Just for shits and giggles, I present the Barack-et looks a little like mine. Should be noted he made these picks before learning Fab Melo will not be playing for 'Cuse.

Pat, recheck your post. I think half of it is missing.

Looks like I'll start with 14 of the first 16 right, right there with the pres. Was 12 for 12 to start things off. More chalk to come tomorrow, though also the majority of my upset picks are tomorrow. #9 St Louis, #10 Xavier, and #11 NC State. Other than that, all chalk.

So, chalk didn't hold up quite as well today. I called for 3 upsets and got them all right (St. Louis, Xavier, and NC State) but missed all those other crazy upsets. But since I had time on my hands, here's how everyone is doing assuming I added/read everything correctly,

Pat - What you posted is missing half the bracket and what shows is missing a few games. Not much I can do.

Corey - Got 17 of the round of 32 correct. Has 10 Sweet 16 teams still alive. 5 elite 8 teams and 3 Final Four teams but lost his champion in Mizzou.

CGYMike - Got 18 of the 32 games right these first 2 days. Still has 12 sweet 16 teams alive, 7 elite 8 teams, and his entire Final Four

Rhinestone Cowboy - 19 of 32 games right but only 8 sweet 16 teams alive and only 2 elite 8 teams and no Final Four teams. His odds are now fairly slim.

Walt - 21 of 32 games right. Has 12 sweet 16 teams alive, 7 elite 8 teams, 3 Final Four and his champion but not his runner up.

Dan - Much the same as Walt except his entire Final Four is alive with 21 of 32 right.

Me and the Pres - Both got 25 of 32 right with 13 sweet 16 teams alive, 7 elite 8 teams, 3 Final Four, and the entire championship game remain.

Big games tomorrow include K State vs Syracuse as both me and Dan have K State while most everyone else has Syracuse advancing deep. Also Baylor and Colorado could be big as a lot of people had UNLV over Baylor while both me and Dan have Baylor in the Elite 8.

I was all set to put up my brackets,but had trouble scanning it in,and sadly missed out on joining along on the fun here. Most of my pics I guessed right,but those upsets got a lot of us off guard. That's what makes this the most exciting thing to watch,next to Carmen,of course! Maybe next time I'll email my copy in,Carmen.

B-Ball crazed betters, we want to know how many of those little bumps for grip that there are on an official B-Ball and we know the answer. Made Jebby count them to make sure of the exact number before we would show him any more wet throbbing puss, clit and erect nips! Guys are so easy to manipulate! LOL

Any bets on the number of bumps? Much more fun to us than that "Bracket Shit Obsession!"

So How many bumps and that rhymes with humps! LOL Jebby shut up you are to funny and know we will type all that you tell us to!

So today's games are all in the book, and here is what I'm showing.

Rhinestone Cowboy is now even closer to being eliminated by any scoring system that I've ever seen used. He got 4 of 8 right today. Can get 2 more tomorrow and still 2 elite 8 teams.

Corey's hopes slip as well. He got 5 of 8 today but lost another Elite 8 team. His hopes lie in Florida St and Kansas to reach the Final Four and Kansas to the championship game.

Mike keeps his hopes alive with 6 of 8 but lost another elite 8 in Gonzaga. His entire Final Four is still alive though so that's his hope.

Dan got 6 of 8 right today and took no further damage.

Walt was the big winner today getting 7 right and taking no further damage.

I also stayed strong getting 6 of 8 right but I lost Vandy from my Elite 8.

For shits and giggles I posted the Barack-et and well, he'd be leading right now with 7 of 8 right and no further losses.

Tomorrow doesn't produce a lot of important games as far as we're concerned. An upset could always change that, but few games stand out as being big as far as we stand. Cincinnati and Florida St. is a bit of a big game as Corey needs FSU to go deep while Dan is the only person to take Cinci.

