and ouch, look at the west bracket. arizona, kansas, duke, illinois?

― phil-two (phil-two), Monday, 17 March 2003 04:59 (twenty-three years ago)

What's the group number?

― Chris P (Chris P), Monday, 17 March 2003 05:14 (twenty-three years ago)

Final Four: Wagner, Penn, Koozbane A&M, Independent Republic of Kurdistan

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Monday, 17 March 2003 13:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh whoops, I thought you only needed the group name..

I signed up.

― hstencil, Monday, 17 March 2003 16:01 (twenty-three years ago)

Koozbane A&M? Ha! With their 2-5 record againt RPI top-50 teams, and lack of quality road wins, they're lucky to have even MADE the tournament. puh-leeze

― phil-two (phil-two), Monday, 17 March 2003 16:07 (twenty-three years ago)

anybody else?

― phil-two (phil-two), Monday, 17 March 2003 18:35 (twenty-three years ago)

I'll join once I'm away from work ... though I haven't really followed it this year.

― zaxxon25 (zaxxon25), Monday, 17 March 2003 18:41 (twenty-three years ago)

I'll sign up later today when I've got time...

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 17 March 2003 18:42 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm in. It suxor that you can't see everyone else's picks until the deadline, tho.

(zaxxon: don't worry, neither have I; I do worse on the bracket the more I know.)

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 17 March 2003 18:42 (twenty-three years ago)

OK, I am on now. I love pick'em, even though I don't give a damn about basketball. I just love coming up with random or obscure reasons for favoring teams. Such as: Vermont is gonna take DOWN Arizona -- they have Ben & Jerry on their side! I really wanted UIPIU or whatever it's called to win as well but they're against Kentucky and I am not quite that foolhardy.

― Chris P (Chris P), Monday, 17 March 2003 18:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Can you sign up for more than one bracket? I've got to have a reality bracket, and a LOUISVILLE-WINS-EVERYTHING fantasy bracket.

― hstencil, Monday, 17 March 2003 18:54 (twenty-three years ago)

sure! just make up a second yahooID and use that one. [pitino's going down!!!]

― phil-two (phil-two), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 02:55 (twenty-three years ago)

My dream - a Monmouth / Valpo final. In lieu of that, go Huskies (tho their point guard stink, stank, and stunk). Will sign up soonish.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 03:30 (twenty-three years ago)

I was so sad Valpo wasn't in this year!

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 03:43 (twenty-three years ago)

At least IUPUI made it in; I guess they got the third Indiana slot instead. But Valpo's great.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 03:44 (twenty-three years ago)

MORE PARTICIPANTS NOW.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 15:33 (twenty-three years ago)

I signed up last night and made my picks in such a haste that I can't even tell you who I selected ... I think maybe Syracuse was in there.

My friend has this theory that this is the year for periennial underachievers to win championships, like the Angels and Bucs. I was trying to follow his logic, though I still went against the Salukis.

― zaxxon25 (zaxxon25), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 16:23 (twenty-three years ago)

time's running out y'all! unless of course the games get postponed....

― phil-two (phil-two), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 04:16 (twenty-three years ago)

JOIN US IN IGNORING WAR.

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 15:09 (twenty-three years ago)

I joined yesterday...

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 16:40 (twenty-three years ago)

well.. ten people for a NCAA pool isnt *that* bad, I guess. who are your final four picks?

― phil-two (phil-two), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 16:42 (twenty-three years ago)

Ten people is pathetic but I suppose it increases my chance of winning. What do we win?

I have Arizona, Kentucky, Florida, and Oklahoma. Fuck. I might change Oklahoma.

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 19:04 (twenty-three years ago)

Kentucky, Arizona, UConn and Oklahoma...

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 19:06 (twenty-three years ago)

Definitely changing OK.

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 19:07 (twenty-three years ago)

11 people now! Yay.
I have Illinois, Kentucky, Texas, Oklahoma... Though I might change Oklahoma too! Urgh.

What should the prize be?

― phil-two (phil-two), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 19:09 (twenty-three years ago)

to who?

― phil-two (phil-two), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 19:09 (twenty-three years ago)

I joined... I have not been following college hoops at all this year so this should be fun. Is Michigan in the tourny?? (kidding)

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 19:10 (twenty-three years ago)

I haven't been following at all and used my usual strategy of "following my gut".

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 19:10 (twenty-three years ago)

well its always the least-informed who wins the office-pool... my sister wins hers every three years, at least.

