Posted March 13, 200619 yr comment_5964 I will post the brackets later. Memphis indeed got a #1 seedand our first game is at 3 P.M. Friday. I think that is ET actually, but maybe CT.
March 15, 200619 yr Author comment_6047 I can set us up a bracket pool thingy on sportsline, but I bet nobody will do it but me as usual for here. So far on verious places I have joined like 5 contests. I may join with each AOL sn I have also. I will probably get every pick right if you ON SOME bracket or another, but the prob is it proabbly wont all eb on the same brackety contest! Didnt do espn though because the idiots have it where I cant even log in because of changing my pw back when I tried to log into FLB and the new pw didnt even work either back then. They are stupid all around on that site.
March 15, 200619 yr Author comment_6048 Wow, how tiring! I filled out 15 brackets. I picked Memphis to win it all in 14 of them. usually I vary them more. Maybe I will do mroe tomorrow. I dunno. I can do 10 for each aol name, 5 for 1 of their contests and 5 for theother. So on other usernames i could do like 34 more I think. But it is so tiring I may just not.
March 16, 200619 yr Author comment_6076 I ended up doing many brackets: AOL--- 26 times CBS--- 2 times FOX--- 1 time local one--- 1 time I believe that is all. So I did 30 brackets. I will tell my official one later where someone cant dumbly copy it exactly then get half my million bucks. edit: I did 1 more. So... I guess I ended up doing 31 or 32. Shoulda done 33 for a lucky #, but I am sick of feeling those out!
March 16, 200619 yr comment_6080 I only did 3. My Final 4 is Duke vs Memphis Illinois vs Villanova Memphis beating Villanova in the final 78-67
March 16, 200619 yr Author comment_6089 So far I have all of the games right on some brackets. As much as i dont like boston college because of Chad liking them, I had to root for them to win because I picked them everywhere. I'll try to put all my picks later. It is time consuming because it is so many games to post the winners of.
March 16, 200619 yr comment_6093 Pacific shoulda won. They just got tired during the second OT. They had their chances to win the shots just didnt fall. BC made a lot of mistakes down the stretch in regulation and the 1st OT.
March 16, 200619 yr Author comment_6095 Here are the picks from what I considered my bracket that I TRULY decided to eb my official one: ATLANTA ---------- 1'ST: DUKE, GW, Syracuse, LSU, WV, Iowa, NC State, Texas. 2'ND: Duke, LSU, WV, Texas elite8: Duke, Texas final4: Duke Oakland --------- 1'st: Memphis, Arkansas, Pitt, Kansas, SD State, Marquette, UCLA 2'nd: Memphis, Kansas, Gonzaga, UCLA elite8: Memphis and UCLA final4: Memphis D.C. ----- 1'ST: UCONN, UAB, utah state, Illinois, Michigan State, North Carolina, Wichita State, Tennessee 2'nd: UCONN, Illinois, North Carolina, Tennessee elite8: UNC and UCONN final4: UCONN MINNEAPOLIS ---------------- 1'ST: Villanova, Arizona (I actually think wisconsin dunno why i put arizona on my official one), Nevada (another I doubt), BC, UW Milwaukee, FL, northern Iowa, Ohio State 2'nd: Villanova, BC, UW-Milwaukee, Ohio State elite8: BC and Ohio State final4: Ohio State FINAL 4 --------- Memphis beats Duke UCONN beats Ohio State Memphis wins all. Wow I had Boston COllege going far in this one, so good thing they won. Those 2 with () by them I really think the ones in () will win. Now I am mad ebcause who knows if I did one with those AND all these others the way I ahve them.,... and that is the true way I wanted it. Some of those which I picked DIFFERENTLY on other brackets: Wilmington, texas a&m, southern illinois, cal, kentucky, washington, seton hall, winthrop, Bucknell, Indiana, Alabama, Wisconsin, Montana, Oklahoma, South ALabama, and Georgetown. So there are 16 matchups I flipflopped on some rbackets. Had I been smart I coulda figured out all combos and done a lot of brackets with better chances to win.
March 16, 200619 yr Author comment_6100 Tennessee made a shot almost falling over to get the lead with 0.4 secs. Then Winthrop threw the ball ALL THE WAY FROM OUT OF BOUNDS TO THE BACKBOARD ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COURT. So no time went off till it fell back down and winthroip had it right under their basket and missed it! If that shot had gone in it woulda been the biggest miracle ever in ncaa tourney history for sure.
March 16, 200619 yr Author comment_6101 omg, 2 brackets in the million dollar contest would still be perfect but I picked winthriop in those both. I have found a perfect one still in that contest where it must be perfect for a million. I will put my team names here where i remember which ones to keep up with: Memphis Nightowls Memphis Wins--- to stay perfect, the rest of today I need the following to win: duke, gw, texas a&m, lsu, illinois, washington, gonzaga, and indiana. Out of those I am worried about texas a&m, washington, and indiana. I frankly dont think they will win. Tomorrow, I would then need wins by WV, Iowa, Texas, NC State, memphis, arkansas, pitt, kansas, UCLA, UCONN, michigan state, UAB, UNC, Villanova, Wisconsin, Northern iowa, and Ohio State. Out of those I am worried about Arkansas and that is about it. My final 4 in that bracket is almost impossible to happen though. memphis, duke, Illinois, and Villanova. I dont even like Villanova or think they will go far! I have like 15+ more brackets I havent looked at but none ar ein the million dollar contest.
