Poll question: NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament : How many teams do you have left
This is first time EVER for me - I picked all 4 that made it into the Final Four - damn I'm good.

So I'm bragging (I'm talking to YOU Northzax)

So how many teams do you have left?

1. Since I had Carolina winning, I'd say I'm screwed

15. Same here
I picked UCLA, Florida, and Ohio State, and with six minutes to go in yesterday's game, I thought I had picked all the final four. I had UNC going all the way, and I am so disappointed in how that game turned out. :(

2. Less than you
I bow to your superior prognosticating capability. I am humbled and embarrassed.

I am not worthy of posting in the Lounge. (But I will anyway)

4. This is the first year I'm not in any pool that is paying out money
Because my picks are definately looking money.

Last year there was one that had about $250 and the last minute I printed out my DU picks. Definately was NOT money last year =(.

6. Georgetown
Edited on Mon Mar-26-07 09:05 AM by Jimbo S
I was 50/50 with Ohio State, decided to go with Louisville. Damn.

I'm limping along, but Kansas' defeat killed me. I had KU-GU in the final. Could have made up beaucoup points. This is my worst year in a quite a while. Oh well.

Congrats to Lynn and Jeff (not to be confused with Jeff Lynne) - superprognosticators. Got the next lottery numbers you two?

9. On my pool for money...
I have 3 out of 4. I would have had 4 out of 4 but I changed my pick from Ohio St. to Texas A&M at the last minute because I thought having 2 #1's and 2 #2's was too much of a chalk pick...and if I did pick Ohio St. I'd be right up in the mix for the money this year. Just goes to show, never change your picks because it will bite you in the ass!

11. Georgetown and Florida
If Georgetown wins the tournament, I win the pool.

If UCLA wins the tournament and Georgetown places second....I still win the pool.

16. Glad I didn't put money on it this year!
My final four was UCLA, Florida, UNC, and Memphis.

Only teams that made it from my picks were UCLA and Florida.

17. ALL FOUR!!! WORSHIP ME!!!!
Edited on Mon Mar-26-07 02:10 PM by SteppingRazor
As proof, I offer you my blog entry in which I announced my picks (you've gotta scroll down a bit, past the bit on Alberto Gonzales)

http://blogs.southflorida.com/citylink_dansweeney/2007/03/and_now_my_picks_for_march_mad.html

I've also called the championship to be Florida vs. Ohio State, a replay of the football championship — and I've got it coming out the same way as the football one, with the FLORIDA GATORS on top!!! :woohoo:

22. yeah, thats true.
But the way our point system is, Ohio St. is the only one that can earn me any more points....:D

And you must've been overjoyed when KU went down in a ball of flames....

28. I've got all four, but I'd trade one or two of them for a more interesting tournament
Edited on Mon Mar-26-07 03:20 PM by fishwax
This year's tourney has been a snoozer :boring:

But I have done well with my brackets--all four final teams, and I called all of the upsets in the first two rounds, except for one ...

34. I'll be the first to pick "other."
I have all four teams left for the first time in my life, but can't demand to be worshipped because I won't even win my office pool. I lost too many stupid games in the early rounds because of my failure to do any research (even into injuries - gee, Marquette was a smart fucking pick), has left me mathematically out of the running in my office. As such, even if Florida wins, winds up facing Georgetown and wins again, I'll still lose.
