Any Interest in a Goodhunting Bracket Pool?

[LJ3]

Let me know and I'll throw one together!

[Chicken Dinner]

I'd be in.

[Buckrub]

If y'all really need someone to whip up on, I'll try it.

[LJ3]

I figure Posthole may give it a try and Willie since his boys are top contenders. I have a feeling he may pop in and look at the mess we've become more than we realize. Trav is a Badger lover too, I think? Eddie loves Ol Piss so he'd be sure to bet against 'em!

[DeputyDog]

I'd do it.

[Trav]

I am in

[BarryBobPosthole]

Yeppir

BKB

[Captain]

You guys are gonna look funny at the pool....

[BarryBobPosthole]

Already working on my tan!

BKB

[Buckrub]

Better hurry.

Hampton is leading Manhattan.

[Buckrub]

I'll take Hampton in the first game!

[LJ3]

OK, whoever wants in send me an email at lenjenkins3rd@gmail.com. We can decide the bounty, or lack thereof later.

[Niner]

<h1>NO!!!!!!</h1>

[Sunshine]

Well then I get it all, if I'm the only one that emailed him!!!!! Lol :p

[LJ3]

<h1>NO!!!!!!</h1>

Don't get yer panties in a wad, Niner. Not our fault UGA sucks at BBall :)

[LJ3]

We have 5 people so far. I anticipate an avalanche of participation today.

[HideHunter]

I asked my wife.. she said nope - she's "terrible" at those things.. I couldn't "name" five basketball teams (I assume this is basketball, right?) ;)

[Bwana]

Count me out even though my team made it to the dance.

[LJ3]

4 of us have picked brackets so far. Bucky sent me some crazy google+ thing that doesn't help at all. We had a couple other say they would play so if you didn't get the invite let me know and I'll resend it.

I say we go with a $5 entry fee and we all pay the winner by sending him Kwanzaa cards with the fiver stuck inside the card.

[Buckrub]

I sent to your email a "share" via Gmail of my official ncaa.com bracket. If you can't read it, take an IT course or sumpin.

[BarryBobPosthole]

Oh boy, here we go.


BKB

[Chicken Dinner]

Shakes head ruefully...

[Buckrub]

What? WHAT?

[Buckrub]

OK, for the technically challenged East Coaster In Charge, I copied it to a PDF File and emailed it to him.

Sheesh.

[BarryBobPosthole]

I guess if you have your own 'official' bracket, you're exempt from having to fill out any pesky entry forms for pools you want to participate.

Is pdf the industry standard or something?

[Buckrub]

Len said in Post #12 to send him an email. I did. No mention of an official bracket site. When that didn't work, I sent him a PDF of the one I TRIED to share from ncaa.com via email (per his instructions to use email). He said that didn't work either, and sent me a link to some official bracket spot, first I'd heard of that.

After he sent me the link, a bit ago, I'm too late per the rules, to enter. So, y'all go on ahead. I'd lose anyway.

[Chicken Dinner]

Dodged a bullet on the ND v. NE game. God, I love March.

[Buckrub]

Just pleased I don't have to listen to that blowhard, Vitale. What an idiot. Not one hint of credibility to be a bb broadcaster, and less than zero abilities at it.

I am going to like hearing Raftery on the finals.

[Buckrub]

And UAB just busted my bracket anyway, so.........y'all have fun.

Iowa State beat us like a red headed step child in December. Shot 70%+ on 3's, no turnovers.........now they look like doo doo.

Welcome to March.

[BarryBobPosthole]

And now I have yet another reason to hate Iowa State. What a ubnch of rubes.
BKB

[Chicken Dinner]

Me, three...

[LJ3]

Bucky tried but he couldn't get it in when it counted :)


4515

[BarryBobPosthole]

Bucky, how does it feel to be in the 8th percentile of Goodhunters?

BKB

[Buckrub]

I didn't enter a bracket. I got the instructions too late and it wouldn't let me enter.

But this is not far off what I would have scored, anyway.

[Buckrub]

Oh, and it feels pretty good. It's an all time high for me.

[Buckrub]

It's OFFICIAL.

Big 12 Sucks.
Baylor held the ball with a 10 point lead.
14's rule!
All brackets busted.
3's suck.

8 percenter looking better!

[Chicken Dinner]

And, Baylor goes down in flames...

[DeputyDog]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that got messed up already.

[LJ3]

dang
4520

[LJ3]

Though, I'm the only one with enough common sense to know Kentucky will win it all so I feel good :)

[Buckrub]

Texas may be next for one of the two Can't Count Conferences.

And the Picky Pukey Pundits complaint that UCLA didn't deserve in, is in the lead with 13 to go, by 8.

Might do well to put teams in a hat and draw out!

