Title: March Madness
Post by: BridgeTroll on March 12, 2012, 11:07:57 AM
It is here again... Anyone filling out brackets?  Would be kind of cool if we could get a bracket here that we could fill out for all to see.  My preliminary search has come up empty... any one else?

Congrats to FSU on beating Duke and winning the ACC... :)

I wouldn't participate, but I'd be more than happy to set up a yahoo March Madness Bracket.  PM me with email addresses and I'll set it up and send out invites.

Edit:  Scratch that, in order to set it up, I have to fill in a bracket.  I guess I'm playing.

I will do it. I probably am at a disadvantage because I have to pick my Noles to the final four. If I don't do it this year who knows when I'll have another chance.

So I'm guessing if we had money on it, your picks would be different.  Hmmmmm. 

I just like to win, although I'm at a severe disadvantage because I can honestly care less about basketball, but I guess since you guys are 'picking with your hearts, guts, feelings, the color of the jerseys, which team has better hair - you know - all the chick senses, then I might even stand a chance.   :P  (sorry, practicing up for baseball smack talk.  It's a long time until football again.)

I assume the '1' is there because someone else already had the TUFSU?  Surely it couldn't be a reference to the standing of either institution...

Down to the sweet 16... Florida will fall to Marquette... who will become the National champion.  Duke and Missouri lose in the first game... ROFL... ;D

I'm actually finishing a spot higher than I expected.  Thanks, TUFSU.   :D
