It seems no one hardly visits the sports section, so for more visibility, here's the POA bracket sign up info:

So far, it's just me and Nick. That's not really competition.

You have two hours to fill one in. Heck, if you're a lazy bum, you can even push a button and import a celebrity bracket. GO!!!
 
Wow! Richmond and Morehead St. sure surprised me!
 
I have Richmond into the Sweet 16. Go me!

Of course, I got just about everything else wrong today. LOL

I had Richmond, because, let's face it, any team in the SEC that is not Florida blows.

Thanks for signing up for our 3-way bracket, Skipp!

Gators folded like a cheap tent for KY in te SEC tourney.
SDSU is the sleeper.

Point taken. That is why I have the Zags taking them out next! :thumbsup:

I didn't see the whole game, but the Zags looked great in the paint working the passes inside. I think you're probably making the right pick there.

My bad; they have to take out BYU first. I still feel good about my pick. :thumbsup:

BYU is ripe for choking. I have Gonzaga over them in the next round. Take it from the man that's been stuck watching BYU all year long, and hearing Jimmer's name more times than hearing my own.

Note - UNM beat BYU twice this year. You stop Jimmer, you stop the team.

No doubt. SDSU beat them like a rented mule.

Bad news: Gonzaga's beating puts my southeast region completely into the crapper.

Good news: Pitt's loss does the same for everybody else. :tongue:

Yup, I had them (Pitt) in the final 4 :incazzato:
Right now, Notre Dame is getting it handed to them by Florida St.
(52-35 with 10:15 left.:crazy:

I had Pitt losing 2nd round, but to ODU. :mad:
My final 4 is still intact, but have lost 3 of 8. (WV, ODU, ND)
 
My final game was The Ohio State vs. Pitt with The Ohio State winning.

I still have a chance at the winner, but Pitt losing hurts me a lot.

Well I had the Zags there, so we're even.

I didn't know Florida St. had it in them!
 
I had Syracuse and Pitt in the Final Four. Dang.

My bracket is definitely busted at this point.
 
My bracket now looks like the St Valentine's Day Massacre.
 
Who would have imagined VCU vs Butler for a slot in the finals?

I know. When I was filling out my bracket, VCU and USC were still playing their play-in game, and I was thinking, "ahhh, what's the diff?"

LOL.

I bet aftermarket ticket prices for the Final Four just went down by 50%, though.

I ain't takin' that bet. The way VCU's playing, they could take down Conn or UK - and that would be something to behold.
 
It is interesting to note that of 5.9 million entries to the ESPN bracket competition, only 2 have the actual Final Four. Yup -- 2 out of 5,900,000.

I've heard that, but what I haven't heard yet is if either of those 2 picked every game right to get there.

I'll bet not. Most bizarre tourney ever. Strictly a reflection on a poor job by the selection committee, IMHO.

Okay, perhaps I overstated it. Razorgator is showing a little over 10% recent price reductions...
:wink2:

P.S. Speaking of that, they have a 400 level suite listed for $25k. How many POA'ers could we fit in there?!?! :idea:

So, are they sports geniuses or blind squirrels? :D
 
And a slow-motion end to this year's bizarro tourney: a final score of 53-41! :hairraise:

Fewest total points in a title game since 1949. Butler couldn't buy a basket in the second half.
