Dan_ref Nice work Stan - ya big dork! 🙂 Hey, here's a stupid question (I know, there are no stupid questions, just stoopid people) - how do you change the word "ENTRY" to something else? For instance Chuck's says something like "I wanna ref, not watch"...at 24% right he aint much of a watcher, is he? 🙂
BktBallRef I agree, that is a fairly unimaginative choice. Open your bracket and click on "Change Entry Name." I hope you can pull it off! 🙄

mick Originally posted by devdog69 I've been doing some research and have just discovered .... Yeah, devdog69. I need a life, also.
ChuckElias Ah, now I understand. I hadn't even checked the standings. I'm only 50 points back. I made fairly aggressive picks in the 5/12 and 6/11 matchups. Oh well. Plus the Salukis got screwed on a horrible blocking call. They should've gotten the ball back with a chance to win that game. Oh well. At least my South bracket is still intact! Chuck
Andy Helloooooo up there......... Greetings from the bottom....... I like Chuck's attitude, I'm only 50 points out of the lead! I'll get it all back when my 5 and 6 seeds make the Final Four!

rockyroad The frustrating thing in all this is that my computer at home is currently in need of repair - something about my 9 year old son and a can of pop, but I'm still not clear on all the details - and being a teacher, my computer at work blocks access to all "games and contests" - so while Chuck may be getting his BoSox a$$ kicked right now, at least he is in the game...sigh...
ChampaignBlue As a guest to this side of the board, hung up my whistle 10 years ago, I was just being polite and giving everyone a head start on me. Yeah, that's it, I was just being polite, sure, they'll believe that, wait, did I just say that out loud? Shoot.

Oops, sorry to hear about your kid breaking your home computer. A couple of yrs ago my younger son downloaded some game software or something and it hung the computer big time. Had to reformat the hard drive, I lost lots of important stuff and useless stuff - pictures, tax info, my recipes for boiling water...but look at the bright side: since your kid is only 9 you'll have plenty of time to get him back! 😀

Chuck Of course I was just kidding Chuck, I have no idea. It actually looks like Wake Forest could carry you far. As far as that charge, errr block call in the Missouri/S.Illinois game...OMG I am a Missouri fan all the way, but even I didn't want to see the game decided by a call like that, it was a charge all the way.

Oh well. Typical fan! 😃 Probably so. But did you see the call? I was watching it live and said out loud "Offensive!" The official came out with a block and I said "Really?" After watching it again, I think if it was anything, it was a PC. Very tough call, in a very critical situation. Chuck
ChuckElias Originally posted by devdog69 it was a charge all the way. As I just posted above, Dev, I agree. I don't like to bash the guys on TV; they're there for a reason. But even at real speed, it didn't even seem close to me. I wonder how he and the crew felt about it after the game. Chuck

Chuck I know how I would have felt about it after the game, I would have lost my lunch in the toilet. You are right, they deserve to be there and I thought called a good game up until then, but nobody will remember any of it except that last call. The only thing that gave him any out was that the Salukis got a good luck at a three to win the game despite that. I feel for him but I am quite certain he will be watching with the rest of us from now on 🙁
