WITH MARCH MADNESS???

― j blount (papa la bas), Monday, 20 March 2006 23:24 (nineteen years ago)

MICHIGAN VS. NOTRE DAME IN THE NIT -- I GOT YOUR INSANITY RIGHT HERE!!! GREAT GAME!

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Tuesday, 21 March 2006 02:03 (nineteen years ago)

Ding dong Duke is dead!!! Duke is dead!!

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Friday, 24 March 2006 03:13 (nineteen years ago)

whoopee! and i picked it!

― Sym Sym (sym), Friday, 24 March 2006 03:34 (nineteen years ago)

My bracket says boooo, but I say yaayyy.

― Pwnjabi MC (Matt Chesnut), Friday, 24 March 2006 03:48 (nineteen years ago)

the only tragedy of depantsing of duke is that i didn't get to see it.

― my name is john. i reside in chicago. (frankE), Friday, 24 March 2006 03:49 (nineteen years ago)

I missed picking the Duke bounce correctly by one round. Dagnabit.

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 24 March 2006 04:59 (nineteen years ago)

unbelievable!

― my name is john. i reside in chicago. (frankE), Friday, 24 March 2006 05:29 (nineteen years ago)

we left the texas-wvu game at halftime :(

― j blount (papa la bas), Friday, 24 March 2006 07:30 (nineteen years ago)

partly at my instigation too ("this game's OVER - we can make it back to athens well before last call - yall wanna split?"). long ride home. :( :( :(

― j blount (papa la bas), Friday, 24 March 2006 07:33 (nineteen years ago)

well at least your bracket's great

― Sym Sym (sym), Friday, 24 March 2006 07:42 (nineteen years ago)

That was the awesomest day of basketball.

All my picks were right today!

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Friday, 24 March 2006 08:31 (nineteen years ago)

homoriety is mine at last!

these games have been amazing.

MAYDAY MAYDAY

UCONN IS IN TROUBLE!!!!!!

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Sunday, 26 March 2006 20:39 (nineteen years ago)

INSANE

GEORGE MASON IS IN THE FINAL FOUR

― j blount (papa la bas), Sunday, 26 March 2006 21:10 (nineteen years ago)

DOGS, CATS LIVING TOGETHER

― j blount (papa la bas), Sunday, 26 March 2006 21:10 (nineteen years ago)

What the balls, everyone's brackets just exploded.

― Pwnjabi MC (Matt Chesnut), Sunday, 26 March 2006 21:12 (nineteen years ago)

simply one of the greatest things I've ever seen in my life

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Sunday, 26 March 2006 21:13 (nineteen years ago)

How many games this weekend have been decided within three points and/or have gone to overtime? All of them??

― Pwnjabi MC (Matt Chesnut), Sunday, 26 March 2006 21:18 (nineteen years ago)

Clearly, 2006 is "Best Tournament Ever" already. What's #2?

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Sunday, 26 March 2006 22:11 (nineteen years ago)

i think it's great mike davis was able to find a job with enterprise rent-a-car so quickly.

― my name is john. i reside in chicago. (frankE), Sunday, 26 March 2006 22:27 (nineteen years ago)

I seriously don't remember the last time I've been as excited about a basketball game since that George Mason-UConn match. Gotta admit that seeing Jim Calhoun's pouty face at the end made it all worthwhile.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Sunday, 26 March 2006 23:47 (nineteen years ago)

according to wikipedia it's been 31 years since there hasn't been a team from the Big Ten, Big East, Big 8/12 or ACC in the final four (though syracuse was in that year as an independent)

― my name is john. i reside in chicago. (frankE), Monday, 27 March 2006 00:59 (nineteen years ago)

so I'm gonna win this here pickem tournament if GMU can win one more. Otherwise, pleasant pains is going to win with his genius florida pick.

― Sym Sym (sym), Monday, 27 March 2006 03:03 (nineteen years ago)

check this shit out ... an actual real bracket where someone had GMU (and LSU and yoocla too!!)

actually, the yahoo leader picked all 4: http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/men/1143123

Clearly, 2006 is "Best Tournament Ever" already. What's #2?

I'd almost say 2005 is #2. So many OTs and 2OTs.

As much as I hate Florida (ahem Noah), it's good to see 2 SEC teams in the Final Four.

GMU has been amazing and really deserves to make some history.

― Polysix Bad Battery (cprek), Monday, 27 March 2006 14:51 (nineteen years ago)

During the Stanfurd/LSU women's game, there was an NCAA commercial with a blonde with a striking resemblence to Kirsten Dunst. I didn't catch her name -- anyone know who I'm talking about?

― c(''c) (Leee), Tuesday, 28 March 2006 02:56 (nineteen years ago)

No more George Mason. It was too bad, too, they were really hanging in there until Humphries started making threes in his sleep in the second half. From then on, they really came down to earth and it was as if the last few weekends never happened. Still, one of the more improbable sports stories in a while.

― Pwnjabi MC (Matt Chesnut), Sunday, 2 April 2006 00:24 (nineteen years ago)

it needs to be said: congratulations to the gutty young ucla bruins for putting the biggest final four asswhipping in recent memory on lsu last night. so beautiful.

― Pwnjabi MC (Matt Chesnut), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 03:51 (nineteen years ago)

Can we congratulate the Bruins for allowing Florida to whup on them like they whupped on LSU? Or should we just start a pool to buy Noah some hair conditioner?

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 12:14 (nineteen years ago)

Or maybe Steve Lavin can donate some pomade.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 12:15 (nineteen years ago)

all season i was saying 'o you don't have to worry about florida, they're not for real' and then of course they just roll thru the whole tourny. congrats gators.

Fuck this shit. Is anybody consistently good year-over-year at picking these fuckers or is it all pretty much random?
