2010 Net54 NCAA Tournament bracket contest

[GrayGhost]

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.

For the record, FrankWakefield, I was a member of this board (and the one before that and the one before that) for many years prior to your arrival. I'm probably not the vintage card wizard you clearly are, but I know a couple of things about a couple of things. You complain about Rob running people off the board, well guys like you have run plenty of people off as well. I don't post nearly as much as I used to, but I still do read the board. Not as obsessively as I used to because it's still tough to get to the meat when you have to wade through so much crap like people constantly whining about someone's signature line. It's still worth it, though, because there is still an incredible wealth of knowledge on this board.

Oh, and I did go back and search for "official" quote threads. I found two that seemed like they might be the "official" ones and read through them both. You owe me 20 minutes of life.

The point is, I don't need to be "in the know" about whatever cat fight you and Rob have about quoting. It's clear that it's between you two and it sounds like he even tried to take it off the board and e-mail you privately, which you responded to by publicly posting a response on the board asking him not to you e-mail you.

Anyway, I hope you guys can figure out a way to co-exist without it driving you, and eventually everyone, completely crazy. There is still value in much of what both of you post.

Good luck.

Don't vote to float your boat with a quote or you'll surely get someone's goat!

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.

I really dislike Georgetown now.

WOW! Big East now 1-3!

Can't figure GTown out. They play 1-2 games every yr here in the Dunkin Donuts Ctr & Ohio has probably never been here!

[tbob]

What an embarassment for the Big East! If Nova hadn't lucked out they would be 0-4. Notre Dame, Marquette, Georgetown, who's next? I have Pitt and West Virginia going to the Final Four (and no further) so I hope they don't take the gas too!

Oh man, I'm hoarse after that UW-Marquette game... UW was down by 15 and came back to win it! I sort of feel bad for Marquette, I really like their team and style of play.

Everyone wrote off the PAC-10 this year, and its true there was no dominant team, but there were a lot of good teams like UW and Cal.
