NCAA March Madness Contest

[BoSox34]

I haven't been around this site for a year, so I'm not sure if you have done this in past years but I think there should definetly be a march madness contest with as many posters possible.

[Cityofchampions33]

i suck at this

[BoSox34]

It is really a wild card, some people do it by mascots and win.

[KeepTheFaith1229]

Last year I picked Georgia Tech, I suck.

[jimmycarter05]

I got UNC!!!

[WildThing58]

If there is one i got B.C. Eagles!!

[BoSox34]

More than one person can pick the same team to go all the way, right?

[WildThing58]

More than one person can pick the same team to go all the way, right?


Yea I think they usually do brackets and whoever has the most correct picks wins.

[KeepTheFaith1229]

Okay fine, I've got Nova

[WildThing58]

B.C. > Nova

[jsinger121]

B.C. > Nova

i would not go that far

[KeepTheFaith1229]

B.C. > Nova

HAHAHA.

Nova > Everyone.

[WildThing58]

i would not go that far

I'm not being serious, but it could happen. I've seen bigger upsets.

[WildThing58]

HAHAHA.

Nova > Everyone.


HAHAHAHA UCONN is beating them as we speak. :harhar:

[KeepTheFaith1229]

HAHAHAHA UCONN is beating them as we speak. :harhar:

Oh my gosh! Down by 5 in the first half! Oh, and did we not just beat a then-first ranked UConn last week?

edit: down by 3

[jsinger121]

both teams are great teams and are very good bets to reach the final four.

[WildThing58]

[YanksHater213]

Duke
UConn
Villanova
Gonzaga

Thats how it goes.

[BoSox34]

So are we doing a contest or what?

[BoSox34]

You guys are obviously fucking retarded.

Duke
UConn
Villanova
Gonzaga
Texas
Memphis

Thats how it goes.

True, as much as I hate Duke, they are #1 right now but that doesn't mean they're a lock to win it all.

[KeepTheFaith1229]

You mean Reddick > everyone ?

No, I meant Morrison > everyone. You mean Redick? :lol:

[WildThing58]

No, I meant Morrison > everyone. You mean Redick? :lol:


You mean Morrison > Everyone? :lol:

You mean Reddick (the # 1 scorer in ACC HISTORY!) > Everyone

[YanksHater213]

ITS REDICK. Jesus get it right.

[KeepTheFaith1229]

ITS REDICK. Jesus get it right.

That's what I was trying to say. Wow.

[WildThing58]

HAHAHA.

Nova > Everyone.


Nice call on that one! :lol: Uconn has a nice double digit lead.

[KeepTheFaith1229]

Nice call on that one! :lol: Uconn has a nice double digit lead.

Did Reddick tell you that?

The game's not over yet, and we already beat UConn last week.

[WildThing58]

I don't care what Nova did last week, i'm talking about today.

[KeepTheFaith1229]

I don't care what you did last week, i'm talking about today.

Okay?

[BoSox34]

I don't care what you did last week, i'm talking about today.

.........

[WildThing58]

Uconn rules.

[BoSox34]

Villanova is great too, there's no denying that.

[WildThing58]

Nova can say goodbye to that # 2 seed and hopes of # 1.

[KeepTheFaith1229]

Nova can say goodbye to that # 2 seed and hopes of # 1.

Are you the Anti-Nova spokesperson now that they're losing a game?

[WildThing58]

HAHAHA.

Nova > Everyone.

[BoSox34]

Haha, yeah, thats what I was thinking, why so much hate for Villanova?

[KeepTheFaith1229]

What the hell is your deal? We beat UConn last week, we lost to them this week. You are a dipshit.

[YanksHater213]

.........
Simply an AMAZING post. Best one in talksox history, right there.

[WildThing58]

What the hell is your deal? We beat UConn last week, we lost to them this week. You are a dipshit.

My deal is you said Nova is better than everyone and they lost to Uconn today. So my deal is i'm telling you that you were wrong.

[KeepTheFaith1229]

My deal is you said Nova is better than everyone and they lost to Uconn today. So my deal is i'm telling you that you were wrong.

Every team in the nation has lost a game buddy.

[WildThing58]

Every team in the nation has lost a game buddy.

No shit. I'm just proving that Nova is not the best team in the nation and they're getting shit on my Uconn.

[KeepTheFaith1229]

No shit. I'm just proving that Nova is not the best team in the nation and they're getting shit on my Uconn.

Prove to me that UConn is better than Nova. We beat them last week, they beat us this week.

[WildThing58]

They beat Uconn in a close game at home, they got shit on at Uconn.

[KeepTheFaith1229]

A win's a win, a loss is a loss.

[RedSoxRooter]

If there's a contest I want Uconn.

[stocker323]

If there is a contest it probably will be for a custom title or something of that effect as after the Super Bowl SFOC told me that he would not be interested in supplying cash prizes for a NCAA or NBA contest. That being said I think we should run a contest through Yahoo. Everyone can easily fill out a bracket and whoever wins would win the contest, I also know that they allow many people to enter the contest. So instead of picking teams everyone should just fill out their own bracket, all that would be left is to figure out what the prize would be.

