| What really screwed me was Oregon - they were my darkhorse team to go to the Elite 8 I also tried to be cute and had both George Mason and Winthrop upset Nortre Dame and Washington St in the first round and both lost. On the bright side, I have WV going to the final four (via upset of Duke) and 7 out of 8 Elite 8 is still in tact. I will make a comeback!

| I just looked at the other top people's brackets...looks like because everyone made the same picks in the rest of the games today, I'm the official winner of the 1st weekend (first and second round) Now that we're (or will be shortly) down to 16 teams, will one of you wrestle the lead from me?  | ||||

| It looks like if UNC trips up, most of the brackets submittetd will be wrecked I know, they look like monsters today...but Arkansas was really really over-rated as a 9 seed, they are horrible, and ofcousre the play in game...cmon | ||||

| If Kansas beats UNC, its down to me and "i like cheese" (i forget who that is) who would vault from like 11th place to 2nd/3rd i could still lose the championship game to him though, if Texas wins tommorow and UCLA beats Texas, then I'd have too much of a point lead on another front, if just UCLA wins the championship, id beat everyone except Simius, i'd need UNC to lose before the championship game I like my chances with the Kansas game, but I'm thinking i need Texas and then UCLA...I think Kansas is going to beat whoever they face in the championship game However if UNC wins the whole thing...and UCLA loses to Texas/Memphis...I'll be down in like motivez territory  | ||||

| Everything is pretty much decided...motivez you ended up 2nd to last place My fiancEE will end up 4th or 5th...i was really hoping she was going to beat thomez, but I'll have that fine honor "I Like Cheese" is either going to be 8th place or 1st (championship games get too many pts IMO) I won in correct picks overall, and if Memphis wins I'll also win in points If Kansas wins, I'll be 2nd in points Either way, Thomez, you should have known UNC was over-rated, Villanova was a S16 team, and that Duke was going to choke early... ACC = teh suck | ||||

I chose Ohio State to beat Florida, but it didn't matter because I still won the pool by a single point! YES! This year, I sucked bad in all my pools. Quite disappointing.
