I'm not seeing any 12/5 upsets. Possibly ODU, but I'd never bet on it.

Are you guys tracking live-time scores Here or are you watching or listening to it on TV/radio?

I'm doing both -- have the web site up here and also we have a TV in our department and we're watching all the games (one of the bonuses of working in a male-dominated environment)

Frisco? I think he was referring to the #5 Alabama, #12 Wis-Milwaukee....

Picked the wrong 12 over 5 upset.

I assumed that meant you picked one besides Alabama.

I should've said I don't expect any more 12/5 upsets.

Right, and your post seems to imply that you didn't see that any have happened, when in fact it already has. [Smile]

Beaten by the edit.

Yeah - you pick it right, Frisco -- but for some reason when I look at your picks/stats on our Yahoo bracket, it only shows you as "1" point, to my "3" points, although you should have 4 points now...

Wonder how long it take them to update...

Bless you, Frisco.

And Farmgirl, I would prefer you phrased that as "I was beginning to think UTEP was going to surprise us all." I would rather think UTEP was better than advertised than that Utah was overrated. But that's just me.

A game like that is no good for my bracket, but it's good for my soul.

On another note, here we go again. Utah vs. Kentucky. I ought to look it up -- how many times in the past 20 years has Utah met Kentucky in the NCAA tournament? It's more than a couple. And how many times has Utah gotten past the Wildcats? Zero.

I still weep over the 1998 Championship game.

Well, maybe this is the year. It could happen.

How did NFL go from top of our Hatrack leaderboard to near the last so fast?

I pretty much want to scrap my whole bracket after Kansas lost, and then Wake Forest lost -- that really blew several picks for me because I had both going fairly far.

Wow.... West Virginia University is in the Elite Eight!
Amazing. Of course the students had to celebrate last night by burning a couch

The fire dept reported over 50 fires and four overturned cars and one of those was set on fire too.
Idiots.
Wonder what will happen if we beat Louisville?

Even if I can get everything else right going forward, I don't know if I can beat Jeni.

Although.... I have Illinois and North Carolina battling it out for the championship game, and she doesn't, so maybe there is still hope as long as they remain in the game...

Farmgirl, you're looking pretty good in most scenario’s. I ran the generator and it looks like in most cases you’re on top. Tied a number of times, but still up there. Dang… good job.

Can’t believe WVU got so far. Can’t believe we blew a 20 point lead and didn’t get in the final four. Sigh……

Yeah - Frisco and I were talking about this at BobnDanaCon.

I think if we tie, he will get it. Now that I think about it - my "scores" that I used for a tiebreaker are closer to NBA-type scores than college scores (at least so far in this tourney)

But I'd be happy if North Carolina won.
