tennis balls' March Madness Contest

[tennis_balls]

I'm not sure there are enough college hoops fans here, but if 9 more people sign up to my "league" at Bodog's March Madness contest, then they will put up $20 prize to the winner.

no deposit necessary, (though you do need an account there to play) and you have to fill out your bracket by noon Tuesday EST.

just look for the Bracket Buster Contest

my league's name is tennis_balls

league ID #16535
password: caveman

I hope nobody will see this as spam. I'm just doing it for fun and CM Hoops bragging rights. (and to lure johnsteed back to the stable)

I gain nothing other than the $20 when I kick major buttocks and win the league.

There are bigger prizes if you are an amazing games picker.

update

i just tried to fill out my bracket and they don't quite have it up and running yet....you can sign up now but CS said the brackets won't be ready for a few more hours

i see some guy named "swedemeister" has signed on.......no idea who that might be. i'm "corporate tool"

 

[winbig]

I'm in.....meatwad

 

[tennis_balls]

the brackets still aren't yet available......the bodog geek squad is gonna get a beat-down from Calvin if they don't get it together soon.

should be our SWEDE

btw: i only opened the thread, because i was pretty sure, you were creating a JS-Tantalos (got me...)

 

[Swede]

should be our SWEDE

It is! Mike wins the prize, a keg of ale!

I'm in for funsies and hope there'll be 10 of us or more in the end.

Huge caveat: my knowledge of c-hoops would fit in a thimble so I'll just back the biggest fav in every game

 

[mikepipe]

Heia Swede, Ale is great- but: do you remember the famous Tuborg porter?
I d prefer that.
maybe we meet in Kiel some day and have some of those ...

 

[tennis_balls]

ok......their bracket is working now.......when you make it to the end you have to put a number in the tiebreaker box......i put in "130" (that's the total score for both teams in final game i assume?)

i don't know that much on college hoops. i did the contest at ESPN which was much easier as they have a snippet describing each team as you pick.

 

[Swede]

We should indeed, Mike. I boat to Germany several times a year when there's a bigger auction or Oktoberfest-thingy.

Off to brackets, gonna be 8 for 8 in eastern, you'll see!

 

[tennis_balls]

I assume swede is picking Florida since Noah is part Swedish

 

[Swede]

Part swedish my bee-hind. My first guess would be either Uganda or Campuchea.

 

[tennis_balls]

still stuck on 3 entries right now. c'mon mousey. here's your chance to win $20 for the slots!

 

[tennis_balls]

it's a freeroll, dammit

7 more entries needed......even a Euro can do it!

signup now, biatches!

 

[soflat]

I signed up, but the computer screen I'm at right now is too small. I cannot pick teams at the bottom of the bracket.

[Swede]

 

[tennis_balls]

perhaps nobody will read this now that Dr Oppenheimer Swede has shared his knowledge.

last chance for Euros to sign up and prove to the world that they know what a basketball looks like.

last chance for johnsteed to get on board and prove he does not live in constant fear of t_b's superior basketball knowledge.

 

[Swede]

GO TEAM!!

Cough up the 100K Calvin, this is what a poyfect bracket looks like:

 

[soflat]

Oh man, you guys are in trouble. I am 3-0 already. This thing is not even going to be close.

My Final 4: Kansas - Florida - North Carolina - Memphis
That's a lock, bet the house on it.

 

[tennis_balls]

a skoka always beats a portcwene!.....everyone knows that!

 

[Swede]

Oooh, it's on now son! :gunmen:

And post your brackets ffs!

 

[soflat]

Read it and weep.

8-0 baby.

 

[tennis_balls]

grow a pair....pick an upset!

i'm not posting my bracket as people will just ride my coat-tails to huge wins at the sportsbooks

 

[Swede]

Well, I'm out...

Only 14-2 so far. Duke and VCU both went down 77-79.

Also had VCU as part of an 11-team parlay paying 26-1. B-ball is a stupid game

VCU is the team that beat Duke.

i think i've missed 3 so far......i had Butler and then I changed my mind last night

still confident of a league title and bragging rights which I can abuse for a year.


Coach K and Bob Knight knocked off in the 1st round. Yes!!!!! I had Duke to win that game in my bracket but I was still screaming at my TV rooting for VC to beat them. I still have Kansas and North Carolina to root against. Roy Williams is such a tool.

I attended Oregon for one quarter so of course I'll root for them. That reminds me, I need to check with their admissions to see if I got that credit for passing my swimming class.

 

[Swede]

VCU is the team that beat Duke.

Ugh, too many abbreviations + early in the morning = moran Swede.

I had Duke and BYU, BYU was the only miss on the parlay. I'll be in bed if you need me.

 

[soflat]

15-1. Duke really hurts as I had them advancing to the Elite 8.

This is not looking good. *grumble* damn that corporate fool *grumble*

 

[soflat]

I only have one team left. Looks like the fix was in this year.

But I do have both UCLA and Georgetown at 10-1 to win it all.

 

[tennis_balls]

who cares about the stupid tourney......look at those cheerleaders....UCLA is the clear winner.

technically, swede is the winner of the meister entries. slosh was a recruit from the full contact poker forum.

 

[Swede]

Technically, I kinda knew all along that I would emerge victorious but still....as they say, better luck next time fellas....
