    The PAC 12 was a disgrace this year. If it helps, 2nd place went to a point total of 1140 last year. So, just win every game from here on out. Easy enough. :/

    Really, tell me about it. What a fucking mess!!!! Should prove interesting from here on out though. Especially since I can now just watch the games. I made paper dolls out of my brackets. lol lol




    Spoiler:


    I didn't think, Duke had the experience to go far, but maybe now.....................????? If MSU makes it to the next round that should be a good game.

    I woke up this morning and was shocked to see UVA lost. I didn't see the game or highlights and just looked at the box score. Craziness.

    Yeah, who knows at this point. Both Michigan teams are playing well, and Izzo always seems to win in the tourney. My other championship game team, Purdue, just lost their 7-footer, Haas, to a broken elbow. So we'll see if they can win a few more. I'm doubtful.

    Whoop! My bracket is close to busted but I don't care. A&M made the Sweet 16! Apparently being a homer would have helped me out this year.

    For the last few years I had been a homer for UM (Go Blue!) but this year I had them going out in the 2nd round. Wish I would have stuck to my original inclination with them.

    Well, it looks like gersto has first place in the bag! Congratulations!!!

    Second place, by my account, is up for grabs:

    Villanova win - Lurker gets 2nd place
    Michigan win - BedOfRoses gets 2nd place

    It should be a great game!

    Actually, if Michigan wins, I win the contest. Unfortunately, it's not THIS contest. I used my primary bracket here, and a secondary bracket in another group that has about 40 or so contestants. That bracket is titled "Alas, still no Tigers " I'm currently sitting at No. 1 with Michigan as my title pick. That particular contest doesn't offer a trophy or anything, so I'm kindof kicking myself for flipping the coin the wrong way and using my loser bracket here.

    Oh, well. Maybe Michigan loses and it all becomes moot anyway.

    Haha..I had Duke in a family bracket. I'm in the loser's club all around. Send in the clown! And yes...it's ALL about the trophy!

    Next year, my friend.

    I was so close to winning in my bracket pool. Was in the top few positions all the way to the final four. But then Kansas had to get creamed. I should have stayed with Villanova as my champion, but I decided to switch to Kansas. Oh well. I did pretty well for someone who hasn't watch a college game since Shane Battier and Duke won it all in what, 2002?
