I'm in.

I generally lose interest after the sweet sixteen when the games get spaced out too far.

500 to the winner, no wager required, in other words, a free ride.

Does anybody know where I can find an NIT bracket contest?

Maybe faygo.com or something?

Glenn

Okay, I think we need more than 8 people to do this.

seriously. with all the NCAA nuts on here we should have 20-30 entries.

Who wouldn't want 500 of these beauties in their backyard scaring the family dog?

Glenn deserves 500 alpacas for tracking down a pic of alpacas humping....
Glenn

No, no, no.

It was a labor of love (and kind of fun, especially with the "safesearch" turned off).

you guys are weak. I know you have a snowball's chance against Glenn, but don't be a coward.
Glenn

I'm a nonfactor.

I've watched parts of about 20 college games this year, that's it. (Mostly Florida, Texas, Michigan & MSU and now, the NIT).

I do a small amount of research before filling out my bracket, but it's mostly SWAG's.
WTFchris
03-15-2007, 10:32 AM
That's more bball than I've watched. I've seen a couple OSU and Texas games, about a half dozen MSU and Michigan games, and that's about it.

I just checked out the scenario generator and so far so good for me.

I would have, but didn't feel like filling another bracket out.
Glenn

I usually like the scenario generator, but going through it now I hate it.

It's frustrating to know before the sweet sixteen even tips off that you can't win.

The Archdioscese is ahead of me and has the same exact final four and finals outcome, so even if everything breaks perfectly for my bracket, I still can't catch him.
WTFchris
03-19-2007, 11:26 AM
b-diddy is in the same situation with me. if all his picks go right I am ahead of him. Texas losing really hurt me, I had them beating UNC and Georgetown. I still have a chance though because there is a wide variety of final 4 picks.
Glenn
03-26-2007, 08:35 AM
Well the only FF team that I didn't get right was OSU, and I still think they are the weak link in this group.

Congrats to WTFChris or The Arch, that's what it looks like it has come down to.
WTFchris
03-26-2007, 10:30 AM
I've been worried the whole time about my picks (despite leading the whole way) because of my OSU pick. THey are making it close every time. Basically if OSU beats Georgetown I am in great shape. If not, Arch wins I think.
Glenn
03-26-2007, 10:33 AM
Per the scenario generator, MoTown and WorstBracketEver are still in it if things break right for them.

03-26-2007, 02:22 PM
Yeah if UCLA wins it all I think I have a shot. Still not sure why I picked them, unless I'm right then of course I knew it all long.
Glenn
03-26-2007, 02:24 PM
If UCLA wins, Denny's sitting on 6,000 alpacas.

Nice. I only put 50 on OSU, which means I'd only win 330 if they won. However, if they win I'd also get the additional 500, so I have 830 riding on them.

Florida wins >>>> 500 Alpacas for The Archdioscese

OSU wins >>>> 500 Alpacas for WTFChris

Man, I should have gotten in this. I picked the title game right. The board that I got in on I'm guaranteed 2nd place no matter the outcome because I'm pretty far ahead and I win the whole thing with a Florida win tonight. I was pretty excited, I didn't even know I was up until today.
Glenn
04-02-2007, 03:25 PM
WTFChris is actually in the 97th percentile on Yahoo.

He and b-diddy both have OSU over Florida in the title game, but b-d can't catch Chris.

04-02-2007, 04:43 PM
yea, i noticed after like the first day that i couldnt catch chris. we had almost identical brackets.

really took alot of fun out of this tourney.

Same here Trizze. Tre dominates the Swan Valley pool and Moodini locks up the one in St. Chucks. I picked 7 of the Elite 8 (only one I missed was A&M over Memphis), all 4 in the Final Four, and Florida over Ohio State in the title game!! YO!

Shopping spree........again? Yuuuuup!

Yeah, I picked Texas to win it all. Other than that I was solid. Came in 6th out of 30+ in the AHHS pool.
Figured that given the right matchups and any kind of support, Durant was the type that could carry a team. Apparently he's just Kevin Garnett.

Total BS. I had the most number of picks right and stupid Florida hosed me out of 600 alpacas with their dumb three balls.
