March Madness 23

I would never bet on them either. I like to try and pick the winners but just for fun. My son always plays in a buy in March Madness pool. Just ten bucks and a chance to win 20 fold. Winner takes all and I suppose one man's guess is as good as another. Mostly for fun and bragging rights I guess.

I just looked at my bracket after the dust of today settled. Well friends, it was a bad day. I managed to pick half of the games correctly. The saddest cut is three of my bad picks I also have picked to win their next game. I'm dead in the well. @ocnbrze has run ruled me in the first. :)
 
Example B: #16 Fairleigh Dickinson Knights over #1 Purdue Boilermakers

I guess it's only the second time a number a 1 seed fell to a number a16 seed
A young David armed with only a sling, picked a stone and slung it at Goliath's head. David's aim was true; the stone struck the giant and knocked him out
 
My picks today were better than yesterday but still super sorry. I had fun watching and the teams I really wanted to wind managed to live to play another day.

I use DirecTV to watch the games. They have an app this year that puts the madness games into a plex like the baseball or pro football packages. It's made the games a lot more fun to watch. I nearly beat my remote to death last year switching between the games. Now I don't miss a moment of the action and I'm able to witness each painful bad pick loss in real time. :)
 
man i have been so busy the last couple of days that i can't keep up with March Madness. so here are my thoughts over the last few days:
  • i am glad that i am beating @olbriar.
  • i am very happy that my Bruins are still in it.
  • i did not see Purdue going down like that.
  • i had arizona go all the way to the sweet 16. there goes that side of the bracket.
  • i am a graduate of UCSB so i made the homer pick of ucsb winning over baylor......NOT!!!! lol
  • i also had purdue going to the sweet 16(i think most people did....LOL). i love cinderella teams.

go san diego st.!!!!! up huge against furman who i had losing to virginia.
 
I'm still exercising my right to lose games at will. Love living in a free country! My son sent me a pic of one of his brackets on ESPN. He only has three losses so far!!! His rank is 96K lol. How can 96K contestants only have three losses??? As crazy as this madness has been... I don't get it.
 
That was a heart breaker for me being as KU is my team. I didn't have them going all the way but I had them winning today. They needed Bill Self and his red face yelling at them for KU to play winning basketball. On another note, I follow my local U the Wichita Shockers. Ricky Council, that beat KU down the stretch, is a former Shocker that jumped ship. He left the Shockers leaving them in the dumper and then beat KU. It was a double whammy for me.
 
ok my Bruins survived their game with northwestern. onto Gonzaga will be my guest. but we are now down another man. i hope singleton can come back from that injury that happened near the end of the game.
