hahaha. nice.

hush you, savage.

If Memphis wins then samuel wins the bracket, if Kansas wins, I believe I will be victorious.

My mom went to grad school at Kansas - I've never been a fan really, but she finally worked me down. Plus it was obvious from the beginning of the year that this was the best team in the country.

samuel 04.07.2008 06:38 PM

So what happens when either of us wins?
Just a pat on the back, I guess.

wait... that's all?

fuck this.


Well, I guess there's always the bragging rights of knowing that you beat 9 other sonic youth fans in your basketball prediction abilities. Maybe we should have an awards ceremony.

"I'd like to thank all of you who made this moment possible - like San Diego. That was the greatest pick I've made in years!"

This year's tourney has been a rollercoaster for me.
Imagine, if you will, my chagrin.
In typical (we all know it well) par-for-the-course second-guessing fashion, my opening round upsets all shat the bed with extreme prejudice.
As a result of the aforementioned buffoonery, I found myself placing tenth...in dead last place out of ten participants for the first few days of action.
Then, wowee zowee, I shoot up to fourth.
Then, second.
And then, with all the final four picked correctly (in this historic year of all four number one seeds going to semis), and with the Fates fully smiling, I found myself at number one. (And for the second year in a row too...a tasty morsel indeed, haha).
Take Me To The Top, baby!

And then, of course, last Saturday night both of the teams I had picked (UCLA & UNC)
lost...relegating me to second place.

The Tigers win over the Bruins came as no real surprise to me, but I have the distinct predisposition to strongly affirm that if the Tarheels played the Jayhawks ten times, they would win at least seven of those times. Somehow the trip to San Antonio fucked them up; if the game had been in Charlotte, KU wouldn't have had all that much of a chance. Oh well...such are sour grapes.

Go C.D-R., Go Rose, Go TIGERS!

Ha ha ha ha.....YES!!!


Not that it would neccesarily matter, but I think the wait between the Elite Eight and the Final Four is rediculous. I mean a 3 day restperiod and 3 days to scout would be cool, but like a week of nothing kills a team's momentum. They play the champioship after only a days rest, so why not the others? UNC and UCLA looked flat as shit and no, that's not to take anything away from Kansas and Memphis. That shit just always baffles me.


I had a nice amount of correct picks, but obviously not the right ones.


I'd like to see Memphis win, but I still say Kansas is too deep.

You were the leader of the pack there for most of the tourney.

krastian 04.07.2008 09:16 PM

I was doing really good in my money pool too....obviously fucked now.

nature scene 04.07.2008 10:03 PM

This has been a good game so far. Two very well matched teams.

krastian 04.07.2008 10:31 PM

HOLY FUCK!!!

BUCKETS!!!

Damn You Caps Lock!!

CD-R: Thou Shalt Not Miss Free Throws in the Final Seconds.:(


I thought this was over, but then Rose missed his penalty shots too.

That has been their achilles heel all year long.


Kansas will not lose this in OT.

nature scene 04.07.2008 10:54 PM

Now to collect my winnings....


This has been one of the most exciting tournaments in my recent memory. Thanks a lot to krastian for setting up the pool. Maybe we can get more people next year.

krastian 04.07.2008 11:08 PM

Hell yeah, glad everyone enjoyed it.

Congrats to nature scene!!

the same UNC that Kansas drilled by 18 points and made look like a church league team? That UNC?

davenotdead 04.07.2008 11:55 PM

Kansas played out of their minds the first 10 minutes of that game... they don't play like that every game... they had a great tournament, im glad for them
