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.

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.
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!"reclegend22;716830 wrote:Haha no, I was not offended.

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.september63;716995 wrote:Good Luck Iron..............on 5 of your late games, anyways. LOL

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.

I have lost 5 or 6 games but nothing detrimental yet. Only 1 sweet 16 team in Louisville.

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.
