1. Patriots Upset Buckeyes, film at eleven

Go Patriots!

[fishwax]

4. they're off to a good start at least!

Ohio State looks a bit confused thus far ...

:kick:

[Bertha Venation]

27. Well, shit.

:(

2. I just checked the stats on Lynne's Yahoo Group

:wow:

I'm #2? Really? :spray: :rofl:

Don't think I'll stay there for long, but I'll enjoy my moment at the top while I can. :)

5. i'm at 13, which is at least better than last year

:)

Enjoy it--who knows, maybe it will last :) Last year (I think it was, might have been the year before) I was in the lead at one point early, but by the second day I was in last place to stay :rofl:

[WolverineDG]

9. I'm thinking of starting a 2nd chance group

so if you're interested, chime in :)

I'm usually on the bottom holding up the top myself.

[fishwax]

16. I'm not sure a second chance would help me, but I'd give it a shot

:)

[WolverineDG]

17. lol

me either, but at least there's only 16 teams to work with, so much less of a chance to really hork up.

Not that I won't anyway. :rofl:

3. I cannot decide who I like less...UofA or Texas

Can they both lose> :-)

[fishwax]

6. alas, that's one of the drawbacks of the tournament

nope, they can't both lose ... but on the other hand, they're both likely to lose eventually :)

[blueamy66]

8. Okay, then I choose the kittycats to lose today

and the horns to lose next :-)

[Ptah]

11. Bear Down Arizona!!

[panader0]

24. You're from Az and don't like the U of A?

You must live in Phoenix. Anyway, the U of A won and will go on to play Duke.

[blueamy66]

25. I'm an AZ State grad

We hate eachother....cept when the whole whacked out thing happened with Giffords....

I try to root for them, but, it's real hard! :-)

7. I think all my final four are still alive.

But I get really confused when I look at my bracket.

3 of them are playing today. My final 2 are Arizona and Illinois. My son picked them because I was born in Arizona and grew up in Illinois.

We're 25/42 right now.

[fishwax]

13. well, I hope you/your son are right about Illinois

:)

Alas, I think their run might end tonight ...

[rbnyc]

23. Sigh...

...sad to see they are cooked.

[JonLP24]

10. VCU has a nice lead going into half

[fishwax]

12. seem to be controlling the second half too

I had Purdue going to the Elite 8 in one of my brackets, but I hope that VCU can hang on ...

[fishwax]

14. Marquette beats Syracuse

They're now the third double-digit seed in the Sweet 16.

[bigwillq]

15. Don't remind me.

Another NCAA tournament. Another Syracuse choke job. :( At least I got to see one NCAA championship in 2003.

[pscot]

18. I really like Fla St

I'd like to know what others think of them.

[WolverineDG]

19. Well considering I had them losing to A&M

:rofl:

they kinda wrecked that part of my bracket. :grr:

If they go to the Elite 8, let's just say I hope they die to Kansas.

[pscot]

20. Check out the dance team.

They must be unique.

[pscot]

21. These guys have just destroyed

Notre Dame. Kicking Ass. "I'm glad we're only down by !!", the Irish coach at the half.

[fishwax]

22. Florida State will make four double-digit seeds in the Sweet 16 -- most since 1999, I think

:kick:

[WolverineDG]

26. Want a 2nd chance? Check here

:)


I've opened a 2nd chance group on Yahoo.

Welcome to Second Chance Tournament Pick'em!

You created a group called DU Second Chancers and added your bracket, 2nd Time around. Your group ID# is 8090 and your password is: bushstillsucks

I've allowed 2 brackets, just because. No prize for the winner of this group, cuz I'm broke, but if you enter the Yahoo contest, you could win $5000. Not shabby.