[Chicken Dinner]

Sorry, Len. Kentucky may end up winning. But, I'm not going to spend the next two weeks having to root for them.

[Buckrub]

Too bad my bracket didn't import in time.

I had Ga State over Baylor. I had Ole Miss. I had Notre Dame. I had Arizona. Iowa St. killed me.

[Buckrub]

This is hilarious.

Genius Pundits......."UCLA DOES NOT BELONG". Yet, at 11, they win.

[Buckrub]

New rule.

If your team plays in the NCAA Tourney, your uniform has to have your last name on it. In big letters. Not your next to last AND last name, just your last name.

I don't know y'all. I wanna know who I'm watching. SO, new rule.

Deal with it.

That's all. Back to your regularly scheduled programming.

[BarryBobPosthole]

You didn't have anybody in your pool, because like 1/6 of the known world, you are mentally challenged.

BKB

[Buckrub]

Yeah, and your mama dresses you funny. And your conference sucks. (so does mine, except for one).

I have a bunch of people in MY pool. Just not any in YOURS. I doubt you got any left anyway! I had Ga. State at least!

Another new rule:

If there are 4 TV stations showing games, it is illegal for all four to be in a commercial time out simultaneously. If they are, the teams that have been in time out the longest, has to immediately begin play.

P.S.
Thank you Direct TV for having a 'Last four channels' button on the remote.

[Buckrub]

You didn't have anybody in your pool, because like 1/6 of the known world, you are mentally challenged.

BKB

In which 1/6th of the mentally challenged world are the conferences with incorrect mathematical names???????

[Buckrub]

News Flash:

PIGS SUCK!

[Chicken Dinner]

Wofford actually beat my Wolfpack and was ranked earlier this year. So, they're the real deal.

[Chicken Dinner]

Wolfpack!!!

[Buckrub]

In the two pools that I am in.........I'm in 56th percentile at NCAA.COM (My standing is 496,032, I'm guessing out of 1,000,000 or so!), and in the other one, in spite of picking GA STATE (WOO HOO ON ME), I'm still DEAD LAST!!

I always am. I can't pick BB games.

[LJ3]

The early leader... he picked Croaklahoma so we know his sentiment is getting in the way of logical decisions. He will be dethroned soon enough. Prolly by ME!
4541

[Buckrub]

Even if I HAD gotten in, I'd be dead last. I have 6 winners total! COUNTING Ga. State!

[BarryBobPosthole]

15/16 of my Sweet Sixteen are still in it. Point spreads are a different story. I'll bet its wild in Vegas this year.

My Sooners looked good last night! All the way baby!

BKB

[HideHunter]

Just heard that of the 11 million brackets submitted to ESPN - there is 1 - count 'em one.. that is still perfect. Maybe I should have got in and just guessed. ;)

[Buckrub]

Rece Davis turns out to be a bigger idiot than I am!! UCLA in Sweet 16!!

[DeputyDog]

They have a good coach. It's hard for me to say that since he's one of them damned Hoosiers though.

[Buckrub]

COME ON CINCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO GO GO

[BarryBobPosthole]

I'm perfect so far today. Have the Piggies over the Tarheels as my upset pick of this round, so Bucky don't let me down! No pressure!

BKB

[BarryBobPosthole]

Nova went down to Hank's Wolfpack.

BKB

[Thumper]

Sheeesh! Youse dufes need to get a life! Too much tv is bad for your eyes. I know, ' cause my grandmother told me so. ;)

[Buckrub]

Congrats, HANK!!!!

Piggies playing equal to UNC, but anything possible second half.

[Chicken Dinner]

I had to miss the game because I'm camping with my younger boy in his first Scout campout. Good stuff!

[DeputyDog]

Your pack just fucked me. I had Villanova making the championship game. Thanks. Congrats though seriously. I wish my Boilermakers would have done as well.

[Buckrub]

Congrats, Cappy. Just a better, more solid team. We need more shooters and fewer ballet dancers.

I'll watch the rest, but mostly, it's time for the Cardinals.

WPS, and Good Night.

[Big Muddy]

Piggies drove to the basket only two times in the entire second half....relied on the 3's too much, and hit very few of them....it was still a good fast-paced game to watch.

[Buckrub]

Same story all year. For some reason, an "open" three couldn't be turned down. By anyone. I don't get it. They are not a good halfcourt team, so why think they can shoot threes?

Two coming in next year should help, and we are finally, after fifteen long years, respectable again. That's all I ever wanted. 2nd in SEC, POY in the conference, 27 wins, make the tourney with a decent seed...........a good year. And only 2 seniors. And those two had 10 turnovers last night.

