*sighs* I just looked the brackets over again.....My only chance now at winning would be to have UCONN take a tumble...that would take the momentum away from Bubba and Bent and leave me with a slim chance. That however is highly unlikely as UCONN would have been my second pick for taking the whole thing. They were looking really strong yesterday, even under pressure from Mizzou! Damn it anyways, I hate losing!

Actually that's not true, Bent needs Michigan to pull it out in the game that's happening right now. If they lost you might have a chance, although it would probably come down to a tie breaker.
Thank you for trying to make me feel better Bubbalicious! :gaes-orfantal:

And, then there were 3.
Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

Well Bent I think is untouchable......It's just down to who will be second place...Me or Tehol.

On the contrary, there are 640 possible points remaining. If I hit my national championship game and winner I'll win. That's 160 for both Michigan St. and UNC, and 320 for UNC winning it all.
It's the PPR that is key at this point, not we currently have. You, me, and Bent are the only ones with points still out there to get.

I'd just like to note that Bent is in the top 2500 brackets submitted, and there were well over 1,000,000 submitted. That is simply AMAZING, and I have no problems whatsoever to losing to a bracket that good.
Well done, Spaghetti Dog.

I don't know what to say....I really don't. Just really lucky, i guess. Good luck with your final four picks everyone....This is the first time I ever filled out a bracket...may have to do this again next year, lol....hate to say it, but I'm not really a basketball fan...but I might start being one now.

Well I said right from the beginning that it would be someone who wasn't a huge basketball fan that would win this thing. Hoosier, SB and I have way to many pre-existing biases going on to make our picks impartially! Good job with your bracket though Bent it is pretty awesome! Hoosier's right there's no shame in losing to a bracket like that! I'm just going to keep my fingers crossed and hope I can keep Bubbalicious out of second place. If UCONN goes all the way though there's no chance of that happening! We definitely have to do this again next year!

Just an FYI, I was watching the Rachel Maddow show, and she stated that there were over 5,000,000 BRACKETS SUBMITTED TO ESPN. Holy Crap! If UConn beats UNC in the final, Bent might finish top 1000.
However, Tehol, just so you know: I am not officiall eliminated yet. Beware UNC as champions, because if so I might take the whole cake!

OK, so Michigan State played awesome and beat the shit out of UCONN.
UNC played better than i've seen a college team play in a long time. Wayne Ellington looked like Jimmy from Hoosiers. Villanova played ok, but UNC just played phenomenal.
So Bent's still in 1st, but if UNC wins our boy from Indy takes it all. Who also picked BOTH final teams.
Impressive...most impressive.
They're both in the top 98.5 % of all teams. If HD wins he could finish WAY up there....Indiana blood I reckon. Or just one smart mofo.