― phil-two (phil-two), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 19:11 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm iffy on Oklahoma too. I think they're a great team (and Hollis Price's past tourney performances certainly suggest a title run), but they have a habit of letting lesser teams creep back into games and making them run down to the wire. In the NCAA tournament, this typically spells INSTANT DEATH!!!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 19:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Eh... but the East looks so weak... Oklahoma will probably win it.

― phil-two (phil-two), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 19:14 (twenty-three years ago)

People! This is no fun at all if you know anything about the teams! Just go for the schools with the coolest names. UIPIU or Gonzaga or something like that.

― Chris P (Chris P), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 19:19 (twenty-three years ago)

too bad the Southwest Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns aren't in it this year, then.

― phil-two (phil-two), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 19:23 (twenty-three years ago)

My final four: Kentucky, Duke, UConn, Wake Forest.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 19 March 2003 19:28 (twenty-three years ago)

There's still time to join!

Incentive: Winner gets their choice of:

A. A felt hat from Kygryzstan
B. A Camera Obscura CD
C. A Hand-Job

― phil-two (phil-two), Thursday, 20 March 2003 15:18 (twenty-three years ago)

I'll bet if Phil wins he picks C.

― Chris P (Chris P), Thursday, 20 March 2003 16:58 (twenty-three years ago)

dogg, i just had myself a C like 2 hours ago.

― phil-two (phil-two), Thursday, 20 March 2003 16:59 (twenty-three years ago)

THIS THING'S RIGGED!!!!!!!!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 20 March 2003 17:01 (twenty-three years ago)

yes, i've arranged for all your brackets to be changed to IUPUI, Vermont, Troy State, and Manhattan. I gots to get me that handjob

― phil-two (phil-two), Thursday, 20 March 2003 17:12 (twenty-three years ago)

shit, too late.

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Thursday, 20 March 2003 17:17 (twenty-three years ago)

IT'S STARTED!! IT'S STARTED!!

Marquette is down to Holy Cross, and Cal is smooshing NC State! Though its only been 4 minutes.

― phil-two (phil-two), Thursday, 20 March 2003 17:33 (twenty-three years ago)

You're like a little NCAA-lovin' puppy!

― Chris P (Chris P), Thursday, 20 March 2003 17:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Today would be the day I have five hours of afternoon meetings. What good is being at work if you can't watch the scores real time?!? Now I know why my boss took today and tomorrow off ...

― zaxxon25 (zaxxon25), Thursday, 20 March 2003 17:39 (twenty-three years ago)

My happiness this year is directly proportional to the length of Illinois' tourney run, and inversely proportional to that of Duke.

― phil-two (phil-two), Thursday, 20 March 2003 17:40 (twenty-three years ago)

Gonzaga!

― hstencil, Thursday, 20 March 2003 20:25 (twenty-three years ago)

phear me! i am perfect thus far!!!!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 20 March 2003 20:26 (twenty-three years ago)

So am I, yanc3y.

― hstencil, Thursday, 20 March 2003 20:28 (twenty-three years ago)

oh no! phil will have to give us BOTH handjobs!!!!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 20 March 2003 20:32 (twenty-three years ago)

don't get your, uh, hope up: final score's a tie-breaker.

― hstencil, Thursday, 20 March 2003 20:32 (twenty-three years ago)

but my "hope" has been up all morning!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 20 March 2003 20:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Get your, uh, "war" on, Yanc3y.

― hstencil, Thursday, 20 March 2003 20:34 (twenty-three years ago)

My bracket is fuXored up already (Holy Cross was one of my sleepers to make it out of the second round and I had Cal losing). Oh well.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Thursday, 20 March 2003 20:39 (twenty-three years ago)

Foolish boy, betting on Holy Cross.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 20 March 2003 20:42 (twenty-three years ago)

I love the ACC, but the ACC has sucked this year. I don't think I have a single ACC team coming out of the Sweet Sixteen. I think I have Wake losing in round 2 and Duke losing their round 3 game.

Almost a great pick with Holy X, Aaron.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 20 March 2003 20:43 (twenty-three years ago)

Dontcha know God hates Holy Cross?

Fuck fuck I don't know why I didn't trust Gonzaga but you'll get yours hstencil when BYU upsets.

Yanc3y: I have Wake in the final four. I'm gonna win big or lose big this year for sure.

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 20 March 2003 20:44 (twenty-three years ago)

BYU can blow me. Freakin' Mormons and their kidnapped kids, ugh.

― hstencil, Thursday, 20 March 2003 20:46 (twenty-three years ago)

I was iffy on my Wake pick because I really like them, but I don't trust them. Oh, and I need to amend my statement above: I have Maryland making it to the Elite 8, I think. I'm not sure though.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 20 March 2003 20:48 (twenty-three years ago)

I am upset with myself for not trusting Marquette to win. Sigh. I'd been thinking about going back and changing that particular pick, too...

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Thursday, 20 March 2003 20:56 (twenty-three years ago)

Fuck. BYU almost had it.

I think I'll be talking trash about all my picks so that they all lose and I turn up last. Is there a last place prize?

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 20 March 2003 21:42 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm glad UConn's pulling away since I have them in my Final Four! Missouri - So. Ill. I wanna see this game!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 20 March 2003 21:43 (twenty-three years ago)

TAKE THAT, MORMON BITCHEZ!

― hstencil, Thursday, 20 March 2003 21:46 (twenty-three years ago)

I am amused that I basically just picked random teams with a slight weighting on ranking and so far am doing very well.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 20 March 2003 21:46 (twenty-three years ago)

Missouri is struggling. It's not pretty.

I am paying for my years of corrupting Mormon girls with unwholesome fun.

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 20 March 2003 21:47 (twenty-three years ago)

SO ILL. is SO ILL!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 20 March 2003 21:49 (twenty-three years ago)

I feel kinda dumb for not taking the Salukis.

― hstencil, Thursday, 20 March 2003 21:50 (twenty-three years ago)

How ironic; the Missouri player that choked that girl is FUCKING CHOKING. Karma's a bitch.

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 20 March 2003 21:56 (twenty-three years ago)

4 seconds left! what's happening???

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 20 March 2003 22:05 (twenty-three years ago)

1 second left and Mizzou is up by a point!

― hstencil, Thursday, 20 March 2003 22:06 (twenty-three years ago)

Missouri squeaks it out! But they're SO going down next round.

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 20 March 2003 22:07 (twenty-three years ago)

er, TAKE THAT SALUKI BITCHEZ!

― hstencil, Thursday, 20 March 2003 22:09 (twenty-three years ago)

hstencil is 6-for-6!

(if I keep gloating, it won't last.)

― hstencil, Thursday, 20 March 2003 22:11 (twenty-three years ago)

As am I! Phil, start stretching dem hands!!!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 20 March 2003 22:18 (twenty-three years ago)

every time IUPUI wins, God kills another kitten

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Friday, 21 March 2003 03:11 (twenty-three years ago)

oh no! phil will have to give us BOTH handjobs!!!!

you mean "oh yeeeaaaah"...

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 21 March 2003 04:25 (twenty-three years ago)

The Salukis totally got ROBBED. Those fucking Tiger bitches will pay.

I woke up from this horrible dream where Manhattan had beaten Syracuse and Illinois were down by 18 to Western Kentucky. WHEW! Anyways, my bracket is already fux0red since I had Creighton beating Duke, and messed up on S.Illinois/Mizzou, Stanford/San Diego, Memphis/Arizona St.

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 21 March 2003 04:28 (twenty-three years ago)

DAMN! Notre Dame beat UW-Milwaukee by one... I think I've messed up on 5 first-round games.

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 21 March 2003 05:05 (twenty-three years ago)

Eh, you don't win the tourney in the first round. Then again, you certainly can lose it. My flier on Dayton didn't pan out, I guess.

All of the games (excepting the 1/16 matchups) have been close, a very exciting first day. 4 upsets on the first day is average.

― zaxxon25 (zaxxon25), Friday, 21 March 2003 12:45 (twenty-three years ago)

Auburn & St. J are tied at end of regulation!

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 21 March 2003 19:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Shit, I think I have St.Joes into the Elite-8. My annual "what-the-fuck-was-i-thinking" pick.

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 21 March 2003 19:35 (twenty-three years ago)

though i haven't paid attention to St.Joespeh's all year except when they beat my DePaul team by only 1.... shit. what was i thinking?

but i like Jameer Nelson's name

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 21 March 2003 19:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh I didn't have Holy Cross afterall... take that you Christ lovers!

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Friday, 21 March 2003 19:43 (twenty-three years ago)

It looks like Auburn! One sec left!

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 21 March 2003 19:47 (twenty-three years ago)

YEAH AUBURN!!!!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 21 March 2003 19:50 (twenty-three years ago)

BOO AUBURN!

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Friday, 21 March 2003 19:51 (twenty-three years ago)

damn you jameer.

i've already lost an elite 8 [st.josephs] and sweet-16 [creighton] team.

