March Madness Discussion.

[Tasselfoot]

Down to Hans or myself for the FFR Title. If Illinois wins, Hans wins. If UNC wins, I win. LD needed Michigan St to win and beat Illinois to win, but... that ain't happening.

UNC all the way baby!!!

[QreepyBORIS]

Illinois has this.

It's all about Chief Illinowec. Or, however you spell that.

[tnyhwk900]

Illinois will win. And you all know it, seeing how they killed Louisville.

[QreepyBORIS]

It was a really back and forth game until they raped Louisville throught their pants in the last 8 minutes or so.

NotSoFarOff: Me or Tass.
bjstrattonIM: What am I choosing based upon?
NotSoFarOff: But I guess that you want us both to lose.
NotSoFarOff: NCAA.
bjstrattonIM: Oh.
bjstrattonIM: idc
bjstrattonIM: BC's out.
bjstrattonIM: UConn's out.
bjstrattonIM: Villanova's out.
bjstrattonIM: Washington's out.
NotSoFarOff: I'm a little upset about that too.
bjstrattonIM: Arizona's out.
bjstrattonIM: Pitt is out.
bjstrattonIM: Duke is out.
bjstrattonIM: Kentucky is out.
NotSoFarOff: Washington I could care less about.
bjstrattonIM: So I really don't care who wins.
NotSoFarOff: Same with Duke.
NotSoFarOff: I actually despise Duke.
bjstrattonIM: Duke is the reason I hate UNC >_>
NotSoFarOff: But other than that, I like your teams.
bjstrattonIM: Basically, eveyone from the Big East is out.
bjstrattonIM: Except for Illinois.
NotSoFarOff: I'd like to see Illinois win, since they've never won before.
bjstrattonIM: Who is the only Big East Team I want to lose.
bjstrattonIM: This worlds sucks.
bjstrattonIM: *world
NotSoFarOff: Illinois or UNC. OPINIONATE.
bjstrattonIM: I hope the building is bombed by terrorists.
bjstrattonIM: ;/
NotSoFarOff: haha
bjstrattonIM: Although that would suck for St. Louis.
bjstrattonIM: Okay, I hope the building is gassed during warm-ups while no fans are there.
bjstrattonIM: And all the ESPN guys are out to lunch.
NotSoFarOff: Oh, that's good.
NotSoFarOff: How about the locker rooms?
bjstrattonIM: I'm assuming the whole building gets it.
bjstrattonIM: But no fans or ESPN guys are present.
NotSoFarOff: So just the players and coaches die.
bjstrattonIM: Yeah basically.
NotSoFarOff: That's light-hearted.
bjstrattonIM: I almost feel bad wishing death upon them because they're college instead of pro.
bjstrattonIM: Almost.
NotSoFarOff: You don't like pro?
bjstrattonIM: No, that's not it.
bjstrattonIM: It's that the college guys are doing it purely for the love of the game, as opposed to the pros where monetary compensation is a factor, large or small.
NotSoFarOff: Oh, alright.
NotSoFarOff: But you hate the teams regardless.
bjstrattonIM: Yeah.
bjstrattonIM: They can go die.
NotSoFarOff: And if they actually do die?
bjstrattonIM: Um.
NotSoFarOff: Wouldn't you feel a bit guilty?
bjstrattonIM: I take no karmic responsibility.
bjstrattonIM: >_>
bjstrattonIM: In fact, they should take karmic responsibility.
NotSoFarOff: THEY?
bjstrattonIM: For being ther reasons all the teams I like being out.
NotSoFarOff: So it's their fault they are getting killed?
bjstrattonIM: Yes.
bjstrattonIM: Karmically.
NotSoFarOff: That's an odd way of putting things.
bjstrattonIM: Also Lousiville can go die for beating Washington and then not losing to West Virginia when they were supposed to.
bjstrattonIM: Rick Pitino is allowed to live however.
NotSoFarOff: That is true.
NotSoFarOff: I hate Louisville.
NotSoFarOff: With a passion.
bjstrattonIM: I do owe the man pardon for once coaching the Celtics.
NotSoFarOff: So, if UNC or Illinois didn't beat the teams you liked, you wouldn't have wished death upon them. So, karmically, it IS their fault they will die.
NotSoFarOff: Suicide, in a way.
bjstrattonIM: Yeah.
NotSoFarOff: So, you won't feel guilty in the least when they die?
bjstrattonIM: Nope.
NotSoFarOff: Because, karmically, it's their fault?
bjstrattonIM: Right.
NotSoFarOff: But, your sure that you couldn't have stopped yourself from wishing death upon them?
bjstrattonIM: I'm sure.
bjstrattonIM: Off with their heads.
NotSoFarOff: Wait.
NotSoFarOff: I thought they were getting gassed.
bjstrattonIM: Metaphor.
NotSoFarOff: Not really, no.
bjstrattonIM: Fine.
bjstrattonIM: Simple phrase.
bjstrattonIM: I don't know what the term is.
NotSoFarOff: You know it's not too late to turn back, right?
bjstrattonIM: Maybe.
bjstrattonIM: I don't mind.
NotSoFarOff: Turning back, or killing about thirty helpless kids?
bjstrattonIM: I'm not responsible. ;\
NotSoFarOff: Even though, because of YOU, they will die.
bjstrattonIM: Clear conscience, baby.

PPR: 0

*tear face*

[JurseyRider734]

Ugh.

I want Illinois to lose.

I wanted MSU over Kentucky, though. And I wanted UNC over MSU...

Hopefully.

[GuidoHunter]

Illi-nizz-ois is going to take this. At least I can get one team right!

Oh, and even though women's basketball sucks beyond all reason, Baylor's in the final four as the lowest seed (#2).

I hate my life.

Somehow I just stumbled upon this thread NOW.

Every bracket I have made this year (quite a few, actually) was shot a long time ago. So screw that. I guess since Illinois is in the Big 10, I have to root for them. Sigh.

[igotrhythm]

Final record...34 correct picks out of 64 games. Not bad considering how weird this year was, right? I mean, MSU practically stumbled into the tourney, and their first match was the dreaded 5-12 against a hot Old Dominion team, and they end up going to the Final Four, among other shockers.

[Tasselfoot]

I'm currently at 44 correct picks out of 62 games, 45 if UNC wins. there are 63 games in a bracket pool, the play-in game isn't counted.

[dAnceguy117]

UNC is up by 6 :O

[HansSky]

Aye, congrats Tass and UNC.

But really, could they have missed any more threes at the end of that game? Meh, oh well.

Let's hear it for the start of baseball season!

[dAnceguy117]

That last three looked good >_< Sorry Hans, congrats Tass, w00t baseball.

[Tasselfoot]

Lets Go Phillies!!!

And, more than anything.... i'm proud of 45/63. 71.4% correct. Only 18 wrong. And 11 of those 18 came from Wake, Syracuse, and Kansas.
