Yeah, devdog69.
I need a life, also.

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

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!

Typical fan! :D

Ah, Chuck, they've only played two games in the South. :)

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...

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! :D

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.

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

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

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 :(

Every time I ask him what happened, he starts crying...what a wimp! :) Not really worried about it - gives me an excuse to get a new one...and to devdog and Chuck, I think there will be quite a few officials watching after yesterday...did anyone see the game where - with 34 seconds left - Burr was at the table for a really looonnnggg time looking at the monitor - the tv went to commercial and I had to go to class and missed what that was all about...seemed really strange...

Hey, kid -- quit acting like a 9-yr-old!!

He was checking to see if the shot had hit the rim, hence, as shot clock reset. It did barely glance the rim and they reset the shot clock from :19 to turning it off since there were only :34 left in the game, so it was a significant correction. It took the guys announcing a little bit to figure out why he was looking.

Got it...thanks devdog. I wondered at the time if that was what it was all about, but the tv guys confused me...that's what I get for listening to them!!
