Damn, what happen? I was up near the top, now i am in the middle of the pack. It's okay, because of alot of my elite 8s are still in it. Long as you have Elite 8's, it's okay. One can rally, and come back.
Looks like I'm meeting my goal of beating Dylan so far. I have a pretty high potential score if my Elite Eight pans out. I can get 7 in the Elite 8, and 100% of the Final Four. Of course this means nothing if Oklahoma doesn't win it all. Go Sooners, and down with Dylan. B
For those of you who are like me and are getting killed can try the 2nd Chance bracket. Please note that this Contest is totally independent from the firsth one. Group Info: Group Name: ClutchCity Password: jazzsuck
Okay everyone, time to get in the second chance bracket! I'm goin' purely on gut in this one. No thought whatsoever. I made all my picks in less than a minute. Go Sooners!
The four ahead of me are all tied into OU and Duke winning. Looks like I still have a good chance. Maryland will win it for me baby! I actually am worried though, Kansas and Maryland are facing exactly who I didn't want them to face this round. They are playing deep talented teams who didn't perform up to their talent this year and who finally have the pressure on their opponents. If KU/Mary can make it past thus-fri games they for sure will win on the weekend and meet in the national semis for an epic game to determine the true national champion.
Duke winning? That is kind of funny now. What I was saying is the eventual NC will be the winner of that game. Kind of like the (sucky result) Vegas-Duke final 4 game the year after Vegas won, or the Iowa State-MSU game a few years ago. The best game with the best teams with the eventualy NC will be before the final game. That is what I was saying. The game that should be the NC game will be played early.
Here is an update. MDuke will go down when Kansas destroys the pretending Ducks on sunday. Darn Buck, I think I can't catch him no matter what because of 10 measily points. 1 mduke's Sooners, michael duke 240 220 200 0 0 0 660 1300 2 There Was No Pick, Mike Keeley 240 220 160 0 0 0 620 780 2 B's Bracket of Bad Picks, Tim Baldwin 200 220 200 0 0 0 620 1260 4 Rokkit's Rampage, Jason Kouches 200 200 200 0 0 0 600 960 5 H-town Kournikovas, Kam P 250 140 200 0 0 0 590 950 5 Nomar's AMac Attack, Alex McCown 250 180 160 0 0 0 590 950 5 Buck Turgidson, Brett Heffington 190 200 200 0 0 0 590 1230 8 ds DesertScar, s s 240 180 160 0 0 0 580 1220 9 dcrockking zagasucks, chris hall 230 180 160 0 0 0 570 1010 9 I own clutch city.net, Kam Pen 210 160 200 0 0 0 570 930 11 OU AstroRockets, J- Dub 220 180 160 0 0 0 560 920 11 Astoria mcmark, Mark McGriff 200 160 200 0 0 0 560 1200 13 Kam is a winner, Big Pimpin' Kam 210 140 200 0 0 0 550 910 13 Kidrock's Picks, Stephen Kim 210 180 160 0 0 0 550 830 13 Kourni Kam, Kam Pen 210 140 200 0 0 0 550 910 13 OldSchool200 Old School, old school 230 160 160 0 0 0 550 990 17 Slade Entry, C Slade 220 140 160 0 0 0 520 1160 18 BENSILHE Entry, CARY BENSILHE 230 160 120 0 0 0 510 710 19 The Mo and Fro Show, Jules Rosenman 180 200 120 0 0 0 500 1020 20 RM95's BigEyedFish, Blake Gifford 190 180 120 0 0 0 490 930 21 lee Entry, the great one 220 180 80 0 0 0 480 920 22 Iowa City Isotopes, Matt Seelke 210 180 80 0 0 0 470 550 23 JohnnyRocket Wolfpack, John Gottshall 220 120 120 0 0 0 460 740 24 Cat's Picks, Ben DuBose 180 140 120 0 0 0 440 880 25 wrath of khan, jamil khan 190 160 80 0 0 0 430 510 26 Spacemonkey Jes, Space Monkey 180 120 120 0 0 0 420 940
Mduke, sorry bud, you ain't doing the domination anymore. Buck is going to win if Maryland can beat Kansas (damn it, Buck, 10 point I can't make up because all our winners are the same from here). The winner of that epic game will put away Indiana/OU. 1 B's Bracket of Bad Picks, Tim Baldwin 200 220 200 240 0 0 860 1260 2 Rokkit's Rampage, Jason Kouches 200 200 200 240 0 0 840 960 3 Nomar's AMac Attack, Alex McCown 250 180 160 240 0 0 830 950 3 Buck Turgidson, B.

I almost wish I had picked Kansas instead of Maryland in the Finals. Kansas is looking really good right now. What makes you think OU doesn't have a chance against Kansas or Maryland? OU might be more rested if they put Indiana away early (if they can even beat Indiana, how can you beat a team when they shoot 80% from the 3 point line?). Anyway, win or lose I did what I set out to do, and that was to beat Dylan, everything else is just icing on the cake. B
OU is very, very good, I just think Maryland or Kansas are a little better in the half court sets and interior defense that will make the difference in a close game. OU is 2-2 against them though, I certainly think they have a chance. Also, yeah, Indiana is no pushover either on the offensive or defensive end. OU could lose that one. If Coverdale can't play that could hurt Ind though. Maryland and Kansas I just think have the best combination of depth, size, athleticsm and half court sets. Those two are some great college basketball teams. OU and Uconn were probably right there after them.
did anybody see my first round score? damnit, next year, i am going to pick ONLY the first round. Then go to some corporate office and let the mail gir fill in the rest. This game sucks ass.
