Bracket pool on Yahoo

[heelz2345]

Damn, I forgot to change Cal to Hawaii in this group. I did it in all my ESPN groups. Oh well, had them losing to Maryland anyway, so it won't be the end of my bracket if they lose a round early.

Welp, mine's done already. You all have fun.

16-0 is an impressive one-day performance, @Hark_The_Sound_2010. You've set yourself a pretty high bar there.

For some reason I do better with bowls than brackets. Never have been worth much in these.

 

[JuleZ '02 HEEL]

The nation's picks

Bump.

Bump.

Given how my bracket looks, I would have been ok without the bump.

Yeah, I'm not doing so hot either.

Ouch, is there a prize for finishing last?? Lol... Went out on a limb on a few picks and obviously not the right ones!!!!

I like your N. Iowa pick. Thought about that one myself, its the rolling of the dice as Texas can beat anybody or lose to anybody . . so I stayed away from that one.

Chattanooga over Indiana . . is an interesting pick.

Did anyone go with Iona against Iowa State . . ?

The bottom line is that to win these pools, you have to call for some upsets and have them hit. That's it. That's my strategy. Plus, only 3 of the last 27 years has a 12 seed failed to knock out a 5 seed. And of all the 5/12 matchups, that was the one I liked best. I don't have faith in Crean.

Nailed it.

Just my luck. I'm leading this one, but am way behind in my office pool which is the one that had money on it. I'm just hoping I get that championship pick right, but at least I have the lead after one weekend!

 

[heelz2345]

Well, in probably the most hollow victory of my life, I won this thing. Not much consolation for Monday night, but what can you do.

 

[JuleZ '02 HEEL]

9th out of 13. Well at least I wasn't dead last.

 

[gunslingerdick]

I honestly haven't checked any of my 3 pools since the Friday of the first weekend. I was done then.

 

[heelz2345]

I finished 4th at work. Our damn office cat jumped from last to 3rd after Monday because the rule was "pick higher seeded animal mascots" and cats trumped anything. So, since Nova is the Wildcats, that's what the cat had, while everyone else in the office had UNC.

I finished second in the only other pool I was in. There were 4 or 5 who would have jumped above me if we had won. Lo how I wish that had happened.

Ok, so I just checked. I placed:
- 10th out of 13 in ours
- 13th out of 28 in a small purse pool
- 19th out of 36 in a large purse pool

In short, I suck.

I'm not sure if I'm more amazed that a cat finished 3rd in your office pool, or that you have an office cat.

Please make this your sig line. TIA.

I want an office pet. Something exotic like a capybara or a serval or something.

Well, the cat was here when I got here, so you'd have to ask my boss about why. As for finishing 3rd, the cat had some saavy with some of the picks. Nova obviously helped, but the cat also called Michigan St. losing in the first round because Middle Tennessee's mascot was an animal.

PuppyMonkeyBaby freaks me the eff out! I'd probably shoot it.

I won the only money pool I was in but that was at work. We just started it last year and I won it then as well. It isn't really that difficult considering the competition.
