Thanks BktBallRef.

Go University of Connecticut Huskies.

Wait? I'm being told ... What? Not this year? You're kidding? No? Never mind.

No Colorado St.
That is an outrage. I'm sticking with the College Invitational Tournament, thank you very much.

Of ALL the brackets in the country, what do you think the percentage will be of having KY winning it all? 60%? 65%?

I'm not being allowed into this year's group. Can see it, but rejoining last year's group is not gaining me access to this year's group.

BktBallRef Tue Mar 17, 2015 07:47am

No idea. It seems to be working for others.

Did you send in your entry fee to Mark Padgett?

tjones1 Tue Mar 17, 2015 07:51pm

I'm in as always!

Hope everyone had a great season.

All of CBS's had 56% selecting Kentucky.
I think the better question is, how many years before Calipari's wins get expunged by the NCAA due to violations?

Mark Padgett Mon Mar 23, 2015 04:59pm

Help in picking NCAA brackets

Great Job!!!!
 
Congrats Bad Zebra!!! Winner Winner Chicken Dinner. :p

Bad Zebra Tue Apr 07, 2015 09:18am

I have so many people to thank this morning...My mom, dad, the Academy, the amazing cast and crew that made all this possible.

You want to know what I'm going to do with the winnings? I'm thinking of betting it all on Tiger Woods to win the Masters this weekend.

Congrats Duke fans.

Well said!

Sigh Of Relief ...
 
The loud exhale, that you all heard Saturday night, was from everyone in Indiana, every Indiana alum, and every Indiana fan.

Looks like the guy who won the Tournament Challenge won't be collecting $20,000. He's in the 6th grade.

If you actually read the article you will notice that the winner does not automatically get $20,000 (which is in gift card form), but rather the top 1% of all contestants are entered in a drawing to get the gift card and other prizes.

You're just lucky I did not join the group. I finished with 1260 points and would have won the group. Oh Well. I didn't join any real groups this year and I wish I had, I would have won most of them I entered (Too many people picked Kentucky).

Darn. Wish I would have bought a lottery ticket last night. Those numbers they picked were the exact ones I was thinking about! ;)

PS - I lost my bracket - 1) Darn Villanova, 2) I NEVER choose Duke - guess I should about every 5 yrs or so.....

Riiiiight. If you would have joined, I wouldn't have held back the way I did (just to keep it competitive).

Amen,

The best way to know a stock is going to lose value lately is?

For me to buy it.

The last three stocks I have purchased have all done nosedives within a week of me buying them.

No I will not release a list of companies that I plan on investing in.

Never said anyone would automatically get $20,000. Just passing on what the headline said, prick.
