March Madness 2012 - 2nd Thread

Yeah, not sure what Michigan's deal was. Purdue had that game, but choked at the end, feel bad for Hummel on that one (even though as a Hoosier fan, I'm obliged to hate purdoo)

I figure if NC State and Wisconsin make the Elite8, things will be looking REALLY good.

 

I'm an Illini fan, so my bracket was wide open this year, though I made some favorable B1G calls. I'm rooting for MSU (brothers are alums) and Hoosiers (wife is an alum) from here on out.

 

My bracket is trashed. I can only hope for the coveted last place spot now. I didnt even care as long as my Tar Heels kept winning - until we lost Kendall now. Toast without him.

 

Right on. I'm a Hoosier by birth, Wolfpack by Alum....so it was a good weekend. Though, I didn't have the balls to pick IU over Kentucky or NC State over UNC (figured picking them over Kansas was ballsy enough).

 

What a bad final minute for FSU. There goes a Final Four team...

 

Gonna need some help! Need my Marquette warriors to represent to the final four and some help.

 

Holy crap. Looks like I need a miracle. According to the scenario generator, in order to win this thing I need Wisconsin over Syracuse, Florida to the final 4, Baylor or Indiana to the final 4, and UNC to be crowned champs. I know where my loyalties lie this weekend.

 

Well that knocks me out. Can't wait to send some fun stuff out on this one

 

Yeah....last night's games really hit me hard. I was 1of4, losing one of my final four teams (way to suck it up, Spartans)

It was particularly painful watching the last 15 seconds of the Wisc/Cuse game, when Taylor basically dribbled around the whole time and then heaved an off-balance 30 footer when they were only down 1 point.

Now my hopes rest where they should....on the shoulders of my Wolfpack tonight.

 

I lost my national title team last night, so it's now impossible for me to come in the top five. Sadly, it's also impossible for me to finish last, so it's beer-gathering time!

 

I watched zero college BB during the regular season. I knew from Sportscenter, etc. about Anthony Davis so I picked Kentucky to win. Other than that I went with teams who have good coaches and/or good non-freshman leaders. Filled out my bracket in about 7-8 minutes while on the phone with my brother doing the same thing. This has been a total shock (especially since I was in like 30th place after the first two days).

 

If Kentucky beats Kansas in the Finals, I'll finish in 4th place!!

 

I think I may still have a chance for some beer!

 

WHEN Kentucky beats Ohio State in the Championship game I'll come in first place if it's a low scoring game and second if it's a slugfest. I've got 126 as the combined score and iasanlee has 129.

 

We'll see about that...

 

Ohio State lost to Kansas by 11 in December at Kansas without Sullinger playing. Neutral site with their star player in the lineup = don't expect it to happen again.

 

This gets me in the "money," so I'll take it!

 

Would you care to place a brewager (see what I did there ;-). I have a $25 box side bet if you'd like the action, straight up.

 

It's on like Donkey Kong. I picked two beers from your top 50 Wants (sorted by rdev, highest to lowest) whose combined cost was $28. If Kansas gets lucky they're yours. All I ask on your end is when I win, you don't send me anything I have access to in MD.

flexabull - In the unlikely event DSlim71 is one of the overall winners and I'm not, please assign me to him. I'll add at least 44oz. to these side bet beers so I only have to ship one box.
