March 16, 20232 yr Author Reminder- nobody collects money. We all pay the winner $20 after it’s over. Nobody has ever welched in 6 or 7 years so no worries here.

I’d have taken Princeton if I knew they were available. I thought I HAD to take Asheville. Probably swing the contest. and with that gentlemen- we are done! good drafting. Good luck. Thanks for playing. Let’s just say I am highly pissed at myself right now. I blame my kids for me taking them to Sea World and being less than fully locked in.

March 16, 20232 yr Author Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. You are welcome Huck. Damn it. Predicted it even.

March 16, 20232 yr Author Not as bad as the other day when I bet Thunder money line against Sunday in a 3 team FAVORITE when I meant to bet Phoenix. I’m getting half senile in my old age.
March 17, 20232 yr Wait Princeton won? Life is super busy but that's awesome. Hoping for a final four run. Ha. Edited March 17, 20232 yr by Huckleberry
March 17, 20232 yr I've lost 4 and Big Orange has lost 3. Derka, Wulaw, and Ztejas have only lost 1. Huckleberry and Derka have pulled out to early points leads while the rest of us are eating varying amounts of shit. Edited March 17, 20232 yr by Prepuce of Doom
March 17, 20232 yr A complete lack of surprise. I knew they were top 5 in my ratings and a 4 seed so I figured they'd be up there.
March 17, 20232 yr Yeah but I had zero time this year to look at anything or adjust. I figured I'd end up with Tennessee and Marquette on this board because of that. Ha.

March 17, 20232 yr Author I put a lot of capital on Iona. Had them in my top 8 for seeded draft. Took probably 2 rounds too early here. Need this or I’m done in all likelihood.
March 18, 20232 yr You're welcome from all of us, @BigOrange1. I chose TAMU-CC because I thought it would be a great opportunity for karma to prove that it exists.
March 18, 20232 yr lmao i had no idea i even had fair dick in this contest until clicking on this thread. still don't think i'll win unless furman/fair dick wins another and/or kentucky/indiana make a deep run.

March 18, 20232 yr Big O with two of the three biggest upsets in the tournament and the points lead (39) but only has 4 teams left. Derka (35; 6 teams left, including his top 5 picks) and Huck (29, four teams, ranging from a 1 to a 15 seed) are closest behind, with Ztejas still in contention (only 22 points now, but has 5 teams left, all in his top 6 picks). The rest of us suck butts.

March 18, 20232 yr Author If Princeton and FDU get got in this round like I strongly suspect they will this will be by far the lowest scoring contest and lowest scoring winner we’ve ever had.

March 20, 20232 yr C'mon TCU you fuckin bunch of bitches. I like my chances if I can get four teams in the SS. I of course expect all of them to lose in the SS.

March 20, 20232 yr Big Orange and I are both out of teams. Zepol is mathematically eliminated - tops out at 73 if Gonzaga wins it all, and can't pass Derka at 75. Everyone else seems to be in some degree of contention just eyeballing it.