[yankeessuck013]

Yeah, totally agree Stocker.

If someone just picks one team, it wouldn't be as fun IMO.

[YanksHater213]

Haha, not only would it not be fun, it would just be downright retarded. Hopefully my brackets wont get blown up last year like they did with Cuse and Kansas losing early.

[yankeessuck013]

Haha, not only would it not be fun, it would just be downright retarded.

Yeah, I tried to be nice.

[BoSox34]

Simply an AMAZING post. Best one in talksox history, right there.

Hahaha.

[BoSox34]

Good idea, Stocker.

[YanksHater213]

Making that 2 posts instead of one was very necessary.

[BoSox34]

Man, shut the hell up, why do you feel the need to go to my every post and find some way to criticize it?

[yankeessuck013]

Fight, Fight, Fight





(I actually find it pretty funny)

[YanksHater213]

Fight, Fight, Fight





(I actually find it pretty funny)
Haha, you need to see that thread in fights from last night. I was tearing this guy a new asshole over absolutely nothing at all.

[BoSox34]

Yeah ok pal, you and your argument that racism is less of an issue than posting on old threads in a mesage board.

[MC Hammer]

Anyone who thinks Nova is better than UConn is kidding themselves, and yes I would have said that before they beat Nova today, and right after Nova beat them. The only team in the country better than UConn is Duke, and even as a diehard Duke fan I don't feel totally comfortable saying that.

Nova does have a good chance no matter what seed they get in the tourney because it's all about guard play in the tourney and Nova is all about guard play.

If the brackets are set up right Duke and UConn will meet in the championship.



BTW I'm up for doing brackets on yahoo, or where ever.

[schillingouttheks]

Yeah ok pal, you and your argument that racism is less of an issue than posting on old threads in a mesage board.
And like CrespoBlows said, you keep doing this on an internet message board. Go get involved in a REAL life issue. Darfur, SOMETHING. Stop sitting on your ass at home behind a computer screen telling someone you don't even know to stop being racist.

Anyway, should we supply links to show our picks in the brackets so no one has more than one bracket and can somehow cheat?

[YanksHater213]

If you do it on yahoo, they lock it like the day the tournament starts I think.

By the way if we do this, I will own every last one of you.

As I said Yahoo fantasy games puts everyone in a group and then we can put all our brackets in and it'll keep score for us. So we basically have to do no work except put our bracket in.

[stocker323]

If I remember correctly I had 3 of the 4 final 4 teams last year so I will own you once again.

[schillingouttheks]

Oh, right. Hahahha my bad.

[YanksHater213]

So what? Last year didnt count anyways, I didnt even try to fill those out I just put random bitches in.

[schillingouttheks]

Good God, my brackets got killed too. I had Syracuse going to the Finals and I got shit on.

[stocker323]

Of course it didn't :rolleyes:

Worry about yourself.

[schillingouttheks]

Worry about yourself.
Stop beating a dead horse.

[BoSox34]

What are you talking about, I just respond to what people say. I haven't started anything, so don't tell me to "stop beating a dead horse".

[YanksHater213]

You just dont know when enough is enough do you...

[BoSox34]

Is there a way to ignore YanksHater213....I mean...a hypothetical poster?

[stocker323]

Is there a way to ignore YanksHater213....I mean...a hypothetical poster?

We have an ignore list. But let's get this back on topic and seriously end this conversation. The other thread was locked for a reason.

[BoSox34]

Fine by me..

[KeepTheFaith1229]

Good God, my brackets got killed too. I had Syracuse going to the Finals and I got shit on.

You don't even know man. I had freaking GEORGIA TECH winning it all. Although I did get 2 of the final 4 right.

That isn't entirely accurate. What I said was, " Due to lack of time ( tax season ) and lack of personal interest, I have no interest in running any contests for basketball ( Pro or college ) or hockey ".

[schillingouttheks]

Haha SFOC, you do enough for this board and you're the most generous person on it.

I just want to give you another thank you for all you've done. With all your contests you've really made this place enjoyable in the off-season. I respect you so much for everything you do, as well as all the members here. Of course, this all goes without being said, but it's the least I can do to make sure you know how appreciated you are.

Thanks. I really do think we have a great bunch of guys ( gals ) and are fast becoming a site to be envied.

[BoSox34]

I'll be happy to help out with a march madness bracket, I think it would be great for the site.

[yankeessuck013]

I gotta think either Uconn or 'Nova is gonna win it in Indy this year.

That's right, I said it. Duke won't get one this year either, with their 10 McDonald's All Americans.

So Shoot me.

Likewise.

Who's running this thing ?

[stocker323]

Who's running this thing ?

I think I will since I know yeszir doesn't want to be associated with anything College Basketball.

[stocker323]

More details about this contest will be available next week and there will be an official thread set up in the contests forum. This thread has been cluttered with other stuff unrelated to the contest so I am closing this thread now to avoid confusion.

[yeszir]

Thanks, I was about to throw up on my computer.
