Sunday scores

I'm not sure when I will be able to post scores from today's games.

For those of you not already in the know, Angie and I are in the hospital today and are expecting our second boy sometime this afternoon.

I'll post the scores as soon as I am home.

Testing... Testing...

Just trying out a blogging app for my phone...



Friday, March 16, 2012

finally, some upsets.

Nobody picked Lehigh.
Nobody picked Norfolk State.
26 Picked Ohio over Michigan.
Most people (81) picked Purdue.

As a reminder, only 40 picked my Cyclones. Shame on the rest of you.

Most importantly, now that a pair of #2 seeds have lost this year, we won't have to reflect on how Iowa State lost to Hampton as a #2 seed back in 2001.

New scores posted.

First Update, Friday

Welcome to the pool...

Sorry I'm just getting around to updating everything now. Life has been hectic the last couple weeks, but I have all the brackets entered now and that should help calm things down. Do me a favor and check the rankings to make sure I have all of your entries. If I missed one, I'll be happy to add it.

Thursday Game Updates...
  • 59 people chose to pick the play-in games, so about half. I'm leaning heavily towards skipping the play-in games next year to avoid confusion. There aren't any upset bonus points available anyway. If you have a strong opinion the other way, send me a note and lobby your case - I'll listen.
  • I'm pretty disappointed in all of you. less than 25% of you had faith in my Cyclones. You should all be embarrassed.
  • However, half of you picked VCU. Its a good pick, but what the hell, people???
That's all for now. The spreadsheet will be up shortly.

Damn, Butler!

Congrats to Butler, Mike Hames, Josh Kennedy, Bryan Kaplan, Jay Farnam & Brigid McKeown for picking it. What a game.

End of Day 1

Scores are posted. Some good games today! Can't wait to get home tomorrow to park my @ss on the couch and watch ALL of them tomorrow!

Some interesting pick trends
  • only 26 picked UCLA over Sparty. The big 10 fans were almost right!
  • only 12 picked Morehead State (13 seed) over Louisville while...
  • 69 picked Richmond (12 seed) over Vandy
  • apparently there are a lot of Big 12 fans out there - only 37 picked Cincy over Mizzou.
As always, email if you have questions...

Stupid "first four"

The addition of the extra teams hosed a shitpile of equations in my scoring sheet - yeah, the one that actually gets published to the web. So, for right now, the rank and current score ARE correct, but everything else has a big wrench in it. I'll fix it tonight, probably - just thought you should be aware.
