    Did you get in our pool, grandma? I did a quick scan but I don't see any of the players in our pool taking Oregon to win it all.

    My new goal this year is to not come in last place.

    Yes, in TSP's pool, cuz when I would check link for others in there, I saw USCfanhawaii, and Tom1Tom1.
    .. at least I supposed that is where I was.

    I was called Pat's Pleasant Bracket, then Pat's 2nd Pleasant Bracket.

    Oh yeah, I see you in there under Pat's Pleasant Bracket....but your final pick is NC State, not Oregon.

    Unfortunately, it looks like both you and Uncle Tom are done.....no more points available.....

    You may have just given me the final push over the top that I needed!! Michigan is IN...and Louisville is leading at the half (no jinxing!!).

    Me and DB WINS are tied at the hip. How I go, he goes, and vice versa! (But I think it is still too early to ask how the tie-breaker score works!)

    yes, that was in the original, which was an operator error on my part, I had intended Gonzaga, not that it made any diffrence..Quite Aparently!!

    When the note came open for Second chance picks, on Tuesday or Wednesday, I think it was, I went with Oregon.
    Somewhere there you should be able to get into that...I thought I had seen you listed, along with Tom1tom1 .....

    So what sport is next? Do hockey teams get to go thru this? How about the Corpus Christie Ice Rays - all teenagers...they were doing well in their
    regional playoffs yesterday...

    Yes, I knew that, but for some reason I thought we had a `tom1tom1' in our group - or did I just get used to seeing the name in the
    football contests.

    Also, I noted above that the IceRays are all teenagers, actually, ages range 17-21.

    Thanks again!!

    I started to enter the second chance tournament, but backed out when Tom did not sponsor a TSPTalk second chance. :toung:

    And now me and DBWins have to wait a whole week for Atlanta!! Maybe Ware will be healed up by then!?!

    Woo Hoo!! Go Cards!!

    Both my picks WON today!! Looks like it will come down to the tie-breaker score between me and DBWins!!

    But even cooler....I moved up to #5200 out of 3.3 Million who originally posted brackets on the Yahoo Sports Pick'em!!

    Now if I could use those skills at predicting the S&P, THEN I would have something!