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 21 March 2003 19:51 (twenty-three years ago)

which ESPN.com bracket expert said to pick teams with experienced point guards? fuck him.

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 21 March 2003 19:52 (twenty-three years ago)

I had St. Joe too. hstencil, did you play a lot of chalk or what? Has anyone played with the scenario generator? It's fun and gives you hope.

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 21 March 2003 19:56 (twenty-three years ago)

I had Creighton in the Sweet Sixteen too... Duke's gonna fall early.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 21 March 2003 20:03 (twenty-three years ago)

I think Duke will fall too, even though Kansas has a reputation for choking.

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 21 March 2003 20:06 (twenty-three years ago)

I am in last place! Phil will not be touching my ten-foot pole!

― Chris P (Chris P), Friday, 21 March 2003 20:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Do I sense relief or disappointment from that statement? I'm not sure!

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 21 March 2003 20:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Only one way to find out!

― Chris P (Chris P), Friday, 21 March 2003 20:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Exercise my power as group coordinator, and remove the other contestants so that you and only you can win?

― phil-two (phil-two), Friday, 21 March 2003 20:14 (twenty-three years ago)

You do care!

― Chris P (Chris P), Friday, 21 March 2003 20:16 (twenty-three years ago)

Get a room.

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 21 March 2003 20:30 (twenty-three years ago)

I already have a room, thank you.

― Chris P (Chris P), Friday, 21 March 2003 20:40 (twenty-three years ago)

Planning ahead, then?

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 21 March 2003 20:50 (twenty-three years ago)

I rock the house with wins from Purdue, Utah, and OK State!

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 21 March 2003 22:20 (twenty-three years ago)

Woah, check the scenario builder; I'M IN THE LEAD!!!!! YEAH!!!!

(I have to celebrate now because I've realized that I have very little chance of winning this thing.)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 21 March 2003 22:25 (twenty-three years ago)

Argh I'm out... I already lost two Sweet 16s and pretty much all my picks today were wrong.

Hey, I'm the one who's last. I'm not just going to lose--I'm going to lose spectacularly. It's actually kind of exciting.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Saturday, 22 March 2003 15:52 (twenty-three years ago)

Mizzou-Marquette in OT.

Marquette! Yaaay! Of course, it didn't affect my points as I'd picked both Holy Cross and Missou...

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Saturday, 22 March 2003 23:15 (twenty-three years ago)

ZAGS!

What's important now is "possible points" - which sux because I already lost a final four team [Illinois], an elite 8 team [St.Josephs], and a couple sweet-16 teams [Creighton, Mississippi State]... And I have Michgan State over Florida tomorrow, whoops.

― phil-two (phil-two), Sunday, 23 March 2003 08:34 (twenty-three years ago)

Looking over my picks, I'm still confident that I still have a very very good chance at coming in last. I had Colorado going far... (yes, mock me...i took some classes at CU and they're sports-obsessed, hence my pick. but i know nothing about that team specifically, obv.)

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Sunday, 23 March 2003 16:04 (twenty-three years ago)

Julia you have nothing on me. I have lost two of my final four picks. There will be no hand jobs for me this year.

― Chris P (Chris P), Sunday, 23 March 2003 18:33 (twenty-three years ago)

I cannot BELIEVE Syracuse is playing so shittily.

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 23 March 2003 20:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Whoa I'm in first place (11-Seed Upsets)!

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Sunday, 23 March 2003 21:44 (twenty-three years ago)

Louisville's out, I'm fucked.

― hstencil, Sunday, 23 March 2003 23:52 (twenty-three years ago)

My bracket's not doing so hot right now, but all of my Elite Eights are still in, so I have hope!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 24 March 2003 00:06 (twenty-three years ago)

My east bracket is fux0red (Louisville v Wake Forest in elite 8) but I'm in good shape with the rest. My b-friend is threatening to cut me off from the tourney. Something about taking it too seriously, blah blah.

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 24 March 2003 02:17 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm alternately cheering picks of mine that have won, and cracking up laughing over those that have lost (a considerably more frequent occurance). This is great fun.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Monday, 24 March 2003 04:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, haha! Michigan State won!

― phil-two (phil-two), Monday, 24 March 2003 09:39 (twenty-three years ago)

WHAT ARE WE TO DO UNTIL THE GAMES START AGAIN?

And why is it that I'm doing well in this pool but tanking in my office pool even though I entered the same bracket in both?

Do you work at Butler University?

