My bracket is ugly but I'm still kicking. I am shocked. I cannot believe Duke lost last night. I didn't even tune to that game...I figured they had that one in the bag.

The only way I can move up in the rankings is if UCLA and Gonzaga meet in the title game.
Yeah, Duke screwed me up. Oh, well - I had a perfect first day. How many people can say that!
I did find it interesting that out of the nine ACC teams to make the tourney, eight did not make it past the first weekend. Has there ever been such a total conference flop?
Big east was pretty bad this year to. Only 2 of the 7 teams made it to this upcoming weekend.
Looks like I'm out. I didn't really do the math but it looks like there is 2 or 3 people left that could win. Good luck all!
So if I read it right - if Oregon and South Carolina win next weekend, the standings will remain as they are right now and I will finish 2nd. If either Gonzaga or UNC win, I'm officially out.
Math makes my head hurt, so I'll just assume I'm out since my only remaining points belong to UNC and there are two others with UNC to the end.
Oh well...when does football start??? :)
as soon as you say it does, my friend.
Now entering the final turn!
...and from back in the pack from the 12 position, it's, it's...divemaster! Making his break on the outside!
...passing shac; and now spacemany; now chasing down bedofroses--but bedofroses battles back with more in the tank...
...now divemaster again catching copefiend and Grayson Got Me Trippin, who are ridden out with nothing left; now chasing down NeedfulKings and windnwaves, who keep the pace!
Can divemaster break free of the middle of the pack and catch the leaders?
Looking like it is down to you and Big Bill. Good luck to both of you.
If Gonzaga wins, I finish top 10 in my pool of hundreds. Not bad for someone who hasn't watched an NCAA game since a Shane Battier led Duke team won it.
Damn!!!! Think I have this won!!!!! Get the "Trophy Guy" out of bed, Bill!!! lol lol
This is gonna be close!!!!
Funny thing is FWIW I kinda liked the, Zags going in. I just thought experience might be the difference. So far. It's anybody's game!!!! Whoot!!!!
If I come in second can my trophy say "Fear the Beard" somehow??? LOL LOL
Bring on the confetti!!!!!!!! Wo-Hoo!!!! Gotta love them Tar Heels!!!!!
In truth, I was kinda rooting for the, Zags. However, maybe nest year. They just didn't have it in the end and I kinda wish they did!!!!
Fear the beard!!!!! (next year???)
Congratulations!!!!!
