The first quote was based off of the first round of play, moron. (title of thread)

Now, they have been playing good for 2 weeks.

Why didn't you fill a bracket? Too afraid to show you don't know anymore than the next guy.

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed :) . I have an idea. Why dont you throw out some assessments of your own. If you know so much, I would like to read a little myself as I do not have alot of basketball knowledge.

I'll take you response as a definitive "I don't have the guts to put my money where my mouth is." Also, two other points occur to me. One, unless I missed it, you don't appear to have entered a bracket. Thus, making you a blathering hypocrite. Two, if you can find any instance where I have shied away from making a prediction when asked, I'd like to see it. I put myself out there consistently. Where are your prognostications? Oh, that's right. You're just a fugazi tough guy sitting in the peanut gallery taking shots.

I got to watch a couple games today in airports, Tennessee winning in Nashville Int'l and Texas lose in DFW. Both experiences were nice. I was waiting to post that Bruce Pearl and Tim Floyd are THE MAN.

the onlyl game i've seen from start to finish was the Duke/VCU game, so that wasn't terrible.

i was at George Bush in Houston yesterday and caught the last 5 minutes of the 1st half and all but the last 27 seconds of the 2nd.....stupid stewardess wouldn't let me stay on my cell phone for 1 more minute to hear how the game ended........

longest 2 1/2 hour flight ever!!!

I must admit that I actually enjoy watching other people argue. Didn't quite find the humor in it when it was me and him arguing.

Sweet 16 Storylines. 1. Second year wonders. Bruce Pearl and Tim Floyd are both about three years ahead of schedule in their rebuilding projects. 2. David and Goliath. The last true Cinderella, Butler, draws Florida. 3. San Antonio Shootouts. Two great games in the Alamo City. 4. The Michigan Factor. Who will be the first Sweet 16 coach to be forced to deny interest in the job in Ann Arbor? 5. Beauty v. Beast. It looks like the red hot offense of Kansas is on a collision course with the meatgrinder defense of UCLA. 6. Oregon-Contender or Pretender? The Ducks have played exceptionally the last two weeks. 7. Return of the Rebs. How many times do you think we'll see video of Anderson Hunt and Moses Scurry over the next week? 8. Memphis. The Tigers get a chance to prove that conference affiliation doesn't matter. 9. Teacher v. Pupil. Ben Howland runs into old friend Jamie Dixon. 10. UNC-G'Town, redux. If form holds, a rematch of the epic '82 final is on tap.

i got to admit, i'm surprised just a little about USC. I thought TX would be their end. that was a big win for them. Oregon will probably beat UNLV and lose to FL, or at least that's what my bracket says anyway...

Memphis looked good yesterday, i got to admit. that game with A&M will be very interesting....

UCLA should be throttle Pitt. I still think they got lucky in not haivng to face Duke in rd. 2.

Team that has impressed the most, at least from what i've seen: Kansas. man, i got to see the 2nd half of that game yesterday, and they made a decent, not great, KY team look very pedestrian.

looking forward to Thrusday. we're going to get a real idea of how much we think we've improved since January against OSU. i think we have a chance against them on a neutral floor, and minus the VCU/Duke game there really haven't been any MAJOR upsets....could some of those upsets come in the sweet 16? hope at least one does.........:salute:

Making a jpeg of my pics for next round. You do the same, whoever does best gets $250 for every game better than the loser does.

Do we have a volunteer we can PM these to before posting? Don't want you stealing my pics.

Next round only for now.

I wonder if Michigan will go after Pearl if UT gets by OSU. Completely rebuilding UT and taking them to the elite 8 in only his second season is hard to top. Pretty impressive resume Pearl is putting together.

Why accept an offer that would not paint a full picture? If you don't include the point spreads, you can eliminate the Florida-Butler, Kansas-Southern Illinois, and North Carolina-USC games already. That limits the pool of games. Why would I agree to limit the field and give you a chance to get lucky? It's the same reason a good golfer plays an entire round against a hacker instead of a single hole. Talent wins out over the long haul. I offered a contest, you rejected it.

Getting out of hand. Eight games at $250 a pop for the difference in pick 'em? Can't we all just get along?

I didn't think you would back it up. Pussy cat.

You're the one who won't play a man's game. You hope to limit the field by excluding point spreads, have maybe one game different from me and hit that way. I tend to like to ensure there is as much skill as possible involved in my contests. If you're not man enough to play the games against the spread, go back to your little friends and your $5 bracket contests and leave the real gambling to the adults.

I'm getting on my flight back to South Florida. If you decide to participate in a legitimate contest, my offer still stands.

Also, why does anyone have to serve as a repository for the picks? If you choose to engage in a real contest, I'll post mine right here on the board for everyone to see.
