Championship Monday

Wow, we're already off to a frantic pace. Love it.

Good to see they're letting 'em play ball and not bogging down the game with all kinds of whistles.

Here's how things will break down:

KU wins:
1st - Bill McNary (first two time winner)
2nd - Tom Hengst (great rookie entry)
3rd - Charlie Huber (2nd time in the money)
4th - Stefan Teichert (2nd 4th place finish)
Last - Eric's Wife (enjoy the beer)

Memphis wins:
1st - Bill McNary (first two time winner)
2nd - Tom Hengst (great rookie entry)
3rd - Andy Blum (1st time in the money)
4th -
Charlie Huber (2nd time in the money)
Last - Eric's Wife (enjoy the beer)

After paypal fees, etc, the total payout will be $1020, breaking down 600/250/100/50/20. Gripe all you want about last place getting paid near the same as 4th, but it makes things interesting for us chumps at the bottom!

Free basketball!!!! Where we come OT! Can this game get better?

Congrats to KU!

See ya next year.

Semi-Final Saturday

Well, I think Bill has this bad boy locked up. Even with 4 #1 seeds in the final four, it appears that we're still looking at routs. Memphis by 13 and it appears KU may win by 50 at this rate.

From Brigid:
nantz said it best - it's like KU has 7 guys out there (I think it was nantz)

So true. The Jayhawks are playing scrubs at this point. That big white guy that just punched UNC's shot into the 20th row isn't even KU's best big white guy.

Yep... that'll do it. The top two and last place spots are locked up. Andy can break into third place, I think, with a Memphis win.

Thanks for playing this year.
