NCAA POOL?

[shadroch]

Whip out your crystal balls, folks. March Madness is here.

Simple little pool here.

Pick your final eight teams.

Thats it.

One point for each of the eight teams you pick that make it to that round.

In case of a tie,also pick who you think will LOSE the national championship game.

And just for even more fun,pick which team you think will lose by the largest margin.

If anyone can get all ten correct,I'll throw-in a couple of nice comics. If I get all ten right,I'll have won enuff money to give all the entrants a few comics.

Deadline Friday Noon EST.

One entry per person.

Well, I'm glad the deadline isn't until Friday at noon...gives half the field a chance to lose before my picks are due.

 

BTW, any Manhattan Jaspers on board? What's a Jasper anyhow?

FEAR THE TURTLE!!!!!!!!

 

Good job Sunday!!

 

Gators are playing here in Raleigh, and I've got feelers out here, there and everywhere to line up tickets. Unfortunately since Duke and Wake Forest are playing here also, it might be tough. But I can say this truthfully..."The Wheels Are in Motion" to get me some!

Still licking the wounds from two Final Four's ago, eh?

It was quite a good day yesterday! And a shocker to say the least. No NCAA Tourney games in my area this year. I usually try to go when they hold it here. Great time!!!!

 

ACC Tourney is in DC next year though! I'm going to try and get tix.

 

Bill, will post my "bets" after I get a chance to fill out my brackets.

You're talking the biggest loser of the whole tournament? I thought it was the biggest loser of the Elite Eight?

[shadroch]

plenty of time to edit your picks if you'd like.

I didn't realize that it was unclear.

I copied this pool from one I'm in in AC. Casino put up $25,000 to be split between anyone who hits all ten.

Of course,their deadline was before the play-in game.
