QuoteThank you for creating an entry in Men's Tournament Challenge. Brackets can not be filled out at this time but they will be available after the bracket is finalized Sunday, March 11th! However, you are welcome to create another entry and take another shot at winning great prizes!

probably later tonight, or tomorrow. (the bracket is finalized, but who knows)

I think the Memphis Grizzlies will win.

Are they even in the playoffs?

I'm doing this, but I really have no idea about most, if not all, of these teams.

Do they put the uniform color on the brackets?  That's how I would choose.

That's how our executive secretary won last year.

We just started drawing teams for the brackets at work.

I got:

Oregon
Nevada
Maryland
Jackson St.
Texas A&M CC

Bah.

Post by: dazie on March 12, 2007, 03:33:44 PM
Go with Nevada.  They have a surprisingly decent team.
Title: Re: March Madness
Post by: Jessie on March 12, 2007, 03:44:40 PM
I'm going with all of them.  If any of them win, I win $64.

Looks like you'd be kicking a little more ass if you'd have picked Louisville to win today.

Oh man, I'm so winning this thing.

That Duke game was awesome.

I watched part of the last bit.  It was loud.
Title: Re: March Madness

I haven't watched any of the games myself.

Post by: dazie on March 16, 2007, 09:22:35 AM
I went out with a bunch of teachers Ursus works with.  I got creamed in the rock paper scissors tournament, and scratched on the 8 ball in pool.  I felt like Duke.

Dazie covered the important stuff.

My dad called me today to ask if I'd watched the VCU v Duke game.  They're still celebrating, even though they're out. 

On a related note, my step-mother was just awarded an outstanding woman in science award.  I'm not sure if it's just from VCU or from Virginia or bigger, but even if it's just VCU, that's still pretty sweet.

Science people are cool.  If you're ever stranded on an island, they can make radios out of cocoanuts.  Or if you're the McGyver kind, you can make a nuclear bomb out of bisquick, chewing gum and a thumb tack.

I doubt my parents could make anything out of a coconut.  Although we did just find out that my step-sister is incubating a new baby.  And it's supposed to be a boy - based on how hairy her husband is, coconut isn't an entirely inappropriate nickname.

One of my bosses picked Notre Dame to go all the way. He's alumni. He's also pretty upset about losing his ten bucks, last I heard.

My boss just paid to put us in a tournament. 

I got: Kansas, Butler, SIU and Georgetown.
Title: Re: March Madness

Yup.  :(

I didn't pick my teams - they were drawn for me.

OK.  Thought I was losing it there for a sec.  Everybody around here is all team spirited up and I'm totally clueless.

I'd still lay $200 on KU.

I hope they win simply because it will make my life easier.

Even though I"m not watching, I'm watching the score.

I'm thinking eo owes me his basement carpet or a few fingers.  We'll let him decide.

I bet he'd hack off a finger or two before giving up the carpet.

I won my on-line bracket and I think I lost my money bracket at work.  I can't remember who I had winning finals.

OK- as much as I loathe the Florida teams, it's pretty damn cool that they have both the football and men's basketball championship teams.