[BarryBobPosthole]

They play very similarly to Oklahoma this year. When they slow down and pass to open up better shots they can get to the paint much easier. They also have the big men to do it. Being a transition scoring team though its hard not to try to drivea stake in the opponents heart with a quick three. Its a discipline thing that comes from experience.
And coaching.
BKB

[BarryBobPosthole]

Duke got puked. Hank oughta be a happy boy this round.

BKB

[Chicken Dinner]

Que? I thought Duke pretty much made SDSU their little b!tches. UVa, on the other hand...

[DeputyDog]

It's hard to bet against Sparty this time of year. Izzo seems to always have his team ready for tourney time.

[Chicken Dinner]

I'll be real interested in seeing the Kentucky v. WVa game on Thursday. Like a typical Bob Huggins type of team they really tried to intimidate and get under Maryland's skin last night. (And, it worked.) I'll be curious if that has any impact on the Wildcats.

[Thumper]

Youse dufes need to get a room. ;)

[Big Muddy]

From Kentucky's media guide....I guess they think everyone else are idiots. ;)

EE leet Eeediots

[BarryBobPosthole]

The tems that beat WVa this year in the Big 12 were the ones who play three and four guards and hamdle the ball really well. That wasn't Maryland's forte obviously. It will come down to whether Kentucky can win a 60 point game.

I know who I'm rooting for! I may even burn a couch if they win!

BKB

[Chicken Dinner]

Having burned a couch or three (and even helped loot a beer truck) back in '83, I can tell you it's right good time.

[LJ3]

Thanks to Bucky to not get his picks submitted so I can NOT be in last place. Clearly, I know squat about NCAA hoops :)

4544

[Buckrub]

I have 7 of the 16 in my NCAA pool, and potential 3 of the Final Four. I'm in 44th percentile.

However, you COULD have made me look worse if you had only sent me the instructions PRIOR to the tip off, instead of "send an email to Len" and nothing else.

I am beginning to believe that possibly you are in Management.

[LJ3]

I am beginning to believe that six people read the exact same words and only one person took an action different from the rest. So you're in the 1/6th percentile in that bracket :)

[Buckrub]

You can believe anything you want.

Your post #12 says, and I quote "OK, whoever wants in send me an email at lenjenkins3rd@gmail.com. We can decide the bounty, or lack thereof later."

I sent you an email. I got told "no, that's not what to do". NOWHERE was I told anything about a special place to go register and fill out a bracket UNTIL the tip off had passed.

Prove me wrong.

[Sunshine]

I emailed him, just to mess with him.
Carry on! :D

[Chicken Dinner]

So much for WVa's experiment in pushing KY around and trying to pressure them.

[Captain]

So much for WVa's experiment in pushing KY around and trying to pressure them.

Ain't that the truth! They got their azz spanked.
NC came close and looked good till about 5 to go and it just got away from them. It was a good game however.

[No-till Boss]

WV folded like cheap underware

If Notre Dame can play like LAST night, they might actually push Kentucky. They were like 9/19 from 3pt land.

[LJ3]

Wooo! I'm not in last place anymore!

4567

[DeputyDog]

You're welcome!

[Trav]

Who is in first

[LJ3]

fuckers
4569

[No-till Boss]

fuckers
4569

The funny thing is, Buckrub is DEAD last in ANOTHER bracket that he did actually makes his picks. What is the odds of finishing dead last where you make your picks, and one you didn't ?? LOL

[Buckrub]

100%

[LJ3]

Well well well.... Looks like our science experiment (along with control group, Bucky) has confirmed that I don't know jack shit about NCAA hoops.

4627

[Chicken Dinner]

You're all gonna be my b!tches for a whole year after the Badgers bring it home tonight!

[BarryBobPosthole]

I'd pull for Castro to win my second year in a row!

BKB

[Chicken Dinner]

Effing Dook...

[Captain]

Dook had it won before the playoffs started, just ask and Dook fan... 😁

[BarryBobPosthole]

Does this mean I win? Isn't there some sort of honorary title that goes along woth winning this?

BKB

[Captain]

Yes;
The Grand Exalted Poobah of the Malevolent Order of Bracketmaster.

[BarryBobPosthole]

Otherwise known by its nickname 'The Poop'.

BKB

[Chicken Dinner]

We're not worthy oh Poopmeister supreme! What'd we agree on besides bragging rights? I don't recall.

[Buckrub]

Man picks Oklahoma to win it all, and ends up winning.............

I pick what ends up 36th percentile among all of NCAA.COM, and get the instructions to enter here AFTER the tourney starts, and I get ridiculed.

Harumph.

Know what? I'm glad that's over. I was telling a guy yesterday "You know, we started watching Hog basketball back several weeks before deer season was over! And now it's half a year later, and it's finally over"........

[BarryBobPosthole]

The humor in it is you are still criticizing my picks and you were dead last. Must have been the fault of the contest rules I guess.

BKB

[Buckrub]

Well clearly!
