Official Yahoo Tournament Pick 'Em

[forgop]

I never would have guessed I'd be leading at this point.

It seems to me that the only way I don't win is if Duke beats Baylor.

I think if Duke wins tomorrow it will then come down to who wins between WV and Duke. I was born to hate Duke, but now I have to cheer for them so that I can win a few cigars. The good news is that they don't have to win the championship they just have to go to the finals!! This has been fun.

Wow. Don't think I have ever been part of a pool where NOBODY will pick the national champion.

I like my odds of getting 3 out of the 4 FF teams though (MSU over UT and Baylor over Duke).

Yup, I think you are right there.

3 out of 4 this year would be great but it looks like you had Ohio going to the final 4, not MSU.

Well, it looks like we will know our winner after the Duke/West Virginia game on Saturday.

Only 5 players can still score points, and it all rides on that game.

I will post the payoff results on Tuesday, so you know who you have to send your sticks to. Those of you getting sticks will need to PM your addy to those who are sending you sticks.

Go Butler!

It's funny, if Duke loses I think I drop completely out of the running. I hate Duke but I think I love cigars more, so lets go DUKE!!
On the Mike and Mike radio show they already know who won between them, what a strange tournament!

[Whee]

And the winner is.....



MarioF

I will wait until Tuesday to post official results (in case of any changes by Yahoo) but I think our winner is safe.

This had to be one of the best tourneys in a long time from a fan standpoint.

Thanks to everyone for playing.


Go Bulldogs!!

If there are no complaints, we'll run with this.

17th place pays 3 to 4th place
16th place pays 4 to 3rd place
15th and 14th pay 5 each to 2nd (10)
13th to 5th pay 5 each to 1st (45)

Based on our payout schedule above, here is who needs to send what to who. Recipients are in bold.

Smitdavi sends 3 sticks to cwood009

jkim05 sends 4 sticks to forgop

elderboy02 and ir13'sbustedbracket send 5 sticks each to BryanB

gnukfu, cle_smoker, WyGuy1, yourchoice, silentjohn, Fail, illinoishoosier, coz77 and hotreds send 5 sticks each to MarioF

If the 4 recipients could PM their addys to the payers, we can get these paid.

Just a note, I am leaving town on Saturday and will be on and off for about a month while I take care of a rehabbing post knee surgery Mom, so icehog3 has graciously agreed to keep an eye on the thread for me and prod the stragglers.

Congrats to MarioF and thanks to all for playing.
