March Madness Fantasy on Yahoo!

[Starbreaker]

I still have 10 of my Sweet 16 picks left and 6 for the Elite Eight.

Damn Pitt.

Does anyone want to do the Second Chance Touney pick'em?

Yes, please.

 

[Skywalker]

Whazzat?

I already created a bracket. Picked Arizona to upset Duke on a lark. Don't ask me why. Some pundit was talking about Williamson and I thought--why not?

 

[Dorian Thompson]

Yes....Yes!!!! Go Arizona! I want that second chance bracket money!!!

 

[Adm. Bonz]

I'm out of the main bracket, best I can do is second.

This has been an ugly year for Pick'em. I guess parity has come to the NCAA.

 

[Dorian Thompson]

Dammit!! $%$^&*$#@@!%$# VCU is going to cost me my perfect second chance pick 'em. Effing play-in game team. 7 of 8 gets you nothing at the end of the day.

Okay, forget that. Ohio State just screwed up my ballot and FSU is making a comeback. Terrific.

 

[Adm. Bonz]

Unfreakinbelievable!

 

[datagal]

Damn.
OSU screwed me again.

 

[Pegaritaville]

My bracket's a mess, but I drew Kentucky on a $50 sweet 16 board, so I still have a chance to win $800 (I also drew North Carolina on both the $20 and $10 board). As long as either team from the east bracket wins it all, I'll be happy.

 

[Dorian Thompson]

Ahhhhh, I picked UConn to make it out of that regional on my second chance bracket. Too bad it got messed up yesterday by Ohio State losing.

 

[Dorian Thompson]

The funny thing was...I checked my second chance pick 'em this morning, and it still showed me in the 99th percentile. Which means that no one had more than 8 out of 10 right. It was looking good for me. I mean, how much of a chance could #11 seed Virginia Commonwealth have against Kansas? I watch Kansas cut a swath through the Big 12 every year, much to my displeasure. Kansas would have to miss half its free throws for VCU to beat them.

 

[Neroon]

Well, Kansas' shooting over all has stunk today... as VCU is 12 secs away from shocking the world again!

 

[Dorian Thompson]

I reiterate.

Shit.

 

[Starbreaker]

Nobody got the winner this year.

 

[Neroon]

Just when I thought I had my fill of the NCAA tourney and its "all about the money" way of life... here they go and pull me back in. VCU, a flippin' play-in team goes to teh Final Four... to play Butler!!!

I love it!!!!!

 

[Dorian Thompson]

Okay, Butler. Beat the Rams. If I can't win my bracket, I'll enjoy some sour grapes instead. I like Butler's nerdy coach. He's cute.

 

[datagal]

I guess everybody (about 99%) who had brackets are shot to hell by now.

Right now UNC is down by 7.

This is the year of the Davids. (Think biblical, people)

 

[Dorian Thompson]

I suspect the regular tourney pick 'em's eventual winner won't be a perfect bracket, no. If someone picked VCU and Butler in the final four, they're psychic.

Well, updating after the KY/NC game in the second chance pick 'em, I got bumped into 2nd place--98th percentile. Dammit. I was still 99th after the VCU win as I found out. I have Butler and UConn in my second chance final four.