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 24 March 2003 21:05 (twenty-three years ago)

It's because I don't work in your office.

― Chris P (Chris P), Monday, 24 March 2003 21:05 (twenty-three years ago)

I had Butler in the Sweet 16... but then I also had Weber St. and LSU. But I really wish I'd picked Kentucky instead of Arizona in the finals.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Monday, 24 March 2003 21:13 (twenty-three years ago)

If UConn or Duke wins, I still have a shot.

(See why I did all my gloating early?)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 25 March 2003 14:21 (twenty-three years ago)

I am in shock and awe at being in first place.... I've never won one of these pools in my entire life.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Tuesday, 25 March 2003 14:23 (twenty-three years ago)

(See why I did all my gloating early?)

HA! In yo' face with a can of mace, baybay! I'm beating you.

― phil-two (phil-two), Wednesday, 26 March 2003 06:41 (twenty-three years ago)

The games are on!

I've lost 3 of my final four. If Duke loses that's all of them...

(yay, Marquette up by 4...)

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Friday, 28 March 2003 03:58 (twenty-three years ago)

DAMN YOU MARQUETTE AND KANSAS!

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Friday, 28 March 2003 05:03 (twenty-three years ago)

All perfect picks last night! I rule the school(s)!

(however tonight I only have ONE of my teams even playing.)

Who still has a chance of winning it all if everything goes their way?

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 28 March 2003 10:55 (twenty-three years ago)

If UConn wins, I could still win.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 28 March 2003 13:21 (twenty-three years ago)

I think if Arizona wins I could still win.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Friday, 28 March 2003 14:08 (twenty-three years ago)

GRRR.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 28 March 2003 14:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Still holding steady at 3...

― hstencil, Friday, 28 March 2003 14:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Texas wins in a squeakah.

― teeny (teeny), Saturday, 29 March 2003 02:44 (twenty-three years ago)

It's not looking good for you, Dan! :)

I'm rooting for Kansas to beat Arizona to screw all you who picked Arizona out of yr final four points...

― phil-two (phil-two), Saturday, 29 March 2003 12:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Well who'd guess Kentucky would be getting a new hole reamed at half time.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Saturday, 29 March 2003 21:38 (twenty-three years ago)

I think KU's gonna win today.

― Aaron A., Saturday, 29 March 2003 21:50 (twenty-three years ago)

Since Kentucky got wiped out, AZ winning is my only chance of getting any more points in this thing at all. This is a great game.

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 30 March 2003 01:01 (twenty-three years ago)

So all my final four are gone? Is this what you're telling me? Sigh.

― Chris P (Chris P), Sunday, 30 March 2003 01:16 (twenty-three years ago)

And kansas wins.

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 30 March 2003 01:20 (twenty-three years ago)

DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! I hate you Marquette.

Who's Set Shot Suckas?

― phil-two (phil-two), Sunday, 30 March 2003 06:43 (twenty-three years ago)

C'est moi. Gooooooooo 'Cuse!

― David R. (popshots75`), Sunday, 30 March 2003 17:46 (twenty-three years ago)

damn. you're going to win. does anyone else have more than 1 final four team left?

― phil-two (phil-two), Tuesday, 1 April 2003 14:25 (twenty-three years ago)

Nope. I did another bracket with some friends, and one guy got the entire Final Four right. Fucking asshole.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Tuesday, 1 April 2003 14:29 (twenty-three years ago)

the entire final four? That's impressive.

― phil-two (phil-two), Tuesday, 1 April 2003 14:37 (twenty-three years ago)

If Syracuse makes it into the final game ---> I win

If Texas makes it into the final game ---> hstencil wins

This is the first bracket where I've actually achieved some sort of success. All my years of half-ass guessing & fairweather fandom have finally paid off!

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 1 April 2003 14:37 (twenty-three years ago)

Yance: Do you call him The Smug Asshat?

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 1 April 2003 14:37 (twenty-three years ago)

― phil-two (phil-two), Tuesday, 8 April 2003 05:18 (twenty-three years ago)

Thanks, Phil. I only wish I could bottle this little bit o' lucky guessing &, I dunno, use it to do my Chemistry homework.

Mark my words: next year is all about Monmouth.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 8 April 2003 05:28 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, Julia ruined my chance at being rock-bottom on all my picks.

― Chris P (Chris P), Tuesday, 8 April 2003 06:01 (twenty-three years ago)

jesus christ. david nearly doubled my score.

― phil-two (phil-two), Tuesday, 8 April 2003 06:07 (twenty-three years ago)
