Alright, we broke 20!

J, hand me a Zima.

 

[Darth Elektra]

Wow, 9-0 run for the Gators.

 

[Mister J]

Alright, we broke 20!

J, hand me a Zima.

It was taking too long, so I had to slightly up the ante.


If they combine for 100, I might have to break out the 7-11 brand champagne.

 

[Darth Elektra]

I hate Noah...

Go Bruins!

YOu know...it's gonna kill me to see Ohio State v. Florida in the freakin Basketball Championship...life is NOT fair

And fran, it's a damn good thing I didn't bet you on the results of these games like I had planned to...I woulda been screwed by your superior team picking

I NEVER pick many upsets, if any at all... this year, my bracket is great. I was winning a Facebook pool (still might, not sure).

 

[Fran]

Good.... Gooooooooood.... [/Palpatine]

 

[Mister J]

Goddamn Gators.

Florida vs Ohio State. I ****ing swear. I haven't been this disinterested in a Championship game since Michigan State vs. Florida and since I hate Ohio State worse than MSU, this truly sucks.

[Darth Elektra]

Well first I want to say Congrats to Fran for winning!

Secont, Go Buckeyes!

*Im leaving on a business trip, Sun-Wed. So I want be on till a few days after the game.

 

[Fran]

Have fun.

Congrats to the refs for their valuable play in this game. They really stopped Arron Afflalo when it counted. They shut him down for the whole first half. The refs did a fantastic job in calling phatom fouls. They set the tempo and made sure we couldn't play D. Afflalo carved the Gators at the end but the refs had their way of using their whistles to neutralize the Bruins.

Good job refs but I'm rooting for the Buckeyes.

Congrats to the NCAA and CBS for getting their scripts just right for their football rematch.

Unfortunatley for the refs the Kevin Love era will begin in August and UCLA will destroy everything in its path.

**** you refs.

Well, folks, two pools under my belt. Due to Windows Vista, the first one went kinda rough for about two weeks, but ended strong.

Next up is the 2007 NBA Playoff Pool, and sign-ups start ASAP, if you want to play. Points system, etc.

Thanks for participating. It was great fun, and an honor to host this.

I will be doing it next year. Hopefully, we can get more than 8 people

THANK YOU, AND ADIEU.

 

[Tangled Web]

[Darth Elektra]

I hope the Buckeyes take the Gators to the shed.

I'd like to give a shoutout to the Michigan State Spartans Men's Hockey Team..

2007 NCAA FROZEN FOUR CHAMPIONS!!!

[Tangled Web]

Arron Afflalo is going pro. Damn. It looks like we're not going undefeated next year, but I do like our chances at returning to the Final Four.

Luc Richard Mbah A Moute and Lorenzo Mata finally won't have to play out of position because Kevin Love is coming in.

[Mister J]

Hansbrough, Ellington and Lawson are all coming back for the Heels.
I wish Wright was with them, but the guy is projected between 3-6. I couldn't really blame him he leaves.

I'm happy with Michigan picking up Beilein.

Miami ...has a kickass football season coming.
