    Are you going to sponsor a 'second chance' tourney group?

    I realize Cyprus citizens with 100K euro in their bank accounts may have 30% to 70% of their assets seized, but I have a bigger problem...

    I lost 2 of my final four teams this weekend. Oh the humanity!


    Can you imagine? ... The first one, not the second one.

    I lost Oregon first round, Having 8 oo 10 correct picks doesn't help - I had Oregon thru to be the National Camps.
    Still have three of my final four, but, w/o Oregon I am dashed...
    What of the others from TSP?

    My hope is that my sudden Johnnie-come-late(ly) increase in the S fund doesn't bomb out Monday & for several following days like the Basketball brackets I picked...
