Lombardi Handicappers' Madness: Sign-Up Open

[Tuberski]

So you picked the higher seed in every bracket?

ACK!

[Zopperoni]

I did.

[Tuberski]

Not bad, I saw on ESPN that there were only 4 opening round upsets this year.

ACK!

[Zopperoni]

I needed a system to compensate for my college sports ignorance. It's paid off in the first round. Three of the four upsets came in the St. Louis bracket.

Actually, no, I didn't. That wouldn't have felt right.

HOLY CRAP!

Gonzaga is GONE... my bracket is wrecked (but Reismark's is the most messed).

[Tuberski]

I think everyone's bracket took a hit there.

EDIT: I see now, he picked them as champion.

ACK!

[Tuberski]

Yours is gone now Imran.....

ACK!

[reismark]

I've got something to consult after today's disaster... and all of a sudden, "not finishing last is a victory" becomes a perfectly valid sentiment, with Gonzaga and Stanford both gone, North Carolina on the way and Pittsburgh dangling on the precipice thanks to having to deal with a Wisconsin partisan crowd.

JRabbit, I wish you nothing but the utmost extreme pain and suffering for mercilessly destroying my hopes in one fell swoop with your utterly misguided decision to jinx me. May you and your prospective prognosticating spawn rot in the ninth circle of hell for all eternity.

"Chicken-fried rabbit with cottontail sauce braised in carrots... MMMM-MMMM!"

Thanks for your calm, reasoned reaction, reismark.
But don't you think that, if I had the power you suggest, I would use it to screw H Tower, the defending champion?

BTW, your pain is my pain. Check my brackets...
WHICH I KNOW WERE NOT JINXED BUT WERE MY OWN DAMNED RESPONSIBILITY.

(Oh well, at least I can still say -- GO ILLINI!!)

[H Tower]

I'll remember that -Jrabbit. How dare you ruin my 3peat?

[-Jrabbit]

I have absolutely nothing to lose, H Tower...

Perhaps I can find a way to take advantage of this apparent new-found power...

-Jrabbit, Jinx of Apolyton!!!

Move along. There is nothing more to see here.

Like I wuz sayin'

Duke, Connecticut, OK State, and Ga Tech in the Final Four

Wouldn't mind seeing GA Tech upset UConn in the final...that would make three different ACC teams as national champion in the last four years.

[-Jrabbit]

Tha Winnah!!!

Congrats, Adam Smith!

Scott Gailey was 2nd, deity dude 3rd. Defending champ H Tower in 10th...

Top 3 finisherswere the only ones to pick UConn...

Here's the link to the final standings.
