As I said to Frank in the PM, if I thought even for a minute that "Don't miss the boat, be sure to quote" truly was offensive, I never would have added it as a signature line. My guess is Frank doesn't like it because he has previously criticized the "quote" function on the board and urged people not to use it, and this signature line rebuts his thinking. I'd love to know if he really finds it "offensive," or if he thinks using such a hot-button word will win him favor.

Frank and I have had flare-ups in the past. There's no denying that. The fact he's referencing them now as part of his being offended by "Don't miss the boat, be sure to quote" is puzzling.

When I PM'd Frank yesterday, I explained it was for the sole reason of not derailing another thread. If anyone would like a copy of that PM, I'll be happy to forward it.

Sorry another thread got sidetracked.

Okay, so Frank, why don't you just PM him back if you have anything to say, and the rest of us will all be better off. We could actually talk about cards or whatever the thread was about!

Vandy has been a choke team in big games all year, I kick myself for thinking they'd change.
Nova played today like they have the last 3 weeks- uninspired and miserably. They were lucky they squeaked one out and preserved some brackets.

Or the sound of many taking wagers on the kids in the playground having yet another slap fight. Let's start a new bitch thread for those that would like to continue with comparing the size of each one's little treasure. My bracket was done purely on name status only.

BYU finally snapped its 7 consecutive first round loss streak! It took double-OT to do it!

I took Florida, and lost at least one other game that I know of (notre Dame) I will need a good performance in the late games today to stay somewhat on track.

I wouldn't worry about it - with the way the scoring system works, so long as you pick the final 4 and the champion, you'll be fine.

Well, Rob and Frank are like Oil and Water...they aren't going to get along so I suggest Frank use the ignore list and I wish Rob would change his signature. I see no other reason to use that quote other than he knows it bothers Frank. I'm not going to make him change it (Frank's name isn't being used and I doubt more than 5% of this board's posters would know what it refers to except that Frank continues to bring it up), and I'm also not going to tell Frank he can't make anti-grading or anti-quoting posts.

My suggestion to Frank if he doesn't want to killfile Rob is to make an anti-Lajoie signature file.

Scott- Don't get down in the dumps. One year I was buried near the bottom after Day 1 and came back and won it. The key is for your teams which others ignored to make nice runs. I am looking for Texas to pull some upsets (I hate the Shorthorns but...) and other Big 12 teams like Baylor to make a strong showing.
Like Yogi said, "it ain't over 'till it's over."

Go Wisconsin and Marquette. As long as those Upper Midwest Super powers advance, my bracket will be just fine

. Great tourney so far.