March 17, 200619 yr Author comment_6103 As you can see I made it through all of the first 16 games now still perfect. 1/4 of the way to a million bucks. I hope I make it through another day, which would put me half way there. So I need 4 upsets tomorrow. (the right ones, that is). http://www.fantasysports.aol.com/bracketma...?entryID=937704 Click that to see me. yay. I am tied for the top of course. With only 46 other perfect entries out of thousands. Only 2 others pick memphis to win, so if I finish perfect only 2 or less more could. I am listed as #13 there. The one called "jason" isnt mine unless I made another and forgot....
March 17, 200619 yr comment_6110 The link dosent bring me to any leaderboard. Just brings me to the home page. Sounds like your doing awesome. GL
March 17, 200619 yr Author comment_6113 So muchh for my million. The first TRULY unexpected thing happened. Iowa just lost to Northwestern State. And Wisconsin got crushed by Arizona to lose me another game. Now Arkansas fell to Bucknell. So on this particular bracket, I got the first 17 right and now missed 3 in a row. lol
March 18, 200619 yr Author comment_6118 I love how Paul is ignoring my emails now. He jumped on IM LAUGHING earlier claiming oral roberts was "beating us like a drum" when we were down by 4 in the first half and UCONN would be "winning by 20". And now UCONN is up by only 1 at half-time against a MUCH worse team than oral roberts. lmao. If UCONN were to lsoe this, the stupid media would still insist they are the best team in the country and "had an off night".
March 18, 200619 yr comment_6122 I was glued to my seat during the Uconn game. I wouldve loved to see Albany upset them and be the first 16 seed to knock off a 1. Plus they have the coolest looking unis in the tournament. Side Note to CBS. Your coverage this year sucks Chef's Chocolate salty balls. They leave the stupid Villanova game on when they are by by 14 instead of switching to the Memphis game. I understand broadcasting by region but WTF.
March 18, 200619 yr Author comment_6128 Was the Nova game the main one on there? Because what they did here was switch TO THE nova game when they were up by like 12 in the middle of our game! And those IDIOTS even switched to other games in their FIRST halves while we were playing still and in a close game too. I could understand if those games were near the end in clsoe games, but they were in the FIRST HALF and they made me miss a memphis 3 pointer and a memphis dunk by doing that! At elast by sweet 16 that crap will stop. I think only 2 games at a time during sweet 16 so not much they can switch to. Evem on Sunday at our 3:45 game, there are only a couple others around then to switch to I think.
March 18, 200619 yr comment_6131 Yea it was the main game here. Bige east plus the local team Monmouth so it does make sense to a point but gimme a break. I think most people watch the tournament to see the best games not local coverage.
March 18, 200619 yr Author comment_6133 Yeah but if they had switched the memphis game to something else for long I would have been annoyed. They should just have let espn broadcast some games where everyone can see all games.
March 18, 200619 yr Author comment_6137 Memphis was the only #1 to beat their spread. Paul sure looks foolish now about that particular game. I am still nervous though because the slightest messup ends a season. I know we can beat ANY team. But if we mess up we are done! And in the past years we always found a way to lose! So out of habit I fear even bad teams! Although really only once this year did we totally fall apart and lose. To Texas. In the UAB game it was a great game from both sides. In the Duke game, the same. So only once did we basically choke and not recover to win! I hope we at least make it to the final four! Kansas and Iowa were both beat Friday! If we beat Bucknell we WOULD have probably had to face Kansas. But now if we do, it will be Pittsburgh or Bradley. I hope upsets keep happening except I would prefer us getting to final 4 and facing Duke and UCONN.
March 18, 200619 yr comment_6138 Yeah but if they had switched the memphis game to something else for long I would have been annoyed. They should just have let espn broadcast some games where everyone can see all games. EXACTLY
March 19, 200619 yr comment_6143 Witcha State Wins. F*** Yea. Take that Bruce Pearl you sweaty MFer. I'm still thrill even though Illinois got bounced. 1 Final Four Team gone. I was at the bar this afternoon watching the Duke game. I sounded like Jason talking Memphis up to everybody because I was the only 1 to take them to win.
March 19, 200619 yr Author comment_6144 Well hopefully they dont get upset and make us both look retarded. lol It's tough because even for the bucknell game the odds have us only winning by 8. If we we then win I am guessing we would only be about 4 point favorites if we were to play Pitt, then maybe even not favored if we played UCLA next, certainly wouldnt be favorwed over duke or uconn. I have watched us all year and it is UNBELIEVABLE how well we can play. But i am not dumb so I am still nervous because anything can happen in these games! Our game time was moved to 1:15 my time Sunday and that is BS. They claimed it wasd at 3:45 first.
March 19, 200619 yr comment_6145 They did play well for the 2 minutes I got to see them. (CBS U suck) and nobody has really impressed me. This was the first time I saw Morrison play and he stunk. He plays so straight up I have no idea how he is said to be good. And whats with that pedophile mustache? Another great finish tonight. Alabama almost pulled off anotyher upset for me but there goes another bracket slot down the tubes.
March 19, 200619 yr Author comment_6148 I am going to be mad if they have stupid crap going across the screwen for it raining later today. We arent supposed to have thunderstorms, but we may have heavy rain and the idiots will probably put all this crap on there ruining the picture! I also will be mad if we dont win by 10+. We are favored by 8. I am nervous! I know nobody can beat us unless we take them lightly and dont try our best. But what if we indeed do that soon? I want to at least have a SHOT at the final 4. We havent even got to play a top team in the tournament yet. I am kind of hoping Bradley beats Pitt where if we do win today we will eb favored for the next game also! Then have 3 tough games afterwards. One prediction I have for today is that we will shoot free throws well. Last game we sucked and usually when that happens we make a ton of them the next game! Game in about 9 hours!
