my bad.  i typed them out on the thread yesterday and i guess never hit post.  i just went and did so.

[BigOrange1 6,440]

there is a surprising amount of variety in terms of who everyone picked to win it all this year.  thought it was going to be overwhelmingly uconn.  those of you who picked purdue certainly have some balls.

Ok first game of the tourney and I have an elite 8 team down 12 points. Lolz I’m an idiot

[NorthLoop 14,208]

Purdue fucks me every year, so I picked them to win it all this year. 

 

[TXSooner518 2,438]

I mean, no team has ever in history lost to a 16 seed and then NOT won the title the next year.

[LonghornSean 3,998]

ESPN has a cool perfect bracket tracker page. Always fun to see how soon they all get knocked out

You didn't name them with variations on BDE?  Lulz.

[Welshy 907]

51st place in the Surly bracket. Just leap-frogged 3 MILLION people. To 13millionth place. 

[Wilcox Cummingtonite 2,949]

Good thing I picked Kentucky to win it all trying to be contrarian. Cal is finished.

[Darth Tron 1,123]

I had them going to the Elite 8.  Hoping enough others did to where it doesn’t fuck me too much.

[LonghornJudas 1,097]

Well, that was fun. See you guys next year!

[TexLonghorn 5,667]

Bijan 15-0! Kansas' seemingly safe 21 point lead down to 4 though. 

[perfectchaos007 6,643]

16-0

 

 

 

[kingkoopa6 8,350]

Damn Bijan!

[Steelers Roll Left 1,174]

So do we have a winnings breakdown yet?  Does 2nd place get cash or a set of steak knives?

[NorthLoop 14,208]

I should get something for finishing dead last, because I know that's where I'm headed.

Best part about losing first round is you can watch stress free for a small fee

[Welshy 907]

Fucking SEC ass-raping my brackets. 

[Steelers Roll Left 1,174]

Top 10 in both offensive and defensive efficiency which history says is a predictor of tournament success.  Seemed like an excellent pivot pick, especially with Auburn ending up in UConn’s quadrant.  But……no…..

only three of us picked auburn in the shaggy pool. when i saw that i had dreams of a sweet 16 upset of uconn, propelling me to the top of the table. 

[Scraps 13,561]

IM TIED FOR 2ND????

But I don't think I have a lot of room for growth, but I'm rarely ever this high after the first weekend. (In the standings. I'm usually very high)

I just had the same thought except somehow I'm in 1st place. After that disaster of a first day I guess I somehow picked most of the sweet 16 right.

[Blotto 23,522]

Started the day tied for 43rd, and then in a stroke of genius I sorted by max points which moved me up to a tie for 27th. I'm making moves, bitches. 

 

[Prepuce of Doom 21,074]

Doomlet is currently in first place.

Well yesterday was a big dud, that means today goes perfectly. Right? RIGHT?

[Harrison Stafford 3,335]

Yesterday was soul destroying and taught me a very valuable lesson.  Don’t make bad picks.
