So NC beats MSU by 20 on Monday, leading by double digits after the first five minutes. This has been a (relatively) boring tournament.

Yeah it looks that way.

I need either:

Villanova to win on Saturday or
UConn to win the championship

to win the pick-em tourney.

Well so much for THAT plan. :roll:

I hope that does happen... then I can spend the last 35 minutes of game-time making my CD list!!!

Go Tar Heels!!!

Seriously, Seth Davis has sold his soul to some dark corporate entity behind either CBS or SI or ESPN because I've never heard about a book getting more press than his book about the '79 Championship game with Magic and Bird.

I can't wait to crown a champ tonight so we can stop hearing about that game for at least a year.

I've heard him on sports talk radio shilling for it, on ESPN, in the current SI, on HBO's RealSports, on CBS's actual coverage.

Just shut the fuck up already. We get it.

I'm mad at Michigan St for showing up. And at these announcers for ignoring that 20 minutes they were all picking Mich St to win because they're the "team of Destiny!".

MSU will let you videotape them.

Jesus this game sucks

Black Magic Putin · **Posted:** Mon Apr 06, 2009 11:48 pm

Not for me

I don't mind losing a CD as long as UNC won it all!

I guess I'll just sit and wait for Scott's payup thread.

I only saw the game intermittently in a bar, but isn't this pretty much how it happened? Nice call harry--with those kind of prognostic skills you should've completed your bracket.

Congrats husker.

I've been waiting to pay up for about a week. I'll keep an eye out for that payout thread. Congrats on being the new champ.

I love how all the articles I've read today have had white boy code for Hansbrough saying his performance was "workmanlike" or "businesslike". Just say dude is a baller and one of the all time great college players whether you like it or not.

FemDerris is a lifer Carolina fan (although I should note that in a head to head match up her loyalty still lies with UGA) so I was pulling for Carolina and Roy. I'd love to hear the recruiting sell now: Come play for Roy, get a degree, win a National Championship within 4 years or go play for Coach K; get a degree and get to play in the tourney.

All that being said, this tourney overall was pretty unspectacular to say the least.

Before I post my list, does it need to be for 12 or 13 CD's? I don't really think Harry should have to pay up since he never finished his picks, but I'll gladly take it from him if he and you all disagree. :wink:

You're the winner, so you get to call the shots. I think it is cool to let Harry off the hook.

You're truly classy.
Especially since past contestants have failed to deliver albums without having a legitimate technicality to use as an excuse. Hell. I was nearly six months late sending an album the first time I took part in it.

There is a difference between late and never, and I've been slack a few months on certain pools myself. Also, harry's is indeed classy, and I'd say that keeping it to 12 doesn't reward the brainfart as much as ignore it.

Scott, a heartfelt congrats, and where the crap is the payup thread?
