“Reminder:

2002 results:
Arcboy- 2944
Dunk- 2942
Chili- 2929
Dayhiker- 2899

2003 results:
Bama Basketball GOD - 3045
cocoa - 3034
arclite - 3021
chili - 3020
arky - 2968
Dunadan - 2915

I wonder if Dunadan will make it 3 straight?”

“HEY, DAYHIKER!!! Everyone knows that engineers make things work out to their pre-conceived notions of how the world should work. This is no different. I was cheated and I think everyone knows it.
I would be up for keeping my own score, and I would surely be up for disputing anyone else's claims to being the winner. What do you say, folks? If you want me to, I could give all of the data to a statistician friend of mine.
Let's decide soon.”

“That friend wouldn't happen to be your alter ego that thinks he good at making basketball picks would he?


Each person can do their score and Dunny's "friend" can keep up with it too. It's not a big deal to set up a spreadsheet to keep up with all this. I'll cut and paste everyones pics into a spreadsheet and see what I come up with.”

“I just wanted to state the obvious.”

“cocoa - where is XZAVIER?”

“The only thing I get out of all this is that Florida A&M's chances really suck.”

“So, based on prior years' totals, my 384 million-plus oughtta do it, huh?”

“Well... we know it will beat Dunadan's total at least.”

“I knew that everything was different in California, but your math is different too?”

“I have 9 contestants and me as the winner entered so far. I've emailed arclite to come and attempt to regain his honor, but no reply yet. I'll be out of the office Thursday and will add anyone else on Friday morning. Monday morning I'll update the scores and post the point totals going into the Sweet 16.”

“Hey Violin, I said I wasn't griping at bowlder, just curious about Miss. St., so go back to doing what you do worst, making donut jokes, you...you....!!!!!





Okay, I'm alright...must keep control....count slowly to ten stick, keep it together.”

“Wow! Two upsets before the games start.”

“Lol. So glad I can keep you entertained. So then, why did you put Ky. at the top spot and miss such an easy chance to toy with the pitiful basketcase??”

“They won my coin toss against UCONN.”

“Well, I am as loyal as the next UK fan, but I'm also a realist. I don't think they have the staying power to go all the way. It may turn out to be overconfidence as bowlderman stated.”

“Stepping out there with Murray St. and Texas Tech, eh?”

“Haha, I thought the same thing. Of course, Red will probably win the whole thing just because he was brave enough to make those predictions!”

“Redhawk, do you know something that we don't?
Can't wait until the games begin.
MARCH MADNESS!!!
Go KU!”

“Tomato U mercifully ended John Chaney's agony. Congrats Violin.”

“Have all you folks picking Puke to play in the final four heard that Duhon is injured? I feel so sorry for Coach Krqpwkjtmfcjswski, I really do.

St. Joe's is playing Liberty in the first round. Jesuits vs. Fundamentalists. Who will God favor?”

“To paraphrase Phil Martelli, God's got better things to worry about. (In response to fans telling him they were praying for the team to win, or maybe just praying for the team.)”

“Well you know that, and I know that, and Phil Martelli knows that. But does Jerry Falwell know that?”

“No.”

“So, when the Hawks spank Falwell U, God hath spoken!”

“God hates March.

"How can I get anything done around here with all this noise?!"”

“Oh... and thanks for your words Geo, but I really had very little to do with the win.”

“Yeah, but it was your team, ergo your rooting them on that made the difference.”

“It seems that me staying home usually makes the difference.”

“Well there ya go big guy! You did play a part. Gimme five!”

“"Coach Krqpwkjtmfcjswski"


You crack me up, Geo!”

“12 seed Manhattan is up by 10 over 5 seed Florida with 12:00 to go....”

“A few of us smarter prognosticators have Manhattan at 33 or 34.”

“Lead now 14 with 9:00 left....”

“Manhattan up by 17 with 5:00 to go.”

“Well, I suck. Oh-for-two so far, with Manhattan upsetting Florida and that jerk Knight's team beating Charlotte. 39 whole points in the TT game so far. Woo-hoo.

Finals so far:
Manhattan 75, Florida 60
Texas Tech 76, Charlotte 73”

“2 and 0. 91 points. Y'all can start your concession speeches now.”

“Damn you Billy Donovan, why couldn't you get it together for tourney time?!?!
72 points so far, and UTEP is giving MD a run for theri money...”

“Maryland escapes UTEP. Up to 80 points for me. Probably still in last place....”

“Never thought I'd be glad to see an ACC team win.
Maryland 86
UTEP 83”

“Enjoy it while it lasts, Doc. Here I come, mwahahahaaaa”

“I know. At least I'm 3 and 0 right now. With 140 points (I mention my points only because BowlderMan started it).”

“Yes, of course, of course, lol.”

“Well, I'm saving most of my points for the end, since I'm about the only one with Stanford in their top 10 teams....”

“The Crimson Tide just pulled out a squeaker over the Salukis. That puts me over the century mark. Finally.”
