    @saluki2007 -  great story right there.  Small world, for sure.
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

    Done!
    Thanks for throwing it up there.

    The Buffalo responded and said the winner of the bracket challenge gets a free XL compliments of BGE!  So nice of them.  ;)

    Go 'Nova!!!

    I have Kentucky going out in the 2nd round to Wichita St. I basically picked a UK whiner's bracket based on the guidance of @Bgebrent and @YukonRon.  

    I hope they're right
    Wichita St. is legit. They could take us out. Hoping we can rise to the tournament occasion and go deep. Arizona will likely take out Puke. I hope I'm right too brother horn B)
    As a Valley guy, they are not the same team they have been the past 6+ years.  Overrated.
    Now you chime in. Where were you when I needed you?
    And the whining and excuses have begun.

    We are up to 20 participating. The brackets automatically close at Noon (eastern time) Thursday when the first game of the tournament starts. You can make edits on your selections until then. Good luck!!!

    Me too.

    The 9 people who already missed a game ought to hang their heads in shame. They don't stand a chance now.

    I have to tell you guys, I do historically bad in these brackets, but that is when money is involved.
    Since there are no prizes in this challenge, I expect to win it.  =)

    If I were a betting man, and I sometimes am, I would bet that we ALL lose at LEAST one game in our brackets before the end of the day. As long as it isn't one of your Final 4 teams you will still be in good shape for the tournament ;)

    You are almost certainly correct.  But for now I'm still perfect - along with 12 others.

    if your bracket is perfect you picked some lame higher seeded teams.  ND over princeton?  boring pick!  unc wilmington also had a good chance.

    I will refrain from viewing the carnage here til Sunday PM.  Can't change it up and I have a few brackets to lament over during the first two rounds.  But the larger challenge is making sure the remote's batteries don't fail for all the channel hopping with the multiple games.  And no I do not want a theater with four TV's rolling at once. =)

    ACC fans know not to choose Maryland.  Their traitorous souls come out to haunt them.

    For this one you should have used the mascot rule. A guy with a sword beats a turtle every time.
