i didnt get a box pool email this year.....the cat that runs it is being a little bitch and acting like six year old because of a blow up we had in fantasy baseball last year

i guess because i've been playing so many years i usually get the email straight from him, but i didn't get it either. so he took your friends off the list too? what a bitch.

i'd be willing to coordinate one if any of you want to start our own. i'm sure i could get enough to fill at least half a board myself.

so evidently, if anyone in my athletic department openly runs an inter-office pool, it will be the last work they do. ncaa says its instant grounds for termination. god, i love the ncaa.

there wasn't the crazy buzzer beaters but for the most part the games were good. 

the syracuse game was fun to watch with the controversy at the end.

whatever, i was off work, drinking at 1pm and watching sports.  i'll take it

yep...i had my first gin and tonic at 3PM and ended the night around 1AM at a korean karaoke bar with half of my clothes on.

i remember the syracuse game being fun to watch, and vcu being close most of the way. the rest is kind of hazy.
Title: Re: March Madness 2012
Post by: ice grillin you on March 16, 2012, 09:57:33 AM
to put up with the embarassing level of play in cbb there better be either a bunch of buzzer beaters or a bunch of huge upsets

ill watch any game if its the only thing on and im by a tv

otherwise ill watch the ticker for all the games and if it looks like one might go down to the wire ill put on the game...or if its in the second half and a massively low seed is hangin in ill watch

other than that....poop

QuoteThen came the announcement that only two of the 6.45 million participants in ESPN.com's bracket challenge still had perfect records -- mainly because of No. 15 seed Norfolk State's 86-84 victory over Missouri on Friday at the CenturyLink Center. Even U.S. President Barack Obama had No. 2 seed Missouri going to the Final Four.

FSU punched out last night to a Cincy team they should have beaten.

The good news is there's this juicy tidbit:

Quote"Some guys didn't know how to handle it, and they got away with some strips," Snaer said. "We just weren't concentrating and protecting the ball the way we should have."

Typical of these clowns especially Hamilton not having them drilled and prepared for exactly what they got.

Ah well... go different laundry, I guess.
