  4. I can get it. When the HBCB came out, my initial reaction was FUCK YES SOUNDS AMAZING, but every time I have gotten it, it just doesn't come close to what the sum of the parts should be IMO. I wouldn't turn one down if placed in front of me, but BOB and taquitos are superior, as was the true king, sausage egg & chz on a jalapeno cheddar biscuit, may he rest in power.
  5. Last call! We have 20 right now so good prize pool!
  6. I thought we had moved on from that and that every entry is presumed paid for money. Someone can set up a free bracket if desired?
  7. BOTCH was my dad, shipped for him.
  8. In. BigOrange, you gonna do my "pick a team per seed line" contest? If so, we can just mark each other paid since both $25?
  9. Bama didn't play Tech
  10. We've already matched last year's 14 entries with 72 hours to go, let's go!
  11. In! I'll send you $26 and then you are paid up for my seed picks contest also.
  12. Since Feb 1, they are the 9th best team in the country.
  13. Thanks for running this! I'll take Duke, Gonzaga, Utah State, Kentucky, San Diego State, Memphis, Texas A&M, UConn
  14. Cross-posting from Gamboool board: OK, we are back in on this, we had 14 entries last year, hoping we can fly by that this year. PM me to make picks and get payment details. LFG! You select one team on every seed line (so a 1 seed, a 2 seed, a 3 seed, etc etc). You also pick a wild card team who is NOT in your original selections. So you will select 17 teams. The scoring is 1 point for a win in the 1st round, 3 for a win in the 2nd, 5 for a win in the S16, 7 for a win in the E8, 9 for a win in the F4, and 11 for a natty win PLUS the team's seed is added to each win. So you get 2 points if your 1 seed wins in the first round, and 15 if your 14 seed does. The First Four play-in games don't count, so for example you could pick the winner of Pitt/Miss State (either before or after they play in the First Four, totally fine for one of your picks to be "Pitt/Miss State", but can't pick one of those teams and earn points for the play-in win. $25/entry, must pay and make selections by tipoff Thursday. I will share the Google Sheet with everyone by end of day Thurs and will post my own picks in the thread before tipoff so everyone knows I didn't just wait for the best picks.
  15. OK, we are back in on this, looking forward to having a more efficient spreadsheet haha. You select one team on every seed line (so a 1 seed, a 2 seed, a 3 seed, etc etc). You also pick a wild card team who is NOT in your original selections. So you will select 17 teams. The scoring is 1 point for a win in the 1st round, 3 for a win in the 2nd, 5 for a win in the S16, 7 for a win in the E8, 9 for a win in the F4, and 11 for a natty win PLUS the team's seed is added to each win. So you get 2 points if your 1 seed wins in the first round, and 15 if your 14 seed does. The First Four play-in games don't count, so for example if Pitt vs Arizona State is a 12 seed play-in game, you could pick the winner of Pitt/ASU (either before or after they play, totally fine for one of your picks to be "Pitt/ASU", but can't pick one of those teams and earn points for the play-in win. $25/entry, must pay and make selections by tipoff Thursday.

  16. What was your fourth street card? Assume it wasn’t the suit of your AK? I don’t hate folding with two people pairing middling door cards with an ace also dead for your two pair draw. Reasonable chance at least one of them made trips, especially if they aren’t complete morons.
  17. Yep! Will be getting it off the ground in the next day or two.
  18. I have a pair for the show in Austin on March 24 at the Paramount. Aisle seats in Orchestra Right, row U, seats 1-2, easy access to beverages, etc. $120 for the pair which is what I paid. Super sad to miss, but my kiddo got a movie gig in Miami, and happy to miss for that.
  19. Definitely requires much more maintenance and precision to not overshoot the runway. Way more straightforward being housed by 1045 starting at 7, esp if you're willing to have booze in the parking lot rather than all beer.
  20. Exactly. When it's at 11 you get uncrowded fair from 745-915 or so, and then again after like 6. When it's at 230, there is no uncrowded fair.
  21. Guess it depends what you want and what you're looking for. I really enjoy having time at the fair when it isn't packed out elbows to assholes. They open the gates early when the kick is 11, and we get to the Fair at 7, drink in the lot, and are inside by 8, grabbing corny dogs and fried butter without wait. OTOH, at the 230 games, the gates don't open early, and every shitbird is there by the time stuff opens resulting in long ass lines and hot annoying days. Then after the game when it's 11, we can chill for a bit as people disperse, then enjoy more of the fair in reasonable crowds. But when 230, people hanging for a couple hours after the fair have everyone still onsite until 8-830, and it's much more crowded even until close. Plus 11-230 is a less hot window in the actual stadium than 230-6 is. Now, if you just want to go out and get shithoused Friday night and be able to sleep til noon, I guess sure, but I can do that any day. I wanna soak in the fair on OU-Texas day.
  22. That happening 30 days from me basically having a forced refi is why I consider stepping in front of a bus
  23. I was actually quite excited when it was 230 a few years ago because I thought it was going to be better, but it was a distinctly worse experience.
