While I don't really follow this (except when Michigan is doing well), it brought me great joy to see that school down south, in Ohio, ruin the chance that anyone would win $1 billion, and to do so by LOSING! I FREAKIN' LOVE IT!

Even though I always pull for the BIG teams in the tournament, it was satisfying on some level to watch AC miss that last shot... :evil:
Fermenting: Bucket 1 - Fresh Squeezed IPA; Bucket 2 - Empty

Kegged: Keg 1 - Irish Red; Keg 2 - Cream Ale; Keg 3 - Amber Ale; Keg 4 - APA; Keg 5 - Empty; Keg 6 - Empty; Keg 7 - Empty
The reason why the above list is so small Home Theater Build

I really like watching sports... never was a fantasy league kind of guy... and some of it has to do with my inability to navigate at times. I'm good at figuring things out, but this bracket I can't. As of last night, I was pretty much tied for the bottom. CrazyClimber was #1. Today, I can't seem to find where I am compared with others from the borg. Anyone have the patience to direct me?
All I can find is my bracket, and some standings, which doesn't include us Borg members...

I'm finding our standings here:
http://hb69.mayhem.cbssports.com/brackets/standings

There's a four-way tie for the top spot, and four others just one point behind, so it's a wide-open horse race at this point. It would help me greatly if Stephen F. Austin can knock off UCLA.

T8r Salad is looking like the top contender at this point, as he's one point off the lead and has the most upside remaining, by a fairly significant amount.
Crazy Climber:
I'm not particularly crazy (IMO), and I don't rock-climb. It's just the name of a video game I used to like to play, back in the 80's.

I don't really follow things, watched the Michigan / Texas game yesterday in the background with the sound off while company (also Michigan alum) was over.

Today I heard a sportscaster say that one scenario is Michigan vs. Michigan State in the final game. That would be amazing.

At this point, ANYTHNG is possible. They weren't my picked winner, but Florida will be tough to beat.

Could I SUCK any more in my picks? :lol: Wait...don't answer that... It's all downhill from here...

I went out on a limb with a few picks, obviously went on the wrong limb with the wrong teams... :D

My wife is actually kicking my ass right now. We play against each other...winner picks the resturant for dinner on a date night. Her total points right now is 40. She would be leading the Borg bracket right now. Can she play next year?? :muahaha:

My wife is kicking my ass...again... she is knowledgeable in college basketball, but uses very little in her picks. And it works... you know, better looking uniforms, had a great time near there, rock covers paper etc. :lol:

Hell, a blind dog can find his arse once in a great while. I can't figure it out how I won it but I will have a homebrew to celebrate anyhoos. Thanks for putting this together and I hope this blind old dog lives long enough to play next season. I love March Madness more than NBA playoffs. Hats off to everybody who joined in and to the UConn Huskies for playing the spoiler to many a bracket.

Salud my fellow players :thanks:
