2010 Pool Wraps Up Today

I'm fairly certain that the results of this year's edition of the Upset Pool rests with the result of the Duke vs Baylor game. If Baylor wins, the standings should remain the same. If not, Scot will win and Josh should take 3rd.

Go Baylor!

Grey's Anatomy

Apparently, on Thursdays @ 8, we have 2 shows recording. Neither are the NCAA tournament. Since our awesome TimeWarner service is only capable of handling 2 feeds, the cable box changed the channel from 'Cuse vs Butler w/ 1:35 to go over to &(*#ing Grey's Anatomy. Some quick hustle to the bedroom and I was able to catch the last :34 seconds.

Phew.

I should apologize to Wes Johnson. If you're not aware, I'm an Iowa State guy and so was Wes, until he transferred to 'Cuse. I don't begrudge him for it. He was a sophomore and the coach that brought him in just got canned. But anyway, I should apologize, 'cause my picks have all gone south this year. After KU went down, I hitched my wagon to Mr. Johnson, Boeheim & the rest of the Orange(men). Whoops.

14 people just lost their champion. Out of 125+ entries, only 41 people have a champion remaining.

Oh, and only 3 picked Butler. Nice work, Colonel McKeown, Bryan Baudler & Janie!

What a tournament!

This is shaping up to be a barn-burner. Just looking at the top 10 or so, its impossible to come even close to predicting a winner based on what teams each person has left.

The remainder of the round 2 scores are posted.

Good luck in the Sweet 16.

Football kicked my ass.

No way I'm going to be near a computer when these games are done. My bed is calling my name... Loud.

I'll update first thing in the AM.

I. Love. March. Madness.

Holy crap! I had KU in both of my brackets, but was unquestionably cheering for UNI. What an awesome game.

Unless I missed one, NOBODY picked UNI. This game will cost a lot of people a lot of points.

... including me.

44% of us picked the Jayhawks to win it all. Ouch.

Wow... and now Washington???

Second Round Coverage

Sorry I didn't get last night's late games posted until this morning. They're up now, though.

The first scores today might be posted a bit later than normal - I have football practice at 11.

Yup. Football practice! I get to hit people again!!!

holy crap was that an awful call.

a lane violation... in the ncaa tourney??? with 18 seconds to play? i call BS.

scores are updated. i'll post after the last game tonight.

lets go Gouchos!!! beat those buckeyes!

WIFI!!!

I fired up the computer and apparently, it has a much stronger wifi antenna than my iphone. Bonus!

Scores will be updated as soon as the Ga Tech / Ok St game finishes up.... and then again after this session wraps.

Unlike earlier today, we actually have a couple of decent ones going on! I can't wait for the TV to switch to NM St & MSU!

No WiFi

No wifi. Boo. I'll update after every couple games.

Day 2

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNN...

Not nearly as exciting as yesterday.

Anyway, in the spirit of full disclosure, I've added a couple of sheets after the deadline. Either they got lost in the interwebs or some email server or people sent it to the wrong address or whatever. No matter. There was clear evidence that they had the brackets completed on time and the one guy that vaulted to the top, Ben Johnson (probably still doing steroids like in the 88 olympics), will just as quickly fall off the horse, cause that bracket has A&M and BYU in the Final Four.

Also, I may or may not be able to update scores tonight. I'm going to a bar to watch this evening's games (and cheer against Ohio State). Not sure if they have WIFI. If they don't, I'll post the top 5 or so here on the blog from my phone. At least 3G works...

Time for a beer!

late games

I'm heading towards bed. Will probably watch the rest up there. No more updates tonight. I'll get you in the morning... or maybe in the middle of the night when our little stinker inevitably wakes up.

About half picked SD State & Wake. 11 went with Montana and 2 with Lehigh. I'm guessing not much will be terribly eventful for the rest of the night.

Wow... Ohio...

Only 3 people picked Ohio to win that ballgame - their sanity should be brought into question.

91 people had G'town winning in the next game, too!

Wow.

Murray State!!!

Big time!!!

Its so easy to forget how great these upsets are to watch!

Sorry I'm not very talkative. I'm still bitter from having to be on a 90 minute conference call that was supposed to take 30.... during the Villanova/Robert Morris game. Maybe when I get a few more beers in me!

First Round

I have finally sorted out all the early tourney problems and ironed out web publishing issues I discovered in the move to Office 2007... I've updated the scores after the semi-big ODU win over the Irish.

Florida & BYU are now in OT... I'll keep updating as games wrap up.

2010!!!

Phew... I just made it in the house before tip-off. Cuttin' it close this year, just like Nello who wins the award for the latest entry at 11:17am.

I'll start posting more stuff as I get the last of the brackets entered and a lot more organized...

You guys gotta take it easy on me. I got 50 yesterday and 34 this morning!
