The 2nd FFR Bracket Challenge?

Re: The 2nd FFR Bracket Challenge?

Creighton is getting destroyed.

This pleases me.

Re: The 2nd FFR Bracket Challenge?

Now that the Sweet 16 is fixed (Virginia leads by 19 with 8 minutes to go), who wishes we could just wait until this round to make our picks because the first 4 days are when most of the madness happens?

I sure as hell do. Anyone with me? Only 7 of my Sweet 16 picks are still alive, and I'm rock-bottom in our pool right now. I'd need perfect luck to get out of the basement (7th place is Emerald with a max of 87 to my 90, everyone else has the capability to hit triples)

I like it how it is. ESPN Insider helped me tons.

Re: The 2nd FFR Bracket Challenge?

I'd also like to point out that my East side is perfect so far.
Coincidence? I think not.

Re: The 2nd FFR Bracket Challenge?

har har har.

yea good on you for doing research, I picked blindly and just tried to dodge schools which have a recent history of underperforming. and also picked against teams I don't like

Re: The 2nd FFR Bracket Challenge?

Sic 'Em.

Well, my final four of Kansas, Nova, Zaga, and Wichita State isn't looking too hot.

BYU is the only Final Four team that I have eliminated. Still have UCLA, Iowa St., and Louisville with Louisville winning it all over Iowa St.

You decide which fits better!

Re: The 2nd FFR Bracket Challenge?

The last perfect bracket (which was NOT entered into the billion-dollar sweepstakes!) has fallen. On a side note, I'm digging the Calvin and Hobbes tuba.

So I went digging through my room and found my clipped-out brackets from 2008 and 2009. Surprisingly, it showed that I used to know what I was doing in the 65-team era. Both had 40 or more correct picks, and the 08 bracket nailed the Final Four while 09 saw me correctly predicting North Carolina to win it all.

Re: The 2nd FFR Bracket Challenge?

So, I totally would have joined this if I had been more active recently (oops) but nonetheless I did fill out a bracket and I am in a couple pools that could garner me some serious cash moneyyyy (aka only like $1000 rofl).

I took a lot of time doing analysis, but I think too much time was used at certain points and I ended up rushing far too many games and teams near the end. So much time in fact that the last 5 or 6 games of the FIRST (second technically but come the fuck on) ROUND I didn't even analyze the teams or matchups due to time constraint. Oh well.

Unfortunately my first and second rounds were not very impressive, got burned by almost every single close game (except UConn thank God). I am still upset about SFA, UNC, Texas, North Dakota St., Saint Louis and Dayton. Those teams were obviously good enough to get the victory, but I felt like those wins just should not have happened (but I suppose that's what comes with parity). I can't be upset with Stanford, Tennessee, and Gonzaga.. I just analyzed those games completely wrong, those teams definitely deserved those wins. Even Mercer was good in my analysis, I was just too afraid to pull the trigger.

Only if I didn't have Wichita State going to the final game... those sons of bitches at Kentucky... (KENTUCKY, YOU ARE NOT THAT GOOD FROM BEYOND THE ARC, but still GG). I still have Michigan State, UCLA, and Baylor left to make the Final 4, with Michigan State taking it all (like fucking everyone else). Luckily my final four isn't completely mainstream, so hopefully I can rack up the points over other's losses and win some o' that ca$h moneyyyyyyy.


Lastly, I was broken at the end of Saturday night. I am a huge Syracuse Orange fan and I support and follow the Oregon Ducks as well. Both teams lost in pretty shitty fashion at about the same time, and of course I had them both winning those games in my bracket as well. Very unfortunate indeed, but with Syracuse I really should have seen it coming.

Re: The 2nd FFR Bracket Challenge?
