  1. I could have three teams in the Final Four and still be miles from winning this thing. You gotta get a 7 seed or higher correct, probably more than one of those in reality. Even the high seeds I liked ended up bombing out, so I was doomed before we even drafted
  2. You'd be guaranteeing a loss with one of your prime picks. Only my second time doing this, but I don't think anyone has taken both sides of a matchup other than maybe 1-4 seeds against their much lower opponents. When you're picking 5 thru 12 seeds, you probably want all of them to have a shot to win at least one game. The 13-16s are such long shots it doesn't hurt much when they lose.
  3. Forgot how this deal makes you root against upsets, other than your own. Can't believe Minny was the last 7-10 team on the board in our draft. I was about to select but of course Huck took them with no other middle seeds remaining. No idea how they've played Mich St but at least they're familiar with them...could rack up 20 points on Saturday
  4. ^ I was not in last year but that's a great point ^ - everyone be sure to keep checking the thread all the way through the Final Four, so you can see who won and where to send (or receive 😁) the funds
  5. We're definitely getting him next time. He loves the Eagles so much he wants to make sure he's free all of October and November to use his season tickets.
  6. $25 works for me. I seem to recall last time I was in, the guy with a bunch of 1-2 seeds won it. But he also had an 8 that made a long run so that was big. I think I would have won if Gonzaga had beaten UNC in the final which made that game even harder to swallow
  7. COLGATE And I'm out, thanks and good luck y'all @Huckleberry
  8. Saint Louis Univ. @HornOnTheBayou
  9. I'm out until around 6 pm CT now.
  10. Yeah, Jack Straw took the Coogs
  11. Welp, I have to go see family too, but I will have my laptop and shouldn't be delayed more than a few minutes if my pick happens to come up again. Priorities, people
  12. Selection Order for top of page
  13. Now we're moving.... FLORIDA STATE @Huckleberry
  14. Sorry, I am here to select IOWA STATE Now on to @HornOnTheBayou
  15. For the new folk - I've only been in once, a couple years ago but... We basically all do our best to make picks promptly on this thread. Like Capn will start by just posting "Abilene Christian" or whatever and then Goo will pick his team, etc. No. 8 Jack Straw will pick two teams and it snakes back up. The "play-in" games count as one team, you keep whoever wins (so type "Temple/Belmont" for example). We try to re-post the draft order at the top of new each page so no one accidentally picks out of order. As far as keeping it moving, everyone understands if you have a conference call, walk dog, etc. but it helps if you post here to let us know what time you think you can come back. Like I have a conference call from 9:30-10 am Central, otherwise I can probably be around all morning. Any of you veterans feel free to add to that...
