So FINALLY! FINALLY! the Kansas Jayhawks managed to not let me down. Every year I pick them to go far, every year they get knocked out. This year, I have to confess, I picked them partially out of sheer stubbornness. I mean I thought they were good, but some part of me [...]
Well that’s that. For the first time ever, all four #1 seeds have made it out of the regionals into the Final Four. Blech! The funny thing is, there were 2 games between 1 and 3 seeds, and 1 between 1 and 2 seeds, but none of them were even close. [...]
I thought y’all might like to see how my left knee looked a few hours after the previous picture.Lovely, right? I have to say, I’ve had worse abrasions (like the time I fell outta the car, yes:p) but this is one of the worser bruises. Unless I’ve misremembered — honestly it’s hard to [...]
I realized I made a mistake with the pointage. Well I never claimed to be any good at arithmetic. (That’s the official excuse.) Basically I added the total through Round 2 Day 1 to the Round 2 (Days 1 and 2) scores instead of the total through Round 1 (Days 1 and [...]
It seems as though there are a lot of you that think it’s better to be last than to be mediocre. Every now and then, there’s a change at the top, but it seems as though there’s a new person at the bottom every day!
Ant: 59
CT(!): 55
Seth: 53
Special K, Lew, Yut: 52
me: 51
Al, misa: [...]
We went to see a play this afternoon, and sat behind an old(er) couple. Partway through the play, the old man (who must’ve been somewhat deaf) said, “Did I fall asleep? Was I snoring?” to which his wife loudly (but not as loudly as he was) whispered, “Yes.” He snorted and then said, [...]
So the first thing is, Steve’s mail didn’t come through or something cos he thought he sent me his bracket but I didn’t get anything. So here’s his bracket so Yan can gloat or not, as appropriate. :)
He picked UCLA. Thank goodness not another UNC.
Since it was late, I’m using the late rules [...]
Actually, the problem is that where I picked the underdog (George Mason and Baylor, I’m looking your way), they lose, and where I pick the favorite, they lose (USC, I’m calling you out). Well, I guess if I can’t get the points, at least it’s exciting when Cinderella wins or comes close to it. [...]
With no further ado:
Al: UNC. He decided this all in 15 minutes this morning.
Anthony: UNC. I’m not sure how much of nothing he knows, we’ll have to see!
CT: Tennessee. After much “research” and “deliberation.”
Jimyo: Georgetown. I had to talk him out of picking UT-Arlington over Memphis! (His reply to my remonstration: “Ok, [...]
Hey all, the brackets are due tomorrow! At 12:15pm EST or 9:15am PST latest! So to the 3 of you who already turned in your work, thanks! To the rest of you, y’all better be thinking hard about your brackets! And as ever, I’ll help you out with 1 hint: don’t [...]
