I know people who would actually do that, so I know such "scumbags" exist. I like to think of them as just people who take it too seriously.
Haha no, I was not offended. I agree with you whole-heartedly. There was this kid I knew whose bracket pool I entered in college. I went to high school with him and he played in the same backcourt as me for two years, so I figured his tournament would be legit and that everything would be cool. Not having access to the master brackets, I had to rely on receiving updates of the bracket leaders when I saw him in class, as we never really saw each other otherwise. Well, I "led" that bracket pool the entire tournament until the day after the championship game, at which point he informed me that he had taken the lead at the end. LOL.

Never again will I enter a random bracket pool where some guy is probably just sitting there with an empty tournament sheet and a marker.

Yeah, I was invited into a pool this year by a guy I caught having two teams in a FFL league I was in. My answer: "HELL no!"

Just dropped another by picking 'Nova to get out of this round.

No worry, though. I had OSU beating them next round anyway.

Currently 16-4 ... with 3 of the 4 misses not making it out of the next round anyway (and the 4th only making it to the Sweet 16).

Doing much better today with a 7-1 mark through the first two sessions, but that still only puts me at 16-8 overall.

Took Xavier, Washington, Illinois, Georgetown, Carolina, 'Cuse, Kansas, and Purdue tonight.

LOL. Thanks. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see Marquette, UNLV, and VCU win. All of those have the potential to be close games.

Missed 1 game so far. I didn't watch much college basketball this year, no way it even remotely holds up.

there are only 5 perfect brackets left on espn, 3 have UNLV.

Of the 2 that will stay perfect, both have Washington and Georgetown.


Good chance there are 0 left.

Helped me tons. I had Butler beating Pitt in that game. I moved from T-201 to 25th in a 900 person bracket challenge.

My only misses on sweet 16 teams are Xavier and St. John's so far.

Well, I lost my first Final Four team with Syracuse losing to Marquette. I doubt either of them would be in the Sweet 16 if they weren't playing each other, but that's the way it goes.