Other then that it's all about the big names all holding on. UNC, Kansas, and Mich St being the most important with Florida right behind that. There are 2 games tomorrow that are completely meaningless in this contest. Everyone took either Duke or Notre Dame (both eliminated) and either Temple or Michigan (both eliminated). The other game is Georgetown and NC State. Only Corey didn't take GTown and he took SDSU and only Mike is taking Georgetown to reach the elite 8.

As for LauraJebAndSue, they are called pebbles and a Spalding ball uses 122 per square inch for approximately 35,000 total. Brands do vary but I'm assuming they should all be close. I have seen numbers saying as little as 4000 though and as many as 9 million. I'm assuming the nine million is from a cheap ball that uses extremely small pebbles.

1,000 2,000 3,000 4,000 5,000 6,000 or more? Bet now and maybe a naughty day and night with Sue could be the prize for the winner!

For whatever reason my post didn't post last night. Probably wasn't logged on to the board, had a few drinks.

Laura and Sue, see my earlier post, they are not called bumps they are called pebbles and Spalding balls use 122 per square inch which comes out to about 35,000 on a regulation sized ball.

Anyway the Sweet 16 is set.

Rhinestone Cowboy is mathematically eliminated on any scoring sytem I've seen used.

Corey may also be out as so many people have Kentucky and Kansas he may not be able to make up enough ground. 17 right in rd 2 and 7 right in rd 3.

Mike took a big loss in GTown. 18 right in rd 2 and 10 right in rd 2. Biggest obstacle is catching Dan who also took Kentucky to win it all.

Dan got 21 right in rd 2 and added 10 more in rd 3 and has his entire Final Four alive.

Walt also got 21 right in rd 2 and added 10 in rd 3 but has lost Duke as his runner up.

I had 25 right in rd 2 but slipped a bit with only 9 right in rd 3.

The Pres would be kicking everyones butt right now.

Big loss was Kendall Marshall fracturing his wrist for UNC. That could prove big as UNC/Kansas should be a bit game assuming they both advance past Ohio and NC State. Also could prove big if we see the Kentucky - UNC championship game as well.

i'll take that bet girls, measure the circumference and divide by two. Multiply by the radius and the centimetri. Subtract pi and count the dots in a square mm. Square the remainder subtract the ambient temperature. That is the number of dimples on a golf ball.

wait, this was spose to be on a basket ball ? crap! i have to start all over again !

9,342,057
9,342,058
9,342,059

whew! done !

that's a whole lotta bumps... i'm surprised the LJS girls have any time to count them all, what with them being all in chains and whipped by Jeb in the dungeon. well i guess they do.

Or maybe they wanted to practice counting higher than what a gang bang is, how much is a gang bang anyway ?
Depends on the cover charge ! :drummer: :lmao:

I'm not going to wait on the final of Florida and Marquette to post the update for tonight. It looks a lot like it's a 3 person race between myself, Dan, and Walt based on traditional scoring. Mike may still be alive as well, I haven't done all of the math yet.

Anyway on traditional scoring Walt would take the lead tonight. All 3 of us are taking Kentucky, UNC, and Kansas tomorrow so not short term effects will occur from those 3 games tomorrow, but both me and Dan have Baylor while Walt has Duke(already out). A Baylor win would tie Dan and Walt and put me back in the lead (barring a Marquette comeback tonight). The big game for me and Walt is Saturday when Ohio St plays Syracuse. An Ohio State victory would eliminate Walt. At best Marquette comes back tonight and Baylor loses leaving him leading me by 6. Elite 8 games are traditionally worth 8 points and since the only other picks Walt has alive is UNC to win it all (which I have as well) if I get the 8 points for an OSU win then I will pass Walt and he won't be able to catch me. I however could lose that game and still catch Walt if Kentucky reaches the championship game.

As for me and Dan it comes down to how UNC and Kansas do in their region and then whether Ohio State reaches the championship game or not. Still a lot of possibilities.

Tomorrow night I'll be settling in for a Zeller double header as Tyler and UNC will face Ohio and then Cody and Indiana will do battle with arch rival Kentucky. Those boys are doing the little town of Washington, IN proud
