I met a woman from Carrboro today

I tried to tell her that I’d been there recently, and eaten at a nice burrito place. She just kind of stared at me blankly and went away as fast as she could.

They were good burritos, though.

He wants to lose

He picked KSU tonight, and Baylor for his irrelevant pick tomorrow

i totally forgot in the exciting buildup to yacht rock tonight

As stated above I’ll take KSU tonight and Duke tomorrow since I already picked Baylor.

And it was fantastic.

My friend's classmate from college fronts a Yacht Rock cover band in Chicago

Without having heard either band, I guarantee 100% that they are better than Sexfist.

And now I’m off to listen to “Hold the Line.”

You think we’ll need a thread once the UK game hits?

I'm gonna be gone the next 3 days

So give me Duke for tomorrow, Butler for Saturday, and Ohio State for Sunday assuming they’re still in.

K, here's where we are...

Chesire Cat’s in and can win with wins by Purdue and Northern Iowa. And should Brumfield and/or andromache advance, theyd both be left with only UK tomorrow.

Alway the optimist...I like your think kid...

by boobs on Mar 26, 2010 10:18 PM EDT reply actions  

everyone moves on.

andromache and brumfield take UK. what else?

Alway the optimist...I like your think kid...

by boobs on Mar 27, 2010 12:15 AM EDT up reply actions  

everyone has wasted Kansas State

that means the remaining contestants can take only Butler or UK (or West Virginia) for Saturday.

butler

and then you'd only have kentucky left

seven of your eight picks all made the elite eight. poor planning on your part!

Alway the optimist...I like your think kid...

by boobs on Mar 27, 2010 2:59 PM EDT up reply actions  

good planning because i stayed alive in the knockout pool

if by some miracle butler wins tonight, and tennessee makes the final four, I will not make a pick next weekend. i refuse to pick Kentucky because I’m afraid i’ll jinx them.

by 'tHan on Mar 27, 2010 3:01 PM EDT up reply actions  

that doesnt sound like a winning strategy

I'd say you dodged the bullet on that pick, tHan

that's fine

tennessee should win tomorrow. they won’t, because they have bruce pearl and mich st. tom izzo, but Tennessee is the better team.

by 'tHan on Mar 27, 2010 2:59 PM EDT up reply actions  

Duke Sunday for me

we’re going to have a 4 way tie, aren’t we?

We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come here.

well that sucked

Dwire takes Baylor, and tHan takes Tennessee. OBC, who started playing as a joke, is also left and can choose anyone but Duke. But in the case that everyone loses, I need you to pick the winner AND score of the other game, for tiebreaking purposes. We’ll do this every round there is more than one person left.

So I need tHan’s pick for the Duke game, with score. I’ll find out dwire’s. and I need obc’s pick for the game OTHER than one he chooses.

by boobs on Mar 27, 2010 10:13 PM EDT reply actions  

UT

anyone who can defeat Ohio deserves a Final Four berth.

I’m tempted to pick Baylor in an upset but I think their D is a little too porous. Duke will be able to get really good looks and the only way they go down is if they go ice cold for an extended period of time from the floor. I don’t think that’s too likely.

Duke 77-71

its pretty much over

unless duke wins and one of you guys is closer than 5 points to the final score.

Uh, didn't obc pick UT?

And didn’t they lose 70-69 to Michigan State?

I’m so confused.

I nominate this

For comment of the offseason.

I have a new signature. As soon as I get to the one computer I (semi) know how to operate.

Are we just choosing between the Reds and their opponents?

Or from other games as well? hmm?
