    Yeah the ACC was bad bad bad 

    I fucking knew it. Still picked them, becasue I'm a fucking sheep (no aggy).

    To quote Charles Barkley 3 minutes ago: "Let's get something straight. The ACC is bad, bad bad."

     

     

    EDIT maybe you said 3 bads. Barkley said something similar if not that. :)

    Hey all, 

    I'm also running the contest I ran last year, which isn't a pure bracket contest. Instead, you pick one team from every seed line, plus a wild card of your choice (so you pick 17 teams total). 

    Scoring is 1 pt for a round of 64 win, 3 for a round of 32 win, 5 for a Sweet 16 win, 7 for an Elite 8 win, 9 for a Final Four win, and 11 for a natty. PLUS each win gets a bonus of the seed of the winning team. So say your 12 seed wins its first round game, you get 13 points (1 for the win, 12 for seed bonus). Note that the points don't start til the round of 64, so you can take, say, Texas, as your 11 but you don't get points for them beating Xavier in the First Four. (You can take Texas/Xavier as your 11 and you get whoever wins, you don't have to specify).

    $25 entry. Had 27 entries last year, hope we can pass that. DM me your picks by 12PM Eastern on Thursday, March 20. I have a Google Sheet I will send out with rosters and a live leaderboard, though I'm traveling to Seattle on Thursday and have a pretty extreme schedule through the next Thursday, so be patient.

    I fucking hate this contest. Hate. It.

    I watched "my octopus teacher" on netflix a few years ago, so you could say I'm a bit of an expert on our eight-legged friends.

    I read a Sci-fi book that dealt with the descendants of octopuses in the far, far future. I'm not an expert. But oracle? Who's to say?

     

    Pigs got personality, and that goes a long way.

  4. Just watched the Novak/Alcaraz match. Amazed. 

    Me watching time left in the recording vs current score:

    But a few thoughts:

    Watching the juxtaposition of absolute athleticism with absolute precision was amazing. Truly special. 

    Fucking Djokovic: "injured" after 8 games was hugely demoralizing and infuriating. I texted my sister (phd UT 1996) - Djokovic is healthy, Alcaraz is healthy, it's amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

    "Ok, nevermind. Djokovic is hurt. Again. Old assed cunt slapper. Watch Bridgerton or something. 

    20 minutes later:IT'S ON!!!!

    ,

    Speaking of amazing tennis, I watched Nadal Djokovic last night. Longest final in history. I'm kinda stunned by the difference in mentality then vs now.  No medicals, no massages. No timeouts. Most importantly, the intensity on each and every shot. It was stunning. No one got "overwhelmed" by serving for the match. No excuses tennis. Point after point. For 6 hours.  Put's Novac in perspective. He won 3 majors that year. 

    Love tennis. Sucks everyone else is figuring it out. :)

    In for one. I was a little cocky last year when I said I was using all y'alls money on whiskey. This year, I just want to go back to kicking my family's ass

     

    @Knoxtnhorn

    Exactly why I didn't say I would continue to take all your money after pillaging ass in the Bracket challenge.

    I will, but I didn't say it.
